Outcome: Without his sidekick, Bear, Fox isn't good for much other than trash talking as the Sheriff, who has the size advantage, repeatedly "belly bumping" him to the ground. The Sheriff, however, not being the brightest of wolves, thinks that he's got the Fox licked and decides to strike up a conversation with the tar baby, whom he mistakes for a living creature, although he was intentionally planted by Fox as a decoy. As Fox moves in for the kill, Nutsy and Trigger try to interfere, but Fox shoos them away. Trigger tries to be of some use but ends up hitting everything but his target, as usual. Fox cackles hideously as he wields his knife, preparing to cut into the Sheriff and claim his prize to move onto the next round.

However, just as Fox is about to kill the Sheriff, Uncle Remus and the Rooster show up and interrupt Fox's victory dance to discuss the implications of Fox moving onto the next round. They both conclude that for Fox to win would mean that Song of the South would receive undo publicity which would lead to another public outrcry for the film's DVD release, which we all know can't happen because Song of the South is racist for some reason. And so, with that, the Rooster and Remus proceed to kick the crap out of the Fox, release the Sheriff, who swings him around by his tail and chucks him into a briar patch, with the Fox talking trash all the way.

And as the Rooster plays an off-key version of "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" on his banjo, Remus just narrates Brer Fox out of the battle, chuckling and crying out "oo-de-la-lee oo-de-la-lee" as he merrily erases Fox from the Brer Rabbit fiction. The Sheriff proceeds to inquire about contractual agreements regarding his replacing Fox in the Splash Mountain Ride at the Disney Theme Parks.

Winner: Sheriff of Nottingham (by politically correct default)
