Swing for the Fences
Synopsis
Kelly heads to the gym, where she tries to blow off some steam, but runs into Keisha - a fighter who Kelly knows is much better than her and who seems to have her life much more together. Jealous and angry, she picks a fight, looking for any excuse to blow up at Keisha. When Kelly accuses Keisha of stealing her bag, a fight is set up in the ring, marshalled by trainer Warren, who lays down the rules.
Kelly learns a lesson in the ring, allowing her to reflect on herself and her situation at home.
