BEFORE:
"I have shown that I can win in the BBU AND the FCBA," says Marloes with a lovely smile. "And, tonight, I will defeat McMann and prove I deserve management."
"She's long, athletic, and talented," says Kennedy with a nod, "But, she's not getting a result tonight. Count on THAT."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "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 'Boom Clap' by Charli XCX you hear, but that's not Charlie striding across the beach, it's the pride of the Netherlands, Marloes Horst!"
McCarthy: "You know, this isn't pro wrestling. We shouldn't be billing fighters as from fictional places."
Cassie: "Um...Mac..."
McCarthy: "Come ON, Scabbo! Even YOU know 'Neverland' isn't REAL!"
Tess: "Mac, it's..."
Cassie: "Worth it, BFF?"
Tess: "Coin flip. We COULD see a head explode..."
McCarthy: "What ARE you two babbling about?"
O'Dell: "IF we could concentrate on the screen, we'll see that Marloes is stepping between the ropes and being helped off with the robe to reveal a blue and white number that has the crowd popping..."
Oh, the shark, babe
Has such teeth, dear...
McCarthy: "Calm down, Mac. Don't let this get to you. They only do it to make you explode on live TV, so they can make fun of you..."
O'Dell: "That song you hear behind us is 'Mack The Knife' by Bobby Darin..."
McCarthy: "She's going to say it, and I'm going to remain calm..."
O'Dell: "And, that can only mean that Kennedy 'Mac The Knife' McMann..."
McCarthy: "SHE IS NOT MAC THE KNIFE! I'M MAC THE KNIFE! SHE IS A FRAUD AND A GIMMICK THIEF AND I WILL SUE HER IN THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND! CALL JACKIE CHILES! CALL JOHNNIE COCHRAN! CALL E.G. DAILY..."
Cassie: "E.G. Daily? How can SHE help?"
Tess: "I think she means 'F. Lee Bailey', who, like Johnnie Cochrane, is dead. But, at least they aren't fictional, like Jackie Chiles..."
McCarthy: "I WILL SUE! I WILL SUE!"
O'Dell: "There are days when I wonder if I've been shrooming for the last fourteen years. This is one of them. McMann across the sand and into the ring. Helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve, and she's looking good in that lavender number she likes, if the crowd reaction is to be believed..."
McCarthy: "She's a toothpick who looks like a BOY and doesn't hold a CANDLE to the REAL Mac The Knife! She's a FRAUD. If she were a rapper her name would be Fraud Fraudy Fraud!"
O'Dell: "I wonder if someone slipped peyote into my drink. Anyway, we're about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Kennedy. Mac?"
McCarthy: "FRAUD! Horst, even if she DOES pretend to be from Neverland!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess..."
O'Dell: "And, we're underway. Horst has some reach here, and the Dutch beauty is using it early. She's set up at gunnery range, planting those feet in the sand and peppering the redhead with fire. McMann having trouble getting to spots right now..."
McCarthy: "Because she's a talentless FRAUD!"
O'Dell: "Marloes using that jab very effectively. She's finding with it, then following with right hands. Staying very busy, and that's helping keep McMann on the defensive. Kennedy patient, working the feet, landing in counter here and there..."
Tess: "McMann's a veteran. She won't be overly worried by this."
O'Dell: "Most likely not, but that's not stopping Marloes from building a solid lead here. Blonde really putting it all together in the first. Ten seconds remaining. GOOD right hand from Marloes and there's the bell. Horst. Wide."
Cassie: "And the blonde has the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Blonde right back to range to start the second. McMann playing the angles here, keeping the gloves high, looking to pick off that left hand, and she's having some success doing it. Horst still scoring some, but Kennedy holding her own now..."
Cassie: "Excellent head and foot movement from McMann..."
O'Dell: "Indeed, kicking up quite a bit of sand and it's made a difference. We're fighting on even terms right now, after the blonde controlled things in the first. SHARP exchange there and both fighters landed a good right hand. McMann digs a little body."
McCarthy: "That hometown ref had better watch for low blows!"
O'Dell: "Down the stretch in a VERY competitive second. Horst jabbing. McMann stepping to and hooking some body. Marloes ties her up, shoves off, circles away across the beach and there's the bell. Close this time. Kennedy."
Tess: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Third round starts with the ladies working at gunnery range. Horst wants to get that left on target, follow on with hard rights. McMann angling, working to get to spots and get off in combination and there's a nice one-two that backs up Marloes..."
Tess: "McMann more aggressive this round..."
O'Dell: "Definitely is. She's sitting down on those right hands and DOWN GOES HORSTS! A snappy straight left followed by a right cross behind the gloves and Marloes crashes on her back in the sand! What a right from McMann..."
Cassie (singing): "Turn out the liiiigggghhhtttsss. The party's ohhhhverrrrr..."
McCarthy: "Stop that singing you demented Smurf!"
O'Dell: " Kennedy to a neutral corner. Marloes flat on her back, eyes closed. Referee's count at three. Four. Five..."
McCarthy: "GET UP, YOU BUM!"
O'Dell: "Six. Seven. This is academic. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! Marloes is down and out and it's OVER and your winner by KO3 is Kennedy 'Mac The Knife' McMann!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go across the street to Cassie Scerbo!"
Cassie: "I have our winner, Kennedy McMann, and, K-Mac, you didn't waste any time tonight..."
Kennedy (shaking her head): "Can't do that. These are big girls and they can all hit. When you have a chance to get them out of there, you have to do it. I got a chance. And I didn't waste it."
Cassie: "You've been working light and welter and the beach. What's the plan for the rest of 2024?"
Kennedy: "The plan is to take whatever opportunities I can get and make the most of them. That's the plan."
"I have shown that I can win in the BBU AND the FCBA," says Marloes with a lovely smile. "And, tonight, I will defeat McMann and prove I deserve management."
