Before: Great style clash at bantam - Connelly a fine boxer puncher, emerging as a classy stylist who can get respect at the weight. Fishel always eager to swap sock with Jennifer, especially as the Tech fighter hasn't been shy with her opinions in prefight. "To me, Dani's over-rated," shrugs Connelly. "There, I said it. This is a girl who made her reputation on Britney Spears and I'm tired of being politically correct about it. I can beat her with my jab, I can beat her with my legs, I can embarrass her with my power and you guys'll just have to wait to see which way I go on her this time."
"Jennifer's come into her own at bantam," admits Dani, "but she's still not half as good as she thinks she is. Anyone who talks like she does is worried about something." Dani in navy bandeau bikini with large pale blue polka-dots, bra strap support - Jennifer in the red push up and panties from Raquel Welch's 1967 'Bedazzled' turn.

During R1: Connelly uptempo, serious-minded - she's going right at Dani to open. Fishel bobbing as she crosses her arms, dips to either side, but she's eating a shrieking JC jab, followed by tasty right-cross chasers. Hard, hard leather pounding off the face, backing Dani up and a right hand SITS FISHEL DOWN! Dani legs outstretched, looking bleak - no flash knockdown this - little juggernaut is HUUUURT! Fishel up at 8, thighs quaking - ON COMES CONNELLY! Jabs and right hands slant down - Dani stooping to cover - OH THAT HOOK IN THE RIBS! Sickening lick buckles Dani's legs - crowd screaming as she sags sideways into the ropes. Jen steps left to get directly off Dani's presented right shoulder and RELEASES THE HOUNDS! Pounding rights to the ear and neck, heartless lefts in the back and back of the head - tearing scrub-down of punches BEATS DANI TO HER KNEES! Fishel spasming, failing her first attempt to rise - she barely beats the count and BEGS the ref to let it go. ON COMES JEN! Jab/right hands slant down - tearing through Dani's limp guard. Fishel drooping forward, out on her feet and she EATS THAT LEFT UPPERCUT! Jennifer arching her back and getting all of Dani's little chin and FISHEL GOES DOWN! Grotesque head snap, Dani's body forward as her chin gets picked up - she spreads out on her chest and it's over! KO1 in spellbinding fashion - Jennifer Connelly!

After: Connelly drawing a THUMB ACROSS HER THROAT as she glares down at Dani's wide white back (automatic fine) - brunette momentarily overcome with adrenaline rush as she POURS a beating to Fishel. Dani out for many, many moments - sopping up the hardest licks she's taken in a long, long time - physicians carefully rolling her to her back, easing her to her stool, checking her out as Connelly struts it up, hands high, waving to a stunned audience. "You just don't excuse Dani Fishel in the first round," notes one long time bantam beat scribe. "Jennifer had hate on her punches tonight - she lit into Dani like she wanted to retire her."
