BEFORE:
"It comes down to this," says Sabrina with a smile. "She's good. I'm better."
"She's definitely dangerous in there," Kennedy admits. "But, I'm plenty dangerous, too."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and the four-sided giant screen lowered over the arena, which means Asylum Beach is about to get some use. That song you hear is 'Good Days' by SZA and the lady you see coming across the sand is the lovely Sabrina Lynn..."
McCarthy: "Who ALSO has FCBA wins and will easily win this evening..."
Tess: "Here we go..."
McCarthy (quietly): "I will remain calm. I will not allow Walmart to get my blood pressure up..."
O'Dell: "Sabrina climbs between the ropes and is helped off with the robe to reveal a burgundy number that has the crowd's attention..."
Oh, the shark, babe
Has such teeth, dear
McCarthy (quietly): "I will remain calm. Deep breaths, just like the doctor said. Keep the blood pressure under control..."
Cassie: "I can't wait to see how this goes..."
McCarthy: "Ignoring the little gremlin. Breathing deeply. Calm. Ohm. Ohm..."
O'Dell: "That song you are hearing is, of course, 'Mack The Knife' by Bobby Darin, and across the beach comes the lovely Kennedy 'Mac The Knife' McMann..."
McCarthy(quietly): "It's all good. Breathing deeply. The world knows I'm Mac the Knife and that this girl is just a talentless fraud. I'm the one who should have a bust in the Hall of Fame...Ohm. Ohm."
O'Dell: "McMann between the ropes and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. She's looking good in that lavender number we've seen before. Ladies about ready. Time for some picks. Tess likes Kennedy. Mac?"
McCarthy (quietly): "McMann is a fraud...ohm. Ohm. Lynn will pound her into the sand. Ohm. Ohm."
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "There's the bell and the ladies setting up at range here and extending on their punches. No surprise, as both are long and can be plenty effective on these terms. Sabrina a NICE combination backs McMann up a step..."
McCarthy: "KNOCK OUT THE FRAUD!"
O'Dell: "Sabrina stepping forward, backing Kennedy up across the sand again. Lynn getting a little something going here early. Sitting down on some stuff and landing some heavy leather. McMann not hurt, but she's getting backed up."
Cassie: "And, she's not likely to win off the back foot."
O'Dell: "Is not. We're down under fifteen seconds to go in the first, and it's been a great round for Sabrina. She's slowly gained control here and has piled up quite a few points. Final seconds tick away and there's the bell. Lynn. Wide."
Tess: "And Sabrina grabs the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Second underway and Lynn again trying to work forward, but now Kennedy holding ground and firing back and HERE WE GO! HAMMER AND TONGS in the middle of the beach! Nobody willing to give an inch here..."
McCarthy: "KNOCK OUT THE FRAUD!"
O'Dell: "Lynn doing her best to get that done, as is McMann, and, while both are landing a TON of heavy shot, nobody's hurt and nobody's backing up. It's crowd-pleasing stuff for sure as the two redheads let the hands go..."
Tess: "Something going to have to give if this keeps up..."
O'Dell: "You'd think so, but not so far. We're down under 20 seconds to go in the first. GOOD right from McMann and Sabrina responds in kind. Sweat flying along with the sand as these two slug away right to the bell. Close. Kennedy."
Cassie: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Ladies thinking better of continuing with the firefight as we start the third. Instead, they're boxing at range. Both moving the feet, kicking up sand, working to get to spots at get off in combination. This is stuff for the purists instead of the crowd, Mac..."
McCarthy: "KNOCK OUT THE FRAUD!"
Cassie: "You DO know we're paying you to provide color commentary, right, Mac?"
McCarthy: "And, the color I want to see is BLOOD RED when Lynn KNOCKS OUT THE FRAUD!"
