BEFORE: High quality match up - golden opportunity for Park to gun down an FCBA hall of famer. "Eliza's one of the greats," Grace says in prefight. "She's vulnerable - there are areas I can exploit on her - but overall she's probably the best fighter I've faced, and I'm looking forward to grinding her down." Dushku taking the threat seriously...HISC with a pretty good database on Ms. Park from her formative days. "Grace isn't the fighter we turfed," Eliza says off hand, managing to compliment Grace and slap her face in the same sentence. "We've all seen her when she gets in her groove and starts lathering girls - I can't let her find that rhythm. I can't match her work rate, so I won't even try; it's all about keeping Park off balance - getting good touches, and looking to break down that fragile body of hers." Grace in blue/yellow tie-dye style bikini; white gloves; hair wet. Eliza in red leather bikini; yellow gloves; hair in ponytail with ringlets framing face.

During R1,2: Well-executed hit and run, probing attacks from Eliza - she's circling clockwise at speed, coming in off feints to reach jabs into Grace's tummy; hooking her jaw from there. Park unhurt, but not comfortable turning-and-chasing...Grace reduced to reacting with single-shot swat...not her forte.

R3: Grace revving it up - leading the right hand straight; looping the left hook wide; looping a wide right to Eliza's ribs; slicing up the middle via the left uppercut...Eliza's getting nicked. Dushku in the pocket - rolling and parrying shots, then snatching back: price of Park's volume is giving Eliza good looks at that long, slender ribcage. Down the stretch - Park leans in to nudge with her left shoulder while deploying a lapping right/left underneath: Eliza wincing in pain, doubling over hurt. Park pushing off with chickenwing left elbow, then bending to lash a wicked right hand THUMP across Eliza's lower back: crowd groaning at the sound of the shot as Dushku's legs very nearly give way at the bell.

R4: Dushku hopping to her left, turning Grace...Eliza managing a tricky circus punch with the right hand - whirling out of the hop to Grace's left ear, punching Park off balance. Cue revenge: Eliza cutting into Park's midsection left/right/left - really sinking in those hooks to light brown midriff. Park grimacing with hurt, pressing elbows to ribs, keeping mitts at cheeks...she's crippled. Dushku viciously, but methodically at Grace - Eliza with dukes collected under chin as her set position - lashing either hand to Grace's svelte flanks, bringing the mitt back quick. Grace a rickety-legged wreck, staggering around the ring under Eliza's lash...by the final minutes, it's all too much, forcing Park to her haunches, eyes shut tight as she hugs her ribs, lips quivering. Park beats the count, tears-of-pain pushing down her cheeks: heartless Eliza looking things over at the bell.

R5: Park catches Dushku with a rare counterpunch - the rangy right uppercut off the right leg...Dushku's put wobbly butt, thrown over to defence. Eliza rickety around the ring, hunted by Grace...Park hopping, loping in cautious pursuit, not wanting to give Eliza any opportunities. Rangy lather applied to Dushku's flanks and front - Grace stroking away sinewy until Eliza snatches back hooks or looping right hands. Dushku hurt, but dangerous...she's able to fend off Park's attacks, survive the round on trembling legs.

R6: Park at Dushku with increased aggression - swarming with bandy-armed lefts and rights, then leaning in with the left shoulder inside Dushku's left shoulder to deploy right/left lapping whacks downstairs. DUSHKU'S HURT! Eliza desperately hurt from these committed body-blows...crippled Dushku wobbling away, face distressed as Park walks her down jabbing. Grace at Eliza all around the ring - Park just hounding Dushku, raking her punches, then leaning in close with that shoulder to really thunder away downstairs. Eliza visibly wearing down, trying to trade canvas for time, but it's not working: Park closing, getting atop Eliza and really pouring in lanky. DOWN GOES DUSHKU! Steady sheets of sinewy Grace Park punching enough to put Dushku on all fours: Grace seething, hands on hips as she glares down...she's just given Dushku one of the worst rounds of her entire career.

R7,8: Crafty Eliza playing it safe - circular movement, plenty of feints and pesky body jabs to keep Grace flinching: sudden flurrying squalls with both hands and prompt withdrawals keeping Grace on her heels. Park unhurt, but losing minutes, and her face is gettiing puffy from the determined touch of Eliza's combinations.

R9,10: Reversal of fortune - Park continuing to walk Eliza down - touching her the long jab - probing her the lead right hand, then going to town with lashing, whirling rangy-limbed lather. Dushku bobbing/blocking, but getting strafed - Gracy just sweeping punches back and forth across Eliza, or leaning in close with the shoulder to really lick 'em in hard underneath. Bell: girls busting up, hands-on-hips with fatigue...comes back UD10 DRAW - both girls immediately nodding to respective corners to indicate acceptance of tie-break.

First girl to win two rounds consecutive; score an unanswered knockdown, or knockout, wins the fight.

R11: Park finding Eliza with the jab; leaning into her with the wide right hand; rip-digging at her sternum via snatching left uppercut, then rip-digging a snatching right uppercut in there for good measure. Eliza ashen-faced, stumbling away glassy-eyed: Park's done hellish damage downstairs all night, and pounds the 11th out of Dushku's midsection/ribs as well.

R12: Dushku using her feet, changing directions, feinting Grace, wrong-footing her. Eliza jabbing-tummy off her feints - or selling tummy-jab to get the quick hook up top instead. Clever bait-and-switch punching from Eliza keeps Grace on her heels...Dushku gathering touches upstairs and down to even up the cards.

R13: Same again - Dushku roaming outside - using feints and looping right hands to make Grace tentative - scoring jabs to the body/hooks to the jaw in potshot fashion. All about the footwork - she's touching, moving, baiting and switching...Grace runs out of time as Dushku makes it work. UD13 Eliza Dushku.

After: No hard feelings - puffy-eyed battlers hug and congratulate each other in the aftermath of a blistering struggle...hall of famer pushed to her limit tonight, but pulling it out in overtime. "It is no fun being in Grace Park's wheelhouse," a wincing Dushku admits in postfight. "You make her miss twice, and she hits you with a follow up...and then starts it up all over again. The key is discipline - you can't panic and let her rout you or it's over: I just kept my head, focussed on the openings and got my touches. I'm not surprised we went long: Grace is a long hard dime for anyone."
