BEFORE:
"Sure, she's bigger than me," says Jessica with a smile, "And, she probably hits harder, too. But, it's about more than size and power, especially in JMDD, as I'm about to demonstrate."
"The only thing SHE'S going to demonstrate," says Marie, without a hint of a smile, "Is how to clean the mat with your back."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Love Song' by Kevin Fowler, and here comes the star of that video, the lovely Jessica Ashley!"
McCarthy: "Another second-class Playmate. Couldn't have even MADE the magazine back when I was dominating the cover..."
Tess: "HERE we go..."
McCarthy: "SHUT UP, Walmart!"
O'Dell: "Drink up, boys, and drink IN the lovely Ms. Ashley as she climbs into the ring and is helped off with the robe to reveal a leopard print number that's got the crowd's attention..."
Sun down on the sorry day
By nightlights the children pray
I know you're probably gettin' ready for bed
Beautiful woman, get out of my head
I'm so tired of the same old crud
Sweet baby, I need fresh blood
WHOOOOOOOOOOO!
O'Dell: "And, that's 'Fresh Blood' by Eels you hear hammering through the arena, and here comes 'The Sexy Sequoia', Marie Temara!"
Cassie: "And, this is only Marie's fourth FCBA fight, but she's already made quite an impression around here in traditional fights and on the beach. And, now it's JMDD..."
O'Dell: "Marie into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve, and the crowd giving a HUGE pop for Ms. Temara in that lavender number she likes. Ladies about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Marie. Mac?"
McCarthy: "SECOND-CLASS PLAYMATE. Marie!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "And, we're underway with Ashley on the move early. No surprise there, as there isn't a lot of percentage in standing in front of Marie. Jessica actually circling here, working the jab, don't see a ton of that at welterweight..."
Cassie: "You do not, but, as you said, you don't want to stand in front of Marie."
O'Dell: "Jessica giving up a ton of reach here, but she's using angles very well, circling, jabbing, slipping inside Temara's left hand to get off, hooking a littie rack, then dipping away. She's not going to try to bang inside with the Front Streeter, which is also a good idea."
McCarthy: "If Big Bad Gena Lee were here, she'd already have this Front Street tomato can on the canvas."
Tess: "Not if the ref were looking for low blows..."
McCarthy: "What are you IMPLYING Walmart?"
Tess: "I'm implying NOTHING, I'm flat SAYING that Nolin is the biggest cheater who ever walked into an FCBA ring..."
O'Dell: "IF we could keep our attention on THIS ring, we'd see that there are only 20 seconds remaining in the round. Ashley's been able to build herself a solid lead here with all this motion. Marie staying sound, not pushing the issue, doing some recon right to the bell, and there it is. Jessica and wide, and Ashley gets the early 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Second underway and Temara working the feet herself now. The bigger woman much less stationary than she was in the first. She's looking to match footwork, square, get off with heavy shot. Ashley still moving, circling, dipping in to get off and then back out."
McCarthy: "This might be the way to beat this tomato can. Just move some."
O'Dell: "Temara lining up that rack. She's popping jabs to jug now, and that's getting Jessica's attention. Ashley circling away, but Marie cuts the ring, steps in behind the left and BANGS a straight right to the jug. Ashley backing up. Marie with another jab to the rack and A BOOMING RIGHT HAND TO THE CHIN AND DOWN GOES ASHLEY! Oh, what a SHOT!"
Cassie (singing): "Turn out the liiiiiggghhhhhtts. The party's ohhhverrrrr..."
O'Dell: "Marie to a neutral corner, arms raised. She knows what she's done here. Ashley down on her back in the Maltese cross position, not moving an inch. Count at three. Four. Five. It's all a formality. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! And your winner by KO2 in one-punch fashion is 'The Sexy Sequoia' Marie Temara!"
Tess: "When this girl hits you, you STAY hit."
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Marie Temara, and, Marie, you wasted no time in there..."
Marie: "Well, Tess, as you know, this is the FCBA, and the girls here are the best in the world. You can't mess around in there. When you get a chance to end a fight, you have to end it. And, that's just what I did."
Tess: "This was your JMDD debut. I hear the plan is to get you more JMDD fights and some beach fights as well..."
Marie: "All fine with me, Tess. As long as I'm working, it's all fine with me."
