LUCY LIU VS SHANIA TWAiN
Friday, 13-Aug-1999 21: 03:40
Thanks to FightFan for this Post
Before: Gutsy call by Shania, taking a fight over Mutt's objections and facing one of the best at 110. Liu with the same loosy-goose attack as Spears, only more so, and pound for pound a harder hitter. Twain confident in pre-fight that she can take Liu's punch, and beat Lucy with strong fundamental boxing. Liu in black push up bra and panties, Twain in pink.
During R1: Lucy all over Twain from the opening bell, swaying back on her hips from Twain's punches, and countering with vicious straight arm lefts and rights that knock Shania off balance. Twain desperate not to get tentative, keeps punching, but Lucy simply has her dialed in, sweeping in and around on Twain and landing hellacious single blows from wild angles. Lucy spends the first minute breaking down Twain's tight form with her legs, then at the midway point, begins to set down on her punches, bending deep at her waist to make Shania miss over the top. A crashing counter right uppercut nearly tears Shania's head off, and she is hurt, standing helpless in front of Lucy as Liu reloads. A wide left hand clouts Twain's mouthguard out, and sends Shania staggering backwards with a vacant look on her face. Liu bending her knees, sails into Shania with another dramatic, leaping right hand, and Twain goes down. Shania on her back, just can't beat the count, tears flowing as she slowly shakes her head no while lying on the canvas. Liu favours her victim with a vicious glare before strutting back to her comer with yet another picturesque KO under her belt
After: What happened? Twain just couldn't get started against the unorthodox Asian, and Lucy posted an incredible land percentage by compubox numbers to earn the stoppage. Twain drops out of the top ten at her weight, making the slump official, and Shania cancels several concert dates, obviously distraught at this latest debacl

6 AUGUST 2000 (NON TITLE BOUT) LUCY LIU VS CARMEN ELECTRA
6 AUGUST 2000 (NON-TITLE BOUT) LUCY LIU VS CARMEN ELECTRA
Sunday, 06-Aug-2000 14:53:06
(Thanks to FightFan for this Repost
BEFORE: Electra putting her stamp on sub-120 boxing, facing the best opposition in fight after fight. Liu not bothering to make weight, ineligible for Carmen's bantam belts, but uncaring: "Boxing's not big enough for the two of us. I'm not going to pack it on just to make Maxim magazine happy - I'm fighting Carmen to let her and everyone else know who the boss is." Intriguing match up between the two most unorthodox fighters in the game. Carmen in her white push up and panties from Scary Movie, Liu in black push up and panties - nose to nose staredown during instructions.
During R1: Safety first demonstration of catlike reflexes and supple movement from both women as each tries to land big, but made to miss by the other. At one point, Liu backs to a corner and bounces back and forth between adjacent ropes, making Electra miss half a dozen straight punches from the shoulder before the Asian spins out and creates space. By the final minute, it's Electra who's making the fight, walking the smaller girl down and at least trying to make contact. Liu misses a counter right hand, lunging in and getting caught a short catspaw left hook on the cheek - Lucy stutter stepping, covering up and Electra drops the short right hand in between the ropes to spill Liu to the ropes. Bell sounds as Lucy looks a little stunned -Electra grinning and lifting her mitts to taunt. Round to Carmen.
R2: More cat and mouse - girls stepping flat footed around one another, supple upperbodies bending and feinting, each trying to explode up with huge dragging shots, or lunge into a crouch with looping power, but defense reigns supreme. Liu a little more effective this round, catching Carmen with some come along hooks as she steps to her right, then reversing field to clip Electra with a curling overhand right. Round to Lucy.
R3: Carmen going to Liu's body a little more, letting Liu move her head and jerking short left hands into the taut midriff. Liu backing away, doesn't like the belly attack as Electra once again assumes territorial control, cutting off the ring, but unable to put punches together.
R4: Liu sitting on Electra's left hooks to the body, turning her body to accept it and coming back with a lightning left hook counter on the cheek. Carmen standing up to the power very well, doesn't back off, but she walks into some clean punches this round as Liu rolls, counters, and pivots away to pocket points.
R5: Carmen with her best round, actually uses a jab to help her corral Liu to a corner, then bodies up ala Nia Peeples to work both hands to the Asian's slender torso. Bashing, curling blows feature up the middle as Carmen punches, then crowds to keep Liu tied up. Lucy blocking, sitting against the turnbuckle and protecting her head, but Electra doing fine bully's work as she lavishing on body and arm shots. Shutout Electra and a little trash after the bell as Carmen lets Lucy hear it.
