<upd_detl>It's "a fight to the finish," not "a fight to a finish."  In any given fight, there's only one finish, so you know which finish you're talking about.  When you know which one of something you're talking about, that is to say when you have a definite instance of something in mind, the definite article "the" is generally called for.</upd_detl>
