Before: Cat Bell - "Give Connelly credit - she could have milked the title, padded her record with pork, but she's going straight for a unification bout against the toughest pound for pound fighter in the FCBA - my girl Dani. Both girls' bread and butter punch is the left hook, but look for right hands to be important here - I think the girl who can mix up her attack the best might have an advantage. I like Fishel head to head, but Jenny can crack - I'm worried that Dani's going to have to accept some punishment before it's all said and done tonight." Dani in teal sports bra, grey stretch cotton boy cut trunks, Jenny in navy sports bra, red boy cut trunks.

During R1: As expected, girls get shoulder to shoulder midring, crowding in close, looking to jerk hooks into one another with sick leverage. Not wild action - both are trying to get low on the other, nudge with the lead shoulder and clip it inside before the gap closes. Dani's busier early, but at the minute mark, Connelly squeezes the hook inside Dani's guarding right hand - Fishel stops punching, she's shaken up. Connelly takes over with gut wrenching hooks at the belt, shouldering Dani back, poking in the straight right hand to set up blistering hooks across the top of the head. Jenny's obviously been watching tape - throwing rising, half uppercuts to catch the shorter woman leaning in. Fishel driven to the ropes and beaten soundly at the bell - Dani woozy, shaking her head at the break.

R2: Dani with another good first minute, getting underneath Connelly and banging that gut, but once again, Jen lands a stinging hook on the left eye of Fishel, just squeezing it inside the guard to capture momentum. Dani covering up midring - Connelly reaches down the shorter woman's right side to dig home a couple withering hooks - Fishel stepping back with a deep breath - JC walking her down. Jennifer getting big on the ropes, chin on the top of Dani's head, fists seeking flank on either side, punching crisp, snapping hard off the stocky little body. Down the stretch, Connelly dips her shoulder and picks Dani's head up the clipping right uppercut - Fishel staring, takes the follow up hook flush and sags helpless into the ropes. Resounding beat down from Connelly at the bell - she's helping herself to Dani's thick midriff with both hands, has to be bodied off by the ref.

R3: Dani rockets off her stool, jabs Connelly to the chest and backs her girl up to open the third. Fishel working well off the stubby stick, stepping right, whistling in the hook tight to the left cheek, stepping left, drifting the sidearm right to the stomach, biting left in behind the elbow. Jennifer driven to the ropes - on her heels, she's much less effective - right hand tight on her cheek, left pushing and trying to get off without much success. Fishel WORKING up a storm, pulverizing right hands chopping again and again in under that left breast, clobbering double and triple hooks battering up and down Jen's left side, clanging against her chin, bouncing off her ribs and shoulder. Final minute - Connelly grimacing, trying to punch her way off the ropes and gets CLOCKED a right hand as she throws a weak right uppercut of her own. Dani follows up with a murderous barrage of hooks to the belly, crumpling the brunette forward in bad shape. Fishel getting her shoulder underneath, blocks Jen back and TURNS into a vicious hook on the jaw - head snap Connelly - JC goes out on her feet and pools to a seat at the ropes, slumping lifelessly to her side. Spectacular KO3 Dani Fishel.

After: Cat Bell up and out of her seat, clapping wildly - Fishel raised high on the shoulders of her cornermen - Dani unifying the title, winning the battle of hooks and attrition with a gritty but outgunned Connelly. Fishel taking a moment out of her celebration to console a shattered Jennifer Connelly in her corner - brunette distraught - trying to deal with a very, very expensive loss. "What a whirlwind this year's been!" Says a puffy, but beaming Dani Fishel, "but I'm not passing through - this is my division, these are my belts, and I'm digging in. Jennifer was strong tonight - she was shaking me with her punches, but I just feel like: if you stand in front of me, you are going to get hurt. When Jen and I get together, only one of us can shine because we both have to do the same things to win. Tonight, thank God, it was me."
