Before: Doherty anxious to erase embarrassment at fists of Bev Mitchell - Shan looking to the wolfpack as her route back on top. "Hannigan's just the first step," says the always confident Shannen. "Eliza and I have unfinished business, and I'd like to take a crack at Claire's chin while I'm at it, and when I'm 3-0 against the 'pack, why wouldn't I get a title shot against Mish? Most girls wouldn't look at HISC as a meal ticket. I do." Alyson suddenly placed in the position of being first line of defence - little bit of pressure on Hannigan to send a stern message to Doherty. "I'm not aware of any negotiations between HISC and Shannen, but I do know this," Alyson quitely affirms at the dais. "I saw a broken down hasbeen show her ass to Beverly Mitchell, and that's not going to get it done against me. If Shannen's serious about taking us all on in sequence, she's looking at the end of her career here." Shan in black off=the=shoulder bikini, ring connections, tan suede boxing moccasins, small black workout mitts. Hannigan in red bandeau bikini - wide top, low-rise boy cut bottoms - small black workout mitts - tan suede boxing moccasins.

During R1: Shan showing left at her hip, right at her chin, hop-stepping forward, lifting jab up off her hip. Hannigan dukes up elbows in, weight on front foot as she tilts forward, then steps out, circles right. Shan's jab snappy and stiff, but Hannigan's quicker off the shoulder: Alyson routinely outjabbing Doherty in early negotiations. Hannigan's left hand technique tidy as always - nice little hooks-off-the-jab taking Shannen in her ribs PIK! PAK! Both girls choosy with the right hand - neither taking any chances in a tactical first. Hannigan's committment to Doherty's body takes the points.

R2: Doherty being tall with Alyson - tilting a little to the right while lifting the up-jab into Hannigan's guard, sliding back in hopes of walking Aly into the slinging right hand. Hannigan respectful - when she does come forward as invited, it's behind a spitting double-jab: she does NOT want to taste Shan's power. Nibbling body work from Hannigan in spots - digging dutifully at Shan's right side for the most part. Down the stretch, Doherty retreating to ropes looking to lure Hannigan: Alyson pounce-steps inside Shan's jab, hooking the taste out of Doherty's mouth en route. Doherty startled, sitting awkwardly into ropes: Hannigan able to burst a flurry against willing jug and staring face - pasting Shan for points late.

R3: Doherty abandoning guile to be the enforcer in there - stepping-strong behind her jab, now leaning into right hands as Hannigan fades and sidesteps the pressure. Doherty very menacing here - plenty of slinging zip on that right hand, chasing Hannigan back out of range. Alyson showing versatility - she's on her toes, hopping the perimeter, not letting Doherty set her feet. Doherty the aggressor, stalking her girl for points: Hannigan still getting her body touches in like she's filling a quota each and every round.

R4: Hannigan timing Shannen beautifully, exposing Doherty's loose form on occasion. Alyson's feet nimble and educated - outclassing Shan to some extent as Hannigan establishes angles off either Doherty shoulder, whenever HISC vixen chooses. Hannigan spitting jabs - her poke lacking the heft of Shannen's, but it's more accurate and useful - constantly spanking against Shan's face, robbing her of initiative. And Hanni's banging that body - really showing the benefits of having an Eliza Dushku in camp. Sweet, stepped-in right hands sidearm and thick to paunch; cunning hooks-off-the-jab tucking into Doherty's rightside ribs; tic-toc right/lefts hard against flat waist as Shan's covering up from against Hannigan's jab. Final minute: definite signs of wobble in Shannen's trunks - she's a little discouraged, broken down a little bit as Hannigan works a very methodical bell to bell shutout.

R5: Hannigan so efficient, no telegraphing, quiet hands and feet until she wants something, then it's quick and spiteful delivery. Doherty a little more extravagant - more facial expression - looser limbs - she's dangling that left hand, hopping and sliding around more, trying to get Hannigan to bite on feints. MIdway through, Alyson finally missteps - coming forward and getting caught a licking counter-hook lanky off Doherty's thigh - Shan IMMEDIATELY over to offense, lunging in with a sloshing right cross to PUT ALYSON ON THE CANVAS! Hanni able to roll with it as she's leaning back, but she's still swept to her back - shaky 8, Alyson as Doherty paces the neutral corner. HERE COMES SHANNEN! Doherty snarling, stepping into Hannigan with a cruel, lariat right hand swept hard to breadbasket: Alyson bites down on a scream of pain as face twists up behind her mitts. Savage, lashing beatdown: real gut check for Hannigan as she simply covers up and suffers to the bell, willing herself to stand against Shannen's fury.

R6: Doherty a little arm weary, a little sloppy - Hannigan going to the body with brisk, right/left urgency - slugging hot little gasps past Doherty's parted lips. Shan grimacing, legs betraying her - she comes forward and eats in systematic succession: A short, lead right hand on the teeth; a tidy, biting counter-hook as Aly's shifting to right (back) foot; another left hook batted off Hannigan's back foot; a thick right hand tossed sidearm against Doherty's waist; a gouging dip-n'-rip left hook dug hard behind Shan's right elbow; the shortest of right uppercuts nipped clean to chin as Doherty's stumbling forward and DOHERTY GOES DOWN! Shannen bleak, staring on all fours, mouthpiece on the canvas in between her hands - SHE'S OUT ON HER KNEES! Doherty all used up KO6 - truly pathetic sight watching her trying to rally off her hands and knees.

After: Wolfpack descends - first to hug and pat at beaming Alyson, then to exact tribute from a shellshocked and bitterly disappointed Shanny D. Doherty not used to being on the receiving end of this kind of thing: stacked up in her own corner as HISC vixens mount the ropes one after the other, twisting strong little hands into long, sweat-damp black locks. Shannen's unhappy face smeared to the right as one oppressive tummy after another gets on top of her - HISC women clapping, prancing around as each makes her statement. No tears shed for Doherty - she's been a notorious bully her whole career. Still, it's hard to watch an FCBA stalwart get her pride stripped away like this by hungry 'packers.
