Thanks to Ginny for this repost.

Before: "I've been working on a lot of technical things for this fight," says bright-eyed Jen in prefight. "I want to pin Jewel down with my jab - yes I said 'jab' - you're going to see it in this fight. I look at Cat Bell as my model - she can bring it, but she doesn't give lesser fighters the chance to compete - she breaks girls down first, THEN puts the hammer down. That's what I want to do on Kilcher: control her, discourage her, stop her." Jewel coming off victory against the hard punching, but hard living and raw Pink - she knows she's got a different animal in front of her tonight. "Jenny's in great fighting shape, not just punching shape, so I'll have to wear her down, take some of the life out of those eyes of hers. Comparing herself to Cat Bell is a little much I think - Jenny's not much more than a beach brawling blonde, and I think I can get some things on her." Jenny in electric blue bikini, yellow strings, Jewel in teal bandeau bikini, slick ponytail.

During R1: Jewel moving her head side to side, seeing the O'Dell jab, negotiating it, trying to get close. End of minute one - Kilcher trying to get to Jenny's chest - O'Dell jabbing over the top, turns on a short, intercepting right on the face as Kilcher edges in - Jewel sits down just-like-that! Kilcher up with frank astonishment on her face - O'dell's sock leaving an impression early. Jenny brawny on follow up, wading in, bodying up, pressing Jewel's back into the ropes, then going to town. Clawing lefts and rights against both flanks, Jewel beaten groggy, stooping forward - Jenny keeping up a healthy lather, fitting her fists in flat to the body around and inside the elbows to the bell. Shutout O'Dell - Jewel wide eyed, shook up after 1.

R2: O'Dell showing maturity - she's rushed in on hurt prey in the past and got caught - she pumps her jab this round, busting it to Jewel's face, getting Kilcher to give ground. Jewel crossing her arms, bending at the waist, but getting tracked and poked - she's on her heels and ineffective. Jenny actually sliding to her left - maybe a little robotic, you can see the wheels turning as she executes - but it's working, keeping Kilcher's feet moving, Kilcher's guns in their holsters.

Rds 3-4-5: Jewel's got her legs back, cleared her head - she takes the fight to Jenny in robust fashion. Kilcher bobbing and weaving, risking Jenny's jab, but she's walking through it - O'Dell doesn't fight well backing up, prefering to lean her shoulder into Jewel and work when Kilcher's in close. Jewel able to get leverage on the taller girl, controlling Jenny's hips, walking her to the ropes, then getting off with ripping, abrupt 3 punch bursts. Jenny standing upright, gloves upright, getting shellacked - O'Dell clearly surprised at the handspeed in combination from Jewel and soaking up clean shots head and body. Pattern repeated throughout these rounds - after a ref's break, Jenny jabs as Jewel closes, then Kilcher takes over, walks her girl to the ropes and puts rugged sequences together against a stationary blonde. O'Dell's corner reading her the riot act - she's letting Jewel fight her fight, erase the knockdown and pull even in this thing.

R6: O'Dell shining up nicely, gets back to her jab, lateral movement, keeping her back clear of the ropes, making Jewel turn, move her feet. Jenny making several adjustments to handle Jewel's pressure. Off the jab, O'Dell will palm Kilcher in the shoulders, keeping her outside. When Jewel does close, Jen brings the jab back, easing Jewel into a headlock, Jen holding Kilcher's face to her chest until the ref break's em up. Smart stuff - Kilcher's opportunity set minimized.

R7: Jenny pumping stick, sometimes banging it off Jewel's face, sometimes missing over the top, but it's setting the tone, distance of the fight. Jewel dipping, crouching her way in, but 60 second mark, she catches another stubby right hand flush on her face, put wobbly butt as O'Dell reloads, comes forward strong. Big, bruising Jenny O'Dell beat down round - she's shoulder-cycling the jab up top to occupy Jewel's guard then THUMPING a thick right hand off Kilcher's firm tummy, putting a sick look of complaint on the Jewel's pretty face.

R8: O'Dell starting to ramp up, leave Jewel in the dust. Kilcher getting palmed tuff in her shoulders, forced back, getting picked apart by the jab and drilled by accurate rights - she can't get her weight forward and the upperbody movement's getting sluggish. Jenny heartless, determined, pouring it on - she's getting clean looks at Jewel's swelling face and whenever Kilcher covers up, there's that trembling, available body. Jenny really standing up and giving to Jewel downstairs - sensational rights and lefts pounding into meat - Kilch just bent forward, soaking it up at the bell.

R9: Kilcher keeps trying - smoking Jenny across the chops a surprising overhand right, getting her again with it, then too greedy: Jenny steps out on the third right, fits her own right inside and sits Jewel down in a fog. Kilcher all rags and rubble, willing herself to rise, but she's badly beaten, gutting out the minutes. Now Jenny climbs aboard, applying the whip, wailing Jewel to the finish line. Kilcher's butt in the ropes, gloves earmuffed up as she droops - Jenny helping herself, lips tight with the strain of her own punching, loading up 3 and 4 right hands amidships, then shifting to unleash lefts.

R10: 3 long minutes - Jenny rides Jewel hard, puts her away wet in one sided action. Jewel all busted up, shying away hurt from punching until she runs out of ring, then covering up - O'Dell walking her down, squaring away and breaking out the baseball bat. Sickening, bashing work - Jenny walloping Jewel's flanks and back, keeping her sedated with hurt. Occasionally, boozy Jewel reaches around Jen's waist, face wet against Jen's breast - O'Dell stacks the girl up in the ropes to make her feel weight before the ref's break. Bell to bell, Jenny keeping up a steady thumping throughout - comes back UD10 wide O'Dell.

After: First half nip and tuck, back and forth, both women getting worked over to some extent, but the homestretch is all O'Dell. Jenny using her legs and brains tonight, making the fight difficult for Jewel - Kilcher unable to come forward, unable to find Jenny once O'Dell got on track. "I'm disappointed," says Jen with a mock pout, "I wanted to stop her, but she's really tough - I just couldn't make her quit. I thought I boxed great - I did what I trained to do, but I was inconsistent with it, let her get inside my trunks a little bit and that's frustrating. I needed the work, I'm happy with the rounds and the main thing is: Jewel's hurting and busted up." Shoulder shrug, sweet smile.
