Before: Storied rivalry revisited--Ireland with the more impressive career overall, but head to head Hunter holds the slight edge, always proving tough for Kathy to handle. Ireland still within a pound of her championship weight, but Hunter comes in a true big woman, figuring to use her size and strength to overcome Ireland’s fitness and quicks. Kathy in black string bikini, Rachael in orange tankini.

During R1: Hunter stalking, hands out front of her body, stacks Ireland up against the ropes and rub a dubs the brunette’s puppies with short, powerful strokes. Hunter stepping with Ireland as she slides along the ropes, always keeping the pressure on--those chopping blows dropping down onto Kathy’s chest or chin have Ireland holding on at points. Round to Hunter.

R2: Hunter still looking for the body, but Kathy able to get her legs into the act to expose Rachel, Hunter’s big legs shot--she has trouble cutting off the ring, staying in position to punch as Ireland flits around, in and out. Kathy swooping in with wide lefts or rights, starts to pick Hunter apart, although the big woman sops up the blows without apparent effect.

R3:  More of the same, Ireland able to move laterally, stay one step ahead of Hunter’s right hand, and make the blonde pay as she pivots. Ireland’s jab landing thickly to Hunter’s face, has the blonde’s eye looking puffy at the bell.

R4: All Kathy as she steps it up--those whip action lefts and rights from outside land repeatedly, fists bouncing guard off Hunter’s skull or brawny shoulders. Rachel looking to block punches, is easily jabbed or feinted out of position, and Ireland able to lean into cracking right hands to the face that have Rachel rocking back onto her heels. By the final minute, Kathy has Rache broken down, and Ireland able to drift the blonde with a series f looping rights to leave Hunter wobbly butt at the bell.

R5: Big woman shakes it off, bodies up on Kathy, and shoves her  up against the ropes for a bell to bell beating. Hunter starts with a little backfist jab to the chest, 2 or 3 short strokes, then drops the right hand down onto Ireland’s breast, setting up the short left hook across the brunette’s ribs. Beat down puts a grimace o n Kathy’s face and mileage on her legs as she spends all 3 minutes covering up on the ropes.

R6: Rachel bodying up again, walking Kathy to the ropes, and repeating her side to side demolition of Ireland’s chest and ribs, Hunters fists travel only a few inches, but they are jolting Kathy as they dig into her body, and midway through the round, Ireland’s legs begin to quiver. Rachel working patiently, backfists Kathy’s chest a few times, then digs a solid right uppercut to the solar plexus, neatly dropping Ireland to all fours. Kathy in agony, man ages to beat the count, but as she slides awkwardly along the ropes, Hunter bludgeons her to the mat with a running overhand right on the temple. Gamely< Kathy climbs the ropes t get to her feet, but she is wrecked, and Hunter piles on, pounding her foe’s hips and ribs with clubbing lefts and rights to the bell. Hunter with a post-round shove of disdain, all smiles as she walks back to her corner.

R7: Hunter beginning to show signs of fatigue, carrying her mitts at her stomach, but she has a hurting brunette in front of her, and Ireland cant get out of the way. The girls lean in to slug toe to toe, with Kathy pulling out of the exchanges more and more beat up, Round ends with Rachel stacking and mauling Kathy up against the ropes, leaning her body on Ireland in between devastating one-twos to the stomach.

R8: Hunter out of gas, breathing from her mouth, and Ireland starts to get a second wind. Kathy on her toes to start the round, slaps out the long jab, and has Rachel walking into telegraphed right crosses--Hunter too exhausted to counter, Kathy luring Rachel forward, tees off with the right, working off her jab brilliantly to bust up Hunter’s face this round, Shutout with power for Ireland as Rachel looks staggery at the bell.

R9: Kathy knows she needs to hurt Rachel and she comes out backhanding the jab, setting up the lashing right hands to Hunter’s all-too-available face. Rachel blundering forward, getting her head knocked by savage all-out rights. Hunter keeps her face, but she is taking “A” leather from Ireland, who grits her teeth to punch Rachel’s face as hard as she can.

R10: Ireland punched out, hunter all but exhausted--the girls loll in one another’s arms in lengthy clinches, eyes closed, mouths gasping. Hunter able to swat at Ireland; middle with mean right hands from the side as they waltz. Round ends with Rachel bullying Kathy in the corner, pushing her back over the turnbuckle with a forearm at the neck, pressing her shoulder in o Kathy to make her feel the weight--and even occasionally digging the right into Ireland’s flat tummy. At the bell, the drained warriors continue mugging one another until referee intervention. Decision comes back: winner Rachel Hunter.

After: Delirious Hunter puts an arm around a still wobbling Kathy, and leads her dimly around he ring in the model’s walk of shame. As Hunter waves to the crowd, one can’t help but remember the countless times these two have paraded one another around a fight-ring. Neither girl in her prime, but the pairing brings the bets out of both, and Ireland’s spirited late comeback makes this a fine addition to the rivalry.
