BEFORE:
"This girl," says Gaga with a smile. "There's a blueprint now. And, tonight, I'm going to follow it."
"Oh, there's going to be a blueprint, all right," says a hard-eyed Ariel. "A BLACK and blue print all over Gaga's face."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside, and that's 'Edge of Glory' you hear behind us and..."
McCarthy: "RIDICULOUS! That loser DECKER isn't here anymore so I don't have to put up with a laser show, but, now they bring in this poseur who gets CARRIED TO THE RING..."
O'Dell: "Gaga DOES like to make an entrance and she's being carried down by six well-built young men, much to Mac's DISMAY..."
Cassie: "This is the part where Mac picks up her phone to look up 'dismay'..."
McCarthy: "You LITTLE...I KNOW what 'dismay' means!"
O'Dell (sighing): "Gaga into the ring and helped off with the robe to reveal that leopard print number we've seen before, and that's 'I Knew You Were Trouble' banging through the arena, and here comes the singer of this cover version of the song, Ariel 'Dangerous Curves' Winter!"
McCarthy: "I KNEW it was just a matter of time before SHE flunked out, like ALL of Weirdo's loser flyweights besides K-Stew..."
Tess: "I wouldn't say Ariel exactly 'flunked out'..."
McCarthy: "She's lost two in a row, and, when Gaga cleans her clock tonight, she'll be out in the STREET where she belongs!"
O'Dell: "Winter into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. She's wearing that curve-hugging white bikini she likes. And, we're about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Ariel. Mac, I take it you're picking Gaga?"
McCarthy: "ABsolutely!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "And, we're underway. Winter looking to step to, get physical. Gaga wants some distance here, jabbing, moving the feet. Enforcing the range with the left hand. This is some of what we saw from Williams and Kunis. Idea is simply not to let Ariel get inside, where she likes to work."
McCarthy: "Like Gaga said, there's a blueprint. It was written by HISC. And, now everyone can follow it."
O'Dell: "Gaga willing to give a little ground here and there, but it's all about that left hand. She's sticking it in Winter's face, slowing her down, and that gives the blonde a chance to follow on with rights and then reset before Winter can get back going. And, it's working to perfection for the moment."
Cassie: "Gaga's caused a lot of problems for Front Street over the years, in case anyone's forgotten."
O'Dell: "I'm sure no one at FRONT STREET has. And, the blonde's causing problems again. She's got everything going now, and she's completely controlling the fight. We're down to 10 seconds to go in the first. Another nice flurry from Gaga and there's the bell. Lady G and wide in the opening stanza."
Tess: "And Gaga leads 10-9."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Adjustment by Winter as we start the second. Brunette keeping the hands high, tucking the head, angling forward. Gaga still working the jab, but a lot of them landing on Ariel's gloves now, and that means Winter's not getting stopped and held. Instead, she's closing and banging."
Tess: "And, Gaga banging right back."
O'Dell: "Is, indeed. Blonde's never been afraid to let the hands go, but these terms are working much better for Winter. Ariel able to get some offense going now, and, instead of a one-way round, we've got a two-way round. Both ladies landing hard shot on the inside..."
McCarthy: "Difference is, Gaga's going mostly head and Winter's going mostly body."
O'Dell: "Final twenty seconds of a competitive second round. Winter working the ribs and midsection. Gaga clinching now, forcing a break, getting some distance. Winter right back at her. Five seconds left. Good right from Gaga and there's the bell. Close one to Ariel."
Cassie: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Same again in the third. Winter working forward with the hands high and the head tucked. Gaga trying to slow her with that sharp left, but mostly unable to do it. Ariel on the inside digging body and Gaga responding by landing heavy shot of her own in there, mostly to the head."
Cassie: "Gaga doing an excellent job in the phone booth. She's shown before that she can hit, and you're seeing it again now."
O'Dell: "Lots of short, hard shot being exchanged in there, no question about it. Gaga now digging to the body, hooking some ribs. Winter counters upstairs, backs Gaga up with a right hook, then steps back to. Lady G a nice combination that backs the brunette up."
Tess: "Not a lot of finesse right now, Jenny."
O'Dell: "Not much, and both fighters appear to be more than OK with that. Gaga digging some more body now, and Winter responds with some thumping leather into the blonde's midsection. Ladies tie up with five seconds to go in the round. Ref will break them, and there's the bell. Close again. Gaga."
McCarthy: "And Gaga leads Weirdo's latest flyweight flop 29-28."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "Winter again closing to start the fourth. We're playing on Ariel's terms at the moment, but the blonde giving as good as she's getting. Gaga lands a NICE right hook that backs up Winter! Lady G stepping to, thumping away and GETTING ROCKED! Ariel staggers the blonde with a right hook of her own!"
Tess: "NASTY shot!"
O'Dell: "DIdn't land that clean, but she landed it well enough to wobble the blonde's knees, and now Winter is ALL IN looking to finish this thing. Gaga being backed up with flurry after flurry of heavy leather. Winter working her back to the ropes, then going body in a BIG way..."
McCarthy: "She ought to be head hunting exclusively right now! Bad training!"
O'Dell: "Winter committing on every punch, putting everything she has into these shots into Gaga's body. Lady G trying to clinch now, crouching in that high guard, trying to protect the ribs and midsection as Ariel goes to town. Clock running down. Under ten to go. GOOD right from Ariel, and there's the bell! Winter. Wide."
Cassie: "And, we've even at 38."
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "Seek and destroy time for Winter. And, she's not having to do a lot of seeking, because Gaga's legs aren't all the way back. Blonde giving ground, firing back in spots, but mostly taking a licking, as Winter gets off lusty both upstairs and down. Blonde a solid right hand counter there, but it doesn't slow Ariel..."
Cassie: "Gaga trying to play for time here, and that's the smart play..."
O'Dell: "Certainly seems to be. Lady G giving canvas willingly, staying off the ropes, using a fighting retreat. Winter keeps up the steady pressure and DROPS GAGA! Blonde down in the middle of the ring after an absolutely VICIOUS right hook from the brunette!"
Tess: "If it weren't gimmick infringement, I'd sing, because, she is NOT getting up from THAT."
O'Dell: "Unlike in the fourth, that hook landed cleanly. Winter to a neutral corner. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Gaga down on her right side, not moving at all. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! That quickly, it's OVER, and your winner by KO5 is Ariel 'Dangerous Curves' Winter!"
McCarthy: "Lucky. Punch."
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Ariel Winter, and, Ariel, things changed after that first round..."
Ariel (nodding): "Knew what she'd do. She'd play Michelle and Mila. Only, she's NOT Michelle or Mila and Michelle and Mila aren't Michelle and Mila, because I'm aware of the game. And, I know how to play it."
Tess: "Obviously, there could be some changes coming in the flyweight division at Front Street. Does that concern you?"
Ariel (shrugging): "Not at all. I've shown what I can do. If that isn't enough for me to stay here, well. There are other stables who could use 21-year-old hard-hitting flyweight who's already shown she can beat the best in this division."
"This girl," says Gaga with a smile. "There's a blueprint now. And, tonight, I'm going to follow it."
"Oh, there's going to be a blueprint, all right," says a hard-eyed Ariel. "A BLACK and blue print all over Gaga's face."
