Before: For years the terror and pride of the flyweight division - very little left of the Teri Hatcher mystique after a long, slow decline, culminating in her humiliating one punch devastation to Theron. Teri looking to regain lost glory by facing the best in her own division, but most think Hatcher's reach exceeding her grasp in challenging Dushku. Eliza brazen as ever, looking forward to 'mopping up' whatever's left of the busty dancer - shouldn't be forgotten that Hatcher's right hand has claimed the chin of Dani Fishel and other sturdy foes in the past. Eliza D in pale blue string bikini, black shoes and gloves - Teri in red string bikini, black shoes and gloves.

During R1: Systematic, chilling efficiency from Eliza as she works in and out behind a digging hook to Teri's right side, pivoting to the left to keep the lanky brunette turning. Hatcher grunting as she covers up to take, stepping over to cut off the ring, then grunting again as Eliza helps herself - Hatcher can't get off. Easy, breezy shutout Dushku - Eliza not really setting down on punches, just concentrating on footwork and accurate hands, happy to begin the process of breaking Hatcher down.

R2: Dushku mixes in the right hand, victimizing Teri's jab with counters on the eye, stepping to the right and walking Hatcher into the come-along hook on the mouth. Eliza making it look easy - by the midway point Teri has a startled, uncertain look - Dushku able to stride in off her jab and hook jug with impunity. By the final minute - Eliza on her front foot, chin out, hands low - she's just potshotting lead rights and straight lefts into Teri's spectacular breasts, ducking or leaning away from panicky Hatcher responses - Dushku posts another smiling shutout and sends Teri mincing back to her corner in discomfort.

R3: Eliza with another classy first minute, going back to the clockwise rotation, breaking Teri down with jab, stepping in with the bodyshot hook, and pivoting sharp to her left. Midway through, Hatcher steps out, drawing Eliza in, brushes Dushku with a blinding left and NAILS a crashing right hand on jaw and ELIZA IS HURT! Dushku feeling the sub110 power stammers on jiggly legs for a moment as Teri cranks up the windmill. Hatcher lanky in and out - brushing the screening left, slinging in the hard right hand, then loping back out to time Eliza's desperate counters. Eliza sputtering across the ring, can't get her legs back and she is SAVAGED at the ropes - Hatcher on wide spread legs, leaning in and out, slamming away on the left side of Eliza's head with gorgeous right hand power licks - Dushku reeling, out of it, spilling along the ropes as Teri keeps it on her. Helpless in a corner, Dushku leans forward to cover up and Hatcher lifts a sensational left uppercut into the brunette's mouth, ragdolling Dushku with a blank look, hands down, defenceless and ANOTHER HUGE right hand crashes against Eliza's face, sending her head swivelling sickeningly and THE REF STOPS THE FIGHT! Teri Hatcher leaps away squealing in delight - Dushku in dazed protest, pushing against the man's protective arms as her senses clear - it's TKO3 Teri Hatcher!

After: Near riot ensues when Dushku comes-to - Eliza restrained by her corner from attacking the parental ref - Hatcher prancing and strutting on her half of the ring, screeching for Lucy Liu - it's the kind of upset that can shake up boxing itself. Lucy standing and clapping happily at ringside - loving the sight of a distraught Dushku, while looking forward to a much more lucrative fight with Hatcher than anticipated. Teri just doing it the way she has for years - getting tagged, looking shot, then

unleashing hell with the right hand as Dushku got careless for a just a moment.
