What multiple fights? All that was shown was Spike taunting Nikki, then he fought and killed her later.
Something Blue

Robin witnessed one of their fights, shown in season 7, and we have the one where he killed her. Two is multiple, and there could have been more
Bringing in stuff from later seasons is kinda like cheating. It is really outside a discussion of a S4 ep to reference a S7 event.
I mean Nikki wasn't even in Something Blue, and we're talking about Angel season 5 in parts of this so, it seemed reasonable
I Think that refering to a completely different show, especially ATS, is completely wrong because different showrunner, different writers, different mission statement, different objective, different characterization, different continuity, etc, etc, etc. It is truly like comparing apples to oranges.
I will have to speak up again.

By multiple you mean two then? Sure, multiple can technically mean two, but it's a vague and misleading way of putting it. For example:
There were multiple birds on my lawn today.
The crash involved multiple cars.
Multiple gunshots were heard during the night.
Multiple police officers were called to the scene.
Given that there are specific terms for two - like two! - when using "multiple" in a sentence, the assumption by most would be that it is substantially greater than two.
So, two fights and you think there could have been more. Though the last is pure speculation.

Yes, 'multiple' is a bit of a grey area.
I completely agree.
Unfortunately, ATS is / becomes a different continuity. You can see it in rhe story lines and characterizations of Buffy and Angel when they cross shows and different writers write them. I forget the name of the thread, but there is one that goes pretty deep into the differences and how frustrating they are. The fundamental problem is that Whedon thought "continuity" interfered with "creativity" and never pushed it on the writers on either show.

Principal wood Could have been a cool character. I felt like there was such a big build-up with him and then it was so anticlimactic. He was supposed to be some sort of rival To spike and I guess he was but it really fell flat because he and Buffy never had a real relationship to begin with.1 day with a little bit of flirtation that ended in a hurry when spike showed up. Sometimes He was just a plot device. The actor who played him was very strong But ultimately He was just kind of a throwaway although he and faith together were pretty interesting. If the show had gone for another season which it was definitely not going to do maybe he would have been developed more.
while it's technically true the characters behaved differently on the shows, the fact is there were no breaks in the events. Things always lined up. To me that means you have to hand wave the differences before declaring different continuity
People point out Willow visting season 4 of Angel and freely doing magic there compared to Buffy. But in season 7 of Buffy she never really stops doing magic, there's just stuff she doesn't feel safe doing. So that just means the stuff of Angel fell in the range of stuff she felt safe doing, as strange as that seems
