BEFORE:
"Reinhart is a top bantam, Sara admits. "Which will make it mean that much more when I beat her."
"Sara's got plenty of talent," Lili says with a nod. She just needs regular work. But, talent or no, she's not getting her hand raised tonight."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Let's Go Dancing' by Tiga, and here comes the lovely Sara Sampaio..."
McCarthy: "ONE FCBA win! ONE! The only people who bring in more stiffs than Weirdo are morticians!"
O'Dell: "Sara into the ring and helped off with the robe, and the crowd popping for the lovely brunette in that marigold number we've seen before. And, that's 'What I've Done' by Linkin Park, and here comes 'Diamond' Lili Reinhart!"
Tess: "Reinhart looking to regain the bantam gold this year, and, if she wants to stay in the title picture, she needs a win tonight."
O'Dell: "Lili wasting no time getting down the aisle and into the ring. She's helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve to reveal that white number she prefers, and the ladies are about ready. Time for some picks. Tess likes Lili. Mac?"
McCarthy: "ONE FCBA win! Reinhart!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "Unanimous panel again, and Lili out to prove them right early. Reinhart looking to get physical here, stepping forward behind that left, backing the brunette down. Sampaio wants range, wants to box, but Reinhart having none of that right now..."
Cassie: "We've seen Sara box at range very effectively...."
O'Dell: "Sure has, and that may be why Lili doesn't want to play that game, at least at the moment. And, she's dictating terms nicely right now, backing up Sampaio, forcing her onto the defensive with hard, accurate shot. Blonde's got it going early."
Tess: "And, if this keeps up, the brunette is in DEEP trouble."
O'Dell: "Would appear that way. We're coming down the stretch in the opening stanza, and, aside from a few effective counters from Sara, it's been all Lili. NICE combination by Reinhart, and there's the bell. Not close in the first. Lili."
McCarthy: "And, Reinhart gets the early 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Reinhart again working forward as we start the second, but Sampaio creating space with the feet now. She's moving laterally, giving a little ground here and there, working that jab, and it's having an effect. Lili no longer able to get the brunette going backward..."
McCarthy: "Nice adjustment by the kid."
O'Dell: "And, it's resulting in more two-way stuff. Reinhart still getting to her spots and getting off, but now Sara's able to hold her own by scoring at range. All a matter of terms right now. Brunette in charge when she's on the gun platform, blonde in control when she's coming forward."
Tess: "And, both fighters are getting some of what they want."
O'Dell: "Final seconds ticking away in what's been a very closely run second. SHARP exchange there with Sara landing a nice right hand and there's the bell. Very close in the second stanza, but Sampaio is going to get the points."
Cassie: "And even things at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Third begins with Sara doubling up that jab, moving the feet, doing everything possible to keep the blonde at range. Lili taking more fire than she has at any other point in this one, as it now seems like it's Sampaio who's got it going..."
McCarthy: "Good stuff from the kid. Good stuff."
O'Dell: "Reinhart trying to get forward and get off, but she's mostly being frustrated right now. Sara's slowing her advances with accurate leather and then following on with nice combinations. Lili resolute, but not very effective."
Cassie: "Can't seem to solve the defenses right now."
O'Dell: "Can not. We're down to the last fifteen seconds of this one. NICE combination by Sampaio and then ANOTHER. Five seconds left. GOOD right hand from the brunette and there's the bell. Not close. Sampaio gets the points..."
Tess: "And pulls into the 29-28 lead."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "Fourth underway and Reinhart boring forward now. She's got the gloves high and the head tucked and she's angling, picking off that jab, stepping to, going body, making Sara very uncomfortable. Sampaio giving ground, trying to get space..."
McCarthy: "Just keep moving, kid. Keep moving."
O'Dell: "That seems to be the plan, but, at the moment, it's not working. Lili's pressuring, crowding, banging to body, then going back upstairs. Reinhart's gone from working at middle distances to working inside and it's having a positive effect for the blonde."
Tess: "Most certainly is. Things are getting very physical."
O'Dell: "Down under twenty seconds to go in this one. Lili's been in control from the opening bell, and that's not going to change. Sara unhurt, but she's definitely getting the worst of things. GOOD right hand, Lili, and there's the bell. Reinhart. Wide."
Cassie: "And, we're even at 38."
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "Reinhart continuing the pressure game as we begin the fifth. Sara giving ground, trying to manage with the jab and the feet, but she's not getting that done. Blonde not just getting to spots and getting off now. She's working inside, banging body and landing hard shots to the head."
Cassie: "Sara's got to find a way to slow this down..."
O'Dell: "Does, indeed, because she's getting touched up and roughed up and ROCKED WITH A RIGHT HOOK! Sampaio all WOBBLY BUTT as Lili begins letting the hands go. Reinhart a SOLID right hand and DOWN GOES SARA!"
Tess: "That might do it..."
O'Dell: "Lili quickly to a neutral corner. Brunette down on her back. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Sampaio rolling to her belly at six. Pushing to hands and knees at seven. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! Sara still on all fours as the count passes her by and it's OVER and your winner by KO5 is 'Diamond' Lili Reinhart!"
McCarthy: "Lucky punch!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Lili Reinhart, and, Lili, looked like you found something in that fourth round..."
Lili (nodding): "She's tough to deal with. A lot of length and she's quick. She's good defensively. I knew I'd need to find ways to get my offense going. But, once I did, I got her out of there."
Tess: "I'd ask what's next for you, but, I'm pretty sure I know..."
Lili (smiling): "I want that gold back, Tess. Whatever gets me closer, that's what's next."
"Reinhart is a top bantam, Sara admits. "Which will make it mean that much more when I beat her."
"Sara's got plenty of talent," Lili says with a nod. She just needs regular work. But, talent or no, she's not getting her hand raised tonight."
