Before: Typical impromptu beach fight comes together quickly - women spot each other on sand; make inquiries; agree to time and place. Fight facilitated by Jenny O'Dell who's happy to serve as arbitrator beforehand and ref during - also offering a few comments for Beach Beat magazine. "It's great to see Cindy out here - she's still got that hungry eye and I know she really wants to put Kate down hard. Walsh is a good veteran redhead - in chatting with her, she claims to have handled Katherine Heigl in sparring, and if that's true, Cindy could have her hands full. These women are in shape - they're big, physical girls and I think this is terrific contest that's SO good for boxing! What got me involved was the fact that they just couldn't share the beach - I love that kind of competitive spirit." Cindy in black bikini with gold connections at hip and strap support, black gloves - kinky beach hair loose. Kate in flesh-toned bikini, black gloves - kinky beach hair loose. Jenny in zebra print bikini and visor/ponytail. Fought officially at welterweight; fight taped for an ESPN Beach Boxing magazine show; crowd of about 50 lucky tourists on an undisclosed Hawaiian beach - high noon.

During R1,2: Flat feet on sand - sturdy puncher's stances. Identical looks - women with dukes loose, chest high - each fighter dug in, bending supple at the waist, stepping in stiff left jabs. Crisp, sunkissed contact as both faces catch leather - girls rotate torsos to mitigate this, gradually bringing right hands up to protect. Both women rifling a meanspirited right hand long to bodies - spearing blasts detonating off firm, fleshy tummies and proud jugs with big sunny spanks. Both women employing muscular clinches when they fall in - each breathing hard, walking the other around. Kate very clever in the clinch, always turning up-sun of Cindy, making Crawford squint. Kate also utilizing the slight incline of the beach, constantly turning so she's uphill and pushing (or punching) downhill on Cindy. Methodical, grinding fare - Walsh steadily encroaching on Crawford, getting the extra touch, and visibly hurting Crawford with at least one lancing right hand to the body late in the second. Jenny working hard throughout to break the clinches - forced to reach an arm in between struggling vixens and yank 'em apart.

R3: Cindy with a wide, slow hook, steps in, turns into a dynamite right and DOWN GOES KATE! Walsh caught flush, dropped to her back in sand: she's blinking, knees up, elbows propped on turf with hands up as she takes a moment to tingle. Crawford businesslike - stalking away with a thoughtful frown, hands on hips as Kate rolls painfully over her right hip to stand. Jenny wipes Kate's mitts, checks her eyes, waves Cindy on in. Resumption of the methodical, planted gun-platform stuff - girls shelling each other with heavy jabs, sliding on in to clinch; girls turning into heavy right hands, booming away to jug or tummy with straight-shock deliveries. Kate recuperating well from the knockdown denies Crawford any kind of clean-up: Cindy rebuked by hard jabs, bogged down in brawny clinches, walked around. Walsh stabilizes her front, does a good job of minimizing damage in a dangerous third.

R4: Cindy's most consistent round sees her come forward, be more muscular in the clinches, put her body on Kate and make her take weight. Crawford walking Kate down, shelling redhead a very hard jab: Walsh grimacing, blocking now, looking to walk Cindy into delaying clinches. Crawford leaning in, sloping those murderous right hands down into Kate's midriff - big, booming spanks amidships have redhead wincing, cringing, and wobbly butt. Down the stretch, Cindy pounding away long up the middle, batting thick and strapping to either flank: she's got Kate hurt. Mouthbreathing, Walsh steps back, goes to her right knee as Jenny bodies Cindy back at the bell (the bell in this case a freon horn sounded by the time keeper).

R5: Once again Walsh proves heady, durable. She matches stout, bashing jabs with Cindy - big girls slamming away to chests, left shoulders and mouths with thudding poke. Constant clinches, especially after either woman launches a big right hand - punch-n'-clutch a staple of both fighters' approaches. Hard work for Jenny - she's in there reefing at arms, occasionally chiding the women "Come on guys - break when I say break." Cindy starting to walk in behind earmuff - giving Kate the chance to strap that waistline some thick-stroking lefts and rights: Walsh clapping away to Crawford's healthy torso for points in the 5th.

R6: Kate's most consistent round sees her outbox, outpush, outsmart her legendary foe. Cindy grunting from early long right hands rifled to her midsection: she's cramped up, conservative, looking for the clinch. Walsh steadily walking Cindy down, shelling her with the jab, leaning into brawny rights, then pasting away left/right to waist line as Cindy's trying to hug-up. Walsh sidestepping in sand - getting up-sun of Cindy - surprising her from outside. Horn-to-horn shutout has Crawford mouthbreathing, frowning during the break.

