BEFORE:
"No," says Jessica with a shake of the head, "My record here has not been the best. But. Those girls? They were champions. This girl? Just a wannabe."
"Wannabe?" Taylor asks with a smile. "Well. We'll just have to see about that, won't we?"
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Zou Bisou Bisou' you hear behind us, and here comes the singer of that tune, the lovely Jessica Pare!"
McCarthy: "I STILL don't get why Pare would come down to a song about a ZOO, even if she DID sing it..."
Tess: "Mac..."
Cassie: "WORTH it, BFF?"
Tess: "Well, we're half way through the card, probably not enough time..."
McCarthy: "What ARE you two babbling about?"
O'Dell (sighing): "Pare, who, of course, stars in CBS's 'SEAL Team', into the ring and helped off with the robe to reveal that blue flowered number we've seen before. And, that's "Natural' by Imagine Dragons you hear behind us, and that can only mean that 'The Face', Taylor Hill is on her way to the ring..."
McCarthy: "Overrated TOOTHPICK!"
O'Dell: "Hill wasting no time nor even a GLANCE at Mac on her way to the ring..."
McCarthy: "Because she KNOWS better than to EYE me..."
O'Dell: "Instead, she climbs in and is helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve to reveal that azure number she likes. And, the ladies are about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Hill. Mac?"
McCarthy: "Talentless TOOTHPICK. Even Pare can beat her!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "And, we're underway. Pare right after Hill! She's stepping to, letting the hands go. Hill in full retreat here. May not have seen this coming, and I don't blame her, because Pare's a fighter who likes to box at range. But, that's not the plan today. She's getting ALL in Taylor's grill!"
McCarthy: "Because this is how you beat a talentless TOOTHPICK!"
O'Dell: "Hill all defense, giving ground, covering up, riding out a blizzard of punches from a super-aggressive Jessica. Older brunette landing some solid shot in there, keeping her younger rival on the back foot, landing a HARD right hand right there and Hill backs up again..."
Cassie: "Taylor playing this smart right now. Picking her spots."
O'Dell: "Is, indeed. Down to twenty seconds to go in the round. ANOTHER good right from Jessica! Taylor not hurt, but she felt that one. Final seconds ticking down. Pare still banging away. Hill countering here and there, but that's it. And, there's the bell. Jessica. Wide."
Tess: "And, up 10-9."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Pare right back at Taylor to start the second. Clear that the older woman isn't planning on boxing with and trying to go rounds here. She's about getting Hill out of there. Taylor firing back in counter, getting a little more done than she did in the first, at least at the moment..."
Tess: "Finding ways to deal with the pressure."
O'Dell: "No doubt. GOOD right hand counter from Hill there, but it doesn't slow Pare, who fires back with another hard combination. Jessica still fighting lead as she continues to push the issue and GETS DROPPED BY A RIGHT HAND FROM TAYLOR HILL! WHAT A SHOT!"
Cassie (singing): "Turn out the liiiiggghttttsss. The party's ohhhhhverrrrrrrr..."
O'Dell: "Pare down on her back, eyes closed. Hill quickly to a neutral corner. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. No movement at all from Jessica. Six. Seven. This is not going to happen. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! And your winner by KO2 in lightning strike fashion is 'The Face', Taylor Hill!"
McCarthy: "Lucky punch!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Taylor Hill, and, Taylor, that was very physical..."
Taylor (nodding): "Didn't think she'd play it that way. She can box. But, clearly she was looking for something big early. That wasn't going to happen."
Tess: "You've been on a pretty hot streak since moving down from welter. What's next for you?"
Taylor: "I'm looking to work toward a shot at the lightweight belts. So. We'll see what helps get me there."
"No," says Jessica with a shake of the head, "My record here has not been the best. But. Those girls? They were champions. This girl? Just a wannabe."
"Wannabe?" Taylor asks with a smile. "Well. We'll just have to see about that, won't we?"
