Before: Dani supremely confident, on one of the strongest rolls of her career, belt snug around her waist - she's bright and eager in prefight. "I've turned back the best boxers in our business," says Fishel, "Eliza's the icing on the cake. I don't want to line my title with cupcakes - I want to take the big names and that means defending against Dushku. She looks good, I'm sure she'll be sharp, but I have every intention of taking the belt back to Magnolia." Eliza with the discipline of episodic television keeping her in phenomenal shape - some speculate she might be coming in a little light against the fireplug. "Weight's not going to be a deciding factor against Dani - I don't body up on her much in our fights. The key to beating Dani is still boxing, despite her recent "success" in surviving against some skilled fighters. The difference between them and me, is that I'll be hurting Dani, backing her up and punishing her while I'm shining her up. That's something those other girls can't do and Dani's walking right through them." Fishel in teal sports bra, grey stretch cotton boy cut trunks - Eliza in red leather bikini. Dani grinning up at E during ring instructions, swaying side to side - Dushku frowning down, tracking the shorter pug with her eyes.

During R1: Three distinct battles. Dani negotiates Eliza to the ropes early, pounds her flanks, doubles off the body and clubs up around the head as Dushku maintains a tight blocking defense. Dushku opens up the canvas at the midway mark, jabbing, rolling away from Fishel right hands and countering with sudden, jarring rights on the mouth. Fishel finishes strong, jabbing to Eliza's chest, forcing her to the ropes and bashing away at the hips and arms with grinding intensity to the bell. Fishel grinning, nodding as Dushku scowls, pushes her way past.

R2: Dushku keeping her back off the ropes, pivoting left, stitching her jab into Dani's face. Classic Eliza D - jab positioning Dani for banging straight rights and clubbing hooks upside the head - Eliza hooking the body as she swivels to the left to keep Dani moving her feet. Steady work has Fishel's defence loosened up late - Eliza scores a banging right to slam back Dani's head, wobble her butt. Dushku tidying up, hooks Dani's ear, then DIGS hook behind elbow to draw a tight groan from her girl at the bell. Dani lumped up, dishelved as she gets words of encouragement in her corner.

R3: Fishel attacking with vigor, jabbing well tonight, thick and stubby, pushing Eliza ropeside. Fishel besieging Dushku - ripping rights and lefts to the waist, then sudden hooks to the ear. Eliza earmuffed up, calm - one flashy sequence sees her block a hook up high, counter flush a hook on the chops, block another hook, counter again - Dani getting caught clean in a crisp exchange. Dushku not busy enough overall however, staying on the ropes, giving up her ribcage - Dani hustles for points through 3.

R4: Shutout Eliza. Off the ropes, circling, it's a different fight. Dushku steering Dani with the jab, steadily pounding the left eye, fitting the right hands in - it's adding up. Fishel moving her head, but Dushku's punches ARE backing her up. Eliza not neglecting the body - she's getting that meanspirited hook in behind elbow with digging regularity.

R5: Spirited trade midring - Eliza trying to tag a bobbing Dani with short, stabbing right hands, Fishel weaving it and coming back HOOK TO CHOPS! Eliza's DOWN! Clipped clean and bounced off her backside - she's up quick, but woozy, sitting back into the ropes and waving Dani on in with a grim expression. All Dani Fishel, shoving and slugging with brutal efficiency. Fishel with her left shoulder and extended elbow pushing Eliza up, then hooking her ribs and tits, pushing up, then drifting in short rights to chin. Eliza shabby, but taking it - brunette head tossing from short, bludgeoning connects. Fishel loving it at the end, dazing Eliza with a hook pulled short across the face, then three beefy lefts to the thick of Dushku's jugs to leave the challenger shaken at the bell.

R6: Eliza countering well off the block, nailing Dani with hooks and blunt right uppercuts, but Dani's surging forward, driving Dushku into weary retreat. Fishel getting her face on Eliza, smothering her, shoving her to the ropes, setting her hips and ripping home body shots, clouting and clubbing upside the head in an effort to break down that tight guard. Strong consolidation as Dani finally wins back to back rounds - Syren wants uppercuts on the inside as Eliza's blocking the wide attack.

R7: Dani does as instructed, puts Eliza through hell this round. Body work really laying the foundation, poor Eliza taking a rip-roaring thumping as Dani tears to rib and gut, then Dani turns into tight uppercuts, slamming up through the guard, lifting up Eliza's drowsy head. Brunette's really lumping up, sitting hurt in the ropes, gloves steadfast at temples. Fishel keeping up a steady, non-stop barrage - howitzers pounding the defence, wearing it down. Dani paying an unusual amount of attention to Eliza's breasts, working them with hooks, then leaning in with her body to brace Dushku back - thick and sweaty work has the champ ahead after 7.

R8: Dushku gets a second wind, shows a lively leg as she ranges the ring this round. E sprucing Dani up with sudden lead rights on the button - Dani's face spanking back behind her mitts as she crouches forward, then Dushku's gone. Dushku continuing to dig at Dani's right side, taking something out of those curvy little legs, slowing the champ, putting hurt on her face. Final moments - Dushku staggers Dani a left uppercut off the hook in the waist - Fishel on her heels at the bell.

R9: Dushku blocks Fishel's hook high, answers a hook on the face, steps right, hooks that left eye, steps right, hooks it again - DANI'S HURT! Eliza cold-eyed as she keeps her gloves up, snaps off hooks and right hands, stepping right and hacking down on Dani's head. End of first minute - Eliza changes up, finally bringing a short, fishook left uppercut onto Dani's chin and squaring the champ's feet up. Fishel hurt, but refusing to buckle - she slugs back as she steps forward, brawling left and right crosses bashing Eliza back to the ropes. Dushku leaning back, guard high, ducking as Dani wings at the head, coming back with short, powerful left and right uppercuts on the chin - FISHEL'S FALLING APART! Eliza in deadly rhythm, slipping or blocking, then answering short and clean to the chin, checking it over and over again, bringing her hands back high as Dani winds down. Series of clipping connects finally has Dani staggering back on her heels - Eliza steps off the ropes with POUNDING rights and lefts at the walk! Dani taking off her face, stumbling straight back, getting nailed and FISHEL GOES DOWN! Eliza trampling over her fallen foe for good measure, then jogging to the neutral corner. Dani a pathetic sight trying to roll onto her side to get up, but she's DONE! KO9 for the winner and NEW champ - Eliza Dushku!

After: Robust slugfest one of the best between these two - both women savagely beaten at points, both lumped up and weary in the aftermath. No love lost here, but Eliza shakes Dani's hand in a show of respect: Fishel way ahead at the time of the stoppage, hurting and dropping Eliza - Dushku classy enough to acknowledge it. "I hate to admit it," says a bruised and sore Eliza in post fight, "but Dani is just a tough little nugget. I didn't want to be on the ropes that much, but there wasn't much I could do about it - Fishel's pressure is really kind of unique. Still, you know - too much class and toughness here. A lot of girls would have folded, but the Sheriff stands her ground you know? Besides, Claire the only HISC champ? That just didn't make any sense."
