BEFORE:
"As I've shown," says Scarlett with a smile, "Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. But, for those who haven't already figured that out, well. Watch. And learn."
"Oh, she can still fight," says Chloe with a nod. "Just not as well as I can. That's all."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Falling Down' by the lady coming to the ring right now, former FCBA champion Scarlett Johansson!"
Cassie: "ScarJo belongs to an exclusive group when it comes to FCBA championhips, as she's won three DIFFERENT championships, flyweight, bantamweight, and JMD."
O'Dell: "Scarlett into the ring and helped off with the robe, and she's looking very, very good in that azure number she's wearing..."
McCarthy: "She MIGHT get into 'Playboy'. No CENTERFOLD, mind. No way is she THAT hot. But, she might sneak into the magazine...in an off month..."
O'Dell: "Aaaannnndddd, that's...."
McCarthy: "Just a HORRENDOUS assault on my senses!"
O'Dell: "'Uh Oh', and the singer of that little tune, 'The Next Big Thing', Chloe Bennet, is on her way to the ring."
Tess: "Bennet, of course, is ALSO a former FCBA champion, and there's no question she has her eye on getting those titles back."
O'Dell: "Chloe climbs into the ring and is helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. She's wearing that familiar blue bikini and the crowd clearly hasn't grown tired of it."
McCarthy: "As I always say, 'Philly. Low standards.'"
O'Dell: "And, the ladies are about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Chloe. Mac?"
McCarthy: "Scarlett's a REAL fighter. Johansson."
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "Here we go. Bennet looking to go to the jab early here. Chloe usually very aggressive, but, she's got some reach here and she wants to see if she can make that work for her. ScarJo, though, angling, using a quarter crouch, slipping to middle distances to work and get some leather on."
McCarthy: "This is what I'm talking about. A REAL fighter."
O'Dell: "Bennet circling a little, giving a little ground, appears to really want some range, but ScarJo not going to allow it to happen. Instead, she's slipping forward, then getting off. Chloe again gives some ground, gets the jab on, lands a combination. Scarlett dipping forward again, closes, hooks some body."
Tess: "If I'm Scarlett, I avoid spending too much time in close with Bennet. Chloe can hit."
O'Dell: "Don't think in-fighting's the Johansson plan. More likely it's the mid-distance stuff, because that's where ScarJo's been spending most of her time. Bennet lands a nice combination and Johansson fires right back with a good one of her own! Another big exchange and there's the bell! Good, competitive first to ScarJo."
Cassie: "And she's got the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Bennet getting more aggressive as we start the second. No more worrying about distance, she's stepping to and banging with ScarJo. Johansson, standing right in there and banging back and we've got a FIREFIGHT in the second! BIG shots being traded and nobody backing up a step!"
Cassie: "Well, you've got two champions in there, Jenny, and neither of them are going to back down."
O'Dell: "LEFT HOOK, CHLOE and SCARJO IS HURT! Johansson staggered by that short left hook! She wobbles backward and nearly goes down and Bennet is ALL IN. Chloe letting the blonde have it with both hands. Scarlett backed to the ropes and taking and she's in DEEP trouble..."
Tess: "Bennet landing a whole lot on the screws right now, Jenny!"
O'Dell: "Referee looking in, not going to watch much more of this, Scarlett hanging on, jabbing back here and there, trying to tie up now. Chloe shoves her off, stacks her, works a little body. ScarJo ties up again. Ten seconds left. GOOD right hand Bennet, but there's the bell. Blonde survives, but the brunette wins it wide."
McCarthy: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Bennet back to the offensive in the third. She's stepping to Scarlett, backing her up with heavy shot. Johansson engaging in a fighting retreat, seems to have some of the leg back under her, but still not enough to hold her canvas. Bennet lining Scarlett up with that jab, then dropping on right hands..."
McCarthy: "This is the definition of a clean up."
O'Dell: "Most definitely is. Bennet a good combination and SCARJO LANDS A RIGHT HAND! CHLOE'S HURT! Johansson now letting the hands go and DOWN GOES BENNET! Brunette dropped to her knees by a NASTY flurry of punches from the blonde and this thing's turned on a DIME!"
Tess: "Three or four clean shots landed in there. It wasn't just one."
O'Dell: "ScarJo to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. Six. Bennet to her feet at seven. Takes the mandatory. And ON COMES SCARLETT! Johansson hammering away, driving the brunette back into the ropes. It's a complete 180 from last round as now it's Bennet taking on the cables and ScarJo trying to finish. Only ten seconds left, though. And Chloe's going to ride it out. There's the bell. Scarlett, 10-8."
Cassie: "And, Johansson's up 29-27 after three."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "ScarJo to work now, trying for a clean up of her own. Bennet now the one giving ground at the beginning of a round, but, like Johansson, it's a fighting retreat. Chloe firming up the front as we go, but Scarlett still managing the forward movement, forcing the younger woman back."
Cassie: "Scarlett plenty careful. Doesn't want Bennet turning the tables like ScarJo did last round."
O'Dell: "Definitely does not. Chloe holding ground now, firing back, stopping Scarlett's advance. Johansson willing to slip back to middle distances, get back to where she was in the opening frame. Bennet holding, not stepping forward, willing to box with now, and holding her own doing so."
McCarthy: "Scarlett's terms, though. This is where she wants to be, at HER range, not Bennet's."
O'Dell: "Final thirty seconds of the round. Bennet landing a nice combination and Scarlett responds with a flurry of her own. Another excellent exchange there, with both fighters landing some hard shot. Scarlett steps in, hooks body, ladies fall into a clinch and there's the bell. Close. But ScarJo."
Tess: "And, the blonde's now built herself a nice lead, 39-36."
