BEFORE:
"Well," says Natasha with a smile, "I'm hearing about this girl being physical. But, going back almost two decades, there's never been a girl in the FCBA more physical than ME. So. Let's do this!"
"No question," says Antje with a nod, "She's as hard a hitter as there is. Well. Almost. Because there's one girl who hits harder. And, that's who Natasha's stepping in the ring with."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside, and that's 'Boom Boom Pow' by the Black Eyed Peas, and that's a fitting theme song for the big blonde making her way to ringside, two time former welterweight champion Natasha Henstridge!"
McCarthy: "Yet ANOTHER fighter who shows that age ain't nothin' but a number!"
O'Dell: "Henstridge down the aisle and into the ring. She's wearing a baby blue two piece tonight, and, that's 'Heads Will Roll' by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs hammering through the arena, and here comes 'The Scandinavian Stunner', Antje Utgaard!"
Tess: "And, we've been saying this a lot at Asylum for months, but this is a big fight for Utgaard, considering that decisions about the Tenth Anniversary roster are going to be made in coming months..."
Cassie: "And, that's doubly true for the welterweight division..."
McCarthy: "Also known as 'The Creampuffs'..."
O'Dell: "Antje into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. She's wearing that Stars and Stripes bikini we've seen before, and, as always, the crowd shows its appreciation. Ladies about ready. Time for some picks. Tess likes Antje. Mac?"
McCarthy: "Nothin' but a number. Henstridge."
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "Split panel again, and here we go. No pretense early. Henstridge getting right to work stepping to Utgaard behind that big left jab. Antje would rather box at range here, but Nat Henny having none of that. She wants to get physical right out of the gate, Mac..."
McCarthy: "This is the Henstridge we've seen for years, and if Weirdo's Dancing Hooker isn't ready for this, he needs better trainers."
O'Dell: "Utgaard being forced to give ground as Henstridge grabs canvas, backing her up with hard right hands. Antje not hurt, but she's definitely taking second place right now, as these exchanges are all coming out in favor of the older woman. GOOD right there from Henstridge..."
Cassie: "That would have put 80 percent of this division on the canvas. But, Antje took it."
O'Dell: "Did, indeed, but she's definitely been thrown onto the defensive in a major way. Henstridge fighting lead, getting off repeatedly in combination. Utgaard throwing counters here and there, not getting blasted out or anything, but it's Natasha in control right to the bell."
Tess: "Henstridge up 10-9 after taking that pretty wide."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Second begins with a FIREFIGHT in the middle of the ring! Utgaard heard it in the corner and she's not allowing Henstridge to back her up now. Antje holding ground, giving as good as she gets, and we're seeing absolute BOMBS being exchanged right now, ladies..."
Tess: "This can't go on for long. Waaaayyyyy too much heavy leather being thrown..."
O'Dell: "GOOD right from Henstridge backed Utgaard up and Antje lands a solid right of her own that backed Nat Henny up a step! Sweat flying, crowd on its feet as these two hard-hitting welters are having at it and DOWN GOES HENSTRIDGE, OH MY WHAT A SHOT!"
Cassie: "She is NOT getting up from THAT..."
O'Dell: "An absolute BOMB of a right hand from the younger woman and Henstridge blown to her back! Antje to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. This is academic. Referee can count all NIGHT. Seven. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! That quickly, it's OVER! And your winner by KO2 is 'The Scandinavian Stunner', Antje Utgaard!"
McCarthy: "By the typical Front Street method of victory, a lucky punch!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Antje Utgaard, and, Antje, she didn't waste any time coming after you..."
Antje (nodding): "Yeah. My fault for not thinking she'd do that right off the bat. Kind of put me on the back foot..."
Tess: "But, you made the adjustment..."
Antje (nodding): "Had to. If she was going to get physical like that, well. I could play that game. And, better than SHE could."
"Well," says Natasha with a smile, "I'm hearing about this girl being physical. But, going back almost two decades, there's never been a girl in the FCBA more physical than ME. So. Let's do this!"
