BEFORE:
"I think," says Paige with a smile, "That my management must have a soft spot for Front Street or something. Why ELSE would they send ME, the JMD champion, three straight wins in title matches, to a second-level event to fight a second-level girl. We HAVE to be doing them a favor. But. I WON'T be doing Mudd any favors in the ring."
"I've been working toward this opportunity for six years," says a hard-eyed Sophie. "And, now that it's here? I AM going to take advantage of it. No matter WHAT Paige thinks."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Hotter Than Hell' by Dua Lipa you hear, and here comes 'Sultry' Sophie Mudd!"
Cassie: "Uncle Wiz, as always, showing class, giving Paige the championship honors..."
McCarthy: "Weirdo has class like school in the summer..."
O'Dell: "Sophie into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve and the crowd giving it up for Ms. Mudd in that Egyptian blue number she likes. And, that's 'Barbie World' by Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj, and here comes reigning JMD Champion Paige Spiranac with her second Lola Vice!"
Tess: "Paige has had a pretty meteoric rise in the FCBA. Her first fight was just over a year ago, and she's already gotten TWO JMD title shots, cashing the most recent one against Mia Khalifa."
McCarthy: "And, the kid not only has a winning record, she's 12-2 against top competition. Again, Weirdo had to be drunk when he booked this..."
O'Dell: "Paige and Lola into the ring and the latter is helped off with the robe. The crowd giving some serious pop to the JMD Champ in that stars and stripes bikini! Ladies about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Paige. Mac?"
McCarthy: "Spiranac. Easily."
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I think Sophie brings home Front Street's first JMD title!"
O'Dell: "There's the bell and Paige wasting no time. She's coming forward, right after Mudd, backing the brunette up with solid shot to both head and body. Spiranac fights a risk-taking style, but it's paid off for her, because she has the physicals to back it up..."
Tess: "She's definitely got Sophie in reverse..."
O'Dell: "And, the blonde KEEPING her there, working Mudd over to head and body. Brunette backing and covering, can't get the feet set. She's landing the odd solid counter, but that's about all she can muster at the moment..."
McCarthy: "Outclassed. Weirdo should have dumped her when she spit the bit against Duff..."
O'Dell: "Down the stretch in the first. Champ has been in control throughout, and that's not looking like changing. GOOD right hand, Paige and Sophie lands a nice rejoinder at the bell. Not close in the first. The points go to the champion..."
Cassie: "And, Spiranac grabs the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Spiranac continuing to control things. She's not exactly damning ALL torpedoes, but she's not paying them a lot of attention, either. She's determined to impose will physically here, and that's exactly what she's doing..."
McCarthy: "Weirdo might fire this kid DURING the fight. She's getting TOASTED..."
O'Dell: "No question the blonde is getting the better of the brunette at the moment. Question is, can Sophie do something about that. Paige getting work done to both head and body once again. Mudd reduced to the odd solid counter..."
Cassie: "Got to get off the back foot."
O'Dell: "Does, indeed, but, at the moment, Paige not allowing that to happen. Instead, as the final seconds tick away in the second, it's been another dominant round for Spiranac who comes close to the shutout. There's the bell. Paige. Wide."
Tess: "And now up two, 20-18."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Mudd heard it in the corner from Campbell between rounds and she's setting those feet and firing back now. Paige not at all cowed by this and WE'VE GOT A FIREFIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! Blonde and brunette GETTING AFTER IT NOW!"
Tess: "And, both landing some SHOTS!"
O'Dell: "Yes, they are, to both head and body. Some JUG being worked, too, as Paige wants to continue imposing will and Sophie's no longer having it. NICE right from Mudd backs up the champion, but Paige right back in her face with a nice combination..."
Cassie: "They are letting the leather FLY..."
O'Dell: "Indeed, they are! Crowd on its feet as we roll under ten seconds in the first. BIG exchange there, with both fighters' heads being SNAPPED back, and there's the bell. Close for the first time tonight. Points go to the challenger."