O'Dell (sighing): "Soon, that bottle from Pointy's cellar will be mine and I will sit and drink until I forget ALL about this. We're down to fifteen seconds remaining in what's been a good, two-way round, with both redheads scoring well and showing some nice, slick defense. GOOD right by Lynn backs up McMann and there's the bell. Close to Sabrina."
Tess: "And, Lynn's back in the lead 29-28."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "Lynn pressing forward again as we start the fourth. McMann there to meet her and SABRINA ROCKS KENNEDY WITH A RIGHT HAND! McMann STEPPIN' IN FENCE POST HOLES after a VICIOUS straight right from Lynn!"
McCarthy: "KNOCK OUT THE FRAUD!"
O'Dell: "Lynn completely over to the offensive now, backing Kennedy across the sand and into the ropes. McMann in a high guard. Lynn notices body on sale and she's buying in bulk but not neglecting the upstairs either..."
Tess: "Ref watching closely..."
O'Dell: "Definitely is. Kennedy doing enough to keep him at bay, jabbing back in spots. Tying up when she can. Seems to be shaking the worst of it as we head into the final seconds. GOOD right from Sabrina and Kennedy responds with a nice combination at the bell, but it's Lynn and wide in the fourth."
Cassie: "And, Sabrina's up a pair, 39-37."
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "Lynn pushing the issue as we start the fifth and she EATS A RIGHT HAND FROM KENNEDY! McMann with a PERFECT counter and Sabrina is ALL WOBBLY BUTT! And, now it's the Front Streeter who's going over to the offensive..."
McCarthy: "HANG ON, KID AND THEN KNOCK OUT THE FRAUD!"
O'Dell: "Sabrina backing across the sand, keeping the hands high, jabbing back in spots. Pinned to the cables now, as Kennedy goes body, then back upstairs. McMann looking to finish this thing, but Sabrina doing enough to keep the ref at bay..."
Cassie: "Smart, veteran stuff. Rolling with, firing back here and there."
O'Dell: "Indeed it is. We're down under ten seconds now, and Lynn's been able to ride it out. GOOD right from Kennedy shakes Sabrina, but there's the bell. It's going to be McMann wide in the fifth, but Lynn is still standing."
Tess: "And still leading 48-47."
ROUND SIX:
O'Dell: "McMann looking to finish this thing early. She's walking down a still-wobbly Lynn behind that left, backing her up with solid right hands. Sabrina trading space for time, backing up across the sand, working to stay off the ropes..."
McCarthy: "KNOCK OUT THE FRAUD!"
O'Dell: "Kennedy working smartly and effectively, piling up points, landing some solid shot and STAGGERING SABRINA WITH A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND! LYNN RUMBLIN' STUMBLIN' FUMBLIN' across the beach before BEING DROPPED WITH A STRAIGHT RIGHT!"
McCarthy: "GET UP, YOU BUM! GET UP!"
Tess: "Not sure she IS getting up from that..."
O'Dell: "McMann to a neutral corner. Lynn down on her back parallel to the ropes. Count at three. Four. Five. Sabrina sitting up at six. Grabbing the bottom rope. Seven. Eight. Trying to pull herself up. Nine...TEN! It's over! Lynn still trying to climb the ropes as the count passes her by and it's OVER and your winner by KO6 is Kennedy 'Mac The Knife' McMann!"
McCarthy: "FRAUD! I WILL SUE! I WILL SUE! FRAUD!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go across the street to Cassie Scerbo!"
Cassie: "I have our winner, Kennedy McMann, and, Kennedy, tough one tonight..."
Kennedy (nodding): "This girl can fight. There was never any doubt it was going to be a battle. But, I also never had any doubt I'd come out on top."
Cassie: "So, what's next for you? Welter? Light? Beach?"
Kennedy (smiling): "Well, I keep hearing about how we're waiting for one of our bigs to step up. Well. Here I am, Cassie. Here I am!"
"It comes down to this," says Sabrina with a smile. "She's good. I'm better."
"She's definitely dangerous in there," Kennedy admits. "But, I'm plenty dangerous, too."
