Before: "I definitely think Rachel's been running scared," Eliza declares in prefight. "I fought her to a draw - in the middle of her title run - and that scared the crap out of her people. I know they've been advising her against a rematch, but there's not that much room to manoeuvre in this division: sooner or later, you have to test against the Sheriff. Now, about Neve: it's true, I'm bringing her into camp for this fight. I know a lot of folks think she's training camp poison, but I'm willing to risk it for her Rachel-busting expertise. For too long, Rachel's had Campbell isolated and penned up: I'm opening a second front on MacAdams - let's see how she likes it for a change." Rachel glaring at Neve seated in the HISC guest section - real effort of will to keep the focus on Eliza. "Dushku still thinks of herself as the queen of the hill at 120," Rachel says at the podium. "That hasn't been true for some time. She likes to think of people hiding from her or ducking her: nowadays, it's more like fighters are seeking her out as a useful stepping stone. For what it's worth, I did want to fight an immediate rematch with Eliza after our draw, but it wasn't my call. This fight is though, and I plan to make Eliza regret it." Dushku in red leather bikini; small red work out gloves; low ponytail with curls framing face. Rachel in midnight blue velvet bra and panties, white lace trim; small white workout gloves; auburn hair.

During R1: Eliza features the jab - quick-stepping left around her poke, making Rachel move her feet early. MacAdams dukes up, parrying Dushku's jab on either glove, punching her own jab to Eliza's chest. Dushku brisk n' feisty with punches in combination - straight, stamping right; straight left - bringing the mitts back quick and sidestepping after. Rache blocking, turning - getting outworked here as she's circling, guaging Eliza's strength in tactical first.

R2: Eliza continues to jab-and-go - showing respect for MacAdam's freakish sturdiness. Rachel turning, hopping over to cut off the ring, stamping her jab to middle of Eliza's chest. Dushku venturing inside more often: rousing trade results as girls hunker down, get off snappy in tight. Both vixens masters at rolling shots, or turning to take blows on shoulders or blocking them while staying in position to answer back. Dushku takes a close heat on the strength of a gouging left uppercut to Rachel's middle and a sharp right/left swiping combination that scores to MacAdams' temples.

R3: Eliza continues to get off first - peppering Rachel with jabs while rotating clockwise: Dushku getting touches, navigating and negotiating, curving in when it suits her. HOT tossing when girls get shoulder to shoulder: both basically made their living as champs on the inside - both looking to establish dominance in the phone booth. Eliza playing it wary - she'll trade, but she won't linger - she's disengaging to circle - constantly looking to curve in from an angle and re-initiate. Rachel banging a big hook to Dushku's midsection and flank - but Eliza's ring generalship moving Mac around, and Dushku combinations are ringing Rache up for points through 3.

R4: Outside, Eliza's shooting straight, stamping rights and lefts off her front (left) foot: sacrificing power for quickness, and bringing those mitts back fast. Inside, Dushku edging her left shoulder into Rachel - Eliza keeping right hand near her chin, left across her body - dipping to either side, rolling shots, and answering back with brisk snap, head and body. Rachel mirroring Eliza's stance inside, hooking Dushku's midsection, chopping right hands. Eliza the first to burst on offending bra - buffetting Rachel's jugs a flashy side to side shoeshine to get crowd hooting. Dushku mixing in a short, jagged left uppercut to chin, then doubling down to Rachel's body: that's a Neve Campbell combo.

R5: Eliza doing less circling - getting shoulder to shoulder with Rachel ASAP, doing business, disengaging, then getting right back in there. Mac turning, scowling: she's taking Eliza's punch very well, but Dushku's throwing a lot more volume than usual. Eliza busting out sudden 6 and 7 punch combinations, clubbing Rachel's head and body as Mac twists and rolls - some blows landing, others not, but Eliza really pasting Rachel regardless. Mac relying on heft: she's got the jab in Eliza's chest, the hook in Eliza's waist - she's working on a short right hand inside that Dushku's doing a good job of rolling thus far.

