BEFORE:
"I keep hearing," says Jessie with a shake of the head, "About how big and athletic this girl is. Well. She may be all that, but she's NOT getting a win tonight."
"I've got nothing bad to say about Jessie," says Marie with a smile. "In fact, I love her music. But, that doesn't mean I'm not going to knock her ass OUT tonight, because I absolutely AM."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Bang Bang' you hear, um, banging through the arena behind us, and here comes the singer of that tune, the lovely Jessie J!"
McCarthy: "And, guess how many FCBA wins she has? ZERO! I demand an investigation!"
Tess: "HERE we go..."
McCarthy: "Shut UP, Walmart!"
O'Dell: "Drink up, boys, but keep your eyes on the screen as Jessie climbs into the ring to be helped off with the robe to reveal that black number she likes and the crowd clearly appreciates..."
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're hearing, and that can only mean that 'The Sexy Sequoia' Marie Temara is on her way to the ring!"
Cassie: "Marie off to a great start for Front Street. Getting better every time out, and she wants to continue that progression tonight..."
McCarthy: "Or Weirdo will kick her into the street like he did List..."
O'Dell: "Marie wasting no time getting down the aisle and into the ring. She's helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve and the crowd popping for the 6'2" beauty in that lavender number she likes. Ladies about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Marie. Mac?"
McCarthy: "NO FCBA wins! Temara!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "Unanimous again and Jessie immediately out to make everyone look foolish, stepping right to Marie and backing her up with a series of hard shots to the head! Temara quickly thrown to the back foot and the singer looking to keep her there, getting off in combination here..."
Tess: "Don't often see Marie back up..."
O'Dell: "You do not. Then again, you might be in a 'not taking a bunch of chances early' situation here. Marie may well be thinking this might be something to ride out. But, for the moment, anyway, Jessie has the bigger woman on the defensive in a big, big way..."
McCarthy: "Big Bad Gena Lee would have her OUT of there. So would Palicki or Lawley..."
O'Dell: "Coming down the stretch in the first, and the singer has definitely had things her own Way. NICE combination there from Jessie. Marie again covers up and gives a little ground and there's the bell Jessie J is going to get the points and get them wide in the first."
Cassie: "Giving her the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Second begins with Jessie coming forward and Marie firing right back. Oh, it's HAMMER AND TONGS in there! Brunettes just letting the hands go and it's Temara who's getting the better of things, forcing the British beauty backward! Jessie covering up now as Marie gets to work..."
Tess: "Temara landing some SHOTS, but none of them have been anywhere NEAR clean..."
O'Dell: "They have NOT, but with the power she has, they've still been effective. Jessie backing and covering. Marie working the jab now, SNAPPING the singer's head back with it and DROPPING HER WITH A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND! Oh, THAT one landed cleanly..."
Cassie (singing): "Turn out the liiiigggghhhhtttsss. The party's ohhhhverrrrr..."
O'Dell: "Marie quickly back to a neutral corner, but I don't think there's any hurry. Jessie is down on her back in the middle of the ring and not moving. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Still no movement. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! Jessie is down and OUT and it's OVER! And your winner by KO2 is 'The Sexy Sequoia' Marie Temara!"
McCarthy: "Big STIFF. I can't WAIT until Lawley gets a hold of HER..."
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Marie Temara, and, Marie, she got AFTER you early..."
Marie (smiling): "Yeah. I have to admit, I didn't expect that. But, she's not going to slug with me. Nobody is. So, I wasn't really concerned. If she was going to stand in front of me, I WAS going to get her, and I did."
Tess: "What's next for you?"
Marie (smiling): "I just can't wait to get back to work. I'm up for JMDD, beach, or another welter fight. Whatever management wants. Just get me back in action."
