BEFORE:
"Yeah, it's been rough," says Kristin with a shake of the head. "Having to leave the Consortium, being on my own. But. I'm still a top flyweight, and when I beat Stewart, well. Things may change."
"She's right about one thing," says Kristen with a smile. "She's still a top flyweight. But. She's not beating me tonight or any night."
ROUND ONE:
Man In The Hat: "We are across the street from the Asylum arena, where Asylum beach has been set up for the first time in a long time. I'm The Grand Wizard of Boxin', and, with me I have a pair of former FCBA Champions, 'The Aussie Enforcer', Anna Torv, and 'The Champ', Hall of Famer Britney Spears. And, that music you hear blaring through the streets of Philly is 'Scotty Doesn't Know' by Lustra..."
Britney: "And, that song was written for the film 'EuroTrip', which stars the lovely lady making her way out of the tent and onto the beach right now, Kristin Kreuk..."
Anna: "What do you suppose the temperature is on this beach at the moment. In February. In Philadelphia?"
Man In The Hat: "Well, we've got the patio heaters all around, so, I'm guessin' warmer than it is in most outdoor spots...but, still not that warm."
Britney: "Kristin climbing through the ropes, helped off with the robe to reveal a sky blue bikini and she's bouncing up and down in the corner, going to get the body heat going..."
Man In The Hat: "And, that's 'Helter Skelter' by the Beatles you hear behind us, and that can only mean that the former United Flyweight Champion of the World, 'The Five-Tool Player', Kristen Stewart is coming to the ring..."
Anna: "K-Stew got a big win over Lucy Hale last month in her first action since her long flyweight title reign. Could take another step toward getting those belts back with a win tonight."
Man In The Hat: "Kris into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. She's wearin' that lime green two-piece she likes. And, since we aren't neutral we ain't makin' picks. But, the ladies on our normal broadcast crew HAVE. And, all three are pickin' K-Stew in this one. Ladies getting to it inside the ropes. K-Stew workin' that left jab. She's got some reach and she's usin' it very well right now, keepin' Kreuk at bay. Both ladies moving the feet, sendin' sand as well as leather flyin' here on Asylum beach."
Anna: "That left of Kristen's is a major weapon for her, and, right now, Kristin doesn't have an answer."
Man In The Hat: "But, Kreuk's a veteran and former champion. She's gonna figure this out. Until she does, however, K-Stew in control and beginnin' ta get into a nice rhythm. Poppin' the left, followin' on with nice right hands. Kreuk forced to cover up as K-Stew gets her combos goin'."
Britney: "I like what I'm seeing here, Wiz."
Man In The Hat: "As do I, Champ. As do I. This is the K-Stew who ran off four straight wins against Hall of Famers. She's athletic. She's precise. And she's sharp as a tack. We got about ten seconds left in this first stanza, and K-Stew's been in control from the openin' seconds. There's the bell. Stewart. Wide."
ROUND TWO:
Man In The Hat: "Second begins with Kreuk in a quarter crouch. She's got the hands high and she's creatin' a very difficult target for K-Stew's jab. Kristin angling forward, getting past Stewart's glove and getting off in combination. Canadian now forcin' the American to cover up..."
Britney: "Kristin's figured this out."
Man In The Hat: "This fight was always gonna be about adjustments. You've got two smart, veteran fighters in there. And, right now, it's K-Stew who's gonna have adjust to Kristin, because Kreuk's got somethin' goin'. She's getting to spots and getting off quickly and accurately."
Anna: "Just got the geometry down now, Wiz."
Man In The Hat: "Definitely does. We're comin' down the stretch in the second on Asylum Beach, and, while it's cold out here, Kristin Kreuk has heated up very nicely, thank you. Slips to middle distances again and lands a NICE combination that got K-Stew's attention at the bell! Kreuk. Wide."
Britney: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
Man In The Hat: "Third round begins the same way the second ended, with Kristin Kreuk in that quarter crouch, angling past Stewart's defenses, getting to her spots, and getting off. K-Stew now firin' back in kind, however. And, we're seein' some SPIRITED exchanges in there, Champ!"
