Before: “Dani Krusher” t-shirts and caps available at all Krusher outlets--Elisha trumpeting up her signature win, never tiring of re-telling the story of how she gobbled Dani up, and Kelly’s sick to death of it. “Good against Fishel doesn’t mean squat,” says the irritated Asian. “Elisha’s in with a whole different breed of fighter this time. Think about it: Cuthbert’s highest goal, her loftiest achievement would be to beat me in the ring. My goals, just for this year, includes (ticks off points on elegant fingers): regaining the top pound for pound position; regaining the bantamweight title; giving Eliza Dushku another beating. Elisha Cuthbert doesn’t even make my list.” Elisa realizes Fishel-Hu a oretty rugged road, but explains, “I’m going to gave to earn another shot at Eliza after the way she took care of me last time--I know that. The only way to bring Eliza back to the negotiating table is by DESTROYING Kelly Hu, Personally, I don’t think Kelly’s the fighter she used to be--she is just gonna CRAP when I hit her in the body!” Kelly in gold bikini top, red bottoms, slick ponytail--Elisha in white battle bikini.

During R1: Elisha got to Dani with right hands, but against Kelly’s closed Floyd Mayweather stance, right hands just slip and slide over Hu’s left shoulder. Kelly weight on her right foot, leaning away from Elisha--Asian dragging her front foot as she slids back, slapping and chipping pesky hooks, flicking jabs, just nibbling at Elisha while drawing her in. At the ropes, Hu with a deft pivot and turn, sidesteps Elisha, starts luring back the other way. Cuthbert on the board late as she stops trying to tag Hu with rights to the head and starts hooking her chest and body--Janet nodding at the bell: she wants more breadbasket.

R2: Similar looking stuff. Hu pointing her left shoulder at Cuthbert, giving ground in good order, smacking and swatting a loose-limbed left, drilling the jab, just walking Cuthbert into punishment. Elisha able to close and body up, but Hu pretty nifty inside--twisting her shoulders side to side, picking Cuthbert’s chin up right uppercuts and chopping little hooks--Elisha clubbing back but never connecting flush against slinky Asian D. Down the stretch, Cuthbert gets loud hooks along Hu’s golden waistline--Asian stepping out and circling with a flat glare as those punches meant something.

R3: Kelly drawing Cuthbert forward, painting her the jab, turning on screened straight right hands, falling away to pick her up the rising left hand--Cuthbert really getting tagged, put wobbly butt after a consistent minute of accurate Hu punching. Second minute--Kelly starts standing her ground more, leaning forward to get temple to temple with blondie and in close confines--Kelly Hu cuts poor Elisha Cuthbert to ribbons! Merciless, short, powerful strokes, Kelly tagging Elisha’s chin, temples and cheeks with clipping hooks, tidy right uppercuts, chopping overhand rights, Hu bending and twisting on the inside, maddeningly elusive even through she’s right there--Elisha’s fists bounce harmlessly off shoulders or upper backs as she walks into the shredder. Accumulation of searing blows has Cuthbert stumbling--nice little sidestep and push sprawls the blonde to all fours--Janet screaming in protest from the corner as ref calls it a knockdown. Cuthbert anxious to keep fighting, but her eyes are glassy, hands low--after 8, she’s caught a charging right hand on the mouth before she even knows what’s happening. TEARING Hu closing assault--slashing lefts and rights--Kelly’s teeth bared, staring blonde face and THE ~REF STEPS IN! Cuthbert cuddled to safety out on her feet--Kelly Hu snarling, stomping away, raising her mitts in triumph. TKO3 Kelly Hu.

After: Elisha battered senseless by a patented Kelly Hu flurry--Cinderella Kid meets the wicked stepmother big time in this one. Hu back to her old fearsome self--very efficient, breaking Elisha down and drawing her in, getting her hurt with consistent accuracy, then pouring it on to panic the ref. Hu also very effective on the inside--something she only ever is when she’s focused and hungry--she got right in Elisha’s grill and took the blonde apart with no mercy in this one. Postfight mill: Kelly takes a navy blue “Dani Krusher” T-shirt and rips it apart with lips curled back in a happy snarl--she enjoyed taking Cuthbert down a peg tonight.
