Before:  “I don’t mind fighting tall, willowy girls like Troian. It does create problems, but I’ve found with, most recently,  Rose Byrne and Lauren German, who were both 5’6 that they can be ‘chopped down’. I hit HARD, that’s what will bring Troi down, and get me another win,” Allison Mack assured the press. “Oh, and I hear Dani Fishel has been over at the Puncher training center. I know Fishel can’t stand me, because I’ve beaten her a lot. Sure she’s beaten me, but there’s no advice she can give Troi that would make any difference in this fight. You all see.”

Troian her usual elegant self: “Yes, I do expect Allison to hit me hard, but she’s forgetting I can hit hard too. I feel I can break her down before she can ‘chop’ me down. It will be a race, but I think I’m the better runner. As for Dani Fishel. Our troubles with Foxfire are well-known, but Dani has always been a good friend of the Punchers. I know this is all painful to Dani, but I appreciate her coming over to advise me. I hope I was a good pupil, but if I lose, it won’t be because of her, it was because I wasn’t able to carry out her ideas.  Allison  is going to be very tough, but I may be ‘willowy; but I am just as tough as she is. I expect to battle her to the end and win it through sheer effort.”

Cool determination still the order of the day for this fight as Allison and Troian meet in the ring for the PPV. Allison is a sturdy black sports bra and black briefs both with gold trim. Troian  in a royal blue bra and bikini panties with lacy white trim. Allison in black gloves and boots with gold laces. Troian with white gloves and boots with royal blue laces. Allison hair loose in blonde bob. Troian’s longer dark hair in an elegant French braid down her back. Allison looks Troian up and down with a air of amused contempt. “A little frilly isn’t it?” Allison comments. “I like to think of them as ‘fighting frills’,” Troian replies firmly.  Allison snickers and Troian puts hands on hips to glare at her. “Ladies,: the referee interjects, “you can discuss your wardrobe AFTER the fight.” Allison and Troian back down and the instructions proceeds without further ado. Troian and Allison go to their corners and the bell rings.

R1: Troian seems to be taking advantage of a longer reach by striking at Allison from long range as the two circle. Allison trying to dodge the incoming while studying her opponent and sending out exploratory counters. Then Troian steps forward with some serious strikes at Allison’s face. Blonde gets struck repeatedly in the eyebrows, forehead and cheekbones. Allison hunching down but then fires back with strong strikes to Troian’s chest and ribs. Troian stepping back and Allison follows with powerful hooks to the brunette’s belly. Troian circles and strikes at Allison’s head with driving rights and lefts. Allison forced back and Troian in pursuit with hammering shots to Allison midsection. Allison’s defenses stiffen and they battle right down to the bell. It’s close but Troian is awarded the round.

R2: Allison heads right for Troian and slams into her body with her elbows and arms churning like pistons, Troian gasping as the gloves drive the air from her lungs and sink into her belly, while attacking her ribcage. Allison just drives the taller brunette back by sheer ferocity, but Troian smashes back with desperate jabs. Allison struck hard in the mouth, nose and eyes. She slows up the attack and Troian surges forward in a counterattack. Fierce exchange and mainly to the face. Troian rapidly lumping up around the eyes and cheeks even as she doing to the same to Allison.  The pace slows late as the fighters are starting to feel the damage, but Allison finishes the round with a couple of teeth rattling uppercuts to Troian’s chin. Again the judges find this was a close round, but this time they give it to Allison.

R3: Allison continues to the attack in this round, She is quickest off her stool and again she comes churning into Troian’s body with hard-driving blows. Troian seems reluctant to back off and tries to fight Allison toe to toe, Allison ducking under a good many of Troian’s counters  and keeps up the roasting of Troian’s ribcage. Then Allison manages to drive a short hook deep into Troian’s stomach. Troian folds forward with a gurgle and Allison then brings a uppercut crashing into Troian’s unguarded chin. DOWN GOES TROI! Troian body arcs backwards and she lands hard on her head and shoulders with the rest of her body close behind. Troian lays there, head moving from side to side as her legs churn. Allison goes to neutral corner and referee moves in. Troian hears the count and with a great effort rolls over onto her elbows and knees. She then stands up in time to beat the count. Troian able to continue, but she stays away from Allison and uses long-range jabs to keep the smaller blonde at bay. However the knockdown ensures this will go into Allison Mack’s column by a large margin.

R4: Troian moving slowly and cautiously as this round gets underway. Allison moves fast and with determination as she again hammers Troian’s body. Troian twisting her lanky body, trying to make herself harder to hit, but she gets her ribs battered once again. Troian finally retreating behind her jab. It does finally slow Allison down by adding to the swelling bruises and cuts on her face, but Allison wins the round wide. Troian’s once elegant fighting undies looking sweat soaked and tattered around the edges. Allison Mack’s sturdier garments sweat soaked, too, but tattered. Allison touches some torn lace on Troian’s bra and goes “Tsk! Tsk!” Troian brushes her hand away and stalks back to her corner.

