BEFORE:
"She's all about getting in there and brawling," says Allison with a smile. "But. I can BOX. And that will be the difference tonight."
"She can absolutely box," says Mikayla with a smile of her own. "But, it's going to be hard to do that lying on the canvas."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Hallelujah', by the great Leonard Cohen..."
Tess: "And, before you START, Mac, that is NOT the late Mr. Cohen singing, it's the woman coming to the ring right now, Allison Williams..."
McCarthy: "SHUT. UP. WALMART!"
O'Dell: "Drink up, boys, as the lovely brunette climbs into the ring and is helped off with the robe. Crowd popping for Ms. Williams in that floral number we've seen before..."
McCarthy: "These Philly fans are clearly blind. She looks like a BOY..."
O'Dell: "And, that's 'Behold The Hurricane' by the Horrible Crows, and here comes Mikayla 'Mass Destruction' Demaiter!"
Cassie: "Mikayla ALSO off to a good start for Front Street and being pushed a lot of places, including JMD and the beach..."
McCarthy: "Also getting her record puffed up against cream puffs, just like a typical Dancing Hooker!"
O'Dell: "Demaiter into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve, and the crowd loving the beautiful blonde in that cobalt blue bikini she likes..."
McCarthy: "Not 'Playboy' material, but, OK, I guess..."
Tess: "Truck, bring Mac some new glasses..."
McCarthy: "SHUT UP, WALMART!"
O'Dell: "We're going for the record. Drink up, boys. And, it's time for some picks. Tess likes Mikayla. Mac?"
McCarthy: "NO FCBA wins. Demaiter!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "Unanimous again, and Williams getting her box on early. Brunette does not want to mix it up with Mikayla, at least not yet. Instead, she's moving the feet, jabbing, looking to put punches together on the outside..."
Tess: "Probably a good strategy, because Demaiter has a TON of power for a bantam..."
O'Dell: "Demaiter patient, working the feet, looking to get past the jab and get inside. When she does, she works some body, then goes back upstairs. Williams keeping those exchanges short, quickly slipping away to open canvas..."
McCarthy: "I like the way this kid MOVES."
O'Dell: "No doubt, she's plenty athletic, and she's ranging around the ring right now, snapping jabs, moving those feet, making things very difficult on Mikayla. Demaiter staying patient, working hard right to the bell. Not a lot in it, but Williams takes it."
Tess: "And grabs the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "More of the same in the second. Williams determined to stick and move. Demaiter wants close quarter combat if she can get it. And, both fighters are getting some, but not all of what they want here. Demaiter stepping to and getting to work now..."
Tess: "Working a lot of body..."
O'Dell: "Definitely has to be thinking of getting into those legs. Williams is tough to deal with on the move. As athletic as Mikayla, a former hockey player, IS, she's still having trouble bringing Allison to battle as the brunette ranges across the ring..."
McCarthy: "REALLY liking what I see from this kid. Maybe I'll talk to Sceej..."
O'Dell: "Down under twenty seconds to go. It's been another good, two-way round between blonde and brunette and there's not much in it. Final seconds ticking away as Demaiter steps to and works body, and there's the bell. Close again. Mikayla."
Cassie: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Nothing's broken and nobody's trying to fix anything at the moment. Both blonde and brunette working to impose terms here, and it's all about who gets what. When Williams is able to range around the ring, she's getting much the better of it..."
Cassie: "But, Demaiter's working hard to cut."
O'Dell: "Definitely is. And, when she can do that, she's able to get inside and work body, head, body. Bring that power to bear. On those terms, it's Demaiter who piles up the points. And, once again, both fighters are getting some of what they want..."
McCarthy: "Ref needs to watch for low blows in there. This girl is trained by that dirty CAMPBELL..."
O'Dell: "Down the stretch we come in a third very competitive round. Demaiter tied up in there now. Williams hangs on, waits for the break and then gets back to movement. Final seconds tick away and there's the bell. Close again. Williams."
Tess: "And, Allison is back on top 29-28."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "Ladies back to work and both again working for terms. Demaiter moving the head, angling, trying to get inside where she can bring that power to bear. She's worked over those toned abs of Williams quite a bit already..."
Tess: "But, Allison shipping that shell pretty well."
O'Dell: "Appears to be, yes. Meanwhile, Williams able to find some space, get the jab working, move those feet. She really is VERY effective as a boxer. Very. Mikayla cuts the ring now, gets inside, works some more body before the brunette slips away..."
McCarthy: "Just keep boxing this kid and sooner or later, you'll get her."
O'Dell: "Might well be Allison's plan. That or take this to the cards. And, she might do well if she can get it there. Just ten seconds left in yet another tight round. GOOD right hand from Demaiter there, and there's the bell. Close again. Mikayla."
Cassie: "Even again, this time at 38."
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "Fifth round looking a lot like the four rounds before it. Nobody bothering to change anything. It's Williams working with the jab at range while Demaiter angles, looking to close and bang. Both fighters having some success..."
Cassie: "And, sometimes you get fights like this. Both girls confident in what they're doing and they ride with it."
O'Dell: "That's exactly what's happening right now. Demaiter inside, working ribs and tummy. Williams ties up, slips away to open ocean. Mikayla cutting, stepping to and ROCKING ALLISON WITH A RIGHT HOOK! Williams HURT and DOWN SHE GOES! Demaiter a short left hook SPILLS THE BRUNETTE TO HER BACK!"
Tess: "That might do it..."
O'Dell: "Demaiter to a neutral corner. Williams flat on her back, eyes wide, looking up at the referee. Count at three. Four. Five. Allison rolling to her belly at six. Seven. Eight. Pushing up to all fours. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! Williams still on hands and knees as the count passes her by and it's OVER! And your winner by KO5 is Mikayla 'Mass Destruction' Demaiter!"
McCarthy: "Lucky. Just lucky."
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Mikayla Demaiter, and, Mikayla, lots of two-way stuff in there, but you just stuck to the fight plan..."
Mikayla (nodding): "I knew what I could do. She's a good boxer, good athlete, moves well. I knew I'd have to be patient, but I'd get my shot. I got it. And, I didn't waste it."
Tess: "You've been VERY busy since coming to Front Street. Five fights in six months..."
Mikayla: "And, I plan to stay busy. We still have two months to go in 2023 and I want to be in there at least once more!"
"She's all about getting in there and brawling," says Allison with a smile. "But. I can BOX. And that will be the difference tonight."
"She can absolutely box," says Mikayla with a smile of her own. "But, it's going to be hard to do that lying on the canvas."
