BEFORE: "I did very well against Kris on 'Sarah Marshall'," Mila says of her on-set sparring experience against blonde phenom. "She was older and her body was a bit more mature than mine, but i really competed and wasn't intimidated at all by her. I feel like I'm finally hitting my stride now, and I promise: Kris Bell is going to get into a real fight with me this time." Bell's noticed signs of maturity in Kunis' game...but she's not convinced. "I weighed Mila during 'Marshall," Kristen says in rebuttal, "measured her...and I felt then, and I feel now, that she's not top competition. There's girls like me and Hayden - maybe Lacey and Claire - who are top echelon performers, and then there are girls like Mila, who are busy little bee type fighters until you swat 'em. It'll be good to get rounds in, but I honestly feel I'm 50 to 75 percent better than Mila in all categories. She won't last with me. She can't." Mila in tan western motif bikini with fringes; small black gloves; hair up in high, long ponytail. Kristen in baby blue bikini, small white gloves; hair in feisty beach ponytail with messy bangs. Outdoor contest - Hawaiian Hilton - bleachers set up around regulation ring.

During R1: Girls spark jabs off offending faces - small gloves chipping cheek, chin. Ponytails tossing - clockwise stepping. Sporadic flurries after jabbing sessions: both girls lathering away body and head. Bell's hands quicker in combination, heavier: she's getting the better of trade. Down the stretch, Kbell tunes Kunis up to the midsection via rapid left/right shoeshine; clips the chin a tasty, tight hook - Bell twisting to her right to get it snug. Kunis wide-eyed, startled as legs give way: pretty brunette steppin' in fence post holes early as Bell draws first blood.

R2: Girls slicking up under tropical sun...Kunis stalking with fists clenched tight at cheeks; Bell sidestepping briskly, scuffing jabs off Mila's hairline. Second minute - Bell circling, working in and out: Kris in off the jab - jamming straight right cross between Mila's mitts; hooking Mila's chin and KUNIS GOES DOWN! Tidy small mitt PIK-PAK drops Mila to young buns: she's sitting up all pretty and spooked. Snivelling 8, Mila: on comes Kbell and KUNIS WON'T HAVE IT! SAVAGE two way flyweight hup-hup emerges as Kris wades in to finish only to find way more fight than she bargained. Blonde chin ripped rights and lefts Mila snarling, slugging off ropes. Krissy stunned, knees buckling - she has to bail with tail between her legs. Bell a woozy beauty, blinking, bell rung: it's Mila on the warpath at the bell, baring fangs. Gutsy effort off the mat ruins Bell's 10-8, converting it to standard 10-9.

R3: Answer-round for Mila. Fists at cheeks, she's at Kristen - stepping-with; dogging her stubby jabs; forcing exchanges. Mila working Krissy's ribcage tic-tac-toe: Kunis deploying batting lather downstairs, slapping away with gusto. Bell grumpy, brow furrowed, lips curled: Mila's tanning her up and Krissy's hating it.

R4: More Mila. Kbell sluggish - forming up behind her gloves in tight peek-a-boo, stooping forward at waist midring. Mila punching at the guard - blocked - but flailing lefts and rights keep Bell occupied. Kunis scoring to the body - especially a useful, chopping, palm-up left hook taking Kris in under right elbow. Blonde girl grunting on receipt, cramping up: she's shabby, not moving well. Left uppercuts off the body shot from Kunis - she's doubling up the left hand like a little pro. Good stepping pursuit, constant pressure applied: Now it's Mila's ponytail twitching and frisky as Krissy's stays flat and damp against her neck. Sound of Mila's gloves against Krissy's ribs/waistline: PIK! PIK! PAK! PEK!

R5: Bell doubling up the jab, assuming forward aspect (right heel up off canvas; weight on left leg): stiff, straight poke keeping Mila at arm's length. Bell's face: stern, scowling - 100% engaged by her foe tonight. Krissy softening Mila up with jabs, then threading in straight, jamming right hands between brunette mitts, spiking face. Kunis punched dizzy, knees buckling: she's right in front of Bell, getting picked apart. Mila firms after bad early moments - encroaching on Kris, finding ways to hook her body. Mila keeping right to her temple as she's getting off lefty: good tight form allows her to explore Kristen's midsection/ribs/tits again with vigor. Bell: Krissy's round, but frustration evident...Mila's not going away as planned.