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "Fifth begins back at middle distances. ScarJo with that head tucked, in the quarter crouch, making herself a difficult target for Chloe. Johansson working some body again this round and Bennet responding in kind. Ladies tying up. Bennet shoves off, lands a shot to the midsection and Scarlett responds with a combination."
Tess: "Despite the scorecard, this has been a really good, close fight so far."
O'Dell: "It has. The knockdown's got the the cards looking like it's been one-sided, but it has not. In fact, neither fighter has been able to maintain much of an advantage over the other. We're half way through the fifth, and there's not much in this round, either. Good, two-way boxing going on."
McCarthy: "Might come down to stamina and how much punishment they can take to the body, because both bodies are getting worked now."
O'Dell: "Indeed they are. Still plenty of upstairs stuff, mind, but a lot of lathering of the flanks and thumping of the midsections going on right now. Fifteen seconds left in the round. Bennet backs ScarJo up with a hard flurry, but Johansson responds with a nice combination of her own and there's the bell. Draw."
Cassie: "And, ScarJo's still up three, 49-46 at the half."
ROUND SIX:
O'Dell: "More two-way boxing to start the second half. ScarJo getting to middle distances where she wants to be. Chloe willing to fight her on these terms, and, again, the brunette holding her own with the blonde. Both ladies doing more body work now. Scarlett, in that quarter crouch and giving up the height, well positioned for it."
Cassie: "Right, but, Bennet's not going to let that go unanswered."
O'Dell: "No, she is not. She's working over Johansson's ribs and midsection, while not ignoring the upstairs, much like the blonde is doing at the moment. Plenty of action, interrupted only by the occasional clinch. Ladies working hard and smart. Both showing excellent defense as well."
Tess: "No question about it. A lot of punches are being blocked and slipped."
O'Dell: "But, plenty are getting through. Heading down the stretch in yet another close round, this is four of the six now. Bennet a good combination that backed Scarlett up. Chloe follows with another flurry that forces the blonde to cover up. Scarlett though, responds with a nice combination at the bell. Tight again, but Bennet."
McCarthy: "58-56, ScarJo."
ROUND SEVEN:
O'Dell: "Ladies right back to work in the seventh. They're at mid-range, boxing, working the jabs, looking to set up hard right hands. Heads and gloves moving along with the hands. Good defense being shown again and THERE'S A RIGHT HAND FROM BENNET and SCARJO IS HURT!"
Cassie: "Cue the Bennet comeback!"
O'Dell: "Blonde GOBSMACKED as Chloe gets off lusty with both hands, driving the shorter woman back into the ropes and letting her have it. Tons of heavy leather being landed now, as Johansson looks about ready to go. Scarlett's got the body on sale and Chloe now buying in bulk..."
McCarthy: "DUMB! Load up upstairs right now and finish this!"
O'Dell: "Thirty seconds to go. Bennet upstairs then back down. ScarJo hanging on. Referee watching closely. Fifteen seconds to go. Chloe can't find the switch, but she's piling up the points and the punishment. Five seconds. Good right hand from Chloe at the bell. Shutout, Bennet."
Tess: "But, ScarJo still standing and still leading 67-66."
ROUND EIGHT:
O'Dell: "Bennet forward aggressively now. She's not thinking 'consolidate' or 'clean up', but 'finish', as she's committing on everything, keeping the blonde on her back foot. Scarlett trying to slow the brunette down, but not having much success doing it. Instead, the Bennet offensive keeps rolling."
McCarthy: "Got to be careful of a counter here, because we've already seen THAT in this one."
O'Dell: "No doubt about it, but, for the moment, at least, that counter isn't in the offing. Instead it's Chloe putting punches together, forcing the blonde to give ground, cover up. Brunette not ignoring the body, either. Working some down there to keep her rival honest, hooking the ribs and then DROPPING SCARLETT WITH A RIGHT UPPERCUT!"
Tess: "Caught ScarJo pretty clean with that one!"
O'Dell: "Johansson flat on her back as Bennet heads to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. ScarJo rolling to her belly at six. She's pushing up to hands and knees at seven. Crawling toward the ropes at eight. Trying to pull herself up. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! ScarJo still on her knees as the count passes her by and it's OVER and your winner by KO8 in comeback fashion is 'The Next Big Thing', Chloe Bennet!"
Cassie: "Heck of a fight."
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have BOTH our winner, Chloe Bennet, and Scarlett Johansson, and, Chloe, you brought Scarlett over here..."
Chloe: "Let me tell you something, Tess, this girl is as good as anyone I've ever fought. She can come in at 110 and she HITS like she weighs 130. She's a super boxer and she can take a punch like nobody's business. I can't believe she's an indie right now, and I'm going to talk to Wiz about it."
Scarlett (smiling): "Well, I appreciate that, Chloe, and, Tess, I can tell you that THIS girl is as good as anybody I'VE ever fought. I know why they call her 'The Next Big Thing' now. And, that right hand of hers is a KILLER!"
Tess: "OK...so, since you're both here, Scarlett, what's next for you?"
Scarlett (smiling): "Well, I'm not exactly going to turn down opportunities to work, you know? And, if Wiz calls, I'm going to answer."
Tess: "And, Chloe, how about you?"
Chloe: "Well, obviously, the goal is to get those belts back. Right AFTER I see if I can't get this girl to Philadelphia permanently."
"As I've shown," says Scarlett with a smile, "Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. But, for those who haven't already figured that out, well. Watch. And learn."
"Oh, she can still fight," says Chloe with a nod. "Just not as well as I can. That's all."

O'Dell: "Aaaannnndddd, that's...."
McCarthy: "Just a HORRENDOUS assault on my senses!"
O'Dell: "'Uh Oh', and the singer of that little tune, 'The Next Big Thing', Chloe Bennet, is on her way to the ring."