R5: Dani Fishel leaves her seat in the arena and now appears in PLP corner for an urgent consultation with Troian. Troian listening and nodding. Hug from Dani just before the bell and then Troian is back to the battle with Allison Mack. Troian aiming at Allison’s head and scoring hard to the blonde’s forehead and the sides of her skull as she tries to close in. Allison hunching up and trying to work her way in under Troian’s counters, but the brunette hunching up too and meeting the attack. Banging to head and body going rages, but then Troian able to circle and clout the side of Allison’s head. Allison turning to meet this attack and takes quick smashes to mouth and nose. Allison bleeding from both as she falls back. Troian moving to keep up the pressure and duels with Allison’s jab. Troian starts moving again, clockwise,counterclockwise and manages to keep Allison off balance while landing her own punches. Troian firing away manages to grind out a close round and leave Allison’s face a swollen, bruised and bleeding mess, though the blonde glares in aching defiance before turning away after the bell.

R6: Allison tries to wrench the momentum away from Allison in this round. She goes back to her successful driving body attack. Troian can’t seem to resist the impulse to battle Allison toe to toe and she pays for it with another painful body roasting through the first two minutes, but then Troian  steps back, starts to circle left, but then suddenly shifts right and shoots in. Allison is caught looking left and suddenly a thunderbolt right crashes into her jaw. Allison goes spinning away and sprawls on her face. ALLISON MACK is down! Troian treating to neutral corner looks on hopefully as Allison struggles to rise. Allison makes it to her knees and then she is finally standing. Allison beats the count, but there is a big lump on her jaw and she looks woozy. Still, the referee allows the fight to continue, and Allison does have a good jab going that keeps Troian from doing much further damage to the bell. Allison looks stunned as she goes back to her round. Perhaps it is not so much the knockdown punch as the realization Troian just stole a round from her.

R7: Front Street corner crew working frantically on  Allison during the break, but she is slow rising from her stool and she seems to have little taste for taking on the resurgent Troian Bellisario. Troian trying to get in close and finish off the clearly hurting blonde, but though she is landing a steady stream of punches, she’s not getting the finishing blows she would like to land. Troian circling, bobbing and weaving trying to locate a fatal gap on Allison’s defenses. She can’t seem to find one, so she then settles for just steadily working over Allison’s body and striking art her head whenever she can find an opening. Allison plodding along only occasionally jabbing back, but she’s still standing at the bell having given up a shutout round to Allison.

R8: Allison not looking much better as this round gets started. Troian circling and striking, but not finding the gap she wants. Allison’s jab seems to be weakening as the round wears on. Troian like a lioness looking to finish off a zebra. Suddenly Troian just comes forward firing shots over and under Allison’s weakly held glove defense. Allison clipped hard to the chin and struck strongly between the eyes. Allison shudders and starts to topple to one side. Troian steps forward and sends a crashing right into her jaw. ALLISON MACK CRASHING ONTO HER SIDE! Allison lays curled up on her side as the referee counts. Allison twitching but she;s not going to get up in time! IT’S OVER!
THE WINNER: TROIAN BELLISARIO KO8

After: Troian sagging against the turnbuckle in the neutral corner raises an arm in victory. She then makes her way over to Allison Mack who is being helped to her feet by the referee. She gives Allison a big hug and pat on her black briefs.

“I told her she probably was wearing the more sensible outfit, but it me, in the frilly undies who beat her because—tonight—I was the one who hit the hardest. I say that even though she left me aching all over,” Troian says in the post-fight. “I am relieved I was the ones standing when it ended. It feels so much better when you win. I am definitely going to do it again—and soon! And I am not going to leave the ring without thanking Dani Fishel! Dani, I know your Foxfire teammates don’t like us anymore, but we appreciate your support and I appreciate your advice. I don’t think I could have won this without it!”

Dani Fishel stands quietly in the Puncher corner. She smiles and calls out: “You said it yourself—it wasn’t just my advice—it was YOU executing it. You won this fight, Troi, not me!”

“Don’t listen to her,” Troian whispers to the press, “she was the key and that’s a fact.”

Meanwhile Allison Mack is telling reporters: “You know me—I hate losing, but I will admit that Bellisario is developing into one helluva puncher. You might not think so to look at her, but she can hit and hit hard.  What’s more once she got me set up, she figured out how to finish me off. She’s learning. I don’t know if it was Fishel or not, but it’s paying for Troi. Her future opponent better watch out. They are in for one helluva fight with her!”

Exciting battle that seemed very even until Troian was able to hurt Allison in R6. It took the PLP fighter 2 more rounds, but she finally finished the Front Street fighter off. Very encouraging win for Troian. She goes to 2-2 this year with time to work her way up the rankings ladder. Meanwhile Allison remains a tough veteran ready to challenge anyone new or old and give them a fight they will remember.
