Before: Ya gotta love the cracker conglomerate: Mishy coming off the most devastating low point of her entire career and is she coddled by the corporation? Is she eased back into competition against munchable cupcakes? Nope: title defence against a pouncing, opportunistic Claire who's dorsal fin has never been more apparent. "I guess I'll have to be satisfied with the belts," Danes grins in prefight, "it's not like Mishy has any dignity left to take. I can just hear it now: 'no Claire, no, stop Claire,' you know? You been practicing Mish? You gonna give it up to me as sweet as you did Dani? I have a theory on that actually," Claire detaches the mic from podium, saunters outfront the dais to speak at Mish direct. Williams trembling in her seat, cheeks crimson, eyes baleful. "Nobody quits like you did," Claire continues, "unless that's what you secretly wanted to do all along. Is that what it's like between you and Dani? Hey? You talk big, but deep down, you want her on top? Dominating you? I have to admit, at times, when you were wriggling underneath her, trying to get your face free, it looked to me like you were enjoying yourself. Not exactly Alpha behaviour Michelle, you know what I'm saying? You CAN abdicate, you know - just give me the belts and step down. I mean, why get all stubborn now when you've shown your true colours? Going through the motions and then quitting against me isn't going to do you any good..." That's it for Williams - wiping her eyes, she pushes back from the table, storms from the room - claire's sardonic laughter chasing the champ from the dais. Game, set, match Claire Danes in prefight - going for the jugular on a very raw, vulnerable and still-tender Mish. Williams in leopard print push up, scarlet panties, small black "Cat Paw" brand mitts. Claire in sporty crimson bikini, bandeau top with thin shoulder straps; small white "Cat Paw" brand mitts.

During R1: Mishy tentative - Claire's setting tempo. Danes bright eyed, lips crimped in smirk: tart skidding jabs scrape atop Mishy's head as she ducks down - Claire sidestepping with poke. Danes drilling sudden lead rights as well - pushing off ball of right foot for stab-and-retract impact: Mishy facing into these blows, catching them between the eyes. Williams bobbing and weaving, occasionally clawing at Claire's ribs when Danes engages at close range - but it's Danes dictating all terms. Just-because-I-can shoeshine of Mishy's jugs leaves her outraged at the bell: Danes turning prettily on her heel, bouncing back to corner all smiles.

R2: Claire on the offensive again - a brace of skidding jabs occupies Mishy's attention, setting up a single clean, drilling right on the mouth. Danes grinning, circling effortlessly, right hand tight to her chest, left hand curled in against her belly as she wheels and pivots. Minute mark, Mishy lowers her head, ram-butts Claire Zenadine Zedane style in the chest - Danes scattered into ropes, lips pursed in shock. Mish snarling, sails in - small-mitt fists digging furiously at the hip flexors and trunks of her girl, bunching Claire up a-sobbing. Danes' arms draped loose about Michelle's shoulders - Williams in there, shoulders rotating - hup-hup body blows drum the ribs of her opponent, shaking Claire's legs. Danes hurt, folds up face in gloves, giving Mish torso-rotation: well-trained Mish ignores the head, smashing instead at the flanks and exposed lower back of her foe in measured fashion. Williams brawny, lambasting defensive Claire, getting fierce touches to the bell as Danes can't answer. Ref has to pull seething Michelle off to enforce break - little champion absolutely livid, struggling in the grasp.

R3: Claire prowling flat-footed, swivel-pivoting willowy in front of Michelle - Williams spends the first minute spraying haymakers at air as Danes can't be found. Mish solves Claire's stealth technology with good old fashioned tackling - driving in and stomping hard to put breathless Danes ropeside. Thudding salvo amidships has Claire cramped: Mishy comes off the bodkin uppercutting, sprawling Danes wide-eyed up against the ropes. Middle minute a smothering, brawling beatdown - Mish to Claire - Danes finally tieing up and hanging on for ref's break. That's it for Claire - she runs the clock, refusing combat - stalked by a grim-faced Mish intent on harm to bell.

R4: Danes all supple defense - willowy upperbody moves matched with oily pivots - constant shifting of angle keeps Mish turning midring. Williams countering with savagery - beating incessantly at her foe's arms and flanks when choicer cuts of Claire aren't available. Danes nipping counter-punching combinations: licking little right uppercuts, cuffing hooks off the pivot; Michelle slamming wide right roundhouses body and ear, trying to fight off Claire's chest. Thick give and take - both girls getting some of what they want - round scored a draw as once again, ref is forced to push an enraged Michelle back after the bell.