McCarthy: "And Spiranac still leads 29-28."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "Fourth underway and the ladies right back at it. They're throwing heavy shot and the challenger backs up the champ with a HARD flurry. Now, it's Paige on the back foot and Sophie working to keep her there. Mudd pressing forward here..."
McCarthy: "Come into my parlor..."
O'Dell: "Right now, the brunette's looking a lot more like the spider than the fly. For the first time, SHE'S imposing will on the champion. She's got Paige in retreat. She's working head, body, hooking some rack. This is good stuff from Mudd..."
Tess: "Definitely her best round of the night so far..."
O'Dell: "No question about it. We're coming down the stretch, and, while the champion is not hurt, she's taken the worst of it this stanza in a BIG way. GOOD right from Sophie and that backed up Paige right at the bell. Staredown! Oh, this is getting REAL in there! Mudd takes the round. Wide."
Cassie: "And, we're even at 38."
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "Mudd pushing the issue now. She's established some control for the first time tonight and she's not going to...RIGHT HAND, PAIGE AND DOWN GOES SOPHIE! Oh, what a right-hand counter from Spiranac and Mudd is dropped to her back!"
McCarthy: "TOLD you! A Paige Spiranac fight can end at ANY time!"
O'Dell: "Paige to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. Sophie sitting up at six. Seven. Eight. Mudd to her feet at nine. Ref gives her the mandatory and waves on PAIGE! Spiranac going all in now, battering the challenger into the ropes..."
Cassie: "Got to try to ride this out..."
O'Dell: "That's what she's doing, but Paige just HAMMERING at the challenger, working upstairs, then down, pounding tummy, then uppercutting jug, just PUNISHING the brunette. Ref looking in closely. Ten seconds to go in the round. GOOD right from Spiranac and there's the bell. HUGE round for the champ."
Tess: "10-8 for sure, putting Paige up 48-46 at the half."
ROUND SIX:
O'Dell: "Spiranac consolidating her gains early. She's backing up Mudd with heavy shot. Sophie's shaken some of the damage, but clearly not all of it. Brunette playing D, giving ground, countering here and there as Paige looks for the finisher..."
McCarthy: "Just a matter of time..."
O'Dell: "GOOD right hand from the blonde backs Sophie up a step and MUDD ROCKS HER WITH A RIGHT HAND COUNTER! Sophie lands a BLISTERING right and Paige is RUMBLIN', STUMBLIN', FUMBLIN' around the ring! Mudd stepping to, WORKING that rack with uppercuts, then DROPPING THE CHAMP WITH A RIGHT HOOK!"
Cassie: "WHAT A SHOT!"
O'Dell: "Crowd going NUTS here! Mudd to a neutral corner. Paige down on her right side. Count at three. Four. Five. Spiranac pushes to elbow and haunch at six. Gets to hands and knees at seven. Eight...and she SINKS BACK TO THE CANVAS! Nine. TEN! It's OVER! It's OVER! Spiranac can't beat the count and your winner by KO6 and NEW JMD Champion is 'Sultry' Sophie Mudd!"
Tess: "Wow! Just. Wow."
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "It is a mob scene in here with, basically, the entire Front Street stable and front office crew here to celebrate with the new JMD Champion, Sophie Mudd. And, Sophie, it looked like she had you in trouble in there and you turned it around pretty quickly..."
Sophie (nodding): "She's VERY aggressive and I knew that coming in. I knew she'd get her licks in. But, I also knew I'd get MINE in. It was all about finishing when I got my shot. And, that's exactly what I did!"
Tess: "OK, here comes the terrible reporter question. How does it feel to be JMD Champion?"
Sophie (smiling): "When everybody was talking about me getting replaced and released a few months ago? Pretty damn good, Tess! Pretty damn good!"
"I think," says Paige with a smile, "That my management must have a soft spot for Front Street or something. Why ELSE would they send ME, the JMD champion, three straight wins in title matches, to a second-level event to fight a second-level girl. We HAVE to be doing them a favor. But.
