BEFORE:
"She's physical," Evan admits. "But, I'm BETTER, as I'm going to prove."
"I'M the one who's going to prove something," Mikayla says. "By knocking her into next week."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'If I Fell', but, obviously, you aren't hearing the Beatles version. Instead, that's the cover by the lady coming to the ring right now, Evan Rachel Wood..."
McCarthy: "NO FCBA WINS. TOMATO. CAN!"
O'Dell: "Wood wasting no time getting into the ring. She's helped off with the robe and that black and white striped bikini she's wearing is making it clear she's trained hard for this one. And, that's 'Behold The Hurricane' by the Horrible Crows hammering through the arena, and that can only mean that Mikayla 'Mass Destruction' Demaiter is on her way to the ring."
Tess: "Demaiter was upset here at Asylum earlier this year. She doesn't want a repeat tonight..."
O'Dell: "Mikayla into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve, and the crowd giving the pop for the blonde beauty in that cobalt blue two-piece she likes. Ladies about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Mikayla. Mac?"
McCarthy: "NO FCBA wins. Demaiter."
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "Unanimous in the second. Let's see if the ladies are right. Wood immediately setting up behind that left jab, wants to get her box on. She's got some reach on the younger blonde and wants to use it here. Mikayla patient, looking to work forward..."
McCarthy: "This kid had better not make a mistake. She's already lost once, and you know two losses gets you a ticket out of Front Street..."
O'Dell: "Demaiter moving the feet, slipping forward, working some body. Wood ties up, hangs on, forces a break. Redhead gets back to range and back to boxing now. Good, two-way round at the moment and it's all about terms."
Cassie: "Sure is. Wood showing she can get work done at range."
O'Dell: "Definitely can. Final seconds ticking off in the first. It's been close the whole way and that's not going to change. Nice combination by Evan, and there's the bell. A near thing, but the redhead is going to take the points in the opening stanza."
Tess: "And grab the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Demaiter turning up the heat to start the second. She's coming forward aggressively, walking through some of Wood's jabs, picking off others, crowding the redhead, working her body. Canadian blonde sitting down on punches here..."
McCarthy: "She'd better be careful in there..."
O'Dell: "It's pretty sound stuff, but, there's no doubt Demaiter's taking a few punches to be able to give a few punches, and it's working for her at the moment. She's backing up her rival, working body, piling up points, taking control."
Tess: "Definitely roughing Wood up a little."
O'Dell: "Sure is. Fifteen seconds left in what's been an excellent round for the blonde. Evan tying up, hanging on. Demaiter shoving her off, going back to work on the midsection, and there's the bell. No doubt. Demaiter takes it."
Cassie: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Wood doubling and tripling up on that jab as we start the third. She's determined to keep Mikayla off, as determined as Demaiter is to get inside and get work done. And, like the first, we're seeing both fighters getting some, but not enough of what they want..."
McCarthy: "Wood just needs to keep working here. She can beat this Dancing Hooker..."
Tess: "Didn't you just pick Mikayla and call Wood a tomato can?"
McCarthy: "Shut UP, Walmart!"
O'Dell: "Drink up, boys as we head into the final thirty seconds of what's been a competitive third round. Wood working that left, finding spots for right hands. Demaiter looking to step inside those defenses, work the body. She's having success when she can do so. Ten seconds left. Demaiter working body. Evan ties her up. Ref steps in to break them, and there's the bell. Close again, but Wood gets the nod."
Cassie: "And pulls into the lead 29-28."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "More of the same to start the fourth, with Wood working for distance and Demaiter trying to penetrate her defenses and work her body. Evan tying up when the blonde gets in there, working to hang on long enough to get the break from the referee..."
Cassie: "Demaiter showing some skills at shoving and punching free..."
O'Dell: "Sure is, and it's having an effect. She's getting more of the terms she wants at the moment and THERE'S A RIGHT HOOK FROM MIKAYLA and EVAN IS HURT! Wood wobbles and DOWN SHE GOES AFTER A LEFT HOOK TO THE CHIN!"
Tess: "Might not get up from that..."
O'Dell: "Demaiter to a neutral corner. Wood down on her left side. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Evan rolling to her belly at six. Seven. Pushing to hands and knees at eight. Nine...TEN! It's over! Wood still on all fours as the count passes her by and it's OVER and your winner by KO4 is Mikayla 'Mass Destruction' Demaiter!"
McCarthy: "Lucky punch!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Mikayla Demaiter, and, Mikayla, looked like you wanted to get after her early..."
Mikayla (nodding): "I've got a ton of power for this weight. She has the reach. I wasn't going to box with her. It was about getting to her and getting her out of there, and that's exactly what I did."
Tess: "So, what's next for you?"
Mikayla: "Just keep working, stacking rounds, getting better, taking advantage of opportunities. That's the plan!"
"She's physical," Evan admits. "But, I'm BETTER, as I'm going to prove."
"I'M the one who's going to prove something," Mikayla says. "By knocking her into next week."
