Before: Parker not the same girl she was 5 years ago, or even the same girl she was before her disastrous wars against Kelly Packard, but she’s still a top five name at sub 110 pound for pound. She comes to this bout giving away almost 10 pounds to stocky Fishel, but she’ll still be an awkward test for Dani. Another experienced veteran for Fishel, who doesn’t exactly lay low after the fumbling performance against Carteris.

 

Black bikini, white sneakers and gloves for Parker, hair in Spanish ponytail, Fishel in pink bikini, white gloves and shoes.

 

During R1: As advertised, Parker comes out with that loose-limbed, awkward attack, stepping left around Dani, digging a patting left hook up under Fishel’s ribs to open the round. Seems like Dani can land that right hand, but Parker always just out of range, timing her punching and movement exquisitely. By the latter half of the round, Parker is tagging Dani to the body and head, throwing zany uppercuts, looping hooks and dragging her crosses with a slinging motion . Dani fields a ton of punches, but emerges unscathed, and nods at Parker after the bell.

 

R2: More of the same as Dani has little trouble judging distance on the elusive blonde, while Parker plies the thick waist of the brunette with scooping hooks. Backhanding the jab, Sarah throws some looping one-twos, busting Dani up with unintentional elbows because of the gangly delivery. Fishel shutout as the corner breaks out the Endswell.

 

R3: Dan finally gets to Sarah’s body, winging wide right hands to the arm and ribcage of Parker, and Sarah stands in, eager to trade leather. Fishel landing harder, but Sarah still ducking, leaning in and out, using angles, takes the third round—her hardest blows bouncing harmlessly off Dani’s face or arms, but scoring none the less.

 

R4: Dani with good pounding right hands early to the body, put a note of urgency in Sarah’s bouncing movement. Parker continuing to work left hooks from outside into Dani’s body. doubles the punch into a nice left uppercut, mobing Dani’s head back and hurting her first the first time in the fight with seconds left on the bell. Fishel stands strong as Parker tests her with a flurry, and the youngster shakes her head at the bell as if to say “I can take whatever you’ve got.”

 

R5: Sarah continues to dictate terms, winging unpredictable punches and wheeling at will around Fishel. Dani hitting at air most of the round, but in the final minute, a digging left to the pit of Parker’s stomach, followed by a driving right hand on the jaw hammers out the mouthpiece, spinning Sarah suddenly to all fours. Bell sounds to save the blonde, but the power of Dani is well evident as Parker slumps in her corner.

 

R6: Sarah recovers nicely, continuing to befuddle and frustrate Dani from the outside. Fishel still hyper aggressive, churning her fists at the will o’ the wisp, but Parker with a fine defensive effort so far, simply not there. Sarah lights Dani up with a sweet left uppercut in the final minute to put Fishel wobbly butt, but wisely stays away rather than closing to finish, clearly fighting for the decision at this point.

 

R7: Sarah going to work on Dani’s eye this round, lifting the jab off her hip, slipping and looping a right hand counter off it at every opportunity. Fishel’s had worse, but it’s looking a little lumpy. Dani effective in spurts, but she just can’t seem to put 2 punches together on Sarah, who is having her best outing in ages.

 

R8: Sarah shoeshines Dani’s face early, and as Fishel stumbles forward, loops a wild right uppercut to the lips that has Fishel in trouble, patiently stalking and peeking at Dani as she stumbles, Sarah circles the brunette, using the jab, and beating Dani’s left hook with timely straight rights. Dani digging herself another hole on points as she once gain finds the opponent hard to hit.

 

R9: Dani Fishel comes out with a wild look, hair in her eyes and mouth, and cuts off the ring to hammer away at parker in her corner. Sarah on the ropes, twisting and bending at the waist is savaged by the best Dani’s been in the fight. Fishel using her shoulders to buck Parker back, turns her compact body into shuddering blows to the body and head of Sarah, pounding Parker’s breasts flat against her chest with short mauling blows. Parker desperate, countering with uppercuts underneath, but in the final minute, a crushing left hook from Danu catches Parker in mid-punch, and drops the blonde in her corner. Dazed, Sarah beats the count, but Fishel comes roaring back, teeth bared, eyes flashing as she hammers away, Rights and lefts pound home, snapping Sarah’s head dangerously from side to side, and PARKER TAKES A KNEE! Sarah wide eyed in shock, goes down again to catch her breath, and rises only to be saved by the bell,. Dani thrusting her fists in the air hops back to her corner with unabashed glee at her efforts.

 

R10: Dani seeks out Sarah’s gut with opening salvos, literally pounding the little blonde off stride with left hooks against her ribs. Parker with no place to hide, legs shot, seeks the support of the ropes as Fishel bears down. All Fishel down the stretch, as she stands in front of Parker, feet wide part, twisting into explosive punches from either hand. Sarah still capable defensively, saves her head from clean connects, but her body is brutalized by Fishel’s clubbing fists. In the final minute, Fishel rips a left uppercut, left to the liver combination, sending Parker to the canvas with a groan for the 4th knockdown of the fight. Only pride saves Sarah as she rallies to her feet, sags into the ropes and takes punishment to the bell. Dani thrusts her fists in the air at the sight of the broken opponent, then giving the bewildered Parker a big hug after the fight. Decision comes back a draw, drawing the predictable boos from the crowd, but Parker’s points mesh with Dani’s power foir a satisfying verdict.

 

After: Bitter fight from Fishel, who never gave up and really forced the issue on another difficult opponent. Parker with a game effort, despite being outgunned, gave Dani fits with her unorthodox boxing and savvy defense.
