BEFORE:
"So, her stable finally gave in and decided to keep this girl around," says Rachel with a shake of the head. "It's a shame, because she's a one-trick pony. And, I'm going to demonstrate that."
"Look, we all know the Rachel Revolution crashed and burned years ago," says Ariel. "She may want us to think differently, but, I'll put out any remaining smoldering in the ruins tonight."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'The Sky Is A Landfill' by the late, great Jeff Buckley, and here comes one of the FCBA's biggest Buckley fans, Rachel Bilson!"
McCarthy: "Have to admit, I'm surprised Weirdo brought this girl in here. She's far from top shelf, but she's actually WON fights against decent fighters..."
O'Dell: "Rachel into the ring and helped off with the robe. She's wearing a black number and looking plenty good in it..."
Cassie: "Certainly doesn't look 38..."
McCarthy: "As I tell you every month, Scabbo, nothin' but a number!"
O'Dell: "And, that's 'I Knew You Were Trouble' you hear behind us, and here comes the singer of this cover version of that song, Ariel 'Dangerous Curves' Winter..."
Tess: "Ariel one of the girls who's clinched her roster spot for next year's Tenth Anniversary..."
McCarthy: 'Watch how fast that changes when Bilson beats her tonight! Weirdo's strictly 'flavor of the month', and everyone knows it!"
O'Dell: "Winter into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. She's wearing that white two-piece we've seen before, showing off the slimmed-down body that still has plenty of curves and the crowd definitely likes it..."
McCarthy: "Again, low standards!"
O'Dell: "Ladies about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Ariel. Mac?"
McCarthy: "Bilson's a REAL fighter. Rachel!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "First split panel of the night. Let's see who's right. Winter immediately forward looking to close and bang. Bilson giving ground, moving, trying to get some space here, but not having any success early. Instead, Ariel's bringing the physical, crowding Rachel and banging away at body..."
McCarthy: "And, here's the one trick Bilson's talking about. Williams and Kunis exposed Winter for what she is..."
O'Dell: "Ariel working the ribs and midsection, backing Rachel up. Bilson trying to clinch, but Ariel shoving free, getting right back to work on the body. Obviously, Winter trained by Britney, who handles the flyweights here, but there's a lot of Neve Campbell influence in the way this girl fights..."
Tess: "Certainly seems to be."
O'Dell: "Coming down the stretch and it's been almost all Winter in the first. She's getting inside and working the older woman over with solid shot, mostly to the body, but to the head as well. Final five seconds running off the clock, and there's the bell. Ariel. Wide."
Cassie: "And up 10-9."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Winter again looking to pressure, but Rachel's made an adjustment now. She's drop stepping and jabbing to create some time and space for herself, and it's making a difference. Older brunette able to keep the younger woman at bay and follow the jab with some nice right hands..."
McCarthy: "And, the pony's trick stops working. JUST as I predicted!"
O'Dell: "Bilson showing she can still box very, very well when she gets the geometry she wants, and she's got it now. She's putting punches together, scoring to the head, even working a little body while Ariel works hard to get to spots and mostly isn't able to do so."
Cassie: "This is good stuff from Bilson."
O'Dell: "No doubt about that. Rachel's controlled this round from the beginning, and, as we enter the final ten seconds, she's continuing to do so. Good combination by the older woman and there's the bell. No doubt about the second. It's Rachel wide in this stanza."
Tess: "And we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Bilson jabbing, moving, creating space. Winter angling forward, looking to pick those jabs off and get inside the older woman's defenses. Does so, works a little body. But, Rachel ties up and then slips away, moving very well, continuing a high work rate with that jab."
McCarthy: "Like I said, this is how you beat this girl..."
O'Dell: "Winter forward, again banging to the ribs and midsection. Bilson keeps it short, ties up, slips away, does a little dance and circle now. Ariel again angling, cuts the ring, steps in, WOBBLES RACHEL WITH A LEFT HOOK! Bilson stumbles, nearly goes down, and WINTER FLATTENS HER WITH A NASTY FLURRY!"
Tess: "An absolutel BRUTAL right uppie in there..."
O'Dell: "Ariel to a neutral corner. Rachel down on her right side. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Bilson rolls to her belly at six. Pushes up to hands and knees at seven. Getting up and STUMBLES BACK TO THE MAT! Rachel flat on her belly again at nine. TEN! It's OVER! And your winner by KO3 is Ariel 'Dangerous Curves' Winter!"
Cassie: "And THAT'S why Uncle Wiz has her on the Tenth Anniversary roster!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Ariel Winter, and, Ariel, you didn't waste a lot of time tonight..."
Ariel: "No question, this girl can box. She's a veteran and she knows how to beat people. We weren't going cards tonight."
Tess: "Last time we talked, you still hadn't secured a roster spot. Now that that has changed, what's next for you?"
Ariel: "I want another shot at the gold, and, whatever gets me there, that's what I'll do."