R6: Carmen with a little separation, now judging distance a little better, clipping Liu with slinging wide punches as Lucy throws and comes up short. Electra stepping to her right, just showing Liu the jab, then bending into right hands has found the range, she just needs to set down on something rather than simply make contact. Round to Electra.
R7: Liu brazen, hands at her side, comes out sullen faced, gives Carmen a little head feint, then straightens into a whippy right uppercut between the mitts as Carmen covers up - ELECTRA IS HURT! Carmen reels to the ropes as Liu steps with her - Lucy with her hands down, body loose as she bends then RIPS upward with the crazy uppercuts from either hand. Electra sliding along the ropes, belly catching leather, does a good job of evading homerun swings until the midway point when Liu dips inside an Electra right hand, plows a hard forearm across Carmen's belly, and bends hard to the right to clap a wide left hand upside the head - Electra swooning, legs shot, butt propped on the ropes as she drifts. Big swinging beat down for Liu as she piles on, hoisting the uppercuts from the floor into Electra's quivering belly, leaning back to make Carmen miss, and swaying back to make her pay with crashing blows from wild angles. Electra's curvy legs soak it up, but she is ROCKED at the bell - Liu's dark eyes glittering at the sight of Carmen weaving helplessly against the ropes.
R8: Carmen moving her head more - girls look like a couple of Cobra's squaring off. Electra punching hard to the body, stuffing the left into the gut, holding it there while crowding, then turning Liu counterclockwise and coming over the top with the right hand. Liu slowing, getting jolted to the gut by Electra's determined pressure and down the stretch a pounding overhand right to the temple has Lucy wobbly butt. Liu reeling backwards - Carmen running at her and firing on the move, drives Lucy heavily to the ropes with lefts and rights from the shoulder. Electra squaring up, puts her legs behind a series of curling left uppercuts to the body, and Liu looks sick at the bell.
R9: Electra comes steaming in and Liu times her perfectly, dipping to her right outside of Carmen's left uppercut and coming back with her own wild right uppercut to the pit of Electra's stomach and CARMEN IS HURT! Carmen hunching forward, covering up, gives Lucy her sides as she tries to crowd - Liu stepping back in good order, walking Electra onto thudding left and right rips to the hips and up between the gloves. All Lucy Liu as she lures a hurting Carmen Electra back and forth across the ring, shelling the girl's waist and coming back up top with the jerking right uppercut, all legs and buttock behind the punches. Electra woozy at the bell and Lucy favours her with a crisp late clout across the lips as the ref jumps in.
R10: Liu jumping on her girl, knows the fight is close and lets it all hang out. Dipping left and right, Lucy commits to vicious breast punching, lifting her fists up into Carmen's bra and stunning the champ with the assault - Electra overwhelmed as Liu's uppercuts pound her flat. Carmen drubbed to the ropes, left bra strap straying down her shoulder as she lowers her guard - Liu stalking in, she feints the left uppercut and comes over the top with a whistling, tight right
CARMEN IS OUT! Electra suddenly blank, stands for a moment as Lucy straightens and smiles - then Carmen peels over to crash to her face at Liu's feet. Lucy putting a triumphant foot in the sweet spot of Carmen's lower back, lifts her mitts and poses happily until referee intervention. KO10 Lucy Liu.
After: Shocking conclusion - Liu slightly behind going into the tenth pulls it out and hammers Electra into a daze with one of the most picturesque single punch whacks in recent memory. Punch is set up perfectly with a withering breast attack, Liu claiming to have been 'waiting for the perfect moment to unleash' the jug mugging. Electra shattered by the loss, her first in many a moon, simply can't accept Liu's supremacy. "You have to give me a rematch!" A sobbing Electra whines in post fight.

13 AUGUST 2000 LUCY LIU VS CARMEN ELECTRA II
Thanks to FightFan for this repost
Sunday, 13-Aug-2000 15:34:01
Before: Superfight rematch pitting two of the most efficient fighters statistically in the FCBA against one another. Electra aching to get Liu back in the ring following a disastrous eleventh hour knockout loss in a fight Carmen had almost sewn up. Liu very cocky and hurtful in pre-fight comments - constantly rehashing the KO and trying every trick to get under Electra's skin. Carmen in purple aerobics two piece, high neck, Liu in black sports bra, red aerobics bottoms, slick ponytail.
