Before: Kilcher with a calculated risk, taking on the big woman before anyone else can stick a toe in the water. Carson reportedly beating up sparring partners in training, but having to shed 20 pounds in the last day before weigh in. Experts predict that if Lisa doesn't get her in 3, she won't get her at all. Red one-piece cotton aerobics leotard for Lisa, grey cotton stretch leggings to the knee - grey cotton/lycra aerobics bottoms for Jewel, teal jogbra.

During R1: A smiling Lisa Nicole during the staredown, licks her lips campily before the fight, but it is Jewel who takes charge early. Kilcher bringing it inside, turning her torso into thudding lefts and rights, hurting Carson right off the bat. Jewel backs Carson to the ropes, pounding the beef around Lisa's soft midsection and clubbing Lisa's chubby breasts. After a minute of shove-and-slug inside, Carson walks Jewel off the ropes back to the center of the ring and returns fire. Trading toe to toe, a right hand bounces hard off Jewel's temple, staggering her and a left on the jaw busts her up. Lisa taking over, hurling the right hand into the pit of Jewel's stomach, then palming up on Jewel's shoulders to push the poet back. Kilcher looking woozy, taking hammering shots as she retreats, and midway through the bout, Carson dips a shoulder and explodes a Tysonesque right hand off Jewel's face, getting her whole body into the punch. Kilcher frozen for a second, then toppling backwards to crash lifelessly to the canvas. Lisa Nicole steps over the fallen blonde with that cocky smile, recording the first round stoppage in impressive fashion.

After: Jewel tempted to slug by Carson's pudgy midriff, but taking the bait backfired as Lisa connected hard and often in an all action fight. Jury still out on Carson - everyone knows she can punch, but what happens when she gets extended?
