BEFORE: "Yeah, but who has she ever fought?" Pallicki jokes in prefight, knowing full well the quality of competition Law's been facing. "Seriously though - no offense to those other lightweights, but that was like sending girls to do a chin-checker's job. NOW Katrina's in with a serious streak-ender, you know? I'm a dream-stealer; a heart-breaker, and when I toe the line at 130, I'ma doing it STRONG, you know? Time for Katrina's reign of terror to end guys: enough's enough!"

Law upbeat, happy to be in the spotlight...her little viking raid into the heart of the lightweight division has her getting noticed. "Adrianne's a little more what I'm used to," Law admits at podium. "She's got welter size; she's cutting to make lightweight, so she's got the beef. But she's still facing the same problem as the other girls did: what do you do when you're getting hit welter hard, but lightweight fast? I'm no joke: these girls can't outspeed me and they can't out-bang me, and they're having real problems with that!"

Law in tan bikini with polished wooden ring-connectors at jug and hip; small black gloves; long dark hair loose/wild tangles. Pallicki in leopard print bikini with ring-connectors jug and hip; small black gloves; auburn hair loose/tangly-curled.

During R1: Pallicki pumping stick at the open...Law avoiding the stiff touch, circling and feinting. Minute in counter-left hook inside Pallicki's jab shakes up Adrianne's legs...while she's sorting herself, blunt right hand slams to halt under left ear, cutting power to her knees. Pallicki in swoon - eyes staring as she funky-foots to ropes, steadying herself with right hand on top strand: Law rushing in mitts at chest, bends into a crashing overhand right, turning Pallicki's head aside/ejecting her mouthpiece into the front row. Adrianne rocked, tying up to prevent knockdown...ref pushes Law back, but Pallicki's too hurt to leg-out: she lays on ropes, forms tight earmuff, digs in. Law steps-to, eyes hard, lips snarling: savage Bonzo gym processing at ropes as Kat keeps the punches short n' snappy, bouncing left/rights off waist; jerking the short left uppercut to guard; whack-batting right hands wide to left-side lats. Good comprehensive thump handed out: Pallicki sitting in the pocket, absorbing/occasionally tying up head-and-arm for breaks. Katrina puts some wear and tear on Pallicki in the first, pushes off big-girl at bell.

R2: Pallicki still throbbing and shaken from a thudding beatdown...she's circling leggy, fighting tall, making Law take chances. Katrina stalking; bobbing on approach; flashing her jab just enough to prevent pot-shot counters and interceptors...she's lunging in overhand rights ticketed for head, but Pallicki able to lean-and-leg out of range, using the ring. Katrina having better luck when the overhand right's a decoy to set up follow-on swinging hooks to Pallicki's ribs...Law able to land loud single touches before Pallicki can escape. Down the stretch, Adrianne stands her ground more, triggering rigid one-twos straight down the middle to deny Law's advance. Katrina pounded upon head/shoulders/blocking guard as she attempts to crowd close - finally brought to a halt by Pallicki's rangy power.

R3: Law looking to weave-close, but Adrianne's stiff-jabbing her foe to a halt, then cleaning up via rangy right crosses to spook Katrina into regrouping. Pallicki able to step forward, loosening up a bit, feeling more sure of herself: exchange of clubbing rights and lefts midring sees Adrianne get the better of it, forcing another withdrawal upon Law. Kat misjudges distance - thinks she's out of range: one long steps brings Adrianne close; slinging right slams to a halt on left side of Kat's jaw, shaking her; follow-on rangy hook pounds palm-down to point of chin and LAW GOES DOWN! Clean up hook drops Law to her back...excited Pallicki looms over her foe while throwing air-combinations for the crowd: ref shoos Pallicki away and starts the count. Shaky 8, Kat Law...she's a woozy beauty, but forming-up dukes-at-brows and stepping forward off the ropes. Adrianne grinning, waiting in her stance; flashing the jab to Kat's guard, then sticking it down into belly. Kat paws a right out of her guard, but Pallicki's waiting for it, triggering a swift right cross that glances hard off Law's right cheekbone. Kat covers up in a hurry: Pallicki unleashes a rangy hook thick to ribs...stays on that front (left) leg while reloading...cranks an extra, rising left hook up into Law's breadbasket. Gorgeous body shots have Katrina stooping forward hurrrrrt...Pallicki has time to step back while extending left hand to nudge at Law's guard, then bending in to strap a vicious sidearm right to flank. Law grimacing, opening up to slug left/right but there's no steam: Pallicki's oily hook clips across chin; slap-choppy right locates mouth; left uppercut picks up chin; right hand misses over the top as LAW GOES DOWN! Katrina sprawling rump-high to knees and elbows, forehead on canvas...Pallicki struts away nodding head aggressively while holding her hands up in triumph. Law beats the count shabby, swaying at the ropes, blinking in astonishment...she fights off the KO as the bell sounds to save her.

R4: Adrianne with a knowing little smirk as she circles clockwise with groggy, shopworn Law...Katrina showing dukes at cheeks, eyes all glassy and unfocussed, knee joints loose as she's walking on her heels. Pallicki rolling her shoulders - greasing Law's jugs with a frisky jab, first sign of a punch from Law and Pallicki triggers the hook, touching Katrina on the chin and sending stingers down both legs. Quick right hand follow up to jaw has Law staggering wildly to her right...she stumbles across the ring into ropes, right arm folding over top strand for support. Pallicki wading in mitts at cheeks; little head-feint on approach gets Kat to flinch, then Adrianne dives into a crashing right cross, splitting Law's mitts, punching her head back over top rope and ending her night. Katrina's mouthpiece shoots off her teeth; her body relaxes into ropes, hands drooping out to either side...she's helpless, out on her feet as Adrianne looks to apply insurance. Vigilant ref steps in, gathering Katrina up before extra polish can be applied: one aggressive nod from Pallicki, then she turns to her left, holding right hand high in exultation. TKO4 Adrianne Pallicki in crashing fashion.

AFter: Law coming-to moments later - fighters engaging in a little heartfelt chat in the post-fight mill...Pallicki patting Law's lower back upon parting. "You know...what goes up must come down," Pallicki shrugs in postfight. "Girl came out of nowhere, but she has real skills...she ambushed a couple of real good fighters and made a name for herself. Unfortunately, once you've got a name, you got something worth taking, you know? I couldn't let her come in here and rack up another win. She had to be checked; she was checked, and now she knows where the ceiling is!"
