Retooled Loken back from lengthy spa rehab at an undisclosed location: fragile psyche'd Krusher put back together from the ground up, eager to reconquer all her lost territory. "My confidence is back," Kristanna boasts in prefight, selling Krusher swagger to anyone buying. "Uma can punch and that's good: I want punchers to know the party is most definitely OVER. I'm going to lay friggin' WASTE to the welterweight division and every girl who's enjoyed my setbacks is going to pay - HUGE!" Thurman eager to keep the KO hit parade on Kristanna going - Uma can indeed punch: no secret what her strategy's going to be. "I'm going to be harpooning chin at every opportunity," Thurman shrugs. "Krissy's totally hinky - as soon as you doubt your ability to take a punch, you can't - and Krissy's filled with doubts. I'm going to pitch right hands at her jaw until one connects - if she runs, fine, but if's she's going to fight with me - something bad's going to happen to her." Kristanna in silver/white stretch lace push up, boy cut panties, small white work-out gloves: Uma in leopard print bikini, ring connections, small black work-out gloves.

R1: Uma: Hands up high, palms out, right in front of her face, left farther extended. She's shifting, weight on back (right) leg, just dabbing her jab at Krissy's face, looking to shoot short rights to the tip of Loken's chin. Thurman repeatedly warned for jabbing with an open hand - snapping and backhanding her stick a no-no, especially with these small mitts. Loken leggier, using the ring, altnerating her hands from her waist to her temples, leaning forward, then sliding back and to her right. Tactical stuff - only Uma seems to want to fight: points to Thurman.

R2: Similar cagey, tentative stuff at range. Midway through, Thurman cutting off the ring, dabbing and darting her hands at Loken's face: short, chopping right from that high hand position pokes hard against Krissy's chin and LOKEN'S HURT! Ringside Krusher vixens biting knuckles, jumping to their feet, clutching at their hair as Krissy stork-stomps around the ring, wide eyed and shaky. Thurman loping forward, reaching with her left to measure Kris, leaning into slinging right haymakers with KO intentions. Loken shamelessly running, skirting the perimeter - whenever Uma gets into punching position, Krusher clinches, holds for the break. Kris runs clock to the bell as boos cascade down from bloodthirsty crowd: Loken showing improved survival skills as Uma can't find a follow up poke.

R3: Loken doing too much running - loping round the ring, showing off her mobility, but not committing on anything. Uma stalking, she's supple, but flat footed - hard for her to hem a girl like Loken in. Uma the aggressor - she goes back to her corner as crowd boos reach deafening crescendo. Loken unapologetic, back to her corner with rejuvenated legs, but down three rounds early.

R4: Kris more combative, stepping to spots, outjabbing Uma, then ringing her up quick-snatching rights and lefts in combination. Thurman holding right cocked at her chin - she's leaning into some murderous strokes - can't quite get the range as Kris shows smart lateral movement. Down the stretch, Loken with those quick mitts cuffs Uma a hook, chops her a tidy right hand, cuffs her a rising open-palm hook, then swats her ANOTHER hook on the cheek as Thurman's toppling to ropes. Thurman stunned, stoops forward face-in-gloves - Loken enjoying a moment to set her feet and welt limber-limbed wallop at her girl's tanned flanks to the bell. Small gloves raising shiny pink welts on Uma's ribs: Loken flushed with renewed confidence as she takes the fourth.

R5: Kris Loken erupts! Darting in-out footwork setting up dizzying short lead rights and walk-away hooks; breathtaking double jabs tap-tapping against Uma's face, chased by sizzling right crosses; strapping body work as Kris leans in on front foot, getting hooks. Uma hurt again and again, strong legs holding her up, but she's getting all torn up by born-again Loken punching. Bell: Uma wobbly butt, swaying slightly - Loken grinning ear to ear, accepting hugs in her corner - that's Krissy's best round in months.

R6: Loken continues to shine, dimming Uma in the process. Loken's feet the difference - she steps lively, she slides, she dances in, out and around her supple foe. Stiff jabs - often doubled up - pierce Uma's high guard, tap-tapping off shiny cheeks, bloodying the nose. Right/lefts dig up tummy PIK! PAK! Hesitation rights flow effortlessly off feints. Uma grimacing, confused, hands up high, weight back as she tries to sort out the bewildering waves of Loken in a shutout sixth.

R7: Uma timing Kris at last, beats Loken to an early right cross and KRISSY'S HURT! Loken reeling away again on rubbery legs, eyes moist with shock - Thurman much more forceful on follow up this time. Uma heeling Loken rough in the shoulders, shoving Kris to ropes, then sloshing in long-limbed stroke, strapping away head and body. Uma leaning her chin out over Krissy's shoulder, then hoisting those lanky limbs up underneath - Thurman lapping at Krissy's toned torso like she's swinging pales of water up into her. Kris open mouthed, wobbly butt - doing a nice job of clinching Uma for little breathers. Loken survives, frustrating KO minded Uma once again.

R8: Loken still reeling, legs aren't back - Uma hungrily stalking, right fist quivering at her shoulder. Midway through, Thurman sweeps a wide, gathering hook to Loken's ear, then leans in behind a sizzling right on the chin: THERE GO KRISSY'S LEGS AGAIN! Loken destitute, glassy eyes blinking out How-Could-You in morse code as she lolls into ropes - Uma POURS herself at the dregs. Another strapping, lanky-limbed beatdown dished out: Uma leaning in close, lapping her arms up underneath, lifting fists into the firm meat of Krissy's ribcage and midriff. Uma arching her back, trying to get uppercuts, but Loken doing a nice job moving her head, blocking anything ticketed for her chin - Kris survives yet another situation that would have had her on her back in recent fights.

R9: Uma outboxes Loken, reaching the jab onto Kris and keeping her pinned to the apron, but Loken's legs are coming back. Kris loping the perimeter, parrying Uma's punches, batting them out of the air - more boos as Kris fights delaying tactics to fully recuperate in the 9th.

R10: Loken loping right, stops, drops a silky right hand from her hip onto Uma's chin over a lazy Thurman jab and UMA SPUTTERS TO ALL FOURS! Gorgeous pull-counter reminiscent of vintage Theron - Loken smirking, strutting past en route to neutral corner as Thurman struggles to figure out wha' hoppen. Uma up at 8, swaying on the ropes and ON COMES KRISSY! Loken cleaning up every bit of Uma - softening Thurman up with right/lefts taut on paunch, working uptorso to club those jugs and swat that jaw. Krissy using the heels of her hands to shove Uma upright, then jotting straight rights, swatting hooks, looking for uppercuts - Kris just putting together punches in bunches, slashing away at the dregs. Uma grimacing, right at her left cheek, left across her bod as she dips and rolls against the ropes - she's beaten unmercifully to the bell, hanging in there strong as Loken storms to the finish line. Comes back the Tractorpull Special - 10 round draw between hard working tall girls.

During: Uma non-plussed, pursing her lips, shaking her head: she's already preparing her "Can't win a decision over a Krusher vixen" diatribe for the press. Loken shook and rattled by hard Uma chin-checks in this fight, but bearing up - not Krissy's best fight by any means, but a victory of sorts as Loken goes the route, clearly finishes the stronger girl. "Baby steps," a sheepish Kris says of the draw. "It wasn't pretty, but I used the stuff I've been working on the gym to get myself out of jams and I'm satisfied with that. I know I'm physically superior to every girl in this division - it's just a matter of putting the pieces of my game back together and executing like I know I still can."
