Before: Manson with that Jill Matthews, wide brawling style takes on the more compact, straighter punching Williams. Shirley in black sports bra, black panties and fishnets--Michelle in white sports bra, light blue adidas terrycloth trunks.

During R1: Manson with that low, meandering left, high right look, chops with the right,
drags the left wide of Michelle’s body in an early collision mid  ring. Williams slowly getting the better of the tradings, bangs short right hands over Manson’s left, then bodies up to ride the singer’s chest with smothering tactics to the bell.

R2:  More of the same from Williams, but she’s getting Williams’ attention with those long lashing lefts from the waist line. Williams in retreat, grimacing as little Shirley twists into some burly hooks downstairs--Manson grinning as Michelle recoils frothe body work.

R3: Manson still coming forward, but Williams able to pick her up with counter shots from either hand. Michelle drifting Shirley routinely to the chin with the short right hand, as Manson refuses to change her approach, Slugging exchanges continue, but Manson unable to get off as Williams’ right pre-empts Shirley’s left.

R4: Williams consolidating her gains, mixes in the harsh left hook to the sternum, and Manson is forced into retreat. Michelle beats Shirley along the ropes, exposing the singer’s lack of defensive sensibility. Shirley getting clubbed, but often grinning after taking those hard right hands flush on the face.

R5: Manson with an early flourish, fades as Williams comes back at her slender body with withering lefts and rights, and by the midway point, Williams has Manson rag-dolled against the ropes. A brisk right hand on the mouth, left hand on the jaw has Shirley stunned, and Williams reloads to dig as hurtful left hook to the body, dropping Shirley to her knees for the 8 count. Manson looking shopworn, lays on the ropes as Williams muscles in--beat down follows, Michelle using her shoulder to shove Shirley back for those clubbing 2 fisted combinations inside.

R6: Williams walks through that lanky left hand to lean into a brutal short right hand to the chest, and Shirley staggers back a step before taking a seat. Manson up at 8, but looking shot, and Williams charges in. Savage beating all around the ring as Manson no longer able to fight back, but unwilling to quit--Williams accommodating, stepping with the doomed singer, pounding away at the face and body with a steady torrent of lefts and rights. Midway through he round, Manson seated ion the ropes, Williams standing up straight in front, chopping and propping her foe with punches, dragging the knuckles of one glove across the face of Shirley to set up the other hand. Manson finally goes down from sheer accumulation, and cannot continue. Methodical KO6 Michelle Williams.

After: Manson with a typically gritty effort, but all that heart unable to disguise lack of defensive skills, and predicable offense. Williams able to exploit the weaknesses with pressure and better mechanics, walking Shirley down and clubbing her out of the fight.
