Before: Brittany doing all the talking in prefight: “This is the fight I’ve always wanted. Other girls don’t want any part of Eliza Dushku—I said to Kim and Ginny, ‘can you get me Eliza?’ and they delivered. I don’t see how she’s going to bear up. I don’t see her taking my punch. The way I’ll treat Dushku will make everyone realize just how lucky Alba got.”

Eliza checking her hearing, asking aides to repeat what was just said—she’s having a good time with it.

Dushku in red leather bikini, Brittany in black bikini, short blonde tousle.

Diring R1: Eliza showing some respect, boxing out the first minute behind a nice sharp stick, pivoting to her left, Dushku changes up, catches Brittany adjusting, moves inside, beats the ribcage beneath both breasts with a volley of rights and lefts, spins off the blonde before the receipt. Dushku changing up once again as Daniel looks to brawl on in the inside—brunette stepping it out around Brit’s right shoulder, cuffing her a snap-hook on the temple en route, Shutout Dushku—easy.

R2: E keeping it breezy. Stoop-belly jabs, pivot-outs, feinting like she’s coming in, then walking away, then jumping in a surprise hook mon the ear. Dushku moving in and out, turning Daniel midring, occasionally standing and ripping a burst to the body, but not hanging around for trade. Daniel embarrassed much of the round, gets it together late with a pumping stick—girls exchanging hard lefty hooks to the chest at the bell.

R3: Daniel getting up to speed—remembers to use her jab from the get go, Eliza unable to move inside at will, it’s more a tactical round, less activity as the girls wheel around one another, looking to step into position and get off quick. Daniel coming forward, making the fight, probably gets a close nod as Dushku keeps her distance.

R4: Eliza committing more, taking more risks, winning more exchanges, Dushku works off her jab—she’ll occupy Brit upstairs, step to the left and come in hard, fists blazing to the belly. Daniel on her heels, reacting—she’s getting off with rising lefts and rights, but Eliza’s controlling tempo. Down the stretch, girls slug their way out of a clinch, Dushku beats Daniel to hook on mouth and blonde baby-steps backwards, eyes wide. Eliza jamming in a lead right hand straight to the body, jerks up into a clanging hook to drape Daniel woozy on the ropes. Savage flurry at the bell—Daniel stunned, hands up and wide, punches exploding off her face as Eliza tears it up good. Bell: Brittany wobbly butt—bracing herself with a hand on the ropes, picks up her chin and taints Dushku—brunette swishing back to her corner all business.

R5: Brittany D digs down, shakes off hurt, fights Eliza hard this round. Dushku settling in toe to toe—looking to break Daniel down more, but it’s not working. Blonde standing strong, answering punches with vicious uppercutting lefts and rights to the ribs and breasts—it’s Eliza backing up in furious give and take. Withering trade, sustained pace as the girls take their turns—Daniel hammers out an all action fifth.

R6: Tour de force body punching, Eliza Dushku. E establishing position with her jab, fighting off Brittany’s chest, dipping and ripping with soul-sucking fury. Daniel on the ropes early and she stays there, crippled—Dushku using her head, shoulders and elbows to pin Daniel down, shake her up, then it’s leather on meat bell to bell. Daniel suffering, hobbling forward only to take punches behind her elbows and across her back, getting bulled up straight to take it along the beltline—Dushku not sparing the ribcage or breasts either in singleminded pursuit of capitulation. It’s all too much: constant barrage has Daniel wilting near the bell—blonde takes a knee, face stretched in pain as Eliza stands with smoking guns above her. Huge 10-8 Eliza D sends Daniel blubbering to her corner.

R7: Brittany up and wobbly,. Legging to her right as Eliza walks her down with grim intentions. Daniel stops, licks a hook, catches Dushku clean between the eyes and DUSHKU”S HURT! Eliza wobbling away in shock, hands holding her head and she down in a delayed reaction! Crowd screaming—Dushku barely beats the count and BRITTANY goes on the rampage. Palms rough on the shoulders, blonde shoving brunette up against the ropes and PAYBACK ensues! Rich, lusty punches up into the body, fully bodied shoving to prop back and MORE piling on—Dushku being bludgeoned, still in shock, unable to get her bearings. Quick right uppercut, left hook—jerky headsnaps for Eliza and DUSHKU GOES DOWN! Eliza on all fours, wobbling, dazed—she beats the count again and sinks stupefied into the ropes. Daniel BLASTING away to finish—Eliza finally getting her hands up, rolling a little to blunt the incoming, gets herself out a disastrous seventh but she is HURT!

R8: Dushku in tatters—Daniel charging the ring, falls into an immediate brunette clinch—Eliza’s playing for time. Sloppy round—Dushku’s legs aren’t back, she’s holding shamelessly, moving to the ropes, rolling and blocking, not punching back. Daniel able to punish the ribcage on either side, but can’t find the head—hard to put punches together on Dushku when she doesn’t want to play. Shutout Daniel.

R9: Dushku still complaining of ringing in her ears—she’s just not right. More survival mode stuff from Eliza as she draws warning for holding—Brittany responding in clinches with fouling shoulder butts in the teeth, using her tousle to rub Eliza’s swollen features, getting her elbows up against Eliza’s throat. Roughhouse scuffs Dushku up some but can’t get her out—brunette seems fresher at the bell than when she started, but another shutout Brittany Daniel.

R10: Back to fighting as Eliza pivots off the jab, trying to get that hook over Brittany’s right shoulder. Daniel feeling it too strong, won’t be bamboozled—she keeps cutting off the ring, slamming her jab o Eliza’s chest, eventually finding the range on a choppy right hand from the shoulder and putting the hook on top. Brittany forcing engagements and it’s a barn burner down the stretch—girls in fighting crouches, getting off, covering up and churning it up again in  crashing action to the bell. Slugging goes late—ref jumps in—both girls seething, unsatisfied at the sight of the other girl still standing. Come back UD10 Brittany Daniel.

After: Daniel hysterical with victory, bouncing, preening, playing to the crowd. Eliza staring at the canvas, wiping her nose with taped hand, shaking head. One punch turns it around—should have KO’d Eliza, instead she guts it out, but never quite gets it together again/ Daniel a little lucky but a lot good—beating she took in the sixth finishes just about any bantam out there—she had the heart to suck it up, hurt Eliza back, and roll her up for the win.