Britney: "Definitely are. Sweat now joining the sand and leather flying along this beach."
Man In The Hat: "See? Not too cold to build up a sweat..."
Anna: "It's freezing out here, Wiz. I'm glad I retired before you could set up that 'Ice Station Zebra' card..."
Man In The Hat: "Freakin' PUTIN! HIS day is gonna come. ANYway, we're seein' some good back and forth stuff inside the ropes right now. Krissy Kreuk takin' this to middle distances again and again, but K-Stew now throwin' back on those terms, givin' about as good as she gets."
Anna: "Pretty nice adjustment by our girl."
Man In The Hat: "Not many fighters better at that than 'The Five-Tool Player'. We're down under twenty to go in a very competitive round. SHARP exchange right there and BOTH fighters landed a solid right hand in it. Ladies clinch now with five seconds to go. Ref breaks them and there's the bell. Close. Krissy Kreuk."
Britney: "And Kristin's up 29-28 after three."
ROUND FOUR:
Man In The Hat: "We start the fourth with Kreuk again angling to middle distances where she can get off with both hands and STEWART NAILS HER WITH A RIGHT HOOK! Oh, K-Stew keyholed that one and Krissy Kreuk is steppin' in fence post holes over here!"
Anna: "And Stewart going all in immediately!"
Man In The Hat: "And doin' so effectively. She's got Kreuk in full reverse, backing her across the sand to the ropes and then making with the heavy artillery. Canadian in a high guard, leanin' back in the ropes, tryin' ta hold on. Stewart lookin' ta finish this thing as she accumulates both points and hurt..."
Britney: "Not trying for one big punch. Very disciplined."
Man In The Hat: "Coming down the stretch now. Kreuk's played very good defense here. K-Stew's landed some good shot, but Kristin's taken it and stayed on her feet. Ref lookin' in, but not seein' enough ta stop this thing. Final seconds runnin' off the clock and there's the bell. K-Stew. Wide."
Anna: "We're even at 38. But, Kreuk is still standing."
ROUND FIVE:
Man In The Hat: "K-Stew comin' forward ta start the fifth. She's lookin' ta clean up or finish up. Kreuk givin' ground. She's keepin' the hands high, playin' defense, lookin' ta counter in spots. GOOD right by Stewart shook Kreuk! Kristin wobbled and nearly went down right there!"
Anna: "Be patient now. Patient. Finish this."
Man In The Hat: "Stewart workin' Kreuk back. Kristin tryin' ta stay off the ropes while Stewart is definitely lookin' ta pin her there. Kristin ties up. Ref breaks the girls apart and Stewart gets back ta work, jabbing, dropping in right hands and DROPPING KREUK IN THE SAND WITH A STRAIGHT RIGHT!"
Britney: "GREAT shot!"
Man In The Hat: "Kreuk down on her back as Stewart heads to a neutral corner. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Kristin rolls to her belly. Six. Seven. Kreuk up to hands and knees, back and hair all covered with sand. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! Kreuk can't get off all fours and it's OVER! And your winner by KO5 is 'The Five-Tool Player', Kristen Stewart!"
AFTER:
Man In The Hat: "I'm inside the ropes with our winner, Kristen Stewart, and, Kris, nice win tonight, kid..."
Kristen (smiling): "Thanks, Wiz. She's obviously not easy to deal with. She's very smart, adjusts nicely, finds ways to get offense on you. But. I knew I'd get a chance to get her out of there sooner or later and I did."
Man In The Hat (smiling): "We're lookin' forward to another big year from you, Kris..."
Kristen: "So am I. But, right now, I'm looking forward to getting INSIDE out of this COLD, thank you!"
"Yeah, it's been rough," says Kristin with a shake of the head. "Having to leave the Consortium, being on my own. But. I'm still a top flyweight, and when I beat Stewart, well. Things may change."
"She's right about one thing," says Kristen with a smile. "She's still a top flyweight. But. She's not beating me tonight or any night."
