Before: Kelly Hu rejoins the lists after a long layoff...body still magnificent on the scales, but what about the rust factor? "I think it's significant," says guest commentator Dani Fishel at ringside. "Kelly's never had a big punch - she's always relied upon exact timing and supernatural reflexes to get the job done. I know she's still in tremendous shape - just look at her - but we've seen before how a woman in her 40s can get hard - I'm thinking of Demi here - but then can't hit the openings the way she used to. Having said that, Kelly's a former champ, and formerly the pound-for-pound best fighter in the FCBA...is Summer really ready to compete with someone like that? Even if that someone is 41 years old? That's what we're all here to find out!"

 

Summer in green bikini with sporty bottoms; long, loose curls; black gloves. Kelly in black bra-style bikini top/yellow bottoms; black gloves; hair loose.

During R1: Hu eyes narrowed, hopping out in her familiar closed stance: left shoulder pointed at Sum; left across the tummy/right at the chin; chin tucked behind left shoulder. Glau hopping forward with right fist balled at her cheek - left hand open, slightly lower, loose and relaxed for jabbing. Midring - Sum jabs to Kelly's left bicep/breast - Hu slides away, roams to her right. Sum turns, jabs to the arm/breast, just locating Hu...SWEEPING OVERHAND RIGHT, SUMMER GLAU! Sudden, lanky thunderbolt smites Kelly behind her ear: Hu stiffens, then JACK-KNIFES TO CANVAS! Hu nosing-in, lying eerily still on her stomach, hands stuck beneath her...Good Lord, it's OVER! KO1 - first minute - Summer Freaking Glau!

AFTER: Pandemonium. Kelly prettily asleep - completely out: attendants gently roll her to her back, start the careful work of bringing her about. Summer bewildered, but cracking a shy grin as it dawns on her she's won the biggest fight of her career. Glau incredibly gracious - insisting in postfight that she caught Kelly a "lucky punch"...but Dani's not so sure. "It's exactly what I was worried about," Fishel says during wrap up. "The Kelly Hu I used to fight would have rolled that overhand right, then come back underneath with a vicious right uppercut to put Summer in trouble. Glau was wide open for that CLASSIC Kelly Hu counter, but Kel couldn't pull the trigger. You know maybe, Kelly shakes the rust with some regular ring activity, maybe this was an aberration, but I don't know...that looked like an old fighter who just couldn't execute to me - and if that's the case - more activity's just going to get Kelly banged up. Not to mention embarrassed."