During R1: Liu out dancing, Electra stalking - Lucy using the come along hook as she skips to her right - Carmen sinewy upper body movement as she cuts off the ring. Midway through, Electra feints, jumps in with her left hand low, whipping the left uppercut from her knees and catching Lucy on the point of the chin to send the Asian staggering across the ring. Liu recovering well, dances and keeps her distance the rest of the way - Round to Electra.
R2: Electra out very fast, leaping in with a straight right hand as Liu slips under, Electra slipping in turn to dodge a wild Liu right and coming out of her crouch with a sweeping left hand from the floor that pounds hard to the pit of Liu's belly. Lucy gurgling, stumbles to all fours as Carmen prances away all smiles - Liu in big trouble as she struggles up for 8. Carmen immediately swarming - Liu on trembling legs trying to slip and roll, but getting clipped as she staggers to the ropes. Electra squaring up - crowd goes wild as she rips Zab Judah type lefts and rights from in tight as Liu covers up. Down the stretch, Liu slipping under Carmen's left, spins off the ropes, pivoting around Electra and NAILING her a hard overhand right as Carmen turns into the punch. Carmen's legs numb, hands drop to her stomach as she topples sideways to the ropes and barely remains standing. Bell sounds before Liu can finish - Electra glassy eyed - punch knocks anyone under 110 pounds out cold, but Carmen makes it to her corner for some feverish work.
R3: Carmen still rattled, but so is Liu - Lucy not used to seeing anyone take her best punch, doesn't press the issue. Girls relying on supple upperbody movement and pantherish reflexes, trying to land a big shot, but neither wanting to commit to the follow up punching required. Late in the round, Carmen dips in, comes up with her withering left uppercut to the gut and LIU IS HURT! Lucy covering up - Carmen coming to life, splashes pounding lefts and rights to the hips, then tries to work up the middle with the clipping right uppercut to drape Liu on the ropes. Bell sounds, Liu drops her gloves and Carmen plows home a blatant right hand to the lips as the ref jumps in.
R4: Leaping, gambling potshots flow forth as the girls lunge and fade back, twisting away with rubbery spined defense, leaping in on coiled-spring legs - but rarely making flush contact. Final minute, Liu moving right, clipping little hooks under Carmen's chin, changes direction and claps a slinging right hand across Electra's face. CARMEN IS HURT! Electra with her feet parallel, hands wide, eyes blinking is helpless as Liu pours it on. Lefts and rights from the hips -Liu walking in, jerking blinding combinations to the jugs and face of her foe - Electra getting battered stumbling back on her heels - feet still too wide to support her - and CARMEN GOES DOWN! Electra on her back, lips quivering as she lifts her head, rolls to her side. Liu looking on as Carmen tries to get to her feet, only to stumble forward and collapse at the ropes and THE REF COUNTS 10! Electra is KO'D! KO4 Lucy Liu.
After: Stunning conclusion sees a shell-shocked Electra on her knees, looking blearily out between the ropes to the crowd as Liu struts with hands held high in the ring. It's not over for Carmen - gloves are removed - Electra seated on her stool as the physician shines a penlight in her eyes - Liu barging in, takes a handful of Electra's waistband, hoists the brunette to her feet and gives her a walk of shame as the crowd roars. Electra sobbing piteously, held close about the waist as a beaming albeit swollen-eyed Liu waves and nods to the mob. Liu circles the ring then pushes Carmen back onto her stool to continue her victory strut alone. Electra battered and humiliated beyond words is escorted hastily from the scene.

14 AUGUST 2000 LUCY LIU VS BROOKE LANGTON
(Thanks to FightFan for this Repost)
Posted by simguy on 10/14/2000, 10:03 am
Before: Liu carrying 110 well on the scales, but drops back to 105 on fight night - Langton a solid 118, maybe a little more in the ring. Langton the most successful boxer against Liu, sending Lucy into a brief tailspin a while back, but the bigger brunette enters the underdog on reputation alone. Liu in slick ponytail, black push up, leopard print boy cut trunks - Brooke in violet sports bra, grey high cut aerobics bottoms, messy ponytail. Small gloves for both.