R5: Classic Claire - she holds Mish spellbound at midring, pivoting 'round her, picking her apart. Skidding, chipping, chiselling jab mocks Mish, occupying and pre-empting her. Danes landing the hesitation right hand flush, coming back with digging left uppercuts to ribcage, or clouting left hooks to mouth. Danes also featuring her whippy, lathering left hook carved in neat beneath Mishy's right elbow - Williams scowling at the bite as Claire gets leverage off front (left) foot. Claire effortlessly swivelling to either side, ducking under or wheeling away from receipts - Mish just can't draw a bead as Claire taps away for a classy shutout fifth. Bell: Danes turning on her heel with that demure little grin - nobody's buttocks are more insufferable on the strut back to corner following a shutout - Mish smouldering, gnashing teeth during the break.

R6: Mish out swinging - lots of misses, but one ringing right hand on the ear has Danes backpedalling. Williams unleashing wild, rushing punches, daring Claire to stand-ground and counter: Danes evading this stuff, spinning and sidestepping MIsh like a matadora. Claire very poised and elegant, but very defensive - she's not touching Mish at all while Williams is clearly trying to bring battle. Judges have to reward aggressive champ as Claire just won't cooperate.

R7: Claire firming - setting down in wide stance, pushing off ball of right foot to score strong jabs, straight right hands up the middle. Mish out on the end of poke - not where she wants to be - but this is stiff work from Danes, Williams can't walk through it. Minute mark, Claire scoot-stepping forward with a lead right hand, shifts weight to front (left) foot to jerk a jagged left uppercut to Mishy's chin, then shifts weight to back (right) foot to clap hook-to-mouth and DOWN GOES MISHY! Claire getting balletic leverage, stunning Mish, dropping her to all fours: Williams up quick, shaking her tousled head as Claire jogs all feisty to neutral corner. Resume - Claire very aggressive, attacking Mish at the ropes with a licking brace of left hooks clawed across belly: Williams groaning, sitting into ropes face-in-gloves, suddenly overwhelmed. Kidneys available: Claire heartlessly harvesting - pounding away swabbing rights and lefts, lips set in a firm, cruel line as she beats at Mish. Williams groaning, ashen faced, reaches for Claire's hips: Danes bodying Williams to ropes, riding a forearm against the girl's throat as ref moves in to break. Waves of Claire from there: MIshy digging in, dukes up, hurt but defiant. Danes attacking in-out - jabbing to set up sudden right/lefts, then nimbly ducking out of range as Williams firms on the apron. Bell: Claire making hard eye contact, nodding meaningfully at Mish; Williams scowling, glaring at canvas, punching her right fist against her thigh en route to her corner.

R8: Big swinging Mish - Williams rallying, refusing to be discouraged - she leaves her feet amidst looping left and right roundhouses, sweeping Claire to ropes at the open. Mishy charges in with top of her head butting hard betwixt Claire's perky jugs: thudding collision draws a breathy cry from Danes as she reaches to clinch. MISHY WON'T HAVE IT! Churning assault digs at trunks and tummy, bunching Claire up hurt: series of ripping right hands takes Claire over and over in her ribcage as she's folding forward and CLAIRE GOES DOWN! Mish bellowing, casting her shadow over Claire's back: Williams NEEDED that knockdown and both girls know it. Gut check for Claire as she gets snivelling to her feet: ref rubbing her gloves on his shirt as Danes collects herself, blinks back tears - HERE COMES MISH! Williams hurtling in head first - another thudding skull-on-jug impact pushes a ragged bleat of pain from Claire - she's all cramped up and shook, loosening terribly as Mishy scrounges inside. Williams with both small mitts taking a firm hold of Claire's waistband - champ leaning in head-and-shoulders to smudge and control, then she'll clout Claire short right hands while maintaining the left hand trunk-tug. Danes bullied and roughed up - she's unable to organize defensively with Mishy snuggled in so tight, using Claire's bottoms to control challenger at ropes. Patient, methodical drubbing handed out - Mish grinding in there, using up all the air, clubbing away righty in tight - she's still scrounging after the bell until ref peels her off. Claire ashen faced, windblown: left eye puffy, lips swollen, ribs obviously hurting her as she cringes back to her corner.

