 * If a fight is owned by an active user, and it is incomplete, you would have to ask for permission to create an alternate version
 * If a fight is owned by an active user, and it is complete, Free Access would be implemented. HOWEVER, it is required to give a notice to the user (via Message Wall) before doing anything to the page
 * The fight must be completed for seven days in order to implement Free Access. Otherwise, ask for permission

So if the "poor" battle is complete, you only have to wait 7 days and then post on their wall to give them a notice before making your own version. Nowhere in the latter part does it state you require their permission.

So either the poor battle is incomplete and you can (theoretically) know it will improve as it's worked on, or, the poor battle is complete and you can make your own version once 7 days have expired and you message their wall.
