BEFORE:
"It's almost amusing," says Skyler with a shake of the head. "THIS girl. I've got more of EVERYTHING than her. And, somehow, she's managed in the FCBA and I'm making my debut against her? Well. That's good for me. Bad for HER."
"Skyler certainly thinks a LOT of herself," says Cristy with a smile. "But, when I'm done with her, that opinion will change."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside Back at ringside and the four-sided giant screen lowered over the arena, which means Asylum Beach, with plenty of patio heaters and fire pits functioning, is about to get some use. And that's 'Inner' you hear behind us, and, across the sand comes the singer of that tune, the lovely Skyler Simpson..."
McCarthy: "Who, SHOCKINGLY, has NO FCBA WINS!"
O'Dell: "Simpson climbing through the ropes and being helped off with the robe and the crowd clearly impressed by Ms. Simpson in that sky blue number she's chosen. And, that's 'Back In The U.S.S.R.' by the Beatles booming through Asylum, and that's 'The Russian Revolution', Cristy Ren striding across the beach..."
Tess: "Ren had a great debut year, winning on the beach, at JMD, and at lightweight..."
Cassie: "And, will be working some welter this year, too."
O'Dell: "Brunette through the ropes and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. And, the crowd, as usual, giving it up for Cristy in that pink and green bikini she likes. Ladies about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Ren. Mac?"
McCarthy: "NO FCBA wins. Cristy!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "We're underway and the ladies wasting no time getting after one another, exchanging bombs in the middle of the sand and SIMPSON ROCKS REN! Cristy stumbling backward and nearly going down and Skyler is all in!"
McCarthy: "DUMB! Go in there and trade with a tyro in the first minute!"
O'Dell: "Blonde beauty letting the hands go, backing REN across the beach and to the ropes. Cristy taking in a high, tight guard. Skyler goes body, then back to the head. Newcomer not getting sloppy, but she's doing plenty of damage..."
Cassie: "Ref looking in VERY closely."
O'Dell: "Is, indeed. Ren tying up now, forcing a break, getting off the cables. Legs a little iffy, but seem to be coming around. Skyler still in control. She's scoring with both hands as Cristy manages to land in counter in spots. There's the bell. No doubt. Simpson. Wide."
Tess: "And Skyler grabs the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Simpson in control as we start the second. Ren seems to have shaken the worst of the damage, but the blonde's still fighting lead, coming forward soundly behind that left jab, backing the brunette across the sand..."
Tess: "Skyler's confidence has to be growing by the minute..."
O'Dell: "You'd think so, yes. Simpson getting a lot of work done right now. And, let's keep in mind that, while Simpson might be a newbie, Ren's only been fighting for six months herself. To paraphrase Lincoln, they are green alike..."
McCarthy: "Lincoln, who?"
O'Dell (sighing): "Final thirty seconds of the second, and the blonde's been getting the better of things the entire way. SHARP exchange there and Simpson landed a good right hand. And, there's the bell. Skyler wide for the second round in a row."
Cassie: "And, Simpson extends the lead to 20-18."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Third begins Skyler working forward. Cristy moving laterally now, circling, wants to create space to get her box on. Blonde not able to line up the brunette as easily and that's making a difference, as Ren's able to get some offense going..."
Cassie: "Cristy's athletic. Moves very well."
O'Dell: "And you're seeing that. You're also seeing Skyler's athleticism as she works to match footwork, square up, get off. It's two-way stuff for the first time in this one, sand flying as the ladies move across the beach boxing well."
McCarthy: "Palicki would have both of these tomato cans out of there by now."
O'Dell: "Ten seconds to go in a busy third round. Ladies exchange some heavy shot and Ren backs Simpson up a step. There's the bell. Not very much in it this time, but the brunette's going to get the points and get on the board."
Tess: "And, cut Simpson's lead to 29-28."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "Fourth starts like the third ended. Ladies on the move across the beach. Cristy bouncing around on her toes, moving laterally, forcing Skyler to work hard to square. Simpson willing to put in the effort so she can come forward behind the jab..."
Tess: "I continue to be impressed by Simpson staying sound like this in her first FCBA fight..."
O'Dell: "No doubt, the blonde is showing plenty of maturity. Meanwhile, Cristy's worked her way back from a poor start to get back in this thing. Once again, not much in it, as blonde and brunette are fighting on even terms..."
McCarthy: "Yawn! Two tomato cans..."
O'Dell: "Down under twenty seconds to go in a very competitive fourth. Ladies moving across the beach, kicking up sand. Ren popping that jab. Simpson steps through and works some body, and there's the bell. Nothing to choose. Even."
Cassie: "And, Skyler remains on top, 39-38."
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "Fifth underway and the pattern set. Blonde wants to come forward behind the left, brunette wants space to box and REN ROCKS SIMPSON! Cristy a PERFECT one two, and Skyler is ALL WOBBLY BUTT!"
Cassie: "Not sure how she's still on her feet!"
