Before: Drama in the De La Garza camp as Larue reigns. “I can’t stand by and Alana to be served up on a silver platter to these girls,” says an emotional Eva. “Alana’s surrounded by these guys who just want to cash in on that face and body of hers—they don’t really care about her and they’re going to ruin her with this schedule. That Righetti fight was brutal, just brutal, and now they’ve got her in with DANIEL of all people after what? 5, 6 weeks? Its criminal. I just couldn’t be a part of it any longer.” Brittany D licking her chops at the sight of doe-eyed brunette still getting her FCBA legs. “I don’t see what the big deal is about her,” Daniel says of her opponent, “If she were blonde, she’s be average looking—she’s really only ‘hot’ for a brunette. They call her the next Krista Allen, but I think of her as a poor man’s Krista Allen—a cheap knock off. Make that Knocked Out, soon enough!”

Daniel’s smirking in that vivid scarlet bikini, making eyes during instructions at a rerserved Alana dressed in black string bra and boy cut panties (picture Kitana Baker’s ensemble from the first Miller catfight ad).

During R1: Daniel gets the exact same punch Righetti used on Alana—a diving, sneaky right hand lead on the chin that sends shivers down De la Garza’s legs moments after the bell, Alana reacting badly, gumbying to the ropes, staring back bleak and Daniel goes Jug! Brittany welcomes that rack to the FCBA with a vicious, chugging up-thrusting burst of savage lefts and rights—Alana in shock, clinches up around Daniel’s head for a desperate break, Beat down: blonde pushed back by the ref, wades in hungry for more—punching tidy out of a chest high hand position, working the De La Garza waist. Alana suffering, legs wide, rotating her torso—she’s cute as she lays top one side for the other, tucking her chin in behind either shoulder, but she’s soaking up ruinous punishment. Down the stretch, De La Garza bent double, top of her head rubbing against Brittany’s belly—blonde standing up strong and STROKING home the hurt. Skidding blows across the kidneys, reefing hooks up under the right side, singing rights up under the left. Alana spellbound, startled, windblown as Daniel posts a bruising blonde shutout.

R2: Thought that was bad? Daniel gets right back on top, picking up where she left off. Ballistic speed of Daniel giving Alana all sorts of problems—brunette freezing, leaning away from the rushes and getting nailed those diving right hand, jump-in hooks. At the ropes, Brittany bodying up on and bullying Alana like a welterweight—palming brunette’s biceps back to expose that luscious torso. Jugs are POUNDED without mercy—Daniel getting up in there and digging until Alana clinches, wet whimpers on brunette’s trembling lips. Non stop punching—blonde fighting through the grapple, beating the body, walking Alana down as brunette slides forlorn along the ropes—it’s all too much. Hail of clobbering lefts and rights buffets head and shoulders on Alana, cudgeling her to all fours at the bell. Brittany smiling in satisfaction as she stoops to sweep a meanspirited left in on Alana’s shuddering right side—prompting referee intervention and a shout of outrage from weepy De La Garza.

R3: Alana regroups mentally on her stool, physically in the ring. De la Garza getting the jab out to channel Brittany’s thrusting rushes—brunette with the habit of jabbing from her temple, lifting her elbow to point at Brittany before chopping it out. De la Garza with an open back-hand jab as well as a cuffing half hook/half jab—doing enough with the left hand and lateral movement to keep Brittany outside. Daniel frustrated, bending low to menace Alana, stalking her, but can’t put mitts on meat this round.

R4: Daniel rushes…and get rejected, touched up the jab and brushed an intercepting right uppercut for her troubles—De La Garza settling down, finding her feet. Alana smooth to her left, chopping out the jab, showing the right hand that turning into that oily hook—pulling it across Brittany’s face, closing up stance on follow through, bending low and rolling back underneath to reset. Daniel shooting rights and missing over the top—ALANA STROKES A COUNTER-HOOK OF THE CROUCH! Sleek punch—De La Garza weaving under the Daniel right, greasing chin that fluid left hook—Daniel steps away with a stricken expression and HOPS TO ALL FOURS! Brittany ramshackle, shaking her head—she gets to the ropes, climbs’em, turns in time to see the ref WEAVING THE WHOLE THING OFF! Stunning TKO4 Alana De La Garza as poor Daniel breaks down in the official’s arms.

After: De La Garza shaking off that heartbreaking los to Righetti, pulling herself together to win yet another crowd pleasing brawl. Alana with silky smooth moves gets hit more than you’d expect and looks to punch rather than buy time when hurt—exactly what Larue was lamenting, “I think the slugging…that’s because girls aren’t showing me any respect and they’re going right at me,” says a well-worn, but happy Alana in postfight. “I showed I can hurt a former champion tonight, and that’s going to buy me room to maneuver in future fights. I know Eva was worried that I’d slide down the same road as Debbie Dunning, but that’s not going to happen. As soon as people start honoring my punch, that’s going to allow me to outclass them in a way somebody like Dunning never could.”
