BEFORE:
"It's been a while," says Elizabeth with a lovely smile. "Way back in 2016. But, I'm pleased to be back and get a chance to pull an upset over a girl like Kristen. Only, I won't consider it an upset!"
"She's a good fighter," admits Kristen. "Probably should have had a title shot in the FCBA. But, we all know how that goes at flyweight. But, as good as she is, she's not good enough. Not tonight, anyway."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Anything Can Happen' by Ellie Goulding, but, that's not the lovely Ms. Goulding coming to the ring, it's British beauty Elizabeth Henstridge!"
McCarthy: "And, normally I'd say Weirdo is slipping, bringing in a girl who a winning record, but, he's not, because he's bringing her in to fight his one REAL fighter!"
O'Dell: "Henstridge into the ring and helped off with the robe and she's looking plenty good in that burgundy number if the crowd can be believed. And, that's 'Helter Skelter' by the Beatles you hear pounding through the arena, and that can only mean that 'The Five-Tool Player', Kristen Stewart, is on her way to the ring!"
McCarthy: "FINALLY! A REAL fighter!"
Tess: "Stewart one of, really, only two Front Street girls doing much work at fly right now..."
Cassie: "And, she's definitely looking to get another shot at the flyweight belts, and, to do that, she needs to get a result tonight..."
O'Dell: "K-Stew taps glove to fist with Mac on the way by the table, then climbs into the ring to be helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve, and the crowd clearly liking what they see of Kristen in that lime green two-piece she likes. Ladies about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes K-Stew. Mac?"
McCarthy: "REAL fighter. Kristen!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "Here we go. K-Stew has the reach here, and she's using it early, making with that jab, looking to create the range she wants. American loves to box, and no wonder as accurate as she is. Henstridge, though, has been here before in terms of giving up length..."
Cassie: "And you can see she's handling it pretty well."
O'Dell: "Is, indeed. Moving the feet, slipping past the jab, getting to spots at middle distances and getting off. It's good, two-way stuff in the opening round. Neither fighter really committing on anything here, as they gather information all while scoring points in the opener..."
McCarthy: "This girl isn't going to make a living boxing K-Stew..."
O'Dell: "Henstridge holding her own pretty well at the moment, though. It's all about the movement and the angles for the British beauty. Meanwhile, Kristen continuing to work the jab and the feet as the final seconds tick away. There's the bell. Close in the opener to Stewart."
Tess: "And, K-Stew takes the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Into the second and Henstridge getting some things going. She's getting to her spots now and getting off in combination, showing a lot more aggression in the second. K-Stew trying to get the range she wants, giving a little ground. Elizabeth fighting lead now."
Cassie: "Henstridge hasn't been doing all that much of late, but she won 13 of 13 a few years back, including a couple of BBU fights. She's no pushover."
O'Dell: "She is NOT and she's showing that right now. Stewart having trouble finding the range with that jab. She's not missing, but Henstridge is slipping and blocking and that's making a TON of difference in the geometry here, which is ALL to the Brit's liking."
Tess: "Lots of excellent movement from Henstridge..."
O'Dell: "And, it's paying dividends. Under twenty to go in the round. Nice combination by Liz. She blocks a right hand from K-Stew, pops out of there and bounces on the balls of the feet at range. Stewart jabbing, jabbing. And, there's the bell. Not particularly close. Henstridge."
McCarthy: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Henstridge has it working, and she's not changing anything. She's bopping forward to middle distances, getting off in combination, blocking or slipping rejoinders. She's playing the angles for all they're worth here, and playing them very, very well while she's at it."
Tess: "K-Stew is the one who'll have to adjust here..."
O'Dell: "AND SHE LANDS A BIG RIGHT HAND! Stewart gets that left on target, holds Henstridge and then drops an absolute BOMB on her! British beauty rumblin', stumblin', fumblin' and GOING DOWN after a three-punch combination from the American!"
Cassie" Some REAL precision punching right there!"
O'Dell: "Kristen to a neutral corner. Elizabeth down on her right side. Count at three. Four. Five. Henstridge pushing up to elbow and haunch and six. Seven, eight. Hands and knees. Nine. TEN! It's over! Henstridge can't get off the deck and it's OVER and your winner by KO3 is 'The Five-Tool Player' Kristen Stewart!"
McCarthy: "There was never any doubt. Kid's a real fighter and J-Mac SAID so!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Cassie Scerbo!"
Cassie: "I have our winner, Kristen Stewart, and, K-Stew, you didn't waste a lot of time tonight..."
Kristen: "Girl like her, she can beat you, period. So, if you have a chance to get her out, you have to take it. And, that's exactly what I did."
Cassie: "So, what's next for you?"
Kristen (smiling): "Whatever you think up in that devious little mind of yours..."
Cassie (laughing): "I KNEW there was a reason I liked you!"