O'Dell: "She may not be for long. Ren POURING forward behind a barrage of heavy leather. Skyler quickly backed to the ropes and taking. Ref looking in as the brunette gets off lusty here. Blonde hanging on desperately..."
McCarthy: "This home town ref better not stop this..."
O'Dell: "Twenty seconds to go. Ren trying to get the finisher. Simpson jabbing back in spots, keeping the guard high. Ren hooking some body and there's the bell. BIG round for Cristy, who's going to take this thing wide."
Tess: "And even things at 48."
ROUND SIX:
O'Dell: "Ren pressing the advantage now, stepping forward, backing up the blonde. Simpson giving ground, keeping the guard high and ROCKING CRISTY WITH A RIGHT HAND COUNTER! Ren stumbles backward and DOWN SHE GOES!"
Tess: "NICE follow up flurry!"
O'Dell: "Three punch combination and it sent the brunette to her back in the sand. Skyler to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. Cristy sitting up at six. Seven. Eight. Ren to her feet at nine. Ref gives her the mandatory and waves on Skyler..."
McCarthy: "Time to finish her, kid..."
O'Dell: "That's what the blonde is thinking. She's pouring forward, buzz sawing punches. Ren giving ground, forced to the ropes. Skyler goes body, then back to the head. Ten seconds to go. Ref looking in, but Cristy rides it out to the bell. HUGE round for Simpson..."
Cassie: "And, she's back in the lead 58-56."
ROUND SEVEN:
O'Dell: "Seventh underway on Asylum beach, and it's Skyler Simpson charging across the sand to take the fight to Cristy Ren. Brunette still unsteady, and Simpson taking full advantage, driving her backward with flurry after flurry..."
Cassie: "Blonde looking to finish for sure."
O'Dell: "Definitely is. She's sitting down on everything, piling up the points and punishment as Cristy gives ground, hangs on. Blonde has the brunette trapped on the cables now, pouring fire at her. Ren trying to fire back in spots, keep the ref at bay..."
McCarthy: "Bought and paid for! He won't stop this..."
O'Dell: "Twenty seconds to go. GOOD right from Simpson shook Ren. Cristy ties up and holds on. Ref going to get in there and break them and Skyler right back to work, but there's the bell. Zero doubt about this one. Shutout, Simpson."
Tess: "And, Skyler now leads 68-65 with just three to go."
ROUND EIGHT:
O'Dell: "Simpson coming out more slowly to start this one. She used up a lot of energy in those last couple of rounds, may be a bit arm weary in this one. Whatever the case, she's coming forward, but not as aggressively..."
McCarthy: "Kid has a lead. You don't want to sit on it, but you can be careful."
O'Dell: "Meanwhile, Ren seeming to be shaking most of the damage. She's moving better. getting some offense in. Ladies fighting on fairly even terms right now, and that's definitely a positive for the brunette considering the way the last two went..."
Tess: "But, time is not on Cristy's side."
O'Dell: "It is not. And, there's not a lot of it left in this eighth round. Down under ten seconds as the ladies work at range. Ren popping that jab, Skyler looking to slip it, and there's the bell. Close, but Ren gets the points..."
Cassie: "And, she's within two, 77-75."
ROUND NINE:
O'Dell: "Ninth begins in familiar territory. Simpson working forward behind the left. Ren moving laterally, looking to box. Blonde seems to have shaken most of the fatigue from the last round, and Cristy's definitely got those legs under her..."
Cassie: "But, she's running out of time."
O'Dell: "No doubt about it. Down a pair in the ninth. RIGHT-HAND REN! And Simpson is hurt! Skyler wobbles and DOWN SHE GOES! A short right hook by Cristy and the blonde crashes to her right side in the sand!"
Tess: "That hook was NASTY!"
O'Dell: "Cristy across the beach to a neutral corner. Referee counting over Skyler. Three. Four. Five. Simpson rolls to her belly at six. Seven. Eight. Pushes to hands and knees at nine. TEN! It's over! The blonde can't beat the count and it's OVER and your winner by KO9 is 'The Russian Revolution', Cristy Ren!"
McCarthy: "More luck for Weirdo..."
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go across the street to Cassie Scerbo!"
Cassie: "I have our winner, Cristy Ren, and Cristy, that was quite the battle out there..."
Cristy (nodding): "She's got all the tools. No doubt about it. If she gets fights, she's going to beat people. Just not THIS people."
Cassie: "Another beach win for you. You've won at light, JMD, welter. What's next?"
Cristy (laughing): "That's all up to you and Wiz. You just tell me who and what. I'll be there ready to go!"
"It's almost amusing," says Skyler with a shake of the head. "THIS girl. I've got more of EVERYTHING than her. And, somehow, she's managed in the FCBA and I'm making my debut against her? Well. That's good for me. Bad for HER."
"Skyler certainly thinks a LOT of herself," says Cristy with a smile. "But, when I'm done with her, that opinion will change."
