Before: Claire’s been a disappointment,” Alyson reveal in preflight. “She hasn’t been all that supportive if me. I thought after a couple of defenses for HISC, she’d have my back--she’d come to accept me as a peer, but after I battered Mish, all I got from Claire was a ’yeah-but-you-didn’t-beat-me’ attitude. In retrospect the first thing I should have done after Mish  was bring Claire in line as well. With all of us on the same page, HISC could control the flyweight belts indefinitely. You’d think these girls would realize that without me having to put my foot on their throats.” Danes frosty her side of the dais--no joking around in these press conferences. “This won’t be a chess match,” Claire promises--Alyson silently nodding in agreement, staring solemnly at the table-top. “Mish and I didn’t spare the lash, and neither will Alyson and I: we’re going to hurt each other. I’m not going into that HISC with a bowed head: I’m taking those titles away from Alyson, and I’m putting her in her proper place.; She’s definitely proven to me that she belongs at HISC, no question, But I’m leader of the pack, and there was no way she was going to be able to avoid this fight forever.” Girls shake hands immediately after Q&A--both cold-blooded professionals--nobody’s wasting any precious energy on preflight hysterics for this one. Claire in stunning midnight blue string bikini, Alyson in lime green string bikini. Both vixens opting or small leather work out gloves.

During R1: Unusually intense from the get-go--no feeling out or maneuvering as girls close behind tapping jabs, crouch in shoulder to shoulder and trade heartless licks toe-to-toe. Ready positions are fists tight at cheeks or brows--short, sharp, clipping blows flowing forth in tidy combinations, then reforming guard before the harsh reprisal. Small mitt rip-snatching of taut tummy meat--both girls tearing up belly with surprising vigor. Hannigan just a touch stronger in steady give-and-go--Claire being eased back, pushed around just a smidge as Alyson bangs out no-nonsense points in the first.

R2: Same again, girls leaning into each other with tight facial guards elbows in, looking to lick and dig at close quarters. Both snatching at flank-ribs, looking ton start sequences in belly, then creep up-torso. Firm jugg rudely chugged as both girls get off in rapid 3s and 4s. Midway through, Hannigan with some deft left hand work--picking Claire up the left uppercut, then tucking her hard to liver--Alyson stepping back in good order starts lighting Claire up with authority, shutting down blonde offense. Danes staggering forward behind her mitts, lips parted--Hannigan getting some glorious slashing hooks across the waist, then packing in a shoving right flat to stomach, occasionally splitting Claire’s mitts via uppercuts from either hand. Constant, withering assault eventually forces Claire to ropes: she’s stunned, ragged from the beating and HANNIGAN’S GOING ALL-IN! Claire’s stooped forward woozy, not answering back--Alyson grunting as she lays strapping hooks into Claire’s firm tummy, bats either fist against Claire lats and ribs and DANES GOES DOWN! Hannigan stepping back, blowing an errant red curl out of her eyes, chest heaving--Danes panting, trembling on all fours absorbs the fight’s first serious shellacking for a 10-8.

R3: Shutout Alyson Hannigan. Aly rolling Claire up on all fronts--jabbing to fix position, going directly to body with stuffing rights and lathering lefts, then guarding up o Danes to bump her back/work her over with clouting combinations in tight. Hannigan with little shoulder-bumps or palm-shoves for room, then stepping into the Danes midsection with rip-snatch hooks: some of the best body work of Alyson’s career coming at Claire’s expense, Claire cuffed and buffeted all around the ring: she’s sitting in ropes, tilting forward mute; she’s walking away from Alyson opens up and lathers at offered back and flank.  Danes shook by an accumulation of snatching body leather, but Alyson also scraping jagged uppercuts on the inside: Danes lumping up nicely as Alyson’s finding Claire very available through 3.

R4: Danes erupts at the minute mark, punching Hannigan into stupor with a glorious, limber-limbed flurry of lefts and rights: Hanni covering up hurt behind her mitts, stooping forward midring, trying to fall in and smother. Claire won’t have it--stepping back to keep her distance and walk Alyson onto vicious, rising lefts and rights up into the body--merciless hup-hup shows Alyson the canvas as she sputters to all fours,  momentarily breathless. Shaky 8 Hannigan--Claire pouncing, riding the guard into Aly to stack, then shrug-chugging away. Danes clipping her shots, ringing Alyson up at the temples, punching her face back via uppercuts, dipping-and-ripping hooks beneath Alyson’s elbows: it’s controlled savagery the likes of which we rarely see from Claire. Persistence rewarded--Poor Allison lolling helplessly behind her mitts, legs paralyzed--she soaks a dreadful lathering before she sinking deliberate to her right knee, swaying in the wind. Danes breathless, staggering back open-mouthed from her own efforts: Hannigan hollow-yed, bleeding from the nostrils--this thing starting to take on last-woman-standing overtones as both girls forced to well early.

R5: Hannigan rallies. First minute a more traditional approach by Alyson--jabbing at Claire’s guard and face, stepping left, looking to dart off the angle, then step back out. But boxing gives way to slugging as Hannigan has some right-handed success to Claire’s chin--redhead deciding to wriggle in close, push Danes to ropes and work her over. Danes silent but for breathy whimpers. And muted groans as she covers up peek-a-boo, rolls and writhes her mitts: Hannigan strapping in lavish hurt to the waist and hips, bumping with the left shoulder/extended left elbow to ease Claire upright into the ropes. Big banging shutout--Hannigan strong on Claire bell to bell, send blonde back o her corner cut inside her lower lip and busting up.

Danes/Hannigan title bout conc.

