BEFORE:
"Glad to be back here," Perdita says with a smile. "Oh, I know I didn't win last time, but I fought pretty well against a good fighter. Well. Tonight, I get a better fighter. And, I'll be even better."
"She can fight," says Chloe with a nod. "Athletic. Knows what she's doing. It's like they say. There are lots of girls she can beat. I'm just not one of them."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "We are back at ringside and that's 'Scary Monsters' by David Bowie, and here comes the star of 'Magnum P.I.', Perdita Weeks!"
Tess: "Here comes the Tom Selleck comment..."
McCarthy: "SHUT UP, WALMART!"
O'Dell: "Drink up, boys, as Perdita climbs into the ring and is helped off with the robe to reveal that black number we've seen before...and she's looking good in it, if the crowd reaction can be believed. And, that's..."
McCarthy: "VILE! HORRIBLE! An assault on my OLFACTION!"
O'Dell (sighing): "'Uh Oh', by the young lady coming to the ring right now, the former Unified Bantamweight Champion, 'The Next Big Thing' Chloe Bennet!"
Cassie: "Bennet coming off a win over Hewitt, aiming to get those bantamweight belts back. And, to do that any time soon, she needs to take care of business tonight."
O'Dell: "Chloe into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. Looking good as always in that blue number she likes. Ladies about ready. Time for some picks. Tess likes Chloe. Mac?"
McCarthy: "NO FCBA wins and she is NOT the star of 'Magnum, P.I.', Tom Selleck is! Bennet."
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "Unanimous for the first time tonight, and Weeks showing the same style we saw the last time she was here. She's right in Chloe's grill to start this thing, and Bennet not going to take a step back and HERE WE GO! Ladies hot tossing in the middle of the ring right away..."
Cassie: "If there's a girl in the FCBA who isn't going to take a step back if you want to bang, that girl is Chloe Bennet."
O'Dell: "No doubt about that, as she's proven over and over again. Ladies just going TO TOWN right now, exchanging hard leather, banging away. No body work at the moment, it's all upstairs as both blonde and brunette want to make a statement here, and both are absolutely doing it..."
Tess: "Yes, and the statement is, I'm not backing down."
O'Dell: "Certainly is. Under 20 remaining in an action-packed first. Weeks a GOOD right hand and Bennet responds with one of her own. I'm going to stay the same thing now that I said when Weeks fought King, there is NO way this is going to the cards if they stay after one another like this. There's the bell. Close. Perdita."
McCarthy: "And, Weeks up 10-9."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Second verse, same as the first. Blonde and brunette simply right AT one another in the middle of the ring. No one interested in giving ground, trying to manage, slowing things down. Instead, they're banging away, but there's nothing sloppy about it, Mac..."
McCarthy: "No, both setting up punches, using the jab.'
O'Dell: "Indeed, they are, but they're also sitting down on almost everything and definitely looking to hurt as much as score. Seeing a little more body work now, but still not a lot. The odd hook to the ribs or belly, but it's mostly working up high at range and mid range."
Tess: "No phone booth stuff, though."
O'Dell: "None at all. And we're seeing good head, hand, and foot movement. The fight just isn't ranging around the ring. They're in the middle and they're working and working hard. Not a real lot in it for the second round in a row. Sharp exchange and there's the bell. Close again. Bennet."
Cassie: "Even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Ladies back at one another as we start the third. Lots of technique being shown here, so we are not in 'brawl' territory, but, there's no question we've got a whole lot of bangin' going on from both blonde and brunette, as the fighters continue to endeavor to impose will on one another..."
Cassie: "And continue not to be able to do it."
O'Dell: "And, give Perdita credit, because there aren't a lot of bantamweights who could hang in with Bennet like this. Weeks, however, is doing it, no doubt about that. GOOD right from Perdita backed Chloe up a step. Brunette steps right back up and gets to work, however."
McCarthy: "You said it, Jenny. Something's got to give here. But, when and what?"
O'Dell: "That's the question as we roll down the stretch in the third. Sharp exchange between blonde and brunette there. Nobody really gaining an advantage. It's been close throughout for the third consecutive round. Ten seconds to go. One more sharp exchange and there's the bell. Weeks. Narrowly."
Tess: "And the blonde is back on top 29-28."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "No change in strategy for either fighter. Blonde and brunette have been AT one another from the opening seconds, and they still are. Tons of heavy leather being tossed back and forth and still no one is willing to give an inch in the face of all that shell fire..."
Tess: "Both fighters proving they can take a licking and keep on ticking."
O'Dell: "We knew that about Bennet. But, Weeks, who showed the same sort of form in her first fight is underlining her abilities in this one. GOOD left by Perdita and BENNET ROCKS HER WITH A RIGHT HAND! Perdita staggered and then DROPPED WITH A LEFT HOOK!"
Cassie: "Wicked shot!"
O'Dell: "Perdita down on her back as the brunette heads to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. Weeks rolling to her belly at six. Seven. Pushing to hands and knees at eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! Perdita still on all fours as the count passes her by and it's OVER! And your winner by KO4 is 'The Next Big Thing', Chloe Bennet!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Chloe Bennet, and, Chloe, that was something in there!"
Chloe (smiling): "Yeah. I love fights like that. Just get after it. She got after me, and I got after her."
Tess: "What's next for you?"
Chloe: "Whatever gets me closer to a shot at getting those belts back."
"Glad to be back here," Perdita says with a smile. "Oh, I know I didn't win last time, but I fought pretty well against a good fighter. Well. Tonight, I get a better fighter. And, I'll be even better."
"She can fight," says Chloe with a nod. "Athletic. Knows what she's doing. It's like they say. There are lots of girls she can beat. I'm just not one of them."