R1: You train for weeks, you watch miles of tape, you prepare for every eventuality - and then you get hit by Lucy Liu. Liu nearly tearing Brooke's head off with the first punch of the fight - a leaping left uppercut off a feint that puts Langton wobbly butt seconds in. 3 minutes of hellish punishment follow - Liu coming at her wrecked opponent from all angles, targeting each body part for destruction with a series of crashing power punches while Langton just tries to survive. At one point, Liu backs a groggy Langton to the ropes, takes her by the waistband of her trunks and pushes her weight into the brunette, then tugs her forward, clouting her hard across the face, putting her shoulder back in to repeat the process. Ref breaks up the nonsense, slapping Liu's hand away from the there - but Brooke is dazed, helpless to prevent it. At another point, Liu presses up on Langton, shielding the brunette from the ref and stuffs meanspirited left hands into Brooke's crotch - senselessly fouling the already dazed opponent who slumps forward with breathless whimpers as Liu works. Final minute sees Liu break Brooke down with devastating uppercuts to the stomach, setting up a twisting left hook on the jaw that leaves Langton staring at the bell. Shattered Brooke doesn't go down, but she's helped to her corner - Meanwhile Liu intercepts the ring card girl, takes the sign away from her and struts the ring with it to the delight of the audience.
R2: Brooke not fully recovering, but operational, comes out with elbows in, gloves at her chin ready to work. Liu clowning, hands down, dancing and delighting in outrageous dodges to make the more orthodox brunette miss. Langton stays focused however, nicking Liu with the jab, dropping the straight right hand to the sternum and by the final minute she's hacked out the points while Lucy showboats.
R3: Brooke uptempoing, punching with Liu and both girls bounce fists hard off faces and bellies in a series of exchanges. Midway through, Liu gets caught midleap as Langton times the Asian uppercut, swiveling Liu's head with a short left hook and DOWN GOES LIU! Lucy dropped to her butt beats the count, all traces of clowning absent as she squares up hurt. Langton piles on to the bell, fitting her fists into Liu's sides, curling short punches across Lucy's abs and hacking down on the Asian's ears as Liu is pummelled to the ropes.
R4: Langton staying disciplined, letting an angry Lucy Liu come to her and punching with Lucy to disrupt the Asian's rhythm. Langton with marvelous discipline, nailing Lucy regularly and Liu looks a little ragged by the final minute, hands down, bending very low at the waist. Brooke shortening up her strokes, picks and pecks Liu to the ropes again and finishes up the stronger girl, putting combinations together to win her third straight round. Wear and tear starting to show on both girls - Lucy's Asian eyes swelling for the first time in a long time.
R5: Langton out with jolting straight right hands, doubling and tripling the punch straight down the pike and LIU GOES DOWN! Lucy unhurt, rolling to her back and jumping to her feet, but she's definitely disoriented. Liu rushing in to get the points back - Langton deftly walking her into tight little hooks or chopping right hands to bang the Asian up on the way in. Brooke touching up with her shoulder on Liu before cranking that tight left hook, bangs away at close range on Liu's jaw and Lucy's legs lock up. Lucy bends desperately forward as Langton tags her repeatedly with the left hand - a stuffing hook to the side drops Liu to one knee for the second knockdown of the round. Liu up slowly, mouth open - she doesn't look right and on comes Langton. Brooke never out of position, putting her punches together to keep up the pressure, but giving Liu no obvious counter opportunities. Liu beaten to the ropes and savaged to the head and body as Brooke bodies up to the bell.
R6: Liu back on her toes, finally answers with a classy run and shoot shutout this round. Langton tightly covered up, gives Liu the body, pivoting as Liu hits and sweeps past to set up from a new angle. Liu doing no damage, but controlling the tempo throughout - she's uncharacteristically cautious with Langton still dangerous after 6.
R7: Brooke just keeping the pressure on, punching with Liu, then when Lucy's rhythm breaks down, moving in to work the body with snapping hooks and right hands. Liu absorbing bantam shots well, but she's down off her toes, clinching more than usual and not initiating the exchanges. Langton grinds out another round, staying close to her foe, making Lucy trade inside. Liu looking hollow eyed at the bell, slumping wearily in her corner - she's in trouble going into the final third of the bout.
R8: Lucy toughing out another slugging round. Liu bending forward as she steps back, lunges upwards to tag stomach with dragging uppercuts, but Langton's walking through the punches now to make the fight. Liu able to dip and counter successfully, pulls out the round, but Langton with very confident body language back to her corner.
R9: All Brooke Langton as she jabs Liu to the ropes, steps in and goes to work on the hips and midriff with constant, methodical work. Shove and slug from Brooke as Liu covers up and takes her mugging, but down the stretch, Lucy looking broken down, suddenly comes alive and NAILS Brooke a hard sweeping left hand to the cheek. Langton wobbly butt, hanging on and Liu reefs to the waist with both hands at the bell to steal the round.
