Before: tremendous psychological pressure applied by the girl with momentum (Brenda) upon the girl without (Sarah). "I'm rolling Foxfire up," Brenda gushes, hands clasped together at her chest, eyes bright. "I'm just so exciting - all these girls are falling to me - everything's happened so fast - I feel like I'm running wild and nobody can stop me! Sarah's not up to this: When I beat Hayden, I took the heart and soul of this group - Sarah's just me cleaning up loose ends. I'll get her out of there in 2 snips, move against Vanessa, then take the title. It’s all coming together for me!" Sarah serious, unsmiling in prefight - lissome beauty overshadowed by Hayden, badly worn down by HISC, suffering losses to key rivals - and now feeling intense pressure from flyweight rookie class. "It’s been tough," Carter says of her year. "But I have a chance to dig in and start now; cooling her off would be huge for me, I don’t care what happens to Hayden, but obviously, we’ve been a bit off target lately and we need to push back - hard. I don’t care if it’s HISC, Song, Hudgens or whoever - girls can’t come at Foxfire and expect to make their names at our expense." Brenda in sleek black bikini, high ponytail with curly bangs framing face; small black workout gloves. Sarah in gold bikini; sleek low ponytail with bangs framing face; small black work out gloves. Sarah refuses to touch gloves; Brenda sneers before wheeling away.

During R1; Sarah quickly on top with the jab, then feigning retreat, luring Brenda in. Song pounces to the attack - Carter neatly cuffs her a limber left hook, pivoting left around the shape. Another stomping fencer’s lunge from Sarah stitches jabs to Brenda’s face, angering her: Sarah fades back, dangling her left hand at her side; again, she locks a preemptive hook upside Brenda’s head, spoiling the Song pounce. Brenda rendered tentative by Sarah’s lithe traps: carter over to offence throughout the second minute - darting in and out, keeping Song covered up. Vicious buggy whip right hand lashes in above Brenda’s left hip 2 minutes in: her lips curl back, breath hissing in as she recoils from the shot, Hard satisfaction in Sarah’s eyes at her foe’s distress. Bell: Song ducks; Sarah whirls to deliver ponylash, missing over the top.

R2: Brenda pouncing in: Sarah nimbly backpedalling, dangling left hand, licking vicious check hooks upside Brenda’s head to rebuke the Disney cutey. Song well-smote, backing off: once again Sarah able to become aggressor after repulsing early song advances. Carter darting in behind her jab, then hopping out-stitching her way past the defences. Buggywhip right hands featured by Sarah - lashed cruelly to Song’s left side, but also at her head. Carter displaying tremendous balance and timing during one backpedal - catching Song a sudden chopping right as Brenda moving forward. Song shook, covering up hurt—Sarah calmly curving to her right, assessing damage. Carter happy to nip in and out - stinging Brenda, working over her face with jabs, body with right hands. Bell: Carter demure, head bowed as she walks quickly to her corner, thinking things through. Song puffy under her left eye, grimacing from throbbing leftside ribs.

R3: Brenda pouncing in: Sarah effortlessly backpedalling in good order, lashing the dangling hook, pivoting left around it, then immediately counter-attacking when Song’s covered up. Brenda repulsed - getting confused: she’s barely touched Sarah, yet the attempts are proving very costly. Carter’s buttocks high and proud as she walks to her right or pivots to her left - constantly menacing Brenda’s flanks. Sarah bringing either hand while balanced on her lead (left) foot - often feinting with the one to bring the other: she’s scoring straight poke to Brenda’s face, punching Song’s head back. Midway through, Sarah’s trip-hammer rights off the shoulder startle and shock Brenda, buckling Song’s sturdy legs: Carter keeps at her with the right hand - retracting it to the shoulder, then bouncing it off Song’s scalp, guard, shoulder, or lashing it sidearm across quivering Song abs. Benda stooped forward, shipping shellack: she finally cries out, jogs away, blinking back tears as she tries to rally. Sarah smirking, ice-queen confidence returning as blonde harries brunette for a third shutout.

