BEFORE:
"Tough assignment," admits Ciara with a nod. "Fortunately, I'm a tough GIRL."
"She's definitely got the physicals," says Katy with a smile. "But. So do I."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside, and that's 'That Girl', but, obviously it's not Justin Timberlake singing it. Instead, the lovely voice you hear is that of star of screen AND stage, Ciara Renee!"
Tess: "Ciara, from nearby Harrisburg, PA, and, of course, she starred on CW as 'Hawkgirl' and also on Broadway in 'Jesus Christ, Superstar' and 'Frozen'."
McCarthy: "Blah, blah, blah! Typical Dancing Hooker opponent. No FCBA wins!"
O'Dell: "Ciara into the ring and helped off with the robe. She's looking VERY good in that eggplant two piece. And, that's 'California Gurls' you hear behind us, and that can only mean that 'The Santa Barbara Slugger', Katy Perry, is on her way to the ring!"
Cassie: "Katy looking to become the first Front Street fighter ever to win two titles. And, if that's going to happen this year, she needs a win tonight."
O'Dell: "Perry into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. She's looking good in that red number we've seen before. And, the ladies are about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Katy. Mac?"
McCarthy: "NO FCBA wins! Perry!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "Here we go with Ciara coming right after Katy! Renee stepping to the singer, backing her up with hard shot to head and body. And damning just about all torpedoes while she's doing it. No doubt, Ciara's a sturdy girl who can hit, but this isn't the strategy we usually see against Katy..."
McCarthy: "That's because this kid is like ME. She's not afraid of Weirdo and his Hookers!"
O'Dell: "Katy being forced to give ground under the onslaught. Either unwilling or unable to hold canvas right now. I'm betting the former. Not going to take a chance this early in the fight, since, unlike Renee, Perry definitely has something to lose. GOOD right from Ciara right there!"
Tess: "Definitely some power behind that punch."
O'Dell: "Down under thirty seconds to go. GOOD combination by Ciara again. She's been in control from the beginning of the round, taking the fight to the Front Streeter, keeping her on the back foot. Katy tying up now. Ref going to break the fighters and there's the bell. Ciara. Wide."
Cassie: "And, Renee takes the early 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Ciara continuing with the pressure as we start round two. Brunette determined to take the fight to Perry and keep her on the back foot. Katy giving ground, playing defense, not taking any unnecessary chances at the moment. And, that's allowing Renee to continue fighting lead."
Tess: "Not sure how long Perry's going to continue with this. Sooner or later, she's got to hold canvas."
O'Dell: "Not doing it right now. Instead, we're seeing the same pattern we did in the first, and aggressive Ciara backing Perry up with hard shot. And, she's doing it in a sound way, using the jab, setting up punches and GETTING DROPPED WITH A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND FROM KATY!"
Cassie (singing): "Turn out the liiiiggghhhhttsss. The party's ohhhhhverrrrr..."
O'Dell: "Katy to a neutral corner. Ciara down on her back, arms above her head, eyes closed, no movement at all. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. He's going to be able to count for a long time. Seven. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! And your winner by KO2 is 'The Santa Barbara Slugger', Katy Perry!"
McCarthy: "Another lucky punch!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Katy Perry, and, Katy, she was not shy about getting after you..."
Katy (nodding): "That's how she fights. And, you've got to respect it. There are girls she's going to overwhelm with that aggression and power. But. You aren't playing that game against ME."
Tess: "What's next for you?"
Katy: "No secret. I want the belts back. And, I'm going to do everything I can to get another chance at them."
"Tough assignment," admits Ciara with a nod. "Fortunately, I'm a tough GIRL."