R10: Langton warned to be careful in her corner, but she has good success early touching Liu's eyes with the jab and just goes with the flow. By the middle minute, Langton is walking Liu down, battering her with slashing combinations, then grimly stalking as Liu wearily steps away. Down the stretch, Brooke pummelling Liu against the ropes when once again, Lucy times her perfectly, beating Langton to the hook on the jaw and stunning the beautiful brunette. Brooke clinching, ties Liu up the rest of the way as Lucy struggles to free up punching room. Ref struggles to separate the combatants at the bell, and after a long delay the decision comes back - UD10 Brooke Langton!
After: Liu expressionless as Brooke's hand is raised, Lucy's eyes swollen to slits, lips cracked, face shiny with abuse. Langton prancing the ring with hands held high, crying tears of jubilation as a lonely Lucy Liu exits painfully from the ring. Brooke took everything Liu had to give in the first, then pounded out a tough win by dropping Liu 3 times to the canvas. Langton tells Leno in the days to come, "It was an easy fight in a lot of ways. By the third round I really think she knew she was in over her head." No question Langton took Liu's punching better than a flyweight could have - leaves Lucy with some decisions to make.

29 AUGUST 2000 LUCY LIU VS CARMEN ELECTRA III
(Thanks to FightFan for this repost)
Posted by simguy on 10/29/2000, 8:17 am
Before: Liu looking to take ownership of Electra with a third consecutive victory, needles Carmen repeatedly during pre-fight hype sessions to win decisive psychological battles early. Problem for Carmen is she's a great improviser in the ring, but Liu a little better at the chaotic, free-for-all style that both utilize. To reverse the tide, Electra needs a little patience, tap Liu's body, and use Lucy's pride against her by letting Liu come forward when she's hurt, rather than pressing to finish - Carmen retaining Langton for essential ring work in this regard. Patience, calculation, strategy - not exactly Carmen's forte - pundits expect another shootout until one girl lies unconscious in the ring. White bra and panties for blondified Carmen, black push up, leapord print boy cut trunks for Liu.
R1: Carmen in a more conventional stance, hands up close to her temples - Lucy with her hands down, bouncing left and right, stopping suddenly to sling in with either hand, then dipping away. It's Electra stalking, cutting down the ring, and dropping a Langton-esque jab from her temple to Lucy's face in short chops - Liu getting tagged, but bouncing away from trouble, answers with slashing attacks from outside as she tries to fit a mitt into Electra's gut. Nothing much settled - Carmen effective coming forward, but obviously uncomfortable with the discipline - Liu using her movement to suss out Electra's new approach.
R2: Carmen opens with good mobility, quickly hemming Lucy into one-quarter of the ring and popping double jabs that have Liu bobbing and bending defensively. Electra following up with quick licking right hands finds Lucy's eye at the end of the first minute, forcing a stutter step out of the Asian for the first time. Carmen encouraged, drops her mitts and goes to war, leaping in with her characteristic lead left uppercut as Liu dives backward to the ropes. Wild slinging and leaping follows as Liu snakes up and down with her torso while cross stepping out of the corner, slipping Electra's whistling haymakers and midway through the round - Liu stepping back in a low crouch, pops up with a left below the navel, doubling it to a hard left uppercut on the chin and ELECTRA IS HURT! Carmen floundering forward as Liu pivots to her right - Lucy swinging a straight arm left plowing into Electra's face and jerking her sideways in deep trouble. Liu walking in on Carmen, lifting her fists from her sides and jamming them in on Carmen's jaw as Electra stumbles backwards - crashing right hand turns Carmen's head and ELECTRA GOES DOWN! Burbling, choking back tears on her backside in the corner, Electra gets to her knees, hands feverishly climbing the ropes but she CAN'T BEAT THE COUNT! KO2 Lucy Liu as Carmen Electra makes it to wobbly legs as the ref waves off the fight!
After: Liu caps off the anticlimactic brawl with a rough walk of shame, tugging the sniffling and groggy Electra around the ring, and keeping up a steady torrent of verbal abuse as Carmen just wants it to be over. Afterwards, Liu pours salt in the wounds, saying "She fought like she wanted me to walk her. She's pathetic." Electra caught in between styles just didn't have it, and despite her gaudy offensive skills, has proven to be a bit chinny - a cardinal sin against Liu.

