Before: “I know there’s been a lot of speculation as to Kiana’s motivation for wanting this fight,” Hilarie says in preflight, “but as far as I’m concerned, it’s just about me and her. She wants to show she can still get it done as rickety old codger in a young woman’s game: I want to knock off a legendary name of the past and build my rep at her expense.. There’s no love lost here--I know the history if TE vs. Kiana--but really, I think this is all about Kiana and me now.” Tom nodding in agreement, trotting out her usual platitudes on her side of the dais, but Dani Fishel not as politically correct sounds off on Leno: “I’ve kept a low profile while Hilarie and Kiana promote the fight, but I KNOW what Tom is up to. I’m going to say this once, on national television: Kiana, you better treat Hilarie with respect on this fight. You know what I’m talking about. If it’s a good clean fight, I won’t have anything more to say., Anything other than that, and you WILL answer to me,” Kiana in black sports bra, red high waisted aerobics bottoms, white shoes and socks. Hilly in black push up, black and red plaid trunks, black shoes/white socks.

During R1: Kiki with the sharp, piston jab off her hip, startling Hilarie in the mouth--Tom moving well early off the stick, wiry legs stepping decisively in either direction. Midway through, girls trade fat hooks--Burton gets shook--and Tom leans into a CRASHING right cross through the middle. DOWN GOES HILARIE! Burton tasting the Hawaiian Express for the first time blinking she gets up on her elbows, shakes her pretty blonde tousle: Keek can still sock. Burton up at 8--Tom moves in, Kiana: wide stance; right hand at her cheek; cranking Tommy Hearns hooks up underneath to work younger woman’s ribcage to the bell, Smoldering look of satisfaction from Tom as she withdraws--Burton sent rickety to her stool for repairs.

R2: Burton doubling up the jab, being rangy, being tall--she’s forcing Keek to reach, chipping away at Hawaiian’s beautiful cheek bones with choppy rights and lefts. End of minute one--Tom falling forward as she comes up short with gambling right hands--Hilly gets a compact hook off her right (back) foot and TOM SPUTTERS TO ALL FOURS! Kiana up quick but legs a-quiver--tell-tale signs of a shot fighter as Tom goes to a medium-strength left hook. Keek wipes her gloves on ref’s shirt, comes out flat-eyed and GIRLS TRADE LANKY midring! Hilly gets caught a right on the chops! Kiki gets caught a right on her eye! Both girls sop up clouting hooks! Hilly eats another right, stagger-stepping on the spot. Keek reloads, leans into her right hand and HAMMERS Burton upside the head, flattening blonde’s right ear to her shoulder and HILARIE WOBBLES TO ALL FOURS! Kiana LIFTS A BOOT INTO HILARIE’S RIBS! Tom snarling, indulging in maybe the cheapest foul ever recorded in an FCBA ring--Hilarie rolling to her back, hugging herself and moaning as ref pushes Kiana back for the STERNBEST of all scoldings. Fishel up out of her seat ringsider and screaming in protest, banging both hand on the apron until officials sit her back down.; Burton given time to recover as Kiki stalks and preens in the neutral corner. Upon resumption--Burton has the cooler head, using her height again, forcing Kiana to dare the jab--Tom taking a lovely poke on her shiny cheekbones as Hilarie jabs, jabs, scrubs a right hand off the front foot, slides back half a step while cover-jabbing. Bell: both girls chesting up and jawing as tempers flare.

R3: Kiki coming forward--Burton refusing the slugfest, just patiently fading back, chip-chip-chipping away her jab, scrubbing rangy one-twos against Tom’s beautiful, but fragile face. Kiana never much for head movement really getting scuffed up--she’s trying to strafe Hilly right hands, but keeps coming up short or getting pre-empted. Burton turning at the ropes, luring Kiana forward--who’s the veteran fighter here? Tom outboxed, shiny and sullen at the bell--Hilarie lifts her mitts and grins into her corner a happy little vixen. AND KIANA PUNCHES HILARIE IN THE EYE! From off Burton’s right shoulder, Tom swinging a cheap right hand to Hilly’s left eye, stunning the blonde--she turns away and cowers face first in the ropes as the ref pushes Kiana back, issuing a torrent of heartfelt warnings as To stalks angrily to her corner.

