Before: Lucy battling complacency more than anything else these days - firmly entrenched atop the heap at flyweight, seemingly unassailable, and yet Mish Williams enters supremely confident of victory. "Lucy's ripe for the taking," chirps Mish in prefight, "I see a fat, happy fighter who hasn't looked really dominant in 2 or 3 years. The intimidation is gone: I've seen her act, more importantly, I've seen people beat her, and I know I can too." Experts split on Williams' prospects - many agree she has the ability, but most doubt she has the discipline to work the patient boxing attack that's been most successful against the champ. As for Lucy, "Mish is the best girl available at this time, which shows you how I've taken the heart out of this division. Anyone who had a chance against me has moved up rather than take their beating, leaving the Mish Williams of the world to get hammered. It's not fair, but someone's got to get polished up!" Lucy in black push up, leopard print boy cut trunks, black shoes, slick low ponytail, Mish in black push up with white lace trim, black bikini bottoms, black shoes.

During R1: Mish the aggressor early, looking for right hands over the top, followed by whistling hooks. Liu melting away, hands down, bending back on her hips, swiveling over to her left, makes the blonde miss, and midway through, makes her pay. Williams overextending with a hook as Liu leans back, Lucy comes up southpaw, swings in a slinging left counter to the solar plexus, steps in close over Michelle's right shoulder and stuffs the left uppercut to the teeth. Williams shaken up, totters back to the ropes. Liu not following up hard - she's smiling, giving up the ring as Williams shakes her head, starts coming forward again to the bell. Lucy tagging her girl hard to steal the round, all grins to her corner - Williams gets a lecture on what she did wrong.

R2: Lucy playful and loose, has her way with reflexes, whacky angles as Mish breaks down. Liu limber on the outside, hands at her sides as she roams. When she goes flat footed, hands at her stomach, she'll backhand the jab, bend low to make Mish miss, then come up with swatting power from either side. Midway through, Liu swatting wide, straight arm counters hammers Williams from one foot to the other, boxing the blonde's ears with maddening ease. Down the stretch, Liu starts jumping it in from all angles - Williams circling the wagons, covering up her face, letting leather thump into her ribs and jaw with impunity. At the bell, Lucy cuddling up close, walks around her girl while trailing the left mitt saucily around the belly - Williams shoves her way clear - ref gets involved as Liu struts away with the shutout.

R3: Mish lumping up, coming forward with gloves at her cheeks - she's just trying to touch Liu in the stomach with straight right hands, trying to get something going. Lucy cuffing the ear with counter hooks every time blonde right ventures out, Liu sliding back, getting low, pivoting around her girl, coming out of crouches with vicious uppercuts from the knees. Williams scorched again at the midway point as Liu leaps out of her shoes to clang home the lead left uppercut - Mish doing well to keep her feet as Lucy's all dialed in.

R4,5: Liu romping, all power potshots, leaping in and out circus stuff - no jab, no proper footwork as she shows total disdain for Williams. Mish settling in behind her guard, starting to work to her left, gets the jab going this round, still touching Liu in the body with lead rights, trying to turn over the hook up top. Blonde establishing some things, but she's clearly out boxed these rounds as Liu gallops to a 5-0 lead on the cards.

R6: Mish continues to fade back behind her jab, drawing Liu forward, and Lucy starts to overextend on leaping, looping punches. Williams firm with the stick, actually disrupts a Liu uppercut with a pre-emptive thump on the face - Lucy impatient to finish, starting to get nickled and dimed as the blonde picks her up. Second minute, Liu coming forward - Mish doubles up the jab, pokes a lead right hand to the chin and turns over a crashing wide hook on the chops that has Lucy staggered! Liu stepping in fence post holes, arms extended to clinch - Williams steps back, brushes a wide timing hook to distract Liu then leans into a BASHING short right on the teeth! Gobsmacking punch all shoulder and back behind it, no backswing as Mish bends in with it and LIU GOES DOWN! Lucy flattened midring, limbs all spasmy and hurt - she rolls to her side and CAN'T BEAT THE COUNT! Stunning KO6 Mish Williams!

After: PANDEMONIUM! Williams hoisted high as Liu is carefully raised to her stool, eyes checked, neck rubbed - upset of the year recorded as Williams lands two sensational haymakers to end this conflict. Mish hopping with glee, but she's not done - against her handler's advice, she struts the ring, hauls a stunned and woozy ex-champ off her stool and carts Lucy around for a heartless walk of shame. Liu lolling in William's strong right arm, feet shuffling - crowd roaring in approval as Mish beams, waves. "This is the only way I wanted to win these belts," crows Mish, "knocking out Lucy Liu and prying them away from the Krusher's greedy clutches. The long dark reign of terror is over! Lucy's done!"
