A CONTROVERSIAL loss at Bells Beach has stoked Sally Fitzgibbons competitive fire ahead of her bid to end the domination of world champions Carissa Moore and Steph Gilmore in the next round of the ASP World Tour in Brazil.
Fitzgibbons, who flies to Brazil for the fourth round of the ASP World Tour today, admitted she is still hurting from her close semi-final loss to Moore at the Rip Curl Pro last week.

After the close-call Moore then went on to defeat Australian Tyler Wright for her second World Tour crown of the year.
"To be so close. It does really hurt,'' she said.
"The result was sub-par from what I was looking for.''
Bells has been a happy hunting ground for Fitzgibbons in the past, providing the stage for her maiden World Tour win and a second title a year later in 2012.
"I have to move on and take the momentum that was building into Brazil,'' Fitzgibbons said.
"I am feeling close and close to a win.''

The battle for the 2014 world title is shaping up as the closest in recent years with Moore and seven-time champion Gilmore locked in the No.1 position prior the Hawaiians win at Bells.
Gilmore's victory in the season opener has her now in second place in the world title race with Wright third and Fitzgibbons a close fourth.
But in Fitzgibbons favour now is she is a two-time winner in Brazil and also a runner-up at the event due to kick off next week.
"I've got a good track record hear and that gives me confidence,'' she said.
