(BBU/ACB Independent vs Downunder Boxing)
(4-6, 4 KO vs 4-10, 3 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: One might argue Pia Miller has to go back to the drawing board after losing back-to-back fights earlier this year but even 'Green & Gold's Sarah Cumming claims the Chilean-born stunner has reached the high-water mark of her career already and the only way is down. Ouch. However Miller herself has booked a rather manageable contest versus the former Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins who can be accused of punching above her weight lately as well. Hawkins fell to Brooks Nader and Yasmin Verheijen last season and it's maybe time for the blonde model to admit she's not reaching that elite level anymore. Then again she can always sell out any fight card in Australia and she enjoys a bigger crowd support inside the Marvel Stadium.

Pia Miller wears a red bikini set & black gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a curled ponytail. Jennifer Hawkins wears a light green bikini set & golden gloves. Long dark blonde hair tied in a curled ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Both women take a slow approach into this fight and the single-punch striking doesn't exactly ignite much fire into the crowd either but Jennifer decides to become more aggressive and lands several clean shots into the brunette's face before Pia fires her response on target. The action picks up come the second minute where Jennifer drills her mitts into the brunette's midsection and avoids a looping hanger to barge more leather into Miller's breadbasket. She drives the Chilean-born woman onto the ropes and tries to knock her head off with a sudden slugging surge but Pia clinches her into safety at the last moment to escape more trouble.

Rounds 2 & 3:
Pia gets more aggressive during the next six minutes but she fails to really expose the blonde's high-guard so allthough she makes a better impression by the numbers, she can't quite drop Hawkins off her comfort zone and struggles to punish her outright. The Melbourne crowd is still handed a solid slugging battle of attrition before Miller runs out of steam just when she's backed the former Miss Universe onto the ropes. One lost chance here, another one there and Sarah Cumming is quick to point out why Pia fell out of the Sirens' favor. Meanwhile Jennifer rips some quick hooks to end each round which leaves the brunette fuming as she desperately tries to prove she's still got what it takes. Well, maybe she should try her chances versus the Downunder coach Nikki Visser since...

Round 4:
...she gets badly pummelled by Hawkins early in the fourth. Another wide swing misses on the approach and it's all Jennifer from there as she rattles Miller with a piercing double on the mouth before slicing her into a standstill with more head shots on target. Pia is slow to raise her arms and remains glued to the spot when the blonde model thumps her from both flanks until she breaks her resilience... one looping shot on the temple too many sends Miller trembling forward to meet a vicious uppercut on the chin... DOWN GOES THE EX-SIREN!!! Pia gets laid out flat on her back and descends into loud spasms at first but then gets a lucky break when Jennifer begins to celebrate too early. A brief delay allows the brunette to battle back to her feet at eight and she vows to somehow continue despite looking more than dizzy. Hawkins taunts her into some attacks which find nothing but thin air while the blonds adds more cuts to Miller's swollen face. Woof. Things suddenly look very bleak for the Chilean-born stunner as she gets pounded onto the ropes where she gets saved by the bell... but not for long!

Round 5:
Jennifer flies in with the head-hunting juice and renders Pia numb seconds into the fifth... a steady dose of hooking menace owerwhelms the ailing brunette who stops the barrage with her face and crumbles underneath the onslaught to TAKE A KNEE when Hawkins bursts her nostrils into a blood-seeping mess. Uh-oh!! The Melbourne crowd wants that blood spilled alright but it's too much for Pia who remains down on one knee during the count and quite frankly she didn't even make an effort to beat it out this time. KO5 Jennifer Hawkins!!!

AFTER: The former Miss Universe can soak in all the glory that was hard to come by in recents months while Pia simply storms out of the ring to avoid the awkward questions regarding her future. She should remain in popular demand on the southern hemisphere but might be heading into a veteran gatekeeper role more than anything else. Back to Jennifer and she's ready to reboot her career allthough she admits targeting BBU Top 15 lightweights might no longer be a viable plan going forward.

Official Result: Jennifer Hawkins def. Pia Miller KO5.
