Before: Risky fight for rival stabelmates, both getting their rumps roasted against hated Krushers last time out and anxious to right respective ships. Both girls with obvious questions to answer. Can Liz return to tournament form, not just getting her legs together for a solid 10 but showing the heart and courage it took to come off the deck to win against Zeta Jones? Can Casta be a busy fighter, going against her heady, stalker/puncher style to overwhelm the best pure counter puncher in the game? Both girls swollen with confidence coming in, both convinced a devastating KO awaits the opponent.

Hurley sums it up in prefight: "If she doesn't get me early, it's going to be a long night for Laetitia. I shall have her to the body, sopping up her power like toast in gravy. When she's weakened, I'll toy with Laetitia Casta and finish her like a champion."

During R1: Liz with the pressing, measuring jab, just knuckling it up and stepping around it. Casta wary, batting at Liz' right hand, right hand coiled at her chest. Liz feinting, faking the left cross, then licking the right in under Laetitia's left elbow, making good on her promise to work the body from the get go. Second minute, Laetitia's coming forward, warming to the task - she jabs, steps wide and bends into a slashing right hand and CASTA GOES DOWN! Laetitia sprawling pretty on her back, all stretched out and GOOD LORD IT'S OVER! Hurley smirking down with her smoking gun left at her chest, right hand at her side - phantom punch KO1 awaits video replay to see what happened.

After: Timed to the millisecond. Hurley with her feints and subtle movement gets her feet set before Casta's, slices a downward arcing left cross inside Casta's right, carries in close to Laetitia as Casta misses over the top and goes out on her feet - gentle shoulder shove eases Laetitia to her back: fight over. Diamond cutter precision does all the work - Hurley with a perfectly placed counter makes a mockery of the hype. Casta coming around in swoon, unaware of what's happened - Liz bundles her up, stacks her chest first in the corner, props her left leg on the middle rope and LIZ GETS CLAP-HAPPY TO LAETITIA'S BACKSIDE! If Daniel's open palm burned, Liz' scalds - Laetitia barking out agonized yelps of indignation as Hurley pours in weeks of frustration to the task. Liz pulling back on Casta's hair and hissing directly into the ear when the spanking arm gives out - Laetitia squeezing out hot tears as the night just won't end
