BEFORE:
"I've got to admit," says Ashley with a smile. "I've been spoiling for a rematch for two years. Things didn't go well on the sand last time. But, now we're in the ring, and this time, I'll get the job done."
"I said it before, and I'll say it again," Chloe says. "Ashley's legit. But, tonight she's in with the best fighter in the world under 120."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: " Back at ringside and that's 'Ain't It Fun' by Paramore and here comes the star of horror films like 'The Apparition' and 'Aftermath', brunette beauty Ashley Greene..."
McCarthy: "An actual, REAL fighter. I can't believe she made it on this card!"
O'Dell: "Greene wasting no time getting into the ring and being helped off with the robe. And, Ashley looking plenty good in that black number we've seen before. And, that's..."
Cassie: "Awful. Horrible. An assault on Mac's olfaction..."
McCarthy: "You LITTLE..."
O'Dell: "That is 'Uh Oh', and here comes the singer of that tune, 'The Next Big Thing', Chloe Bennet!"
Tess: "Bennet, of course, has been at the top of the Front Street bantamweight division for years, but, she's got plenty of competition now from Lili Reinhart and Sophie Mudd..."
O'Dell: "Bennet into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve, and the crowd popping as usual for the brunette beauty in that blue number she likes. Ladies about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Chloe. Mac?"
McCarthy: "Greene's a REAL fighter. She'll beat this tomato can!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "And, we're underway. Brunettes doing a little recon early. Ladies have fought before, but only once and that was two years ago. So, while they know one another, I wouldn't say they know one another well, meaning some feeling out may be in order..."
Tess: "Especially considering that both have excellent power for this division."
O'Dell: "Ladies probing, working the left hands. Ashley a bit more aggressive than Chloe right now, but not overly so. Instead, we're seeing good, two-way stuff with neither fighter doing much committing on anything in this frame..."
McCarthy: "Greene going to have to go after her at some point."
O'Dell: "She might, because Bennet is one heck of a boxer. But, Ashley's no slouch in that department herself. We're down under fifteen seconds in this round. Sharp exchange there, but neither fighter going to double down and there's the bell. Close. Greene."
Cassie: "And, Ashley grabs the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Second begins with some aggression from Chloe. Bennet putting punches together and getting Greene on the back foot here. All of a sudden, the older brunette is on the defensive, and the Front Streeter is determined to keep her there..."
Cassie: "This is where Chloe is most effective, when she gets it rolling like this..."
O'Dell: "No doubt about it. She's a great chain boxer, and she's showing that to all and sundry right now, every punch flowing from another punch or a feint or a slip. She's taking Greene to the woodshed at the moment..."
Tess: "Despite the fact that Ashley isn't hurt."
O'Dell: "Greene firing back here and there, landing the odd solid punch, but there's no doubt about who's getting the better of this one. Five seconds to go. GOOD combination by Chloe and there's the bell. Not close. Bennet."
McCarthy: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Third begins with ASHLEY getting aggressive! Greene coming forward now behind the left jab, and she's got the Front Streeter in retreat! Older brunette not just a lot busier this stanza, she's very effectively busy at the moment..."
Cassie: "Heard it in the corner between rounds. Get out of neutral, is what they told her."
O'Dell: "Well, she's in gear now, that's for sure. Chloe now the one firing back in spots, as Ashley gets a lot of effective work done. Bennet playing the Greene role at the moment, not hurt, but getting by far the worst of it at the moment..."
McCarthy: "Exactly what I said. She needed to get aggressive!"
O'Dell: "Coming down the stretch in the third, and Greene's had much the better of it. She backs Bennet up with another solid flurry and there's the bell. Not going to be any question about the scorecards after what's been Ashley's best round of the fight."
Tess: "And, Greene's back in front, 29-28."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "Fourth begins with Greene looking to come forward and Chloe NOT HAVING ANY! Bennet holding canvas and banging back and we've got a FIREFIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! Ladies letting the hands go in a BIG way!"
Tess: "Crowd getting into this!"
O'Dell: "Sure is, because these ladies are trading BOMBS in there, and nobody's giving an inch. TONS of heavy leather being traded as first Bennet's and then Greene's head is snapped back by hard, accurate punches..."
McCarthy: "Sooner or later..."
O'Dell: "No doubt about it, Mac, but the way this is going, it might be VERY soon. Nobody asking any quarter and nobody GIVING any! Ten seconds go to. GOOD right hand from Chloe backs up Ashley at the bell. Close. Bennet."
Cassie: "And, we're even at 38."
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "Nobody backing off to start the fifth. Ladies right back in one another's faces, simply meeting in the middle of the ring and going at it. Greene backing up Bennet with a nice flurry, but Chloe stepping right back to and landing a SOLID right hand..."
Cassie: "And, wow is the crowd loving this..."
O'Dell: "No question. GOOD right Ashley, backs up Bennet again. Greene stepping in behind and BENNET ROCKS HER WITH A RIGHT HOOK! Ashley stumbles, nearly goes down and DOWN SHE GOES AFTER A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND!"
Tess: "And, that might do it..."
O'Dell: "Chloe to a neutral corner. Ashley down on her back in the Maltese cross position. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. No movement from Greene. Six. Seven. Eight. All academic. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! The count passes Greene by and it's OVER and your winner by KO5 is 'The Next Big Thing'. Chloe Bennet!"
McCarthy: "Lucky. Just lucky!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Chloe Bennet, and, Chloe, that got physical in a hurry..."
Chloe (nodding): "Yeah. She can HIT. And, she can take a punch, too. Wanted to get after me, but I'm not a girl who'll back down from that."
Tess: "So, two more months left in 2024..."
Chloe (smiling): "I know where you're going Tess, and, yes, I want to get in there one more time before the new year comes around!"
"I've got to admit," says Ashley with a smile. "I've been spoiling for a rematch for two years. Things didn't go well on the sand last time. But, now we're in the ring, and this time, I'll get the job done."
