BEFORE:
"It's bittersweet," Amanda says with a smile. "I mean, I love coming back here. I had some good times here and won some fights. I just wish I'd have had a little more time to break through. But, that's water under the bridge. Tonight, I've got a job to do. And, I'm GOING to do it."
"Oh, I get the whole 'homecoming' storyline," says a hard-eyed Billie. "But, I'M the one who's going to get the job done tonight."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Mama Mia' by ABBA..."
Tess: "I asked over and over again to get this music changed..."
O'Dell: "And, here comes former Front Streeter Amanda Seyfried!"
McCarthy: "Another Failed Dancing Hooker. There are enough of them in the streets now. Maybe that can be Weirdo's new theme. Failed Dancing Hooker Night..."
O'Dell: "Amanda into the ring and helped off with the robe, and the crowd popping for Ms. Seyfried in that yellow number she likes. And, that's 'You Should See Me In A Crown' you hear behind us, and here comes the singer of that tune, 'Buxom' Billie Eilish!"
Tess: "Eilish has been a major success story for Front Street so far..."
Cassie: "Sure has, and still getting better every time out."
O'Dell: "Billie into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve, and she's getting some pop of her own for that emerald number we've seen before. Ladies about ready. Time for some picks. Tess likes Billie. Mac?"
McCarthy: "Failed Dancing Hooker! Eilish!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!:
O'Dell: "And, we're underway. Billie right forward, wants to take the fight to Amanda, which, of course, is Eilish's M.O. Seyfried ready for that, countering nicely, giving a little ground, blocking and slipping, staying at middle distances..."
Tess: "Don't want to be in the phone booth with her..."
O'Dell: "That, you do NOT, and Amanda's making sure not to be there. Seyfried showing a lot of those things that made her attractive to more than one stable. She's slick and she smart and she moves very well, and she's getting the better of things at the moment..."
McCarthy: "Sure is. Countering VERY effectively."
O'Dell: "Down the stretch in the first, and, while Billie's continuing to try to get it going, it's been Amanda who's gotten the work done. SHARP exchange there, and Seyfried came out on top, just as she will in the round. There's the bell and it's Amanda wide."
Cassie: "And, Seyfried grabs the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Second underway and Eilish backing off on the throttle a bit here. She's still working forward, looking to bang, but she's angling now, setting up punches better, leaving Amanda fewer opportunities to counter, at least at the moment..."
McCarthy: "Seyfried still countering well, though."
O'Dell: "Sure is. She's giving ground in spots, but she's not on the back foot. Eilish, though, doing better both on offense and defense, and the result is a good two-way round without a lot in it. Both fighters getting some work done."
Cassie: "Some slick stuff from both girls right now..."
O'Dell: "No question about it. We're down under fifteen seconds remaining in this one. Nice exchange there and both fighters landed a solid right hand. Ladies fall into a clinch. Ref breaks them, and there's the bell. Close. Billie."
Tess: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Back to work in the third. Eilish still pressuring soundly. Seyfried wants to work in the counter, and she's continuing to do so very well. Amanda may be slicker defensively than we've ever seen her, Mac. She's slipping and blocking VERY well..."
McCarthy: "Get a girl away from these horrible Front Street trainers and she can LEARN something..."
O'Dell: "Eilish stepping in and working a little body, but Amanda quickly extricates herself from the situation, gets back to middle distances. Billie angling forward, hook to the body and ROCKS AMANDA WITH A STRAIGHT RIGHT! Seyfried GOBSMACKED and DOWN SHE GOES!"
Cassie (singing): "Turn out the liiiigggghhhhtttsssss. The party's ohhhhhverrrrrr..."
O'Dell: "A VICIOUS short right hook and Amanda crashes to her back. Eilish to a neutral corner. No movement from Seyfried at all. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Not going to matter. Six. Seven. Amanda both down and OUT. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! And your winner by KO3 is 'Buxom' Billie Eilish!"
Tess: "This girl sure can finish..."
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Billie Eilish, and, Billie, she has an excellent counter game...:
Billie (nodding): "Amanda's a good fighter. Slick. Smart. You go rounds with her, you might end up on the short end of the cards. So. I wasn't going rounds."
Tess: "It's been another excellent year for you. Are you thinking one more fight in 2023?"
Billie: "Absolutely, Tess. At least one. At least."
"It's bittersweet," Amanda says with a smile. "I mean, I love coming back here. I had some good times here and won some fights. I just wish I'd have had a little more time to break through. But, that's water under the bridge. Tonight, I've got a job to do. And, I'm GOING to do it."