R9: Mishy POURING herself at Claire - robust, reckless haymakers mid ring, ticketted for Claire's head: Danes stumbling backward from this stuff rather than looking to punch-with and take advantage of openings. Ropes: Claire packed in tight, grimacing as she reaches her arms loose around Michelle's shoulders, unable to tie up. Mishy securing the small-mitt grab on Claire's waistband, then bumping, butting and jostling for position. Tug-n'-clout right hands, smothering body-ups afterwards - Michelle just blanketing on Claire, taking away all Danes' tricks. Sweaty heads in close - Claire's eyelashes fluttering, lips parted or grimacing when she's getting belted: when Mishy's not clubbing righty, she's pushing in, wriggling in, making Claire take weight. Down the stretch, constant attrition too much for Danes - she turns to her right, wilts to all fours - Mishy crowding Claire at the ropes, stepping across to straddle the downed woman's back and braying in triumph. Claire muttering incoherently "trunks...ref...trunks..." but official's too occupied with wrestling Michelle to neutral corner. Bell: Danes reeling, stumbling back to corner - face VERY puffy now, unusually so for her, eyes bleak and distant as she flops down achy on her stool.

R10: EXTRA MISH! Claire's eyes betray her as she sees the vigour erupting from opposite corner: bitter resignation on Danes face as she doesn't even attempt to meet Mish midring, choosing instead to set up ropeside.

Oh, the beatdown. Mishy smells knockout; Claire knows she just CAN'T be stopped tonight of all nights. It's one girl stacking another up and whaling away at her while the other grimly tries to last the route.

It's as bad as normally elusive Claire's ever been battered: Mishy controlling her cutey-pie opponent with the trunk-grab in tight, bumping and jostling Claire, then belting her cheap. Both hands gripping waistband, stocky legs straining, left shoulder in Claire's chest as Williams pushes in - then it's a sneaky, close-in right hacked tight across jaw, tossing Claire's sweaty head aside. Danes ALL busted up, ragged at the ropes - face drooping forward slack against Mishy's left shoulder during the respites - eyes closed, lips parted. Claire's arms loose around Mishy's shoulders/down her back.

Mishy's exhausted, but willing herself to go on: straining on Claire, securing her, then clobbering her - strain; secure; clobber - over and over and over. Muffled wet clapping noise of damp leather on tender face.

Deafening crowd roar: Mishy fans bellowing for the KO; Claire fans screaming at those legs to stand.

Garner, Dushku and Warren poised at ringside, ready to rush the apron and throw the towel in: it's not a boxing match any more - it's simply MIsh groggily pounding away at the dregs of Claire. Hannigan still seated, amused expression punctuated by calculating eyes - Alyson smelling opportunity with every punch landed now. Action so brutal, so barbaric, it's actually damaging both combatants in different ways.

Bell: Mishy lands a cheap, drifting right - pushing into Claire on follow through. Ref's a little late getting his hands on Mish: Williams in stupor, pounds another right to asleep-on-her-feet Claire's face. Mishy's finally reefed away: Claire reeling on the spot, but still standing. Comes back UD10 close for the winner and STILL champ - Michelle Williams.

After: HISC a house well-used to internal dissension - even encouraging it at times as a way of breeding healthy competition - but even HISC might want to pursue a sit-down between rival factions in the wake of this nightmarish brawl to bring temperatures down a notch. Claire - CLAIRE - beaten unrecognizable - face all puffy and smudged: bludgeoning torrent of Mish right hands hammering at the normally untouchable beauty of Danes. After a few moments of milling about - Williams stumbles toward Claire, intent on tribute - Danes groggily firming, lifting bare dukes to chest - Eliza intercepts MIsh, embracing her about the waist and walking her back: "No, Mishy - walk away - just walk away." Williams squirming against Dushku's stomach - "Let me go E: she's got this coming." Garner minding Claire - even Danes looking like she wants to close and continue. Cooler heads prevail - for now. Camera pans the happy, beaming faces of opposition flyweights in the audience: small-bodied girls overjoyed at the sight of Wolf Pack turning in on itself with such unrestrained savagery.