R6: Girls in looser stances now, feet unsteadier, wider--they reach to brace each other with open left hands; they tie up more, trying to body each other off balance; open-mouths rest wet against shiny shoulders. First minute--Claire palming Hannigan’s right bicep with he left hand, chopping at Aly’s face with short overhand rights or plugging Aly’s body rising right--ringing hacks pound Aly slack jawed early. DROPPING HER TO ALL FOURS! Hannigan distraught, head bowed--she struggles up off her knees yet again, staggering into the ropes to rally. Deep breath, Claire: she wades in with dukes at cheeks, reaching the left to brace, before piling in all big-girl with the right hands. Hannigan firming--she swipes back in controlled fashion, chopping and swatting in brisk one-twos off the ropes, dipping her torso side to side with the punches, chiseling away on Claire’s face ass blonde stubbornly forces the front door. Fight becomes a mindless punching contest as Danes won’t back off--both girls opting for short, straight lefts and rights in brisk chopping bursts, pounding back one another’s faces. Hannigan on her heels, getting less on her punches, steadily being battered and ALYSON FALLS APART! Wheels falling off as Hannigan visibly reels, head bouncing back from Claire’s ring-a-ding-dong tapping and ALYSON’S DOWN AGAIN! Bell: ref pushing Claire back as a precaution to enforce break--girls staring in wonder at one another, taking in the swelling features, glassy eyes, shambling gaits--but Claire’s the fresher beauty through 6 blistering heats.

R7: Ramshackle vixens stagger to midring, greet each other with hoisted right hands to pain-wracked bellies before falling into a now-familiar cuddle. Tousles grind, shoulder run and jostle. They push in close, then look to ease back just enough to get room to rip underneath. Claire more useful with her uppercuts--getting left uppies off her left foot, rights off her right--Hannigan starting to get routinely picked up, staring back glassily upon receipt, Alyson hurt early, but bravely slugging her way through it--Danes can’t really apply finishing force as Hannigan’s hook is finding too much body, too cleanly, Both girls reaching in and around each other but not tieing up--it’s more a leverage tactic as both girls are committed to working. During the break, Claire bursts into spontaneous tension-release tears on her stool: trainer saying nothing, just tending to her ribs, letting her get it out.

R8: Hannigan really beating it out of Claire this round: Danes staggering into ropes under a determined assault of straight right hands, blonde never gets off the apron as redhead applies stifling pressure, Alyson carving on stooped-over Claire via the right uppercut--picking up Danes’ face off her gloves again and again, little jerking shots. Hannigan applying punches in sheets, clubbing Danes’ biceps and shoulders with a loose, side to side swatting; stuffing up into midnight-blue jugg; scraping at ribs; tearing up tummy, Hannigan breathing hard, resetting on Claire with brawny shoulder-presses and body-leverage--redhead eyelashes fluttering: Danes eyes usually closed as she lolls semi-conscious behind her mitts just willing her body to absorb Alyson’s punishment.

R9: Claire quickly on top with a series of rigid jabs, leans in with a cracking right to chin/hook to forehead combo that has Hannigan rattling backwards into ropes again. Brutal dog-eat-dog continues--Claire squaring up more Mish than Danes--butting her head in between Hannigan’s mitts, chugging repetitively at the breadbasket, leaning back to get uppercuts at regular intervals. Pushing and mauling--Claire using her head, palming at Alyson’s arms to hold her down. Hannigan gritting her teeth, tucking back into Claire at close range--blonde tummy not getting away unscathed in this brutal, uncompromising infighting. Hannigan leaning back into ropes to scrape left uppercuts: Danes getting hit plenty by that punch, head torquing hard, but she’s taking it well--Claire actually absorbing shots to maintain position and scouring pressure on her foe, rather than slipping and allowing Hannigan room to breathe.

R10: Both girls getting assisted up off heir stools catapulted to feet by respective trainers--weary battlers shamble into closer quarters, begin digging anew as they fall into one another’s limp embrace. Both girls open-mouthed, eyes half shut--they reach to touch at each other, then slug with what hate they have left, lifting punches up from waist level to bump tummy, crack ribs and chin. Wobbly-butt staggering as they fall in and clinch--ref slapping at loose limbs to disengage the girls: they punching mindlessly, aimlessly. Danes trudging forward, swiping her fists back and forth in a drubbing shoeshine against Alyson’s open-lips late--Hannigan hit’s the ropes forlorn, unable to stand her canvas against hated blonde, Claire to the bell--exhausted, but working--pushing moist lefts and rights into Alyson’s tummy: Hannigan slumping into the ropes, riding her left hand behind Claire’s head for support, even as blonde digs at redhead dregs. Bell: Danes still kneading at Alyson--Hannigan blubbering incoherently, sitting there taking until the ref pulls Claire away,. Comes back UD10, Claire Danes.

After: Fight of the Year candidate the most savage flyweight dime since Hewitt/Gellar ‘05: brutal, non-stop lather-in-a-phone booth-type bout batters both beauties unrecognizable. Hannigan swaying at the announcement as though stunned afresh: numb tears push down swollen cheeks as realization of the defeat hits home. Jubilant tears on Claire’s cheeks: uncharacteristic barn burner for the blonde as she gets in Hannigan’s wheelhouse, applying withering pressure much of the night in a big not just for titles, but for HISC gym supremacy. Mish Williams standing--happiest blonde in the house0-whistling with fingers in her mouth, applauding like a maniac: Li’l Mish might be the big winner on the night with these two HEAPING the punishment onto one another. Hate triangle clearly drawn at HISC: Hannigan took the belts from Mish; Claire swiped hem from Alyson--no one girl has really out her foot down on the other two at this point.