11 NOVEMBER 2000 LUCY LIU VS YASMINE BLEETH
(Thanks to FightFan for this repost)
Posted by Simguy on 11/11/2000, 11:13 am
Before: Bleeth the big underdog, but confident veteran not about to concede anything: "Lucy's a great fighter, no question about it, but my fans know that if I'm in shape, I can lick any woman in the house. That amature crap she pulls won't get it done against me - I'm too experienced for that and I really think I can take advantage of the holes in her style." Liu pretending to nap during Bleeth's pre-fight comments, has heard this kind of plucky optimism before. Lucy in black leather push up bikini, tight ponytail, Yasmine in gold lamme bikini, wet curls.
During R1: Yasmine stepping it up from the get go, nails Lu repeatedly as Lucy tries to jump in with her right hand - short, beautifully timed punches from Bleeth short circuiting Liu's attack. Yasmine transitioning beautifully, following up successful counter strikes with firm body shots, getting good smack off the Asian's toned midriff. Bit of a wake up call for Lucy as she drops the first.
R2: Right, shutout Lucy Liu. Liu wheeling outside, hands at her side, slashing in and scoring, then jumping past the startled Bleeth in a series of gliding hit and run attacks. All single power shots from Liu as she lets her legs do the work - amature crap looks pretty good this round as Bleeth can't keep up.
R3: Yasmine covering up tight, giving Liu the body and trying to drop the chopping right as Liu rushes past. Lucy getting nicked on occasion but still clearly in control, dragging her fists from her knees up into the exposed gut, turning her girl and snaking back from Bleeth punches with an exagerrated torso lean. Easy round for Liu as Yasmine looks very defensive.
R4: Liu more flat footed now, leaning forward to tempt Yasmine with her available face, but bobbing well below the waistline has Bleeth swishing at air. Liu starting to dial in with the left uppercut, bringing it from the canvas to stuff heavily into Yasmine's gut or shave her chin as Bleeth starts to break down. Midway through, Liu leaps up into a left uppercut that misses, but springs back the other way with a slinging overhand right that splatters heavily across Yasmine's face. Bleeth staggering the length of the ring to hit the ropes - Liu following up to dart in and out, flicking the left in behind Yasmine's elbow while looking for more right hands at the bell.
R5: Another shutout Lucy Liu - Bleeth looking punchy - overreacting to Liu's twitching feints, and getting harmed by Lucy's heavy leather to the body and head. Liu right in front of Yasmine, but writhing up and down, coming out of her crouch with shattering lefts and rights on the square jaw of the opponent - Yas looks ready to go. A leaping left uppercut in the final minute lifts Bleeth onto her toes and sends her sprawling, fall broken once again by the ropes and Liu pours it on. Lucy swaying in and out, helping herself to the breadbasket with low slung left hands, and catspawing Bleeth's face with quick right hands piles up another shutout, busts open Yasmine's left eye with constant abuse.
R6: Liu brazen, standing in front of Bleeth, hands down, leaning away from every Yasmine offering and countering with straight arm licks from either side to ring Bleeth up in a dazzling display of timing and power. Bleeth cuffed from one foot to the other, settles on just driving straight right hands to the body, at least touching Liu rather than giving up another shutout. Liu taunting, lifting her mitts at the bell.
R7: Liu still trusting her reflexes, hands down - yasmine with her gloves at her temples, reaches in with straight right hands to bounce glove off body with increasing frequency. Liu ignoring the work, dipping to her left or right, slinging punches from all angles, but the Asian is definitely slowing. Down the stretch, Bleeth is able to body up, get her left hand in on the act, and Yasmine closes out the round working Liu over about the hips with clubbing lefts and rights as Liu covers up. Bleeth winning her first round since the first.
R8: Liu unconcerned, dancing away, freewheeling and posing - Yasmine all business as she cuts down the ring, spears straight right hands to the body and slowly works her way into position for left hooks. By the midway point, Bleeth is back where she wants to be, on top of Liu, stoving in the Asian's sides with snapping lefts and rights. Liu reaching around the waist to clinch, breathing through her mouth, looks a little winded after 8.
R9: Bleeth seeing a glimmer of hope, bounces off her stool and goes right at Liu this round. Lucy able to cuff Bleeth about the ears as she falls off to the left or right, turning Yasmine early, but Bleeth keeps coming and soon has her forehead on Lucy's once again. Busy, busy body work, thudding one two threes bouncing off Asian belly - Liu starting to grimace and hold on for breaks. By the final minute, Bleeth is walking Lucy down, cracking her about the head the temples and body - fists always snapping back to Yasmine's guard position as she looks SHARP late.
