Before: Combs the forgotten member of the Charmed stable - when she's not refeering the constant quarrelling between her two more celebrated castmates, she's often on the receiving end of brutalizing sparring sessions from them that often leave Holly as badly beaten as the real thing. Hard sparring a controversial technique, but it's left Combs tougher than expected and although Mish favoured, she can't underestimate the most limited, but pluckiest of the little witches. Mish in black french maid push up, white lace, black velvet boy cut trunks - Holly Marie in royal blue sports bra, grey stretch cotton shorts to mid thigh.

During R1: Mish confidently bodying up, bulling Holly to the ropes and beating her down as Coombs slides to right. Face on face mugging, just the way Williams like it - Combs' sturdy little body spasming as Williams sinks in the first of many, many punches to come. Down the stretch, Holly twisting into single shot counters comes up with a beauty: beating Mish to a left hook on the jaw - blonde's head torques viciously to the side and WILLIAMS IS HURT! Combs muscling the woozy blonde into the ropes, clubs a few short right hands to the jaw as Michelle sits in a daze on the middle strand - ref steps in to halt the carnage at the bell - Combs steals the round with stunning power late.

R2: Mish shakes it off, spends a minute breaking Combs down midring as the girls hunker in shoulder to shoulder, then its blonde walking brunette to the ropes, reefing left hands to the belly, right hands swatting in behind the elbow or chopping at the jaw to the bell. Combs getting clocked, stands in bravely to take, crossing her arms, but giving Williams perilously little in the way of evasive movement. Mish working her brunette over well this round, struts back to her corner all smiles.

R3: Another toe to toe, smash mouth round of fighting - Williams just the stronger, busier girl in the trenches. Combs can trade hooks in spots, but for the most part she crosses her arms, leans forward and takes a bashing bombardment to her arms and midsection, occasionally fielding skidding shots off the top of her head as Mish has her way. Williams finishing up the round working her girl up against the ropes - she's bullying Combs with shoulders, connecting with forearms and sides of her fists as often as punching clean. Combs vibrating at the bell, looks a little wide eyed and stunned this round.

R4: Mish on top, bodying up, walking to her right with her left holding Holly about the waist, then pouring on the numbing lefts and rights to the bruised biceps, ribs and belly of her foe. Combs nipping and swatting once in a while, but basically outgunned - Williams able to be the boss, working consistently as her opponent wears down.

R5: Mish squaring away to punch, Combs in the crossed arm stance looks ready to take, but she NAILS Mish early with another sneaky-hard left hook, just inside William's hook and Mish is wobbly butt. Williams suddenly defenceless, leans forward and Holly takes over, curling her right hand up into Mish's belly, then turning it over to a clouting right on the mouth. Williams mouthpiece spills down her chest as she is battered in a meandering path around the ring, and a crashing right off her forehead sends Williams to her backside as the crowd roars. Mish up at 8, but woozy - Combs rams her in the teeth with the crown of her head, bulls her into the ropes and goes body with both hands in a fury of pent up rage to the bell. Williams sagging, taking punches to the velvet after the break as the ref pulls a wildly slugging brunette away.

R6: Mish can't recuperate and Combs lays in for payback. It's brunette pushing blonde all around the ring, cheek to cheek, Holly's fists chugging into gut, clubbing jug, clouting jaw - constant sweaty contact between the two compact brawlers as Combs heaps on the abuse. Slack jawed, still rubbery legged, Williams starts to respond late as she leans forward, blindly pushing her fists back and forth into the offending trunks. Groggy, aimless slugging continues after the bell as the much taller ref pulls the girls apart like a couple of naughty school kids.

R7: Girls can't wait to lock up, cheek by jowl midring, fists pumping furiously into hips, trunks, belly and ribs. Mish dipping her shoulder, reefs a tremendous right uppercut into Combs sternum to take over - Holly lifted onto her toes, staggers away in sudden agony, all the fight sucked out of her. Punch initiates a savage beating that sees Mish hound her foe around the ring - Williams lunging forward whenever Combs collapses away from her, blonde always seeking to get her body on her foe, then pump her fists in at point blank range. Down the stretch - Combs eyes closed, mouth lolling open, arms beaten raw - she sags into the ropes and succumbs to a withering barrage to her sides that drops her to all fours. Williams staggering back flushed with exertion, is amazed to see Holly Marie Combs somehow get to her feet at the bell. HMC helped to her corner - can't respond to the ref's inquiries, but Shannen Doherty assures him that Holly will continue.

R8: Holly Marie, beaten down but not out, staggers to midring and falls into Williams arms - blonde begins to slog patiently with right hands into the brunette's body in tortuous close contact. Midway through, Combs starts to answer, and her punches start to hurt Williams! Girls take turns laying it in and feeling the opponent go limp, only to suck it up and pay back in kind. Grueling primordial contest reels around the ring, girls in lockstep - down the stretch, Williams pulls back, crunches a clouting hook connecting with the side of her fist against Holly's temple as the brunette slumps forward - COMBS GOES DOWN! Holly bawling mindlessly, on all fours as Williams sags exhausted in a neutral corner. Once again, Holly Marie finds the will to climb the ropes, take 8, and survive to the final bell.

R9: Shutout Mish Williams. Mish arm weary, just doesn't have the pep on her pop anymore, but she bodies up effectively, smearing the stocky brunette around the perimeter of the ring, and cudgelling tummy with enough one-twos to keep Combs hurting. At the bell, Mish pushes off her foe with a look of dazed amazement - Williams has nothing left.

R10: Combs grim faced, beaten almost unrecognizable but willing herself on, walks Michelle Williams down and starts to pump it in. Mish folding into the brunette with a weary sob, head rested against Holly's shoulder, elbows tucked in tight as the brunette jerks short lefts and rights into the offered sides, and velvety goodness of the trunks. Williams turn to suck it up, she stands on trembling legs and takes as Holly wills her arms to pull back and plunge in. Horrible, slogging action winds up in a corner - Williams out on her feet, Combs propping the blonde up and sinking it into the belly trying to do anything to make her enemy quit. At the bell, girls loll in one another's arms, too spent to punch - thrilling encounter goes UD10 Mish Williams.

After: Williams can't help herself - she crosses the ring, give Combs her props - Holly Marie reluctantly accepts the praise despite the watchful glare of Doherty and Milano. Despite differences, Mish finds a soul-sister in the smallish brunette with more fight than sense - Coombs' heart outlasting Williams arms, just came up short in this thrilling brawl.
