BeforeL jury former champs--pivotal positioning battle. “Mishy’s guarding Kristin,” bell shrufs, “if I want to get back in with Kreuk, I need to punch my way through Mish--simple, I’ll be looking to hurt her--she’ll be looking to hurt me--this is going to be a great fight, and it’s an important fight for both us.” Williams in agreement with the significance of the fight. “big fight,” Mish nods, “no question. You could probably argue that Kristen and I are the two best all-around fighters in the division--it’s definitely a gun slinging match up. Bell’s still licking her wounds from some tough losses--I think I’m catching her at a good time. I’ve got the momentum coming in, and I’m gonna use it to roll right over this girl!” Mishy in zebra print bikini with twist tie top and sides; small black workout gloves. Kbell in pale blue and white squiggly-print; small white workout gloves; feisty beach ponytail with messy bangs.

During R1: Mish misses a right hand over the top as Kris slips under, hooks liver, pivots to her left. Sudden one-two startles Mish: Kris edges in close, rips a tidy left uppercut bingo on the chin, putting Williams on her heels. Pinpoint combinations continue--Bell stepping in off her jab--dotting Mish tic-tac-toe--pivoting away from the receipt. Williams hurt time and again--often by the last punch in any combinations be it the hook or right hand checking Mishy’s chin. Final minute--Mishy firms, engaging Kris in spirited two-way body-blow action--both girls chugging away hup-hup-hup. Williams creeping up-torso with short curve lefts and rights--Bell backs up from the heat, takes a right on her chin and SITS DOWN! Kris scooting to her rear--she scrambles up quickly, but has a great first round stolen right out from under her by hamhanded Mish.

R2: Kristen shakes off the knockdown--gets back to what was working, Stiff jab--Kris stepping in with it--knocking back Mishy’s head. Brisk combinations: Kris churning at Mishy’s chest and chin--tidying her clockwise. Williams getting touched up, but still aggressively forward, punching-with and labeling Kris he odd swinging clout. Fresh, crisp. In-and-out work--Bell dictating, but Mishy slugging for respect at all times.

R3: Kris works her way in off a jamming one-two--dips her left shoulder, chips the six-inch left uppercut to chin and MISHY SITS DOWN! Picked up quick n’ clean--Williams on her rump, sitting up blinking pretty, mouth open in shock. Mish up at 8, shaking her tousled head: she’s buzzed, digging in at apron to await Kris.  Bell quickly to her blonde: ringing burst to breadbasket creeps up-torso to work Mishy’s infamous top: rising lefts and rights clap away at Williams’ breasts as Mishy swoons against ropes. Williams recovering, answering: she’s thick about Krissy’s middle via swinging right hands--then looking to chin check Bell wih rising lefts and rights off the hips. Spirited stuff--Kris avoiding the worst of it, taking only what she has to, in order to stay atop Mishy and tattoo her in kind. Bell SO effective off that front (left) foot--leaning in on it, clipping away very concise chopping rights, left hooks, left uppies on a dazzled Mish.

R4: Early exchange--Mish steps back, walks Kris into a rising right: quick left-left-right follow up (curling blows up off the waist) double-up on Krissy’s chin, stunning her. With Kris open-mouthed and bleary-eyed, Mishy clubs away overhand rights--trying  beat Kris down onto a rising left to chin. Kris clobbered on her face, punched out of her stance--she’s staggering, staring here--unable to respond. Mishy presses--swinging lusty at Kristen’s ribcage or skull--little HISC grinning as she loads up/gets off. Mishy’s zebra-print bottoms ringing triumphantly as she steps forward with successful punching; Kristen’s buttocks slumping in answer as her legs stumble for balance-points. Middle minute a series of healthy body shots an near-misses up top as bell staggers around, trying to collect herself. Williams cruising in pursuit when she misses an overhand right, eats a digging counter-hook to the body as Kris slips in underneath. Kris pivots-left off the body-strike--jabbing Mishy up top; Kris drills a straight right to mouth, freezing Mish; short left hook toggles chin and SITS MISHY DOWN! Williams on her rump again--face confused and woozy--she shakes her tousled head in astonishment. Bell snarling, eyes blazing as she stalks past:: she’s just stolen a good Mishy round to answers Michelle’s thievery in the first.

