Before: Alyssa one aging fighter who's seen the light: she's committed to extending her career through more boxing and less banging - comes in off the biggest win of her career over Salma Hayek to prove it. "I left Salma in the dust," boasts a beaming Milano, "Salma Hayek. What's Dani gonna do when I start scootin' and shootin'? I was too much for Dani when we fought toe-to-toe (slide appears showing Alyssa burying her left hook into Dani's floating rib - recalling that stunning body shot KO victory over Fishel) now that I'm using my legs, using my head? It's no contest. I'm la matadora - she's just another bull." Dani refusing to be baited - she's as focused as she's ever been for this fight. "Look, I gotta tell you: I was impressed with what Alyssa did to Salma. I don't think Hayek got a very good scouting report on Milano for that fight and I'm not about to make the same mistake. I know Alyssa's trying some new things, but I want to assure my fans that I'm ready for them. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a cocky, resurgent Alyssa Milano. I'm stamping her out now, before she gets completely out of control." Dani in sporty navy bandeau bikini with big baby blue polkadots, supportive bra straps, white shoes/socks, long punching ponytail with messy bangs - Alyssa short brunette tousle wet, pea green bikini top (bra strap style), white bottoms, white shoes and socks. Alyssa taunting Dani during ring instructions - "Can't touch this!" while referee's talking.

During R1: Alyssa showing off her legs, circling at the scoot to her left, much more movement than she needs or than is productive. Fishel stalking, chin tucked, alternating dukes from chest to eyebrows as she stomps to spots, jabs, bobs at the waist, whittles down the ring. End of first minute - Milano grinning, retreats to ropes turns to face right as she backpedals to her left - Dani lunges in with a drifting right over AM's left shoulder and DROPS MILANO TO HER BACK! Thunderous, chopping knockdown - Dani batting her mitts together with a big smile, bouncing to neutral corner - Alyssa shaking her head in astonishment, scrambling up at the ropes and taking 8: brand new legs looking shabby. ON COMES DANI! Fishel barrelling into Milano, pancake tackling her to ropes - moment's worth of jostling - then ferocious slugging as Dani sets feet, tears it up. Dani very, very busy - constantly bobbing low in front of Aly, bumping her a shoulder, double palm-shoving her tuff - Dani operating out of a relaxed crossed arm for the most part - occasionally bringing both hands to her cheeks when she leans in. Constant buffetting of Alyssa's arms, chest, ribs - Dani belting away uppertorso to set up withering, beefy hooks to waist - just a-TUGGING on that gut! Milano groaning, grimacing as the harm piles up. Alyssa jolted and jostled into ropes, covering up earmuff, covering up crossed arm - she's trying to lean back into the ropes and find Dani with the uppercut, but Fishel doing a good job keeping her head to one side or the other defending her weakness very well in the first. Bell: Dani aglow with a punishing shutout barks - "Those new legs come with a warranty 'Lys? They're not looking too good!" Milano frowning, sputters a limp "Shutup!" in response - she's achy to her stool.

R2: Alyssa trying to get into her prancing footwork rhythm, but all that bodywork in the first still lingering - plus Dani's full-body tackle to open the second sort of hampers the plan as Milano's crushed into the ropes. Dani up out of the bundle punching - she's in close, reaming Milano right hands to the body and hip as poor AM tries to cover up her ribs. Alyssa pouting, hands together at her chest, elbows in - she's just trying to take away her torso - Dani happy to hammer biceps and hips if she can't get in clean on torso and tummy. Fishel settles down in second minute action - taking the time to squirm her arms in under Alyssa's to ease brunette upright into the ropes, then pounding jugs and tummy with clean, clubbing blows - Milano gurgling, drooping, breaking down. Good thick beat down: Dani's mitts detonating off Alyssa's torso, shoulders and skull - Fishel bringing her hands back, constantly bobbing and weaving, bumping and shoving when she's not getting off - she may as well be sharing Alyssa's bikini she's so in there. Milano going groggy, eyelashes fluttering, lips parted - she's sullen, sleepy as creeping paralysis spreads through her limbs, knees locking up at the ropes - more and more she's just drooping forward and soaking. Right uppercut Dani: Alyssa's head and torso lurch back into the ropes, hands at her waist - she's a staring ruin as DANI GOES ALL IN! Shattering hook flat on the jaw swivels Alyssa's head, renders her limp and helpless and DANI'S TAKING EXTRA! Fishel propping with a right in Milano's chest, then cranking her lolling head hooks - Alyssa getting ragdolled, shelled into stupor. Alyssa finally bludgeoned to canvas - she sprawls on her side, rolling to her chest deep in KO slumber - Dani stomping and hollering in exultation as ref bundles her back. Thunderous KO2 - Dani Fishel.

After: Milano's new legs are the right way to go against Dani, but Fishel just wouldn't allow them to be a factor tonight. "I was not going to chase her all night," Dani affirms in postfight, white towel about her neck - she's sweaty, but virtually unblemished. "She was too cocky, she really didn't think I could get to her, but after the first round was over I told Syren - 'I can stop her'." Tractorpull wants to know about all those finishing hooks - overkill? Dani grins, "There's no such thing as overkill when you're fighting Alyssa Milano. I'd say I applied just the right amount of kill tonight!"
