BEFORE:
"This girl may just become a top-shelf fighter," Missy says with a nod. "She has the tools, that's for sure. Her problem tonight is, I already AM a top shelf fighter. And, that will make all the difference."
"She's a Hall of Famer," says Kennedy. "And, she's won here before. But, tonight, I've got to get the job done. And, I will."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Enough Is Enough' by Avicii, and here comes Hall of Famer Missy Peregrym!"
McCarthy: "Weirdo made a BIG mistake here. Peregrym's a real fighter and he has her in there with this FRAUD..."
Tess: "HERE we go..."
McCarthy: "For YOUR information, Walmart, I'm NOT going to get upset about that FRAUD tonight, because I KNOW Weirdo is just doing this to roast my goat, and I'm not gong to LET him..."
Cassie: "Roast..."
Tess: "Worth it, BFF..."
Cassie: "Good point."
O'Dell: "Missy into the ring and helped off with the robe to reveal a deep gold bikini and a body that's clearly in TOP shape for this one...."
Oh the shark, babe
Has such teeth, dear...
McCarthy: "I am PERFECTLY calm. He's NOT going to butter my bread..."
Cassie: "She's just making stuff UP now..."
O'Dell: "And, that song you hear is 'Mack The Knife' by Bobby Darin and here comes Kennedy 'Mac The Knife' McMann..."
McCarthy: "SHE IS NOT MAC THE KNIFE! I'M MAC THE KNIFE AND HE STOLE MY SONG AND MY GIMMICK AND GAVE IT TO THAT FRAUD OF A DANCING HOOKER AND I'LL SUE! I'LL SUE HIM FOR EVERY PENNY HE HAS! I'LL SUE! DO YOU HEAR ME? I'LL SUUUUUUEEEEEEEE!"
Tess: "They HEAR you on Mars..."
McCarthy: "SHUT. UP. WALMARRRRTTTT!"
O'Dell: "Drink up, boys, and drink in the lovely Ms. McMann as she's helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve to reveal that lavender number she likes. Time for some picks. Tess likes Kennedy. Mac?"
McCarthy: "SHE IS A TALENTLESS FRAUD AND PEREGRYM IS GOING TO PUMMEL HER!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "There's the bell. Missy quickly doing what she does, using all that athleticism to take the fight to the younger woman. Brunette is here, there and everywhere, bouncing around, popping forward, getting off in combination, slipping counters and circling away."
McCarthy: "The FRAUD is in with a REAL boxer. This is going to be FUN!"
O'Dell: "Looking like MISSY is having fun right now. No recon necessary for the veteran. She's finding chinks in the armor and exploiting them extremely well, which, of course, is no surprise. McMann landing here and there, mostly one-punch stuff, as Peregrym fights lead here."
Tess: "McMann can't get anything going, and that's clearly exactly what Peregrym planned."
O'Dell: "It is, and the plan is operating to perfection right now. She's got everything going as she takes the fight to the younger woman. We've got just seconds left in the opening frame. Nice combination, Missy, and there's the bell. No doubt about this one. Peregrym and wide."
Cassie: "And, Missy takes the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Into the second and McMann cutting distance now. Kennedy normally likes to work at range, but she's stepping to in order to get angles to cut the ring down and limit Missy's movement. Nice adjustment from the redhead and it's leading to a good, two-way round..."
Cassie: "Missy can fight like this, and she can WIN like this, but it's hard for YOU to win if she's able to move freely."
O'Dell: "Just about impossible, and that's why the younger woman's made that adjustment. Kennedy putting punches together well now, landing some power shots. Missy giving as good as she gets in there. The Hall of Famer doesn't take a back seat to many lights when it comes to power..."
McCarthy: "I can't WAIT until she knocks the FRAUD out!"
O'Dell: "May have to wait a bit longer, because we're down under fifteen seconds in what's been a very competitive second round. SHARP exchange there and both heads snap back. And, there's the bell. Very close this time, but the redhead is going to get the points."
Tess: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "McMann a little more aggressive in this round, pushing forward, cutting the ring, looking to bring her power to bear on the brunette. Missy firing back and some heavy exchanges are resulting. Both women landing hard, accurate shots and MISSY IS ROCKED BY A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND!"
Tess: "NO idea how she took that and stayed on her feet!"
O'Dell: "And, the younger woman is all in, letting the hands go, backing her rival up with heavy fire. McMann trying to finish this thing now, trapping Peregrym on the ropes and having at her, digging some body to try to bring the guard down, then going back upstairs..."
McCarthy: "Watch for low blows from the FRAUD!"
O'Dell: "Under thirty seconds to go. Ref looking in closely now, as Kennedy calls in artillery strikes. Missy defending well in a tight guard, firing back in spots, running clock. She's going to survive the round. There's the bell. A big round for Kennedy, who takes it wide."
Cassie: "But, Missy still standing, even if she'd down 29-28."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "McMann determined to finish now. She's after Missy right off the bell. Brunette giving some ground here, trying to get some space. Kennedy stepping to and EATING A RIGHT HAND FROM MISSY! Peregrym ROCKS the redhead with a BOOMING right and McMann is steppin' in fence post holes!"
