Loken addresses the chin issue: "Look, people have to understand - I have a great chin - but I've taken some HUMUNGOUS shots this year from the biggest punchers in our game. Maybe I've pushed myself to get back on top too quickly and I paid the price for rushing, but I'm well rested for Gena and I know I can take her punch. Things will be back to normal after this fight - everybody's gonna know Kristanna Loken's still around and still kicking welterweight glute!" Nolin pursing her lips, clearly nonplussed - when asked how she sees the upcoming fight, she's unequivocal: "Another Loken loss. Kris can cry all she wants about how she just needs rest to get back on top, but the fact is - when you're done, you're done. Loken's shot - welterweights are lining up for payback and this fight's gonna be mine. I'm gonna stretch Kris OUT, you know? Flat on her back. And there's not a damn thing she can do about it." One thing Krusher's are trying: Charlize Theron herself will work the Loken corner in an attempt to re-motivate the former pound for pound great. Big G in heartstopping, very pale yellow or peach bikini - Loken in black lace push up, boy cut panties, sleek low ponytail.

Rd 1: Sloppy early clinch sees Nolin bull Kris to ropes: Gena pressing in with her left hand goes right to crotch, right to jaw, right to crotch, right to jaw - clubbing up and down until ref heaves the two apart. Kris seething, storms into Gena - more sloppy, reckless, holding-and-hitting type brawling from both women. Gena's kind of fight - Loken giving away all her natural gifts to join Nolin in the mire - Big G getting under her opponent's skin early.

Rd 2: Gena buzzes Loken an early right hand on the chin - not a flush connect, but Kris hinky, steps out and looks to work from long range. Gena doing some nice influence boxing here - creeping to her right in a closed stance to loop sneaky lead right hands; fading Kris, luring her forward; stooping to jab at Krissy's gut, then stepping back, again, trying to coax Loken into giving up distance. Kris taking the bait, catching clout upside her head via the Nolin right hand, both girls tanning offending ribcage with thick shellack when in range.

Rd 3: Charlize refocusing Kris, alerting her to Gena's little tricks: Loken comes out leggy, snapping the jab with authority, right hand cocked at the chin and ready while she keeps her distance. Nolin pawing her jab, mincing around, trying to bait Loken but Krissy's wise to it - Loken able to bang away outside, steppin' lively left, looking for sharp right hands to Gena's chin and a mop-up hook beefy in Gena's waist.

Rd 4: Gena with much improved upperbody movement her last few fights - she's slipping Loken's fearsome one-two, rotating up out of the crouch with shocking hooks or looping right hands. End of minute one - G rolls Loken's right off the left shoulder, answers back a sneaky-screened right cross on the teeth and THERE GO KRISSY'S LEGS! Loken tilting onto her right leg, left leg up off the canvas - Gena able to pile in and rush Kristanna limp to ropes. THICK beat down administered - G bracing Kris in her shoulders, then murdering her to the body - both dukes big n' bashing away to buckle Loken forward. Buxom shove n' slug from Gena - she's stacking then shellacking - poor Kris getting bullied, jostled and clouted as she tries to rally. Good chin, strong legs shown: Loken pounded into stupor but keeps her feet. Krissy's reward for defiance at the bell: cheap Gena Lee low blow - hook fat to trunks drops a sobbing Loken to her knees as ref reads Gena the riot act. Break: Theron administering sharp little slaps to Loken's cheek - bringing the former champ around: dull blaze of hate as Krissy responds much the same way Charlize always did under the heavy hand of Janet Jones. Works though: Loken's focused, listening.

Rd 5: Nolin smart - rushing Loken and crowding her to ropes, holding her in a left arm wrap and working her body and crotch with thudding rhythm. Loken working hard to reverse positions - girls tumbling along the ropes, often in bruising embraces - each trying to push the other down and punish her. Kristanna crying out repeatedly as she's savaged between the legs - Gena shrugging 'em in, then crowding with her big blonde body to hide the infraction. Nolin rough with her head, rubbing and bumping Loken's brows, and Nolin's elbows getting up to make solid contact with Krissy's cheeks. Gena tightening up nice on her strokes, shrugging compact hooks and uppercuts - she's very effective even without all the sharp practice. Tough sledding - Loken getting no help from the ref - she's bravely slopping away with Nolin belly to belly at the break. CHEAP LATE RIGHT HAND! Nolin swinging over top the ref to paste Krissy late - Loken returns to her corner and gets a jaw-dropping dressing down from Charlize! "Every time she hits you low - you tag her bottoms HARDER and LOWER," Theron screams in Loken's blinking face, "YOU UNDERSTAND ME? DON'T EVER LET HER BULLY YOU LIKE THAT AGAIN, KRISSY! NOT EVER!"

R6: Kristanna out with high guard - pumping the jab: Gena rolling it with her lead shoulder, nice little dip to the right to ride it out. Nolin creeping to her right - big woman's footwork much improved as she slinks around Loken, looking for right hand punching lanes. Gena feinting - another improvement - getting flinch and hesitation out of Loken who's not sure what she's looking at. Little belly-tap jabs from Gena, just touching Loken - Nolin stepping right after the pokes - she's nibbling and dictating in a cautious first minute. BIG RIGHT HAND GENA! Loken with a lazy jab as Gena's floating right - Nolin steps, ROCKETS into her counter right hand from the screened crouch - she DETONATES the punch off Loken's head in a spray of sweat! Shattering blast has Krissy stiff legged, toppling backward - Gena's sweeping left just brushes the lips, right hand misses as LOKEN SPRAWLS TO HER BACK! OH MY GOD IT'S OVER! KO6 Gena Lee Nolin in THUNDERCLAP fashion!

After: Kristanna badly, badly knocked out - eyelashes twitching, lips set in a stunned grimace - she's on her back, right hand lazily reaching up from her hip, left at her side, skull ringing. Thunderous KO - another of those brutal shots Krissy's been caught with this year - critics will have a field day as former 'most dominant fighter in the game' fails to finish yet another bout. Loken removed via stretcher as a precaution, to gales of laughter and derision from team Gena. "Every time I fight a Krusher," Nolin quips on camera, "seems like they finish on a stretcher! It's like a Krusher limo!"
