(piped in from GB)

Before: There's been entourage-confrontations in pubs; tank-top shoving episodes at conferences; at least one ugly arm-twisting incident between Hannah and Krirstin: American vixens refusing to tread lightly on this latest UK adventure. "Everyone knows the history between myself and Michelle," a taciturn Rachel says in prefight, small hands gripping podium fiercely. "She effectively ended my US ambitions. She humiliated me, and yes, she did dominate me in American rings. But Michelle Williams will find me a changed woman. I've rebuilt my career, grown my fan base, improved my reputation. I am not to be bullied in my own back yard, and Michelle Williams will NOT come over here and stand me down. Michelle Williams has crossed the Atlantic to find one thing, and one thing only: heartbreak. I will not be denied satisfaction in this fight - not on my own soil. Michelle will be resisted, broken down, and thrown back - this I swear!"

Williams rolling her eyes throughout, swaggering to the podium for rebuttal. "Oh my GOD - are you finished? I'm just going to make this brief and to the point," MIsh says - briskly stepping onto the Stevens side of the dais as Rachel's looking up in alarm: cracking right-hand slap claps Rachel's cheek - toppling her backwards onto the floor as security rushes in. Williams grinning as she's pulled off a whining, kicking Rachel: blonde sending her usual intimidator's message for all to see.

Rache in navy bikini with bra style top, full coverage bottoms and a stylized silver seahorse on left hip; small white gloves; frosted hair back in french twist. Mish in zebra print bikini with twist-tie top and bottoms; small black gloves; hair an unruly blonde tousle.

During instrux to touch up gloves - Mish's mitts 'skid' off Rachel's, plowing into Stevens' tidy jugs: Rachel swings in anger; fight delayed as fighters are separated.

During R1: Brisk, but professional action - both girls with dukes up, feet braced, looking to get position and work. Both tummies test early as girls swap left hooks: rich, thumping leather being dug home. Mish with a straight right hand/left hook up top: she pivots left after the hook, eyes bright with concentration. Stevens in earmuff crouch, bobs on the spot, comes up hooking Michelle's ribs: pleasing back and forth of determined punches early. Slowly but surely, it's Mish: Rachel increasingly keeping hands at temples, output dropping as Williams establishes heavy hands to paunch/waist; swinging right roundhouse to ribs; clubbing blows to ears/temples. Michelle pleasing in her aspect - occasionally sorting Rache out with a stiff jab - leaning in and out, twisting on her hips with thudding blonde punches. Mish brightening at the bell, winks at Rachel: Stevens scowling, obviously punched tender to her ribs in a heated first.

R2: Similar stuff: well-balanced vixens setting down on hard punches - each lass landing, but Mish landing more and moving Rachel around. Stevens scowling, occasionally wincing to bare her teeth: she's combative, but after heavy doses of Michelle to the ribcage, pretty Briton's obviously reluctant to let hands go. Williams boxing smartly, with discipline - but swinging with ferocious commitment when she gets off. Michelle more willful, coming forward as she pleases, getting the better of bruising, heartfelt trade through 2.

R3: Desperate Rachel tries for Michelle's rack - getting there with short lefts and swinging, fat rights early. Williams buffetted about, but answering in kind: savage volleyfire pounds at Rachel's jugs, beating that navy top into a frenzy. Stevens squealing in pain, covering up, backing away: Michelle forward all flared nostrils and blazing eyes. Mish taking advantage of Rachel's exaggerated forward lean to reef wide right and left hands in behind either British elbow - really whacking the beef tic-toc. Stevens wobbling away from these assaults ashen faced. All Mish - punching heavily, lustily, walking Rachel down. Stevens made to regret her first foray into Michelle's top, but told to 'keep at it' during the break.

R4: Rachel clearly breaking down - flat footed as she pushes in - but taking the early advantage with thudding hup-hup to Michelle's jugs. Williams grunting receipt, but banging back: tight-arc side to side wallop pounds at Rachel's biceps and breasts, soon beating Stevens into compliance. Rache pushed onto the defensive - she's stooping forward in earmuff, biting back shouts as Michelle swings away fat to ribs and tummy. Story of the second minute is MIchelle imposing her will: viciously trading with Rachel to beat down resistance - systematically stopping any Stevens aggression. Rachel muscled to ropes for first time: MIsh all a-grin as she squares away, initiating bump-n'-slug on a ragdoll brunette. Rache grimacing - badly jostled as Mish beats her waist and flanks, then bodies her upright to dig at paunch and jug. Constant blonde-on-brunette abuse putting Rachel wobbly butt: she's badly loosened, eyelashes fluttering as Mish just stacks and shellacks. MISHY WANTS JUG! Poor Rachel defenceless - she can't keep Mish out of there: blonde all a-jiggle as she crams away, thrusting straight, criss-crossing lefts and rights into plump British jug. It's all too much for Rachel: head lolling badly - body slumping awkwardly in ropes, hands easily punched out of the way by rampaging MIsh: ref steps in when it's clear that Stevens curvy legs are just holding her up for extra leather. TKO4 in brutal fashion - Mish Williams.

After: Williams roaring, pushing against official to let woozy Rachel hear all about it. Enraged Hannah Spearritt jumps-to, pushing MIsh, but getting intercepted and berated by Kris. Pandemonium as blubbering Stevens is taken to her stool while HISC bullies stomp about: it's every bit the statement Michelle wanted to make. "Mission - Freaking - Accomplished!" Mish shouts into a mic, earning cascading boos from furious anti-Mish crowd. "Love that she came at me - can always count on Rachel to make things easier for me. She's one of the most considerate bimbos I've ever put boot to ass on. All I can say is it's gonna get even better from here. I'm pumped - Rachel's deflated, and honestly? I think I'm gonna rule with iron fist over here!"