R6: Snappy, tart tic-tac-toe back and forth as girls engage all around the ring. Furious activity when they get close - girls twisting, tattooing each other compact 6 inch little clouts as they bang away in turns. Eliza with successful flurries to Rachel's jugs has Mac on her heels at times - little gusty shoeshines scrubbing back and forth clearly disrupting Rachel. Mac catching some very clean shots - hard right hands upside her head, licking left uppercuts - but showing no sign of wobble as she faces into it. Dushku taking Rachel's hook without complaint, but Eliza wisely stepping out rather than letting Mac work away with it in succession.

R7: Surprising for some to see Eliza dominating Rachel outside: Mac generally covering up earmuff, leaning into the shots as Dushku triggers tart lead rights, straight lefts, double jabs while circling. Eliza edging in, digging to Rachel's midsection with rotating shoulders propelling workmanlike lefts and rights to paunch: Rache absorbing, then answering in kind. Midway through - Rachel comes off the body hooking, catching Eliza's chin flush: Dushku's legs give a shimmy - she immediately cuddles up head-and-arm for a break. More clinching for Dushku as Rachel walks Eliza down, sensing hurt: Dushku willing to retreat and go defensive rather than allow Rachel the chance to pile on.

R8: Rachel starting to coming forward with a little authority. Jab in Eliza's chest starting to dictate where she can go, backing her up. Rachel turning on hard right hands just before she steps in: she's finally landing it when SHE'S the one making the first move inside rather than Eliza initiating. Dushku's back touches ropes for the first time: she's organized, baring her teeth, covering up and stooping forward, blocking a lot of shots on her elbows, but spending more time directly in front of Rachel. Mac making the most of quality time with Eliza on the apron - pushing E in her shoulders, bumping her that left shoulder in the chest; working her body rolling right/lefts hefty to paunch. More clinches from grimacing Dushku as she pulls Rachel close, mouth open on MacAdams' shoulder.

R9: Spirited stuff. Rachel opening up, eating right hands to the jaw as she comes forward, intent on imposing will inside. Brutal, compact exchanges as girls stoop forward and work each other's torsos. Ripping shots gouge up into tensed sternums. Vicious hooks chop in behind right elbows; hardhearted right hands hack in above left hips. Eliza's shrugging tight left uppercuts, taking Rachel in the tits, lifting her up out of her crouch where hooks and crosses can clout her mouth. MacAdams is doubling up her hook to Eliza's midsection, beating the breath from Dushku. Difference in the round: Eliza clipping a tight left uppercut picks up Rachel's face: Mac's knees buckle, buttocks give a wobble - Rache quick to reach round Eliza's back and hold on for the break.

R10: Back at it: hard, hard work in the trenches. Eliza torquing that left uppercut to Rachel's teeth, picking her up vicious - Mac's face all puffy and drowsy as she eats it. Both chop rights to temples - but Eliza mops up the hook as well, falling into Rache with the shoulder, bodying her to ropes. Torrid, yet methodical work as Mac answers off the ropes - Eliza shuddering under thumping body blows, then answering in kind.

Right uppercut nips Rachel's chin.

Left uppercut nips Rachel's chin.

Rachel's legs tremble - eyes suddenly glassy: she slides to her right with a vacant expression. Eliza jabs Rache to the corner, jabs the left eye and RIFLES in the right cross clean to chin. RACHEL'S DROOPING! Rache windblown, slouching dreamy against turnbuckles - hands stacked right atop left at her tummy: she's helpless. ELIZA'S BATTERING RACHEL! Dushku all in, pouring it to Rachel - fists bouncing off Mac's face, belting her stoopid as curvy legs hold MacAdams up. Bell: Eliza snarling, keeps pounding at what's left - ref has to body her off. Comes back UD10, Eliza Dushku.

After: Mac stunned, bloodied - staggering back to her corner out on her feet: iron will carried her the distance as she spent a good 15 seconds at Eliza's mercy to finish a brutal contest. Neve ringside clapping, eyes fierce: how many times has Rachel watched Campbell catch the same kind of punishment from a Mack, or a Cuthbert or a Fishel? Extra salt in Rachel's wounds: Dushku giving Neve a hug in postfight mill - Campbell earning every penny of her consulting fee tonight. Dushku puffy and punished, but looking fearsome for the cameras. "You guys wrote me off, didn't you?" Eliza teases her interviewer. "Sheriff's back in town boys. If that ain't justice on Rachel's face and ribcage, I don't know what is!"