R6; Answer-round for Mila - proving competitive after good Bell moments. Mila jabbing-with, retaking initiative - then dipping in close to mine body via left hooks. Mila limber with her left hand - lapping at Kbell's flank in behind right elbow; cutting in UNDER right elbow with palm up choppers; picking up perky blonde tits via short-shrugging left uppercuts. Krissy glum - getting touched up. She retreats around the ring, occasionally sitting into ropes to ride things out, then clinch for breaks. Mila energetic, comparatively playful vs frowning Kbell.

R7: Reprisal hooks from Bell scouring Mila's tits: Krissy getting all up in Kunis' rack for payback. Forehead to forehead they lean in, ripping away underneath: healthy flyweight hup-hup hustled into opposing breadbaskets. Kris imposing herself - outpunching Mila to body, then coming up top via chipping little uppercuts: Kunis clipped and vexed, starting to loosen up in her stance. Down the stretch, Krissy landing TART right hands swept across cringing brunette abs: Mila whining on receipt, lips curling off teeth as she covers up hurt. Bell: Krissy eyes bright back to her corner, nodding briskly to her trainer "I've got this."

R8: Kristen relentless, jabbing Mila to ropes, then laying siege: brunette suffers. Kunis in slumping earmuff, butt-in-ropes: she's being badly lathered here, tattooed head and body. Bell nice n' tight...elbows in...torso dipping side to side/twisting on hips to distribute leather evenly upon Mila's chassis PIK! PAK! PEK! Gets very bad late: Krissy will dip to her left, start pumping repeat left hands up into Mila's lungs...dreadful, digging pumps wicking away Kunis' strength. It's all too much: dig, dig, dig at the body cripples Mila - drops her to hands and knees. Blonde girl smirks as brunette wheezes, stricken with body pain.

R9: ANSWER-ROUND, MILA KUNIS! Mila just won't punk. Midring, she engages, out-hustling Kbell toe-to-toe, forcing blonde into ragged earmuff. Cranky Kris gives ground - punches batting at her arms/flanks; peppering her raised guard. Mila snarling, letting hands go - lots of slaps and pushes, but the overall effect is buffetting Krissy. Bell backing up while pumping jabs: good technique but Mila's ravenous - taking the knocks to get back on and work. Bell scoured 'round the ring, harried and rushed: Mila tossing a blanket over Krissy and just wailing her frisky. BELL: Kristen scowling, mouse forming under right eye, ribs glowing pink; Mila all scuffed up, but jubilant as she's giving Miss Top Echelon all she could want through 9!

R10: Kristen closing up stance, getting cute: she'll edge in with left shoulder, push on Mila while sidestepping to turn her, then disengage on the angle. Kunis bamboozled in spots, but responding with friskiness: brunette constantly pushing the pace, slapping and cuffing even when she's not in good position to get off. Kris sliding back, looking for single right hand counters...but Mila swinging hooks, gambling on right hands usually foils the plans. Down the stretch - Kristen battered about her paunch slides to her right along ropes: Mila leaps at her from outside Krissy's left shoulder, hooking face. Bell's head knocked back...she's upright at ropes, hands at her waist when Kunis leans in righty, kissing Krissy to chin! BLONDE GIRL DOWN! Gorgeous, head-swivelling knockdown - Bell blown to her back parallel to ropes as Kunis bleats happily down: ref pushes bouncing brunette away as shabby Kris climbs ropes. Bell beats count, forms earmuff, sits in ropes glum and wincing. Kunis puppyish - hopping back in to lather her blonde: good frothy beat-down administered as Bell wilts forward behind her mitts, soaking. Comes back a hardfought draw.

After: Kunis grinning, left eye closing as she lifts hands high and struts: draw with Kbell just might be Mila's best night in the ring. Bell hands on hips, disgusted with the result...classy blonde might have taken her pesky little brunette for granted. "Everything the Krusher's taught me, I'm finally putting into practice," Mila grins, face scuffed, but glowing. "If they want me back, I'm theirs. I know I can move at flyweight now and do things for them: all I'm asking is a second chance! Look: Kbell's in tatters! That proves I'm good!" True, but harsh skeptics might say it's still not a win, even though improvement is evident.
