Before: Danes with a tough act to follow, having watched Eliza dismantle Tiffany Amber Thiessen via closed circuit television. Stiles reputedly a rugged customer, but HISC officials like Danes boxing ability against the solid Julia. Julia in black two piece dance leotard, black leg warmers bunched around the ankles, Claire in red two piece dance leotard, leg warmers.

 

 

During R1: Julia dropping a shattering right hand over Claire's first jab of the fight - Danes stepping in fence post holes desperately struggling to stay upright as Stiles walks her down. Julia cool and professional on follow up - textbook hooks on the waist setting up straight right hands and left uppercuts as Claire teeters on the verge in the first minute. Claire trying to clinch and walk her way off the ropes, but Stiles too strong - it's brutal shove and slug as Julia pancakes groggy Claire up against the ropes, then pounds away to the body and head with crisp, competent combos. HUGE gash opens up over Claire's left eye end of the second minute - blonde is badly disoriented, flopping to a corner and covering up as Stiles cruelly goes to that eye with chopping blows from both hands. Claire all busted up and swooning at the bell - Stiles emerging untouched, smoldering as she stomps back to her corner.

 

 

R2: Danes stiff legged, fending Julia off with the jab, but Stiles applying relentless pressure as she cuts down the ring. Julia hemming Claire into corners and punishing her ribcage, then bouncing her fists off that eye to keep the cut flowing. Masterful work from the young dancer - Danes' pretty face awash as the ref takes a close look. Dying seconds, Julia pounds right cross to the eye that spills Claire sideways against the ropes, then drops her to the mat as Stiles steps away. Bell saves Claire who is helped to her stool for some endswell and trauma massage.

 

 

R3: Danes gutting it up - goes to the jab, prompts life out of her legs and manages to stick and move this round. Stiles less effective cutting off the ring, and when she gets inside, Danes ties her up around the triceps for breaks.

 

 

R4: Claire's boxing has saved her eye - she continues to circle, now keeping Stiles at the end of her punches and Julia starts to get nicked up. Stiles increasingly frustrated, trying to force the issue and down the stretch, she barges in, gets her feet squared up and takes a keen counter left hook on right eye that sits her down! Julia up quickly, but Danes back in this fight with a timely knockdown AND, she's opened up Stiles' eyebrow with the sharp punching.

 

 

R5: Vicious pecking attack from both women as each seeks to open the other's cut with dabbing jabs and hard right hands on vulnerable eyes. Stiles breaks out of the pattern late to score some shuddering hooks to the stomach that force Claire to double clutch - giving Julia the round.

 

 

R6: Danes back on Stiles' eye with meanspirited jabs, banging away at the cut and staring at it with full concentration. Pain getting to Julia as she starts to circle away, looking to dance out the round but Danes keeps on her, scoring several spearing straight lefts and rights throughout the stanza.

 

 

R7: Danes in control - her jab has mastery of Julia's face and Stiles is busting up horribly under the tattooing abuse. Claire very calm, left side of her face swollen, that eye shut, but she gets off a jab every few seconds, flatfooted, just reaching it in - occasionally turning into the straight right hand from the shoulder, backhanding Stiles with it to set up the left on follow through. Down the stretch, both women snap off missing hooks, but Stiles bends into a short right hand, getting her shoulder behind it and DANES IS HURT! Claire's legs spasm as she stumbles into the ropes and the entire round is upended. Stiles finishes up with a monster beat down at the ropes, clubbing Claire stupid as the blonde huddles behind her gloves, sopping up the punishment. Julia steals the round - both girls are badly opened up again as faces are ravaged.

 

 

R8: Julia stamping HER jab home now, punching Claire groggy from outside and walking the blonde down. Danes forced to shoulder up with Julia and Stiles is stronger, banging out the points and forcing blonde into the ropes. Stiles hammering away with patient hooks across the tummy, then curling off the body with left uppercuts to leave Danes weaving out over her feet at the bell.

 

 

R9: Danes flaps a nothing jab, steps back, then commits all to a whippy hook that catches Stiles rushing in - Julia stumbling backwards several steps can't believe the harm done! Claire all but ruined, walks Julia down with hands at her side, pitching in a hard right hand to the gut from her thigh when she's close enough and falling into Julia at the ropes. Both girls stupified, fighting on instinct, lolling against each other, pushing up off each other to get off with slinging punches - both seem to be just one clean punch from going down.

 

 

R10: Back to the flat footed jabbing from outside from both women - girls carrying their hands low, faces tragically beaten as each gets off and takes in turn. Circling and dabbing, girls get progressively more broken down until the final minute: Danes drills a straight right hand, reloads and catches Stiles leaning to her right with another surprising right on the ear to sprawl Julia into the ropes. Claire with an exhausted finish, palms Julia's upperchest to drape her on the ropes, then clobbers home some disasterous right hands across the face to clap the mouthpiece off Stiles teeth. Julia in a KO trance at the bell, but Claire can't get her out of there. Goes to the cards and comes back a one point win for Julia Stiles!

 

 

After: Oh the humanity! Danes in a brawl for the ages, gives and gives of herself in this fight only to come up short by the slenderest of margins. Controversial scoring of the first round saw Stiles awarded 10-8 without a knockdown - proved to be difference in the fight. Julia battered beyond recognition herself, but not too beaten to lift one hand high and signal tired triumph to an appreciative audience.

 

 

Thanks to Apollo for this repost.