R7: Cindy stepping right while jabbing, leans in and fetches Kate a gorgeous right cross to chin: Walsh momentarily stunned, steps in fence post holes, earmuffing up and taking terrible strapping rights against her flank as Cindy gets big-girl. Series of crafty clinches saves Kate from real trouble - she denies Crawford satisfaction with tummy to tummy cuddle-ups - Jenny reefing and tugging, threatening Walsh with a point deduction for excessive holding. By the final minute - Kate's got her legs back under her - she's punishing Cindy the jab, pushing her to either side while sidestepping. Walsh escapes another potentially disasterous situation as Crawford can't find the off-switch. Crowd has grown to around 100 as cell-phone reports vector in nearby fans rave-style.

R8: Kate on the march. Girls in those dug in, flat footed stances, dipping at the waist, stepping in their jabs: Walsh triggering the right hand more effectively, belting Cindy jug and tummy. Crawford grimacing, giving ground: Kate taking turf away from Cindy, walking her down, landing heavy single right hands up the middle. Second minute - Walsh has Cindy covering up, stooping forward: time to wax that waistline. Great, strapping licks admonish Cindy's hips and tummy - Kate baring her teeth, muscles of her shoulder and back striating into view as she whacks away. Crawford showing guile, soaking up shots, then walking Kate into clinches: Jenny once again pulling at strong arms, pushing big-girl chests to get these two to separate. Down the stretch, Walsh scoring lustily on Crawford every time the girls come together: Cindy's wobbly-butt when the horn sounds.

R9: Crawford responds. She outjabs Kate decisively, really punching back Walsh's face and stymieing her advance. Cindy leaning in and down, pounding the right hand off Kate's pale midsection or pleasant breasts - Crawford's fist bouncing off flesh, her right elbow coming up on follow through. Cindy mixing it up a little - hurling the odd sidearm right to Kate's left hip, or lashing left hooks to tummy - Crawford working both sides of the plate AND up the middle to back Walsh up in the ninth.

R10: Crawford hooks wide off the jab, commits on a bending right cross, lights Kate up to chin again. Walsh sent stampin' to her right - she rallies without going down, but she's all rung up. Crawford taking no chances - immediately bodying up and walking Kate back several steps: Cindy pushing and leaning on Kate until Jenny physically breaks 'em. Relentless Crawford assault from that point - steady, pulverizing jab-pulse; lusty right hands up the middle, then strapping, batting work to either flank as Kate cringes forward. Walsh in trouble, but cagey: she's walking Cindy into clinches, refusing the brunette at every opportunity. Horn sounds - Jenny tugs 'em apart as big vixens are reluctant to call it a day. Comes back UD10 Cindy C. Robust crowd of 200 cheering and clapping, crowding in close for postfight.

After: 5 rounds a piece - Crawford knockdowns the difference in a sultry, steamy battle of big-girl will on sand. Smiling Jenny fills in as interviewer, standing between the fighters with mic in hand as camera rolls. "I knew I could box with her," Kate says - face shiny with hurt, but eyes still bright, "what I didn't know is that I could muscle her and really be the strong girl in this fight." Cindy rolling her eyes as Kate continues. "Honestly, I'd be interested in La Conquista versus Cindy - something that would really test our bodies and hearts, because I think I'd do very well." Crawford to Jenny's right, has a different take. "Kate couldn't take my punch - OBVIOUSLY she wasn't stronger. I hurt her throughout this fight, but I will give her this: Kate, you came to fight and you rallied about as well as anyone I've ever been in with. I beat you and I'd like to hear a little acknowledgement from you on that score, but whatever - that was a good fight (extends hand to shake). You want to do it again, we'll do it again. And Jenny - I'd like to thank you for your help in putting this together - good job, girl." Jenny O'Dell chips in as ice thaws all over the place. "That was great guys - super effort. Kate, I'd love to see you in with Lauren Graham or Virginia Madsen..." girls continue to chat as cameraman finishes up. Interesting aside - Kiana Tom reportedly furious that Jenny O'Dell helped to put this fight together using her own beach contacts, charging nothing for admission, and horning in on Tom's exclusive ESPN deal. Hawaii's Kiki's turf: who the hell does Jenny think she is?