R10: Liu no longer insolent, hurriedly bounding around the perimeter of the ring - she's running the clock. Yasmine stepping with her, jabbing to cut off the right and moving Liu brilliantly into a straight right hand and LUCY GOES DOWN! Liu scooting to her backside at the ropes looks stunned, gets up as blood trickles from the corner of her mouth. Bleeth piles on and Lucy is forced into the corner for a toe to toe slugfest. Liu grimly planting her feet, swaying back into the ropes, giving Bleeth that lead shoulder to shoot at, then swaying forward to counter Yasmine hard upside the head. Bleeth with her weight forward, keeping everything short, crisp - she's missing a lot, but she's catching Liu on ever 3rd or 4th shot in even, bitter trade. At the bell, girls still slugging away - ref pulls Yasmine back and settles the combatants down. After a long delay, cards are tallied and it's NOT A DRAW! UD10 Yasmine Bleeth as Liu stares stunned into the crowd, mouth agape in disbelief as Bleeth leaps for joy.
After: Astounding come back for Bleeth after getting whitewashed in the first half - fight proves bantams take a better punch than flys as Bleeth shook off plenty of bombs through 5. "I want to thank Nia Peeples," blubbers a teary eyed Bleeth in the ring afterwards, "We worked SO hard on that body attack in the gym and I knew if I could just stay in the fight that we could break Lucy down." Liu visibly rattled by the decision, losing back to back for the first time in years, and dropping a duke that most felt she should have won - maybe the only time in Lucy's career that she's let an underdog get the better of her. Peeples in the audience smiling smugly and clapping, happy to see Lucy wandering shellshocked, alone, in the ring as Bleeth is feted.

12 DECEMBER 2000 LUCY LIU VS ALYSSA MILANO
(Thanks to FightFan for this repost)
Posted by simguy on 12/16/2000, 11:21 am
Before: Liu dropping down and challenging Milano - apparently for no other reason than to dish out a beating. Alyssa a better fighter than she's ever been, but there's nothing about her approach that should give Lucy problems except for power, especially to the body that might make the two fight on more even terms. Milano appropriately defiant in pre-fight, but she's a Buster Douglas type long shot at most books. Lucy in black push up, leopard print boy cut trunks, Blonde Alyssa in gold tankini (see current FHM magazine cover).
During R1: Lucy flat footed, hands down, pawing with the left and suddenly jerking right hands off her hip to the face and breasts of Alyssa - Milano keeping her mitts uncharacteristically high, wants inside but Liu's power stance has the blonde tentative. Liu scoring, potshotting - doing it all with sheer handspeed and reflexes as she backs Milano up. Down the stretch, Lucy pokes a left hand, eats a short right on the temple in return, follow up left hook to the gut and LUCY GOES DOWN! Liu rolling to her back, up quick - she's startled - stepping forward her legs look queasy - Milano pounces. Alyssa walking Liu to the ropes starts to rip up the gut with plunging lefts and rights - Liu covering up, bending forward and taking it to her body and protective arms downstairs. Bell sounds - Milano keeps chugging away until the ref can pull her off - Liu flushed, embarassed at the sight of Alyssa prancing to her corner, playing to the delighted crowd.
R2: Milano has herself another good minute tracking Liu down, attacking to the midriff with both hands, but Lucy gets the wheels turning by the midway point. Liu dancing, circling, slashing in from 4 feet away to sweep single shot rights into any opening, then darting back out before Milano can get off - this is the fight most pundits anticipated - Alyssa with her gloves at her lips, pivots, squares up well, but can't do much about stopping Liu from touching her.
R3: Lucy with hands at her sides, insolently backing away, bending to one side, laying there until she draws a punch, then sweeping back the other way with a vicious straight arm counter that unerringly meets with skull, breast or belly. Milano coming forward, starts to get clocked flush - her own punches coming up short, or slicing air as Liu's supple defence proves impenetrable. Midway through, Liu stepping back, tagging Milano at will, walks the blonde into a crunching left uppercut from the knees - Alyssa hurt for the first time in the fight, covers up as Liu pivots with a hand at Milano's back to attack from the side. Staggering sideway retreat from Alyssa as Lucy bashes away from the oblique angle, herding the blonde to the ropes. Liu right in front, bending down as Milano groggily paws at her and Lucy just starts lighting Alyssa up with sudden jerking right uppercuts from a southpaw stance - all leg and shoulder as she repeatedly drapes Alyssa up against the ropes. At the bell - Milano all busted up - feet stepping uncertainly as she stumbles to her corner - Liu in complete control.
