Before: Dangerous fight for Dushku: she's candid about it in prefight. "Look, I'm 5'5", a buck-fiften," Eliza says. "I've optimized my body to take on Evangeline Lilly and win - I'm not going to mess with that for Munn. But Olivia's big, she's got a lightweight punch - I know I'm coming in small for her, but I have to keep the big picture in mind. After Olivia, I'm still in the Lilly-hunting business, so the challenge is: can I handle the rest of the division while I wait for Evangeline to fall into place? That's what I'm going to find out."
Munn all sunglasses and attitude - she's gotten this far with irreverence, so why change now? "She's trained for the wrong chick," Olivia shrugs. "I'm gonna punch right through this girl. Yeah, I've heard from TU trainers how 'lethal' Eliza is - she's had them spooked for years - but I'm a whole different breed of cat. She's all tooled up to fight the best fighters of her own generation: I don't see anything in her game that can hurt a next-gen bantam like me. If you guys haven't figured it out yet...I'm all that, then just a wee bit more!"

During R1: Eliza roaming to her left, triggering stiff single left jabs body, head. Munn hands up, batting at poke, stalking. Eliza changes direction - moves to her right - slants in with a ringing right hand to Olivia's middle PAK! First minute all Eliza: second minute - Munn forces battle with swinging right/left roundhouses - deliberately challenging Dushku's svelte, toned chassis. Eliza grimacing, covering up: Munn gradually takes the intiative away in the second minute as Dushku stops punching. Down the stretch - fat left hand takes Dushku to paunch; sweeping overhand right bashes her to temple...DUSHKU'S HURT! Crowd screaming as Eliza stumbles ashen-faced to her right, tilting as though going down. Dushku hits ropes ramshackle, slumping into 'em for support: Olivia able to step-to and enjoy herself over the final few seconds, swinging robusto to Dushku's beleaguered flanks at bell. Eliza glassy-eyed, blinking in shock: Munn all smirking badass back to her corner.
R2: Munn brazen, walking Dushku down. Eliza shows good conditioning - recovering fully during the break: she gets on her toes, showing Munn a varied trick-bag of techniques. Frequent direction changes test Munn's footwork: Olivia likes to be set to punch - Eliza's messing with that. Stiff, jolting jabs punching to belly, breasts and chin - Eliza pre-empting Olivia, starting to tax those legs a bit. Sudden, step-in lead right hands - E gambling, punching hard to the right side of Olivia's jaw, then scampering away. Munn put wobbly butt in spots as Eliza commits on right hand power, but Dushku won't risk sustained operations inside Munn's wheelhouse. Leads to pleasing cat and mouse - Dushku scoring some strong shots, but Olivia able to ride them out and continue forward.
R3: Similar stuff - Munn's output reduced to a trickle by Dushku's fleet footwork and precision punching. When Olivia lands, it's always hard and loud - big, robust roundhouses against Eliza's flanks or shoulders. Dushku stepping away, circling - constantly re-initiating: Sheriff establishing near total tactical dominance of the ring as she curves in/disengages almost at will. BELL: Nice little glance-back over the shoulder from Eliza as she checks Olivia out: Sheriff visibly contemptuous of her foe through 3.
R4: Dushku stoops, reaches left jab to tummy, scoots away: disgruntled Munn scowling, following with impatient hops. Minute mark sees a brief exchange of lefts and rights as Eliza's trying to avoid being cornered: Munn absorbing a pair of crisp right hands on her mouth in exchange for clubbing blows against either Dushku temple. Eliza steps to her right...then staggers...she's wobbly butt! Munn quickly at Eliza with a lunging tackle - bodying Dushku heavily to ropes - throwing a brawny right shoulder into Eliza's jaw. Olivia able to tuck two right hands deep to paunch as Dushku's trying to right herself: former champ groans forward, looking to clinch. Olivia won't have it: she reaches under Eliza's arms, chests Dushku to ropes, then plows right hands to body while atop her girl: Sheriff grimacing, writhing beneath her tormentress as Olivia gets big. Again Munn reaches in, bodies Eliza to ropes: again she pounds at her. Nothing fancy, but it's brutally effective as Dushku's looking groggy. Constant press of tummy/chest, then bludgeoning haymakers...Eliza ragdolled, pressed again and again to ropes, then battered. Dushku's defences simply wrestled or cudgelled out of the way: snarling Munn able to pound away skull and ribcage with lusty, brawling swings. ELIZA'S LIMP! Dushku sagging in Olivia's arms, no longer struggling as she's thrown repeatedly into ropes to be savaged. THE REF STEPS IN! Good Lord - TKO4 Olivia Freakin' Munn!
After: NO! Eliza stopped at the ropes, beaten senseless by rude, raw, insolent power. Munn strutting the ring large, pounding her chest, hugging her trainer: it's by far her most impressive upset to date.
"IS THERE NO ONE ELSE?" Munn crows in postfight, feeling the moment. "Who's going to give me a fight? Eliza tried to finesse me...I beat her head in! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout - girls getting their asses WAXED!
