Before: Bitterness pervades as Shannen shows up at pre-fight with computer generated “before and after shots” of Dani predicting the upcoming massacre. Plenty of diatribe heaped on TE fighters, especially Mish Williams as Shannen does everything she can to beat up on Fishel psychologically before the fight. Dani restrained, but clearly itching to get it on. Fishel in teal sports bra, grey cotton aerobics bottoms, Shannen in black sports bra, red aerobics bottoms.
During E1: Dani actually utilizing a sturdy jab to throw Shannen off and work her way inside, avoiding the usual toll en route, Fishel able to fight off Doherty’s chest, banking body work to put mileage on the wiry legs of the brunette. Shannen scores late, stepping back and twisting into huge alternating uppercuts, finally putting Dani wobbly butt in fierce first round action.
R2: Dani still a little wobbly, and Shannen able to measure her with the stick before spearing in downward slicing rights midway through the round. Fishel catching hard, head-turning blows on the jaw, and she’s starting to look sluggish as Doherty steps out, finds another angle, and bangs away, Shutout Doherty as Dani already starting to swell, looking vacant in her corner.
R3: Dani shakes it off, and starts bobbing underneath Shannen’s jab, once again using a serviceable stick herself to get to Doherty’s chest. Dani with beefy work to Shannen’s midsection, has the brunette leaning as the girls press guards together inside. Fishel scoops the points with solid bell to bell pressure as Doherty lays in.
R4: more good work from Dani, staying low, jabbing up at Shannen, then setting up with her head on Doherty;s upper chest, fists churning up underneath the brunette’s ribcage. Doherty doesn’t like the body work, grimacing, pulling Dani’s head down, and trying to step back so she can lash the uppercut, but can’t connect this round.
R5: Doherty starts to tear it up with those uppercuts, retreating one step at a time, punching in between Dani’s wide shots, and picking up the little brunette’s head with alternating lefts and rights, Fishel plowing forward continues to press, but catches too much this round, and I leaning too far forward, making Shannen’s tactics more effective.
R6: Dani landing withering left hooks in behind Shannen’s elbow, renders the brunette temporarily incapable of responding. Doherty forced to the ropes, huddling behind her mitts, clinches, and pushes Dani back, but can’t mount offense as Fishel wades inside. Dani getting off with furious 2-fisted bursts, fists spanking hard against Shannen’s taut sides and midriff from bell to bell.
R7: Shannen spiking Dani with a deft lead right, following up with looping left uppercuts to knock Fishel off stride. Dani a half step behind, falls prey to Shannen’s biting uppercut attack, walking into lefts and rights to the body and head as Shannen exerts maximum leverage with steady precision.
R8: Dani working Shannen over at close quarters, when suddenly, Doherty steps back walking Dani onto the best right uppercut of the night, and little Fishel goes blank. Dani helpless--Doherty sees the hurt and goes for the kill. Shannen stepping to the right, whipping the right uppercut onto the mouth from the side has Dani’s head rocking up as her gloves fall to her waist. Doherty lets her hands go, lashing wide lefts, spearing rights as Dani falters, but refuses to go down. At the bell, Fishel is a mess, and Doherty bellows in articulate rage into the girl’s unresponsive face as the ref steps in.
R9: Shannen tells her corner “I’ll get her this round!” and wades out to finish Fishel, slugging loose-limbed lefts and rights in wide swatches, Doherty misses more often then not as Dani bobs up and down, and midway through the round, Fishel scores a beautifully-timed left in between Doherty’s punches. Shannen’s momentum corkscrews her on the spot as she misses her hook, and Doherty fades to the ropes with a look of shock on her face. Dani surging in, bashes fists against ribcage in a savage display of punishment. Doherty going numb, lifts her mitts to her face and groggily takes a beating to the hips and waist as Dani twists into clubbing lefts and rights to the bell. Doherty clutching her ribs, sags heavily on her stool during the break.
R10: Shannen still looking hurt, holds her right at her ribs, and looks to hold Dani off with a backhanded jab from the hips. Fishel with a mean gleam in her eyes, hunts Doherty down, and land crushing counter hooks ion the teeth that have Doherty wobbling on her heels, Shannen finally opens up the right side, and Dani times it, dipping under the tired right cross and REEFING a smacking left to the liver as Doherty immediately cringes. Shannen’s knees give way, and she crumples to the ropes as Dani steps with her. Vicious bashing club-down from lefts and rights, and Shannen legs give way. Doherty collapses to her face on the apron as Dani roars in triumph. KO10 Dani Fishel.
After: Dani’s best effort in a long time sees her give Shannen a devastating beating, culminating in soul-searing KO late. Moment punctuated by an outraged Alyssa Milano at ringside, coming out of the audience to scream at Shannen to get up--Doherty’s sleeping face offers no response.