McCarthy: "YES! FINISH HER! FINISH HER!'
O'Dell: "Peregrym clinically battering McMann. She's setting up punches with sharp left jabs, dropping power blows on the wobbling redhead and SENDING HER TO THE CANVAS WITH A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND! What a shot by Missy, and Kennedy is flat on her back!"
Cassie: "That might do it..."
O'Dell: "Missy to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. Kennedy rolling to her belly at six. Pushing to hands and knees at seven. Eight. McMann to her feet at nine! Ref going to give her the mandatory and wave on Missy! Peregrym banging away, forcing the redhead into the ropes. Ref looking in. Final seconds ticking off...there's the bell! Kennedy hangs on, but Missy grabs the round 10-8."
Tess: "And leads 38-37,"
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "Peregrym in control here. McMann clearly still wobbly, and Missy's taking full advantage, walking the younger girl down behind the jab, hammering away with hard right hands to the head, backing Kennedy to the ropes now and getting after her in a BIG way..."
McCarthy: "She'll have to knock her out! This hometown ref will NEVER stop it!"
O'Dell: "Missy again clinical, setting everything up, hammering away at Kennedy. McMann in a high, tight guard, leaning back in the ropes, putting the body on sale. Missy buying, but not in bulk. She's willing to bang away down there in spots, but she's looking to finish..."
Tess: "Kennedy just trying to run clock here..."
O'Dell: "And, that's about all she's managing to do. Missy's been in command from the outset. The Canadian's piling up points and punishment as we roll into the final seconds of the fifth. GOOD right from Peregrym gets the ref's attention, and there's the bell. Shutout, Missy."
Cassie: "And, Peregrym leads 48-46 at the half."
ROUND SIX:
O'Dell: "Missy pressing forward, but she's slowed the work rate now. The Canadian used up a TON of energy in those last couple of rounds, and, while Peregrym's in as good a shape as anyone in the FCBA, she IS approaching 41 years old, so slowing things down might be necessary..."
Cassie: "Kennedy's legs firming up some right now. She's firing back in spots."
O'Dell: "Is, indeed, and she's landing some good shot for the first time since Missy took over the fight. Peregrym still giving as good as she's getting, though. She's built a lead and she's not about to take a round off here and give part of it away. SHARP exchange there and both fighters land a good punch."
McCarthy: "Just a matter of time now. Missy's got this FRAUD right where she wants her."
O'Dell: "We're under twenty seconds left in this slower-paced sixth. Not a lot in it at the moment. Both fighters working the feet, jabbing, looking for an opening for a power punch. Five seconds. Good right by Kennedy and there's the bell. Dead even in the sixth."
Tess: "And that means Missy maintains her two-point lead, 58-56."
ROUND SEVEN:
O'Dell: "Into the seventh and the work rate rises on both sides now. Missy bouncing around again, getting that jab out, looking to follow on with hard right hands. Kennedy stepping forward, wants to close distance to cut the ring, and she's having some success doing it..."
Tess: "McMann's legs all the way back, Jenny."
O'Delll: "Definitely are and she's making good use of them, as you need to in a fight against a girl like Peregrym. Missy circling, popping forward for a nice flurry and KENNEDY DRILLS HER WITH A RIGHT HAND! Brunette in trouble and DOWN SHE GOES!"
McCarthy: "GET UP, YOU BUM! GET UPPPPPP!"
O'Dell: "A NASTY right hook and Missy down on her right side! Kennedy to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. Peregrym rolling to her belly at six, crawling to the ropes at seven. Grabs the bottom to start climbing. Eight. Nine...TEN! It's OVER! Missy still on her knees at ten and it's OVER, and your winner by KO7 is Kennedy 'Mac The Knife' McMann!"
McCarthy: "FAST COUNT! FAST COUNT!"
Cassie: "I'd say Mac's head was about to explode if there were anything IN there..."
McCarthy: "SHUT UP, SCABBO! I WAS ROBBED!"
Tess: "Um...you weren't fighting, Mac..."
McCarthy: "You know what I mean, WALMART! YOU SHUT UP, TOO!"
O'Dell: "Drink up, boys, in the full knowledge that I'm jusssttttt about to join you..."
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Kennedy McMann, and Kennedy, a huge win for you..."
Kennedy (smiling and nodding): "No doubt. I've been in there with some good fighters, and she's as good as any of them. There's a reason she's in the Hall of Fame. But, I found a way back after she got me, and I got her out of there. Huge. Yeah. It's huge."
Tess: "So, is the future still both light and welter for you?"
Kennedy (nodding): "Absolutely. I can fight both and I'm going to fight both. And, I can't wait to get in the ring again!"
"This girl may just become a top-shelf fighter," Missy says with a nod. "She has the tools, that's for sure. Her problem tonight is, I already AM a top shelf fighter. And, that will make all the difference."
"She's a Hall of Famer," says Kennedy. "And, she's won here before. But, tonight, I've got to get the job done. And, I will."
