BEFORE:
"Not exactly a lot for me to lose tonight," says Holland with a smile. "So, when I win? It's going to be huge."
"No question," says Billie, "This girl's coming in here thinking upset. But. That's not how this is going down."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: " Back at ringside and that's 'Mountain Man' by Crash Kings, and here comes redhead beauty Holland Roden..."
McCarthy: "ONE FCBA win! ONE! The definition of a tomato can!"
O'Dell: "Holland into the ring and helped off with the robe, and the crowd giving up the pop for the redhead in that silver number we've seen before. And, that's 'You Should See Me In A Crown' you hear, and here comes 'Buxom' Billie Eilish..."
Cassie: "Billie making her return to the ring tonight after taking a bit of time off coming off her reign as Unified Flyweight Champion."
Tess: "And, she definitely wants to get right back on track tonight."
O'Dell: "Billie into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve, and she's looking very good in that emerald two-piece we've seen before. Ladies about ready. Time for some picks. Tess likes Billie. Mac?"
McCarthy: "ONE FCBA win! Eilish!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "And, we're underway. And, Roden going after Billie early. Seems like a lot of these ladies are using the same playbook tonight. Then again, this is what we've seen from Holland in earlier trips to Asylum...a lot of aggression..."
McCarthy: "Needs to be effective aggression, though, as we've seen..."
O'Dell: "Right now, Holland has Billie on the back foot. Wondering if there's just a bit of rust involved here, as Eilish has had some time off after a very busy stretch. Whatever the reason, she's on the defensive, spending a lot of time covering up."
Cassie: "Roden being smart, too. Aggressive, sure, but very sound."
O'Dell: "And, it's working like a charm at the moment. We're into the final seconds of the first round, and Holland's had by far the better of things. GOOD combination from the redhead, and there's the bell. Roden wide in the opener."
Tess: "And Holland takes the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Second round underway and now it's Billie backing Holland up! Eilish has had about enough of being on the defensive, and the former champ has gone over to the offense in a BIG way, landing hard shot that's got the redhead in reverse..."
Tess: "She's got the range right now..."
O'Dell: "And, she's making good use of it. RIGHT HAND, BILLIE and Holland is GOBSMACKED! Redhead wobbling and DOWN SHE GOES! Oh, what a straight right hand from the singer, and Roden crashes to her back in the middle of the ring."
Cassie (singing): "Turn out the liiiiggghhhhtttttssss. The party's ohhhhverrrrr..."
O'Dell: "Billie quickly to a neutral corner. Holland not moving at all. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. This is all going to be academic. Seven. Eight. Still no movement. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! That quickly, it's OVER and your winner by KO2 is 'Buxom' Billie Eilish!"
McCarthy: "Luck. Just a bunch of LUCK."
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Billie Eilish, and, Billie, a little rust tonight?"
Billie (shaking her head): "No. Just some really good stuff from her early. She tends to do that, so I was ready for it. Just a matter of figuring some things out and then getting her out of there."
Tess: "It's been a pretty good year for you with a title reign and all that. Anything left to accomplish in 2024?"
Billie (smiling): "Sure. ALWAYS something to gun for at Front Street. Looking forward to getting some more action this year and setting myself up for more runs at gold in 2025."
"Not exactly a lot for me to lose tonight," says Holland with a smile. "So, when I win? It's going to be huge."
"No question," says Billie, "This girl's coming in here thinking upset. But. That's not how this is going down."