R5,6: Girls on their toes, bouncing in their stances, they come together, churn and step apart--each keeping her punches short, crisp and in-combination. Bell raking Bell in her ribs with both dukes, then checking her jaw via right-hands as bell withdraws, Williams showing the ability to punch-with Kris here: Bell’s  got the quicker mitts and more precise punches--but Williams almost as fast and definitely heavier handed. Thrilling exchanges see both girls get off and score--but its usually Mish coming forward afterward as Kbell uses the ring to regroup herself. Close, spirited fighting: even Mishy haters come away with new-found appreciation of Williams’ skill as she keeps pace with--and gets the getter of--Kristen in these rounds.

R7: Bell changing tack--using a bit more leg, stepping around her jab to turn Mishy midring, Clockwise rotation--Hard-eyed Kris spot-checking in the Williams rack with fierce, pumping jab and surprising straight right hands. Determined, methodical jug-mugging discouraging Mish: she’s starting to keep her hands up, reining in now, With less pressure from Mish--bell able to open up the playbook: swinging left hooks dig at Michelle’s liver; left uppercuts split Mishy’s mitts--Bell pivoting away from receipts, Williams reduced to single-shot responses--clouting bell about her head and shoulders but not enough to win back initiative as Kris imposes will. HISC trainer tightens Michelle’s top-knot during the break--just as a precaution.

R8: Mish lowering her head, swinging right/left roundhouses at Kristen’s slender hips, waist and ribs: Bell driven backward, lips parting in complaint as Williams powers forward. Very little clinching or action-breaks: when the girls aren’t moving for position, they’re working, Michelle’s aggression forces more action along the apron: bell unable to turn Williams’ flanks--laying in more often shoulder to shoulder, dippin’-n’-diggin’. Girls fighting with dukes up. elbows in--snappin’ and snatchin’ tidy. Michelle bashing out points, getting it done old-school: she’s pumped, grinning en route to her stool for the break.

R9: Is Mish breaking Kristen down? Williams again forcing Kris to the perimeter with a walking-barrage of body blows, then setting up on bell shoulder-to-shoulder. Kris grimacing as she works in close--staying covered up, digging with Mish--but clearly no as vigorous as Michelle, Middle minute--Williams separates herself--hurting Kris with right/lefts strapped across the waist, then finally breaking Bell’s form with right hands upside the head. Kris swooning to the ropes, eyes glassy, guard broken she narrowly escapes underneath a looping Mish right--scrambling to midring and going into full retreat. Bell hopping away, lips don turned: she’s hurt, can’t take any more follow up shots--does a GREAT job of shaking pursuit to the bell, Michelle lifting her mitts, strutting back to her corner: she’s feeling it.

R10: Mish quickly across the ring--stomp-feinting Bell, then easing back as Kris tries to toe up: Mish luring her foe forward, then battering her with rising lefts and rights, Kristen stumbling--arms outstretched for Mish: Williams turning Kris, stepping-right around the clinch--curling right and left uppercuts through time and again to chin. Krissy stunned, staring--head jerking violently as Mishy’s ringing up points: bell stumbles away in confusion--eats a glorious, sweeping right cross to jaw, head-swivel Kbell--she’s out on her feet before crashing to her back--KO10 Michelle Williams.

After: Williams crowing--she’s busted up from the constant ratatat of Krissy’s penetrative fists--but Williams too strong to be denied, best win for Mish in a long time--she comes off the canvas, withstands a fierce jug-mugging to finally break Kris with relentless pressure. Pack-right claimed as soon as Kristen’s semi-alert and Mishy’s wiped herself off: Williams all grins as she strides the canvas to help herself. Poor Kris: great effort tonight ends with a lengthy series of corner-mounts as HISC beauties take turns dominating bell with fists in her hair and tummies pushing her face aside, Williams double-dips--moving in after everyone’s already had a go to shove Kris face-first in the turnbuckles, mounting her from behind. Mish glowing as she looms above Kristen--hands on Bell’s shoulders, or pulling at her damp locks: Williams really taking a moment to exult in this one.
