She has fought some of the more difficult opposition that includes, Jennifer Han, Kimberly Connor, Mary Ortega,  Katy and Emily Klinefelter, Eva Jones-Young, Vanessa Juarez, and the list goes on.  In her fight against Breitenstein, our insider told WBAN, "Kerri dominated the entire fight landing her jab consistently and big right hooks as often as she could. Jackie seemed very timid after getting tagged in the first round by Hill and decided to run around the ring instead of engaging in any kind of fight throughout the four rounds. Congratulations to Kerri Hill who has fought the best of the best in their hometowns, but is seeming to come into her prime this year going 2-1-1 in her last four fights."  Other boxing action: Sarah Kuhn, 139, won a 10-round unanimous decision over Lisa Garland, 139.5.
