Before: Dani becoming  the pop-star public enemy #1, and it’s that rep that prompts Ciccone to come out of a 5-year retirement to “teach that kid some manners”. M still has the fitness and strength to be a threat, but you’ve got to wonder about the reflexes and eroded skills over such a long exile. “I know I ruffled a lot of feathers with my comments about Dani’s last fight,” says Charlize, “but I have to stand by them. She looks porky again tonight, and I think she’s looked increasingly vulnerable over the last year or two, I think you have to blame the fighter to a certain extend, but I also think you have to question Dean’s management. They’ve ridden Fishel into the ground, fighting her too often, taking a big fat slice every time out and getting rich off Dani’s lumps. If Madonna can still fight at all, she’s going to give Dani hell--you watch. How many times do we need to see Fishel carted off on a stretcher before somebody steps in and DOES something about it?” Dani in teal sports bra, grey stretch cotton boy cut trunks--Madonna black sports bra, black nylon jogging trunks, ponytail.

During R1: Madonna comes out with her gloves high, looking to square up on Dani and get off with tight uppercuts out of her guard. Fishel bobbing and leaving ala Frazier, trying to work her hooks in behind the elbow and ditch he blonde mid-punch. Good stinging give and take most of the round--but down the stretch, Dani chops an overhand right off the face, comes back a thudding hook to the belly and Madonna locks up in pain. Fishel getting her face on Madonna bulls her to the ropes and heaves in the hurt underneath--Madonna grimacing as she covers up at the bell.

R2: Madonna squaring up, pressing her guard on Dani, but she’s not getting off as the eyes see openings the body can’t take advantage of. Fishel working out of he crouch, bringing rights and lefts up into Ciccone’s ribcage, then bobbing nicely under the blonde’s punches with effective head movement. Madonna seated on the ropes in the final minute, elbows in, soaking it up as Dani starts to rev up at the bell.

R3: Shutout Fishel--BLISTERING hooks rake across the belly and have Madonna stumbling--Fishel smiling, happy to press her face against Madonna’s upper chest and rampage downstairs with both mitts blind. Madonna clinching more this round, constantly getting walked to the ropes and worked over--anyone remember Sugar Ray coming back against Camacho?

R4: More of the same--Madonna right in front of Dani, covering up--Fishel able to work her game--nonstop contact to the sides and midsection, setting up crashing hooks on the jaw as Madonna starts to wilt. Final minute is all Danu--she plows headlong into M, piling the blonde deep into the ropes and continues to beat away at the hard strength of the singer’s waist and chest. Dani palming up on Madonna’s biceps to get the arms out of the way--Madonna laying back and staring as the bill adds up.

R5: Madonna clinching and headlocking early, draws her first warnings but does get Dani off her rhythm somewhat. Fight goes back to the punishing give and take of the first minute--Madonna staying tight behind her guard, waiting for Dani to get off then countering with the quick uppercut from either hand., Final minute, Madonna’s steady single shots on the chin seems to have  Dani broken down--Fishel suddenly wobbles away and Madonna steps with her, uppercutting the chin, bulling her back. As Fishel hit’s the ropes for the first time, she s clearly dazed. Madonna stays on her, eyes bright behind her high guard bas she methodically dips to the side to rip at the gut , or straightens up to clip chin with her uppercut, Fishel slap-happy at the bell as Madonna gives her an extra right hand on the mouth late.

R6: Dani shakes it off and comes right back at the elder blonde-Madonna standing in to take, pinning her hopes in the uppercuts as she answers for every 4 or 5 from Fishel., Steady puts Madonna ropeside again and Fishel uptempos in the final minute. Ciccone beaten sideways, unable to cope with the incoming as Dani starts twisting her compact frame into God-awful side to side blockbuster punching at the bell.

R7: Madonna of her stool a dead woman walking--clearly favoring a damaged ribcage after 7 rounds of concentrated body attack from D. Fishel hammers away at Madonna’s protective right arm downstairs, but its all a ruse--Dani suddenly changing up and looping a curling right hand off the exposed face to pound the mouthpiece off Madonna’s teeth. M in a stupor, standing up with her hands at her stomach--Dani wades in with lefts and rights to the mouth to beat Madonna senseless into the ropes, Ciccone in trouble--out on her feet and Dani pours it on--feet wide, hair flailing, hips twisting back and forth as punches bash home and THE REF STEPS IN! Madonna staring glassily over the man’s shoulder as Dani leaps for joy--demonstrat8ive TKO7 Dani Fishel.

After: Charlize: “10 years ago, Madonna was hell on wheels--now she’s just up on blocks, getting used for parts. Only TE would subject a vulnerable music icon like Madonna to this sort of humiliation--it’s disgusting. Who’s Dani’s next opponent? Angela Lansbury?” Despite Theron derision--this was a brutal display of hungry punching from Dani and many experts wondered if she were up to the challenge of even a retired M. Ciccone. Fishel answers the critics with another solid performance and leaves the music industry gnashing it’s teeth in impotent rage.