R4: Liu brazen, showboating - keeping her hands down, bending her torso back at crazy angles as Milano chops short punches at her, pivoting and turning Milano around the ring as the blonde struggles to make contact. A good middle minute from Alyssa sees her stubbornly continue to pursue, lay glove on body and forces Liu to her toes. Lucy easily dancing, tapping and escaping with slapping punches to take the round - either she's carrying Alyssa, or letting her off the hook.
R5: Similar pattern - Milano with pressure able to have moments, but Liu's legs dominate the round - girls fight when and where Liu says as she commands the ring. Pretty stuff from an agility and form standpoint, but scattered boos greet the gliding smooth of Liu.
R6: Shutout Liu. For the most part, it's posturing and clowning from Liu as she delights in making Milano miss with supple acrobatics, but Lucy's not hurting the blonde in turn and the crowd's restless. Liu turning Alyssa with a hand at the blonde's hip or elbow, making it look easy - Milano getting frustrated at not being able to make meaningful contact, but meanwhile she's done a good job of recovering from Lucy's earlier power shots.
R7: Liu stepping back and crouching, giving Milano more opportunity, but midway through the round, Liu pops out of a crouch with a sharp right/left clout on the teeth, taking a half step back to draw Milano forward and CRUSHING her with the left uppercut. Milano soaking up the hardest blast of the fight - legs all trembly - she wanders to the ropes with a blank expression as Liu walks her down with a smile. All Lucy Liu to the bell as she sways in and out on flat feet, hands down, just reaching into Alyssa's body, stepping over to drill right hands between the mitts - Milano's face lumping up badly as she starts to take heat again this round. After the bell, girls chest up - a stunned but defiant Alyssa Milano taunting Liu for not putting her down - Liu promising Alyssa she won't finish the fight.
R8: Liu outclassing Alyssa now, gives up a few hefty body shots for the chance to clap Milano's head side to side with outrageous circus punches from the floor. Milano reeling, often staggering several steps after being clobbered, but refusing to go down - she's throwing a gauntlet down as the fight becomes about Milano denying Liu the stoppage.
R9: Liu pouring it on with the flat eyes of a siamese cat - murderous intentions on every punch as she walks in, bodies up, steps out and cracks Milano with overhand rights, uppercutting lefts. Liu striking suddenly, jumping to the left or right and quickly slashing with the other hand has Alyssa stepping in fence post holes, but at the bell, Alyssa smiling through cracked lips, goading Liu to fury during the break. Lucy's corner worried she's losing control, tell her to take the decision - Liu showing no sign that she's even listening, just glaring across at the other corner.
R10: Liu lunging across the ring, dips and nails face with a statue of liberty left uppercut, narrowly missing the follow up right hand as Milano crumbles away. Milano stepping in fence post holes, gloves tight at her temples as Liu walks her down. Liu able to touch Alyssa to the body, but Milano doing a nice job of blocking upstairs - time running down - in the final minute Liu uptempos as the crowd starts to roar. Lucy stepping to her right, clips a little come-along hook under Milano's chin, suddenly reversing field and driving a right hand in on the blonde's mouth - MILANO'S HURT! Alyssa wobbling straight back with glazed eyes, hands down - she's defenceless. Liu catches her on the run with a sailing right on the forehead - enough to topple Milano and send her reeling across the ring to land on her back at the ropes. Alyssa a pathetic sight as she flops and writhes to get off her back, climb the ropes - Lucy counting from the behind the ref, smiling broadly at 8 and thrusting her gloves to the ceiling when Milano hasn't gotten off her hip at 10 - KO10 Lucy Liu.
After: Liu giving Milano about 3 seconds to have her gloves removed, then its the walk of shame for Alyssa as Lucy claims her prize. Slowest ring walk in history - Liu guiding Alyssa forward a few steps with the right hand at Milano's waist, then stopping to brush Alyssa's sweat soaked hair behind her ear, exposing the badly battered features - Liu cooing or making mocking "that's gotta hurt" expressions as groggy Alyssa tries to turn her head away with sullen resentment. Heartbreaking stoppage for the plucky blonde - Alyssa coming within 30 seconds of going the distance with boxing's most relentless KO artist. Liu drinking in the triumph - heaping a beating on Milano just because she can.
