Before: Liu threatening once again to unify the flyweight belts - old nemesis Peeples standing in the way of the unprecedented repetition of that feat. Nia a rugged brunette with an ideal style against Liu, usually comes in over 110 for her fights after making weight. A lot of sniping back and forth in prefight - both girls rightly recognize one another as the premier threat either could face in this division. Lucy in slick ponytail, leopard print boy cut trunks, black push up, Nia in slick ponytail, black sports bra, high cut red aerobics bottoms.

During R1: Liu out aggressively, sweeping sidearm blows to back Peeps into a corner, but Nia staying calm, comes out of the corner swinging, nailing Liu a looping right hand on the face as Lucy leans away and LIU GOES DOWN! Lucy bouncing right back up - flash knock down, but Nia coming on bold with punishing ground strokes to the hips and belly, beats Liu mercilessly up against the ropes. Liu recaptures the initiative late, brawling her way off the ropes with leaping lefts and rights, finding Peeples' face repeatedly at the bell.

R2: Nia scuttles over to cut off the ring - Liu faced with a very mobile opponent tonight. Peeps concentrating on the midsection with Mosley like rips to the sides, getting her hips into the punches, using her jab to freeze Nia for wide right hands to the kidneys. Liu coming on late, backs Peeples up with a brazen free for all style of brawling - Liu leaving her feet, lunging with right hands, leaping into wide lefts - dangerous moments for both women, but Nia more consistent, more focused, more effective.

R3: Good moments for Liu early as she mounts her patented strafing runs from well outside, trying to drag the big right hand into Nia, but Peeples stays well defended, pivots to line Lucy up, and continues her single minded assault on the Asian's midriff. Crunching blows add up - by the final minute, Lucy's flat footed, pulling Nia's head down, backing away with her hands down, just leaning away from punches and lolling on the ropes as Peeples splatters leather against the Asian's ribs.

R4: Peeples using the stubby jab to Lucy's chest, puts Liu on the ropes, then sweeps the wide right hand to the body - Liu cringing as Nia's brick-like fists land with crushing spanks in behind the elbows. Liu bending at the waist, leaning back into the ropes - she's desperately writhing and slipping away from punches, and in the final minute, she's finally able to time Peeples with the counter uppercut. Short right hand - Liu standing up onto her toes with the punch almost sits Nia down - Peeples clattering backwards with a stunned expression at the bell. Lucy steals the round, sending Peeples back to her corner hurt for the first time in the fight.

R5: Liu's turned the tide - she's slashing in on Nia, landing crazy overhand rights, or lunging with lead left uppercuts, falling off to the side and pivoting around her foe as Nia takes on punishment. Liu jumping in and out, jumping left and right, nailing Peeples with increasing frequency, when out of the blue, Nia fades Lucy's left, beats Liu to a crashing right hand on the mouth and LIU GOES DOWN! Stunned Lucy Liu sits up in the ropes - right arm out on the apron, eyes wide - she's badly hurt and saved by the bell as Nia nods, struts back to her corner.

R6: Liu still mobile, still doing her thing - but she's showing signs of damage, not executing as sharply as she should. Nia shaking off early Liu right hands on her ear, dives in on Lucy's body with straight right hands - hollow thudding impacts sapping the life out of Lucy's legs and a triple left hook to the tummy has Liu turning away in agony to take a knee! Third knockdown of the fight for Nia - she bounces excitedly in a corner as Liu takes 8, gulping air, eyes starting to swell - crowd roaring as Nia storms in to lay a beating on Lucy in a corner for the final minute. Peeples pulled off by the ref at the bell - a battered Lucy Liu comes away shaky, face grim after being tattooed by her foe.

R7: Liu squinting, obviously hurting, but she shows tremendous fortitude in returning to form this round. Liu bouncing around the perimeter, making Nia chase, and Peeps walks into several slashing right hands from Lucy's thigh - Liu jumping in and down with her punches, then spinning away from receipts to capture the round.

R8: More cat and mouse - Liu clearly trying to avoid toe to toe clashes - Nia trying to force them. Lucy's legs keeping her ahead of the curve - she's bending at the waist, keeping her head below Nia's navel, straightening suddenly to pull crazy uppercuts into Peeples' gut from the floor. Nia Hagleresque, walking Lucy down, lead right hands to the body, double left hands to the head and body - but Liu squeezes out another close round.

R9: Same as the 8th - Liu able to dictate for the first two minutes before Nia can catch up and work her body. Peeple's starting to lump up, but Lucy's punches aren't rocking Nia any longer - Peeps walking through it, hunting Liu down, but running out of time as Lucy cops more points.

R10: Liu hopping right, hands down at her sides, stopping to walk Nia into crazy right hands, then bounding away - all single shot pops from Liu - Peeples soaking them up without breaking stride - she's putting tremendous pressure on Liu with her legs. Final minute all Nia as Liu goes flat footed and crowds in to smother. Nia wrestling and bulling Lucy into the ropes, working to the body as Liu twists and turns with the incoming. At the bell, Peeples keeps punching to the body - Liu answering back with a spanking crotch shot - corners fill the ring - its many minutes before order is restored. Decision comes back UD10 for the winner - NIA PEEPLES!

After: Liu expressionless, all shiny and sore as Nia goes wild beside her, bouncing up and down as the ref holds her fist high. Fight all even in rounds, but knockdowns kill Liu - body work did the job tonight as Nia one of the few who can get to Lucy consistently enough to wear her down. Crushing loss has critics wondering if Liu's beatings in the bantam ranks did irreparable damage to the once invincible champion. Nia heaping it on in post fight, says, "I made Lucy Liu quit in there tonight. She was running for her life in the last four rounds, trying not to get knocked out. I think she's gunshy, she's been beat up a lot lately and she can't take it anymore - she's definitely fighting scared." Ouch.
