With Hayden Panettiere pulling out of her scheduled bout against Shannen for a much-needed rest, the always eager Bev Mitchell stepped forward on short notice, once again filling a spot, and presumably setting herself up for yet another dreadful beating. Nobody's ever questioned Mitchell's desire or heart, but nobody's ever mentioned her in the same breath as Shannen Doherty before either. Call it overconfidence, call it complacency, but Shan just never got her act together in this fight while Beverly gave her usual 110% to provide a busy, workmanlike upset of titanic proportions.

It was evident early on. Doherty's footwork was lazy - she retreated to the apron, lifting a desultory jab into Mitchell and looking to paralyze the blonde with slinging single right hands. Mitchell dutifully came forward, risking destruction, but acquiting herself very well. Time and again it was Bev crouching her way in under Doherty's lanky shots, setting up on Doherty's impressive chest and busily outworking a sulking, entitled brunette in sweaty slugging against the ropes.

Shannen fought as though she believed the judges owed her the decision. She would spend long stretches covering up and absorbing punishment, or pulling at Bev's head and arms to tie her up for breaks. Doherty did occasionally dip her left shoulder and crank the odd whiplash hook into Mitchell's ribcage - and everytime she did, Bev's knees shook - but there was no follow up, no commitment. Beverly was allowed to position and work inside, while Shannen sulked, soaked and clinched.

 

Such was the respect for Doherty, and the relative disdain for Mitchell, that even late in the fight, with Beverly well up on all cards - most in the audience assumed Shannen would turn on the jets and devastate her exuberant foe. The break-out simply never emerged. Sullen, cranky and flat - Shannen simply absorbed more pesky punishment - even looking shaky in the final few minutes as the accumulation of Mitchell threatened to end this thing in dramatic fashion.

At the announcement - a stunned, giddy Bev Mitchell burst into happy tears while a grumpy Shannen D stormed out of the ring, blaming everyone but herself for the unlikely debacle. The biggest win, by far, of Beverly Mitchell's career has her suddenly looking at a potential Hayden Panettiere date - and another upset THERE might even get this hard working, long suffering journeywoman ranked!
