Before: Disgraced former Pack member Hannigan looks to balance the books—beating up on the A-List is a good place to start. “Fighting Kristin Kreuk wasn’t exactly my finest hours,” says chagrined veteran in prefight. “That wasn’t me at all—I just sort of gave it up to her and I’m ashamed of how it all played out. That’s never happening again. I’ve got an opportunity for redemption against Bosworth and I’m definitely going to take it. She’s a better fighter than Kris Kreuk on her best day, so this will go a long way to erasing that result.” Bosworth basking in her “Natalie-Thrasher” rep these days, looking pretty predatory with this challenge. “It’s sort of nice being able to fight Alyson without all the Wolfpack drama to worry about,” Kate admits. “Hannigan’s always been a class act, and she never needed all that stuff. Am I kicking her while she’s down? I don’t think so. I expect Aly to bounce back and offer stubborn resistance, She’s going to be looking to bounce back big from that Kreuk defeat, and I don’t want to be that girl for her-- I’ll be sharp and add to her disappointment if I can.”

During R1: Kate wiry, lunging in and out with stitching jabs to Alyson’s body—then straight right hands PAK! to the midsection. Hannigan turning, grump early, late of receipts. Middle minute—Kate changes up—stepping in like she’s going downstairs, but lashing an overhand right to Alyson’s temple instead. Hannigan rocked—stumbling about, showing earmuff—she’s in disarray—hurt and wobbling. Kate switches stance: right at her cheek, left across her gut, left shoulder pointed at Alyson—Bos spends rest of the round going after Alyson with licking hooks/buggywhip right hands, head and body. Shutout with power—Kate B.

R2: Same again. Bosworth attacking Alyson’s midsection with stitching jabs/steering right hands—smacking away at beef, then bounding back out of range. As Hannigan grows body-conscious—Kate starts to loop shots up top, catching Hanni about her eyes, temples and hairline; redhead sent stumbling around as wiry blonde lands with vigour. Final  minute clean up features Bosworth in the closed stance, edging in closer to work with multiple, short-swiping hooks to Hannigan’s head and body. Through 2, Alyson  yet to land a meaningful punch—she’s cut at the hairline and looking frazzled.

R3: Kate springy, lithe stitching in and out at will. Hannigan grunting, cranky—giving up stabbing touches to her tummy, but reacting late: run and gun offence of blonde giving redhead all sorts of trouble. When Aly’s hands creep down to protect her tummy—Kate scrapes jabs to face, working over Alyson’s tender brows and hairline/. Where the jab leads, right hands follow—Kate stepping into some slashing, lariat-style roundhouses to really belt Alyson’s face aide. Shutout Bosworth: Alysin lumping up nicely.

R4: Kate continuing to attack—Alyson blocking sullen, frowning as Bosworth punches jabs/single right hands to stubborn tummy. Kate in, out, and around—very springy and lithe: deeply discouraging to Alyson to be under constant threat with no real answers. Hannigan able to connect on hooks late—cuffing Bosworth as she’s withdrawing: still blonde’s round by wide margin.

R5: Body shots set up a sweeping lariat right hand on the button—Hannigan jerked a quarter-turn to her right, dropped to all fours as Kate bends into the shot. Bosworth jogging to neutral corner all grins: Hannigan up wonky at 8, eyes glazing. Katie in with hooks from the closed stance—gnawing ion Hannigan’s ribcage and hip, then biting to her jaw—blonde lashing the hooks in with plenty of hip and back driving the shots. Hannigan crossing her arms, butt in ropes as she stoops forward, windblown: redhead busting up badly now, lips parted as she accepts punishment. Long, lathering beating administered: only Hannigan’s sturdy legs holding her up as Bosworth banks a one-sided shutout.

R6: Hannigan grunting at spearing right to her tummy—she’s stopped and vulnerable for the follow on lariat right hand upside the head and ALYSON GOES DOWN! Aly hacked across her left cheek—she jackknifes straight down into canvas, sprawling on her tummy, rolling to her back—she looks a KO’d beauty, but manages to scramble up at 9. Kate looking things over prettily, decides to go all in: slender limbed blonde squares away, lathes lefts and rights as poor Hannigan slumps into ropes, Aly stunned—right hand under her chin, left across her gut—she’s just facing into punches—small mitts bouncing off lolling head, lathering her senseless.  Withering pasting goes on and on—Hannigan sputtering, then finally pitching forward to swoon face-first at Kate’s feet. Hannigan battered, pale-backed deadweight as she relaxes into submission, KO6 in shellacking fashion, Kate Bosworth.

After: Hannigan a long time coming around—she absorbs one of the worst beatings of her career in the heels of her worst humiliation—pundits openly questioning how much more Alyson has to give at this point. Jubilation in the Bosworth corner—near flawless victory a showcase for Kate’s switchblade quicks and wiry fury—she’s virtually untouched tonight in taking apart a once-feared` redhead.
