BEFORE: Long time Dani/Brit watchers see a marked decline in mutual respect between the two leading up to this fight: most blame Allison Mack's heavy involvement in Spears' camp as the bitter ingredient. "Mack's giving Britney a Dani-busting clinic in camp," says one BLONDE! Mag observer. "Allison's completely revamping Britney's approach to Dani, and that includes mental preparation. It's been a long time since we've seen Britney be this snarky, and it's probably due to Allison's zero-tolerance policy where Fishel's concerned."

Dani smells Mack's involvement, doesn't approve one bit. "It's just too bad that Britney is so impressionable," Fishel says at podium. "Mack is poison, but of course, Britney can't see that. We've always been tough competitors, but we've never been cheap or mean: I totally blame Mack for Spears' attitude shift, and the tragedy is that BRITNEY'S going to get the bill for it!"

Spears in yellow bikini; black gloves; hair in scruffy twisty-bun beach-look. Dani in gun-metal blue bikini; white gloves; hair in bouncy curls. Asked to touch 'em up, Britney cocks head to one side, crosses her arms and gives Dani a cold stare; Fishel grinning and nodding in acknowledgment.

During R1: Britney forced to ropes under heavy fire: she covers up earmuff, starts rolling-torso as Dani squares away. OH the beef! Dani shouting aloud as she twists herself torso-right to HEAVE home hooks to Brit's right-side lats. Pushing Britney into ropes, Dani shoves in rights to paunch, then buries hooks behind right elbow - beating Britney heavily in her body as Spears lounges ropeside. Spears heavy, relaxed, letting Dani work up a sweat: crowd screaming as Dani gets off with concussive force, smashing at biceps and ribs with either hand. Dani's stocky legs stamping when she reaches in to stack Britney - brawny shoulders writhing as brunette wrestles blonde guard apart to get at those breasts! Spears gritting her teeth, re-forming guard, or pulling Dani into buxom clinches: Fishel pushing and squirming - getting a shoulder in Brit's jugs when clinched and thrusting into Spears, compressing air out of blonde as ref moves in. Dani on Britney bell to bell: Fishel swarming the pocket, trying to reduce Britney on the spot; Spears just sitting in ropes, sponging it up, offering only clinches back as Fishel romps bell to bell. Dani jogging back to her corner, smacking high fives with her seconds: she gets 10 rounds like that, she'll win the fight, and give Spears a terrible beating in the bargain.

R2: Spears goes to ropes, kissing Dani a little pre-emptive right hand as Fishel's marching in, then laying back on ropes while gathering Dani in to clinch. Britney walking off ropes after break, taking midring: she's bending at the knees, widening her stance as Mack barks instructions from the corner. Dani wading in, fists curled into hollows of her cheeks: she's in seek-and-destroy mode. Spears issues stiff jab; bobs on the spot to slip Dani's vicious hook; hooks Dani's left eye in exchange; bobs on the spot while pivoting left, then LEAPING into Dani's chin via left uppercut from the knees! FISHEL GOES DOWN! What a blast - Britney hurling herself into Dani, blowing Fishel to her back...Dani all glassy eyed, rickety as she herky-jerks up off her back, getting to her feet shabby! Wonky 8, Dani Fishel...groggy brunette wades off ropes to give battle as Britney elects to stay midring rather than attack ropes. Spears sliding to her right, dragging that lead (left) foot - she jabs Dani's jugs, then slides to the side, vexing her foe. Fishel forward, hooking hard: Spears bending out of range, pivoting right, swiping Dani a right hand behind left ear that has Fishel stumbling. Spears patient, hopping forward in wide stance, jabbing Dani's body, then sliding to the right: Fishel blinking, trying to line Britney up, unable to pull the trigger. LEAPING RIGHT UPPERCUT, BRITNEY SPEARS! Spears lunging up out of low crouch, pouring herself into Dani's chin, then sliding by Fishel right flank and DANI GOES DOWN! Dani rolling to her back, arms slapping canvas up above her head...she's desperately hurt! Spears strutting hands-high, tummy, buns and jugs all jiggling with excitement at the sight of ruined Dani scraping herself off canvas. Swaying 8, Dani: Fishel groggily forward off ropes as smirking Britney waits at midring, sliding right while jabbing jug. Dani's hook whistles past as Spears leans out of range: Britney leans back in close, whacking Dani a savage sidearm right in the waist as girls get close. Sigh of pain, Dani: she folds forward, smote by one of the hard body-licks she's ever sustained - curvy legs holding her up as Britney knuckle-shoves Fishel's shoulders. Dani baby-stepping backward, trying to rally: hop-step Britney; deep crouch; then LEAPING LEFT UPPERCUT! Britney again converting all her mass into energy - elbow in tight to her hip as she drives fist-to-chin with no backswing, all leg...SPLASHDOWN, DANI FISHEL! Dani lifted off her feet, blown to her back - she starfishes on her back again, dazed in chin-shocked agony. Britney strutting hands-high - Allison clapping happily from ringside/corner - Fishel's face in stricken frown, eyes closed, mouth open in shock...IT'S OVER! KO2 Britney Spears as Dani can't get off her back.

After: Mack rushing in...she and Britney hugging and jumping just a couple feet away from fallen Dani...Fishel gurgling, helpless. Allison stripping away street clothes while Britney shucks her gloves...Neve, Jewel et al closing off the ring as depleted Foxfire forces realize to their horror that another extra-curricular assault is under way...and they've already been through hell tonight!

Mack in lavender bikini - Britney in yellow: Spears stoops, forming a stirrup with clasped hands as Mack steps her left foot into the pocket. Mack's hands on Britney's shoulders as Alli bounces on right leg; Mack's back to Dani...suddenly Britney catapults Mack up and back into the air! Mack twisting in mid air, face exultant...poor Dani only dimly aware, too hurt to move as Allison CREAMS her flat, belly to belly! KA-BOOM splash impact shakes ring - crowd roaring - exhausted Foxfire trying to rush in: Mack grinning smug, propping on her elbows, lying across Dani's torso just because it's warm there. Fishel in splash-shock, moaning, helpless.

Allison finally rises, scooting to Dani's feet: Allison hooking her arms in under Dani's knees while Britney pushes Dani's arms down against her sides. Poor Fishel moaning on her back, blubbering in KO'd daze...Britney primps around, then raises right leg and drops down heavily across Dani's heaving breasts, crushing the air out of Dani all over again. Brit rolling off Dani to plant on left knee - Spears with the big smile, nodding her head - Allison with the big smile as she tosses Dani's lifeless legs to one side. Beefy blondes rise, start broadjumping around like little hulks, landing close to Dani so the canvas-tremors shake the conquered brunette: oh the humanity. Fishel on her back, slowly crossing arms against her body, lips blubbering woozily as she slips in and out of consciousness. Foxfire taken in the rear as they're trying to push-through to the apron: Nolin, JMac, Pallicki pounding away with forearms to the stunned backs of Nichols, Winstead and Moore! Hayden squirting out to the side on hands-and-knees, avoids the jaws of the trap. Beth screaming at the Wiz; Wiz shrugging his shoulders all "this ain't me, baby!" - Frontstreet beauties going off the reservation somewhat - collective Dani-hate trumping all other organizational considerations as Fishel's left utterly destroyed in the ring!