R4: Song tentative - Sarah spends a minute trying to coax Brenda into pouncing: jabbing Song in her tummy, then hopping back; dousing Brenda with quick shoe-shining combos upstairs, then sidestepping. Song not buying - she’s hanging back, pouting holding right hand under her chin, left across her gut in closed stance. Sarah extends left hand to Song’s left shoulder, then leans in to lash that buggywhip right in above Brenda’s hip - catching plenty of back in the process. Song cries out, turning away and beseeching the ref to do something. Sarah increasingly belligerent - mounting slashing attacks from angles - blonde ponytail swishing back and forth in time with the beating. Late the round - Song able to walk over-aggressive Sarah into a snappy left hook off the hip: Brenda repulsing Sarah’s attack with a dose of Carter’s own medicine.

R5: Cagey cat and mouse. Both girls attempt lunging pounces, darting in and out - but both are now wary of dangling counter hooks and sudden right hand counters from closed stances. They take turns baiting each other forward - eyes bright with deception. Clean punching disappears - replaced by glancing blows or half-hearted strikes delivered while stepping backward. Song a little more agile, a little quicker mitted at close range - slowly but surely she out-touches Sarah in a fitting, graceful display of thrust-and-parry. Seething looks all around at the bell - both girls walking briskly to respective corners as new battle lines are drawn.

R6: Brenda pressing successful early - scoring, then pulling back just before Sarah’s whistling counters can connect. Wheels come off halfway through when Brenda rushes forward - Sarah bounding back in good order, lashes a lion-taming overhand right against Bren’s cheek, stunning her. Song covers up, stoops forward: Sarah leans in, dragging that murderous buggywhip right THUMPING above Brenda’s hip. SONG GOES DOWN! Brenda’s back (right) leg gives way, putting her on bended knee: she’s blubbering prettily, trying to rally as seething Sarah stalks past. Down the stretch - Sarah cleaning up on Brenda at the ropes: poor Song grimacing, dipping and rolling in her closed stance as Sarah rakes her. Bell: Song blinking, shaky; Sarah whirls, fetching Brenda a heartbreaking ponylash across the eyes. Carter breaks into malevolent grin at the choking sound of outrage from behind her.

R7: Brenda discouraged - she’s moping to her right along the perimeter, keeping her stance closed. Sarah stalking her foe, walking Brenda down - blonde cautiously locating her foe with a jab to the presented leftside ribs or shoulder, then sweeping in the buggywhip right to the back or hip. Song miserable - grimacing and recoiling from Sarah’s touch, but not answering back: little Asian bully in retreat mode, badly lumped up and disordered by blonde ballerina. Sarah never wild or overanxious - content to harass Brenda along the aprons, collect the odd slinging potshot and let the jab nibble at Brenda’s reserves.

R8: Sarah quickly across the ring, surprising Song, hounding her back into her corner, Sarah to Song’s midsection: thick, pumping rights and lefts hup-hup-hup - Sarah going at Brenda big-girl here, bunching the Asian up butt-on turnbuckles. With Song in shock, Sarah eases right foot back, widens her stance, starts throwing hard, lashing lefts and rights to the head. Brenda panicked, dukes up as she straightens against turnbuckles, barely evading a sweeping Sarah hook across the mouth. Carter leans in willowy-bodied, pulling sinewy right over the top and SMASHING it across Brenda’s face. Asian beauty relaxes, slumping sideways to ropes, then toppling to the canvas under a lathering shellack of Carter lefts and rights across brunette back. Sarah hopping out of the way as Brenda sprawls face-down on the canvas - it’s OVER! - KO8 Sarah Carter!

After: Song finally issued a firm set-back - been a long time since the bouncy Asian has tasted grim defeat. Sarah covering her mouth with her hands, bawling with jubilation and relief: huge come-back win for the blonde shores up a badly shaken Foxfire organization, reeling from wave after wave of concerted attacks over the last few weeks. Sarah removes gloves, then stomps angry-butt over to a still-woozy Brenda - pulling the whining brunette to her feet by her arm. Walk of shame, Sarah to Brenda - blonde with arm stern around sulking Asian hips as Sarah parades her conquest. Song a blubbering mess: she had forgotten that sometimes, blondes do punch back. "This is the first of many steps back for Brenda Song," Sarah says resolutely in postfight. "She surprised a lot of people with her pounce and unorthodox looks - but we’re on to her now. I timed her to perfection tonight - took her part. I felt my game coming back in the Michelle Williams fight and tonight I’m happy to say it’s back with a vengeance!"
