KO4 Banks

Moments into the first round, Tyra got shocked a clouting right hand from solid Lawless and clattered hurt to the ropes. It would be a harbinger for things to come as these big women would load up, step into each other with blockbuster punching in almost every minute of this brief, violent affair.

Lawless did it with straightforward pressure, wading in close, getting her body behind short, powerful strokes and moving Tyra with almost every haymaker. Banks was more elegant, looking to circle, setting up her long right hands with heavy jabs off her thigh. Each round was a dangerous, stalking affair - each engagement a sullen, probing affair punctuated by a single stunning powershot and rubbery-legged collapse. Tyra looked down as she finished up shabby in the first. Lawless seemed ruined as she lolled incoherently on the ropes in the second, soaking up Banks' long bombs on her jaw, staring back lifelessly into the next wallop. Both girls reeled on trembling stems in the third, staggering each other down, trying to find chin with that final punch.

In the end, Banks' boxing, such as it was, proved the difference. She had Lawless chewing jabs, busting up, walking into punches and by the fourth it was too much. At the second minute mark, Banks jabbed at Lucy's eyes and leaned into a whistling right hand that swivelled Lawless' head and shook her to the core. Lucy crumpled forward, then sprawled back to lie senseless under the lights - as picture perfect a KO as we are likely to see.
