Before: "People are way too worried that Summer's not ready for Eliza yet," special commentator Elisha Cuthbert says at ringside. "That's bogus: I put Dushku on her ass right out of the chute, and I think Summer can too. Experienced, ring-savvy vets always get beat by Dushku - you can't outfox her. But you get a young go-getter who won't back down, and who punches in buckets - and Eliza will wilt, let me tell you. If Summer ignores her trainers, follows my example and just lets her hands go - she'll kick a little glute in this fight!" Summer in black sports bra, black stretch-cotton, boy-cut trunks; white gloves. Eliza in red leather bikini with brass ring connections at hip and jug; black gloves.

 

During R1: Dushku energetic early - spitting jabs, then edging away, then stepping to her left, reversing, stepping to her right. HARD right hand Dushku at the minute mark - sweat flying off Sum's head: Glau covers up hurt, shudders under the touch of a pair of thick-thumping Dushku hooks to body. Sheriff keeps up pace: jabbing Summer while sidestepping her, attacking from angles: once she's in, Eliza pouring in 3 punch combos with nasty, short churning action. Glau proving durable: rocked early, she keeps herself together, stays covered up, turns into the attacks and makes it to the bell sturdy. Dushku walking briskly to her corner, very businesslike in her bikini: that's a must-win walk we're seeing from Eliza early.

 

R2: Piston jab from a scowling Summer: she preempts Eliza coming in, picking up the blitz nicely. Right hand from Glau - straight, short, powerful - punches back Dushku's head a minute in, buckling Sheriff's knees. Glau following up: hook to ribs, hook to ear; another ringing right hand up the middle: Dushku spills back over her heels, HURT! Glau: hopping-to; putting the jab in Eliza's chest; throwing hook/right hand combos at Dushku's head. Eliza's turn to cover up, stumble around as her foe gets off. Hard-punching Summer digging at the ribs of Dushku down the stretch, putting the thesis of a battle-weary Dushku chassis to the test.

 

R3: Pendulum swings back to Dushku. Artful stuff: Eliza spitting the jab, then inching backwards; feinting, then coming in - really messing with Summer's timing. Eliza's legs in good form - she's constantly adjusting distance, or turning Summer to curve in from angles. E showing guile - stepping to her right, away from Glau's heavy right hand. During maneuvering lulls - Dushku's stooping, jabbing Summer's body to keep her occupied. Final minute - Summer starts to pick Eliza up better: rousing exchanges result as fight finally develops two way ferocity. Slamming punches, both ways: these girls baring teeth, leaning in, and looking to hurt each other. At the bell, Dushku looks rattled - eating several more blunt right hands from Glau in expensive late exchanges.

 

R4: Eliza jabs, slides back, feints, feints, comes in right hand/left hook/right hand - chopping at Summer's face. Glau covers up, retreats: Eliza jabs tummy, slides back out of range, feints, leaps in a sudden hook, catching Sum to jaw. Glau glaring, having trouble reading Eliza's constantly changing fronts: while she's thinking it over, Sheriff jabs her tummy, sidesteps right. Midway through - Dushku feints, leads a hook: Glau takes it clean to jaw, startled as Eliza pivots-left around the shot. Swinging right hand takes Summer thick to gut; left hook digs waist; E comes off the body a left uppercut, neatly splitting a weary Glau's mitts. SUMMER'S SHOOK! Sum on her heels, blinking - Eliza bobbing forward - feints...feints...DRIVES into gut with a lunging overhand right. Explosive clap off Summer's solar plexus: she immediately cringes, hugging her body as she backpedals and ROLLS TO HER BACK! Glau grimacing, knees up, hugging her body in agony - it's OVER! KO4 in brawny fashion - Eliza Dushku.

 

After: Emotional Eliza pounding her chest, bellowing as ring fills with the usual suspects: big stand-up-and-be-counted win for a girl who's been getting a little head-office heat lately. Wolf pack helps Summer to her feet, dusting her off, taking her gloves off...then walking her to a convenient turnbuckle so Eliza can mount her. Glau still badly gutshot, blubbering as Dushku climbs aboard: Eliza with her left fist twisting in damp brown curls - right hand pointing to the ceiling. Poor Summer turning her face to the side, away from Eliza's triumphant tummy: Dushku enjoying the tension release, gives herself a good long while atop her ingenue, just to rub the lesson home. "Eliza's always responded well to challenges," Celebrity Ring will write in the coming days. "When the pack smelled weakness last year, Michelle Williams moved against Dushku in hopes of changing the status quo at HISC. The result was a wince-making beatdown administered to Williams - severe enough to crush the uprising before it ever really got going. This year, stung by her own management, and openly doubted by young Glau in public - Eliza stepped up once again to assert herself. She holds onto power, Eliza does, and she served notice to the rookie crop that she's still an apex predator in the bantamweight food chain."
