Before: Campbell looking to shake some rust, get some competitive rounds, but is Hu the way to do it? "I'm not afraid of anyone at 120," Campbell says. "I might be rusty for a round or two, but once I find my rhythm, I'll gobble Kelly up." Kelly as slick and sharp as they come - but Alba/Jewel still fresh in everyone's mind - could this be a replay of that fight? "Hey, I'm a proven champion," Kelly bristles at the comparison. "Jessica Alba's a whiny little tramp with a world-class marketing machine behind her - don't even think about comparing the two of us in the boxing ring. Neve's going to try to walk me down and punish me and it's going to get her hurt. I'll take Campbell apart - you all need a reminder of just how good Kelly Hu is!" Campbell in cerulean blue bikini, Kelly in gold bikini top, scarlet bottoms, slick low ponytail.

 

During R1: Hu in that dramatically closed stance, pointing the left shoulder at Neve, left hand at the hip, right up around the chin, supple bends and dips from the waist as Kelly swivel-rotates left. Neve more conventional - dukes up, chin tucked, stepping forward strong, punching out the jab while keeping the right at her brow. Midway through, Kelly times Neve's rhythm, slicing a screened counter right slick over Neve's prodding poke - Campbell doing a hurtin' bunny hop forward, suddenly shook - HU TEARS IT UP! Kelly slashing away lefts and rights in rising arcs from her hips - Neve folding forward behind her dukes, letting punches pelt off her skull and shoulders. Blistering flurry leaves Neve wobbly-butt - Kelly slides scowling to the right, content to backhand her jab, threaten Neve with potshot crosses as Hu sends a message early.

 

R2: Kelly the boss after the first - she's circling either direction, feinting Neve effectively. Hu stooping, jabbing gut, skittish on her feet as she slides out of range, circles, constantly showing Campbell movement. Neve's timing a little off - time and again she'll load up but fail to release - just not hitting the gaps like she'd like. Harmless tapping, touching and negotiating nevertheless translates to points, Hu.

 

R3: Neve with her first robust work to the body, pounding Kelly's hips and lats to good effect. Hu standing in the pocket, dragging that front foot in a bucket - picking Neve up ripping right uppercuts to jug, swatting hooks across the cheek, then laying over tucked on her right side. Campbell soaking it up without complaint - she graduates from flanks to full-on jug and ribs with clobbering, hamhanded lefts and rights up the middle. Hu backed to ropes with a grimace, covering up, folding forward - Campbell pounds Asian biceps, bringing the mitts back quick to reset. All Neve to the bell, getting on Hu with the left shoulder-bump, clobbering away to the arms, cudgeling Kelly about the ears. Hu clinching late, rung up and wobbly butt from the sheer accumulation of thump on her chassis.

 

R4: Neve relentlessly forward, walking Kelly down behind that heavy jab, but dropping the right hand to load up, swing it from the hips: Kelly sees the opening. Second minute - Hu dragging her front foot as she slides back from Neve - Kelly serpentine as she slips Neve's jab, comes back a darting right hand on the mouth, jumps in the hook to bust Neve full on the chin - Campbell sent tottering backwards as Hu's weight carries into the shot. Neve scattered to ropes wide-eyed - she digs in, bends forward and promptly eats a hearty right uppercut on the mouth. CAMPBELL'S STUNNED! Kelly's siamese-cat eyes flat with bad intentions as she lets her hands go - shredding combinations tear past Neve's murky guard, chopping away to face, hooks clawing across tender jug with impunity. Neve trying to answer back with pawing, pushing shots - Kelly supple, slipping with oily upperbody moves, then cutting back into Neve with vicious, shrieking fists. Late the round, series of hacking right hands busts Neve upside the head, pounding the mouthpiece off her teeth, tilting her in stupor against the ropes and THE REF JUMPS IN! Quick whistle stoppage halts staring Neve TKO4.

 

After: Woozy protest from Campbell - she's battered, busted up and clearly hurt, but legs were standing up to Kelly's worst. Slow mo replays draw oohs from the crowd - those savage, hacking right hands from Kelly vivid and damaging - Campbell clearly a-swoon as Hu busted her flush. Boxing finally answers Pressure, turning a recent tide of muscular victories over skill - Hu showing heartless finishing kick when she had her girl hurt tonight.
