Before: Feisty rivalry between these two more wholesome, well-intended than most stablemates. Neither has any secrets from the other, and fans know what to expect--just a constant work ethic from both girls until somebody folds. Red push bra and panties, white lace for Mish. Teal bra and panties, white lace for Dani, giving the bout a sort if “sleep over” feel.

R1,2: Unexpected bell to bell dominance from Dani Fishel as she beats the bejesus out of mish for 6 straight minutes. Pattern always opens midring, girls locking up shoulder to shoulder, then withering two-handed barrage about the breadbasket forces Mish to the ropes, Williams knows she can’t let Dani work her over at the ropes, so she looks to clinch--Dani shoving with her shoulder, trying to get off as much as she can before getting tied up--referee’s break restarts the action. Dani loving every minute of it--hair in her eyes, wild smiles and friendly taunts as she goes about her work

R3: Williams finally moving her hands, and the brawl meanders mid ring, girls leaning in one another, getting off with withering left hooks to the gut, palming or holding ion with the right, Back and forth rib-fest--neither girl giving much ground, but Williams busier, has a good final minute as Dani shuts down.

R4: Hammer and tongs--girls bodying up, taking tunrs, reaching under the opponent’s arms to hoist her onto her heels, then stepping in with digging hooks to the waist. All fun and games until someone gets hurt--and down the stretch--Fishel takes over with a sensational barrage of hooks, pounding Williams’ right side and folding the blonde over in pain. A spanking left uppercut pounds hard off the solar plexus and DOWN GOES MISH! Blonde on all fours, face distorted in agony--she beats the count at the bell and is HURTING in her corner.

R5: Dani licking her lips, confidently informs her corner “I’ve got her!”--marches out to finish woozy Mish. Williams fading to the ropes, arms crossed across her belly, leaning forward to keep her head on Dani’s shoulder as Fishel works. Dani squaring up, letting both hands go, dipping her shoulders as she hammers away at the protective arms about Mish’s midsection, and digging in behind the elbows. Williams rolling and bobbing, giving it up but in the final minute, Williams launches a staggering counter attack. Fierce brawling exchange at the ropes brings the crowd to its feet as Mish bends left and right, clocking Dani with wild swinging counter haymakers--Dani hacking short right hands and curling left hooks to the body and FISHEL GOES DOWN! Spanked to her back by a succession of crashing lefts and rights to her jaw--Dani blinking, rolls to her side, then to her knees and struggles to beat the 10 count. Williams piling on at the bell, tackles the hurting Fishel into the ropes, cuddles her with the left across the back while busting insane right hands up the gut--ref jumps in to pull her off as Dani swoons.

R6: Dani’s hurt, Mish takes over. Williams still with the low crossed arms stance, bodying up with her chin on Dani’s shoulder and walking Fishel back to the ropes, then pouring it on from bell to bell. Dani looking sleepy, gloves at her temples, twisting side to side as Mish works her over with ripping lefts and a hacking right hand that squeaks in past Dani’s left mitt to bite at the eye. Fishel getting ground down this round--Williams standing straight at the bell, nods as Fishel sinks to a seat on the ropes, eyes closed, exhaling heavily through pursed lips.

R7: Dani’s not done. Back at center ring, both girls leaning in on one another, arms crossed at the abdomen--they go shoulder to shoulder and take turns snapping little left hooks or clubbing right hands, always returning the arms to the folded position across their bellies. Meaty give and take an even trade until late when  Dani’s legs start to exert themselves--she’s shouldering Mish back, stepping into the void with a hook underneath, then bodying up to keep it going.

R8: continuation of the seventh, girls covered up low, leaning in on one another’s shoulders with their chins--punches are snappy, often one at a time as the girls seek to push and bull one another around the ring. Punching becomes progressively harder until finally, each is exploding single shot bombs in the other’s ribcage, then taking her medicine in turn. Close round--judges give it to Dani. Mish is reminded that head punches are allowed in her corner, to which she replies: “I want to make her quit to the body.” Strategy taking the night off.

R9:  Dani finally separates herself. Girls lean forward, touching foreheads, and Fishel rips up underneath with a gorgeous left uppercut to the body, doubling it as she shifts weight to her back foot to a clouting left hook on the jaw--a few of these combinations have mish stunned and taking. Fishel hungrily piling on, digs deeper  into Williams’ waist--Dani touching up with her left shoulder before torquing the hook into the girl’s tender side or midriff and Williams groans, takes a knee at the midway at 8, hurting, sinks to the ropes and waves Dani in, Fishel wading forward squares up on the defenseless blonde and goes right at her--wide swinging lefts and rights beat down the body--Williams gritting her teeth to take the 60 seconds of hell and she’s standing, but shot at the bell. Fishel grinning--she knows she beat hell out of Mish that round.

R10: Dani wading in to finish with a flourish. Mish meeting her with a rough shoulder butt in the chest midring, knocking Dani onto her heels, and a snapping follow-up hook DROPS FISHEL! Dani scooting to her butt, up quickly, but the ref gives her a standing 8 while he checks her eyes. Fishel shoving the ref out of the way, stampedes Mish to the ropes and has her taking the rest of the round, but Williams taking the punches well, cagily tieing up and holding Dani preserves the 10-8. Bell sounds as Dani wrestles and pushes for punching room at the ropes. Comes back UD10 Dani Fishel--she holds Mish’s taped fist high at the announcement--hugs all around for a scrappy effort.

After: Girls talking as press, entourages flood the ring--just another day at the office. Dani playfully kidding Mish about taking her for a walk--Williams says it’s “on” if she tries. No surprises in this one--all about sturdy torsos, short muscular arms and strong wills--Fishel once again proving it to Mish that she’s still the boss when it comes to this kind of fight.