R4: Burton fighting angry--it’s a mistake. Hilly leaning forward, trying to lean into right hands, trading baseline strokes with the old master--Tom in a nicer rhythm, just lifting her left off her hip to measure, drifting in with the lanky right hand--doesn’t take long before Burton starts to unravel. Too late--Hilly wide-eyed, knock-kneed, recognizes her mistake and tries to move away--Tom stepping-with and pounding right hands to the ear/back of the head as Burton turns away. HILARIE GOES DOWN! Burton bludgeoned to all fours, face-first at the ropes--Kiana cruising past with a snarl, hooks Burton’s wrist with the right foot and sprawls the blonde to all fours as boos cascade down. Hilarie up at 8, but reeling, seriously hurt now--Kiki able to wade back in, knuckle up blonde shoulders and really go to work. Tom set in wide stance, coaxing whippy leverage from her wiry frame--still plenty of pop when she can plant her feet, shift her hips and swing through her motion. Burton grunting, hurt--she’s doubled over, dukes at temples, sopping it up as Kiki pours it on, Hilly wilting to one knee…but Kiana reaches under her arms, stacks her upright and drifts a cheap right hand across Hilarie’s mouth. BOOOOOO! Kiana bracing with her left and really leaning into Burton now--Keek’s back foot coming up off the canvas as she drives right hands mercilessly across Hilarie’s staring, bleak face. Hilarie out on her feet, wants to go down: Tom not allowing it, stacking Burton up and savaging her to the bell AND BEYOND! Tom lay8ing it on thick until ref pulls her off--Burton all busted up, wandering in stupor--she’s guided back to her stool. Advised by her trainer to thrown in the towel and HILLY REFUSES! Burton getting her wits back, refuses to quit--she’s coming out for the fifth!

R5: Jab/right hand bangs off Burton’s high guard--it’s enough to rock blonde back on her heels as legs are shot. Keek comes back underneath with the swinging hook--crowd groaning in unison as that errant punch digs into Burton’s crotch with thick,. Meaty contact. Burton’s lips parted, moist--she groans forward, shudders as Kiana fits another cranking hook in behind blonde’s right elbow--then Tom’s bundling Hilarie up, walking her into the ropes. Kiki working rhythmically now--her opponent’s a tottering wreck, just a matter of applying the finishing touch and OH, the touches Kiana finishes with. Burton swaying, staring, no loner competitive--Kiana bracing her blonde with one hand while ploughing her cruel business mitt--shifting weight from one foot to the other, switching her hips into the motions. Burton’s head snapping to-and-fro, but every time her legs give way--Kiana reaches under Burton’s arms, stacks her into the ropes and lays on her until Burton can stand on her own. Ref taking a close look--every time he looks ready to stop it, ol’ cougar Kiana clinches, Burton sleepy, waving punches or simply covering up and suffering--she’s being stacked and battered as brutally as we’ve seen all year. Dani forcibly restrained atr ringside as she’s screaming at Kiana to stop--Tom’s eyes absolutely pitiless: like a Siamese cat playing with a wounded robin in there. Goes on and on and on--Keek’s trim frame struggling to continue to prop up Hilly’s deadweight, then slug heavily into it--not for the faint of heart as dreadful beating is allowed to proceed AWAY past the point of good sense. Finally, Burton slides off Kiana’s left shoulder and crashes face-down into the canvas--beaten unrecognizable. Tom steps across the fallen blonde’s back to straddle, then plants a conqueror’s foot between Hilarie’s shoulder blades, leering down hands-on-hips at the battered ingénue. KO5 in heartless fashion, Kiana Tom.

After: Burton takes to hospital, savagely treated by Kiana tonight--real test of character to see if Hills can come back from something like this. Postfight scenes total bedlam--Dani rushing the stage, held back by officials--Kiana screeching and taunting, exulting in what she was able to do to TE tonight--she’s also straining against officials to get at Fishel. “If Dani Fishel wants some of what Hilarie got,” Kiana tells cameras in the aftermath, “SO BE IT! I will finish that fat pig once and for all!”
