BEFORE:
"Cassie's OK, you know," says Ashley with a smile. "And, she's a good fighter, too. But. Ashley Benson's little slump is over, and she's ready to get back into the title picture. And, well. Cassie's in my way."
"Ashley's a friend, no question about that," says Cassie with a smile of her own. "But. It's time for me to reclaim what's MINE, the flyweight belts. And, Ashley is in MY way."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and we're being joined by Alison Brie, who runs Front Street TV..."
Tess: "And puts out the 'propaganda' Mac refuses to read..."
McCarthy: "Oh, she's nothing but a figurehead! I know LAVIGNE is still behind it!"
O'Dell: "Welcome, Alison..."
Alison: "Happy to be here and looking forward to sitting in for Cassie when she's busy in the ring."
McCarthy: "Just don't start with ME, Brie, and you'll be fine..."
O'Dell: "Annnnddddddd, that's 'It Girl' by Twirl you hear behind us, and here comes PLP's blonde beauty, Ashley Benson!"
McCarthy: "Another girl who can actually FIGHT. Brie, you work with Weirdo, did someone spike his PBR this month, or what?"
Alison: "I'm not going to dignify that with a response..."
McCarthy: "Don't MAKE me call my agent and get you removed from this broadcast..."
Alison: "Why bother. He's just going to send you to voicemail..."
Tess: "You're going to fit in here jussssttt fine..."
McCarthy: "Shut up, Walmart!"
O'Dell: "Drink up, boys, as Ashley is helped off with the robe to reveal a cobalt blue number that's gotten the attention of this crowd..."
Alison: "Here's where Mac says Philly crowds have low standards..."
Tess: "Jusssttt fine!"
McCarthy: "YOU...I'LL..."
O'Dell: "Now, calm down, Mac..."
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones your mother gives you
Don't do anything at all...
O'Dell: "And, that's 'White Rabbit' by Jefferson Airplane you hear, and that can only mean that 'The Heiress', Cassie Scerbo, is on her way to the ring..."
Alison: "And, if Mac had READ my prep material, she'd know that 'White Rabbit' was written by Grace Slick..."
McCarthy: "I KNOW WHO WROTE IT AND SHUT UP, BRIE!"
Tess: "Your first 'shut up' less than five minutes into your first fight? I'm impressed, Alison..."
Alison: "Thank you!"
O'Dell (sighing): "Last fight. Then, a bottle of Jack. Scerbo into the ring for her Front Street debut. She's helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve to reveal a white number that has the crowd popping, and, we're about ready for some picks. Tess likes Cassie. Mac?"
McCarthy: "Oh. I just couldn't WAIT for this. BENSON! BENSON is going to knock her out and I'm going to CELEBRATE!"
Alison: "Cassie asked me to tell everyone that she agrees with Tess!"
O'Dell: "And, there's the bell. Scerbo bouncin' and misbehavin' early. She's on her toes circling as Benson looks to cut the ring down and line up her fellow blonde. Cassie having none of that at the moment, as a feeling out process has definitely commenced here..."
Tess: "Recon the name of the game."
O'Dell: "No doubt about it. Ladies somewhat busy with the punches, but nobody really committing on anything or trying to force any offense. Instead, it's all about tactics and figuring out where the weaknesses are, where the spots you can score from are. Both are finding some."
McCarthy: "Benson needs to just get AFTER this little twerp..."
O'Dell: "Thirty seconds to go in the first. Both blondes continuing to work the feet, continuing to probe. Nobody's gained much of an advantage to this point and no one's got enough time to do so now. Final seconds tick away and there's the bell. Close. In fact, too close. Dead even in the first."
Alison: "And 10-10 on the cards."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "More of the same. Scerbo bouncing around the ring, making things tough on Benson. Ashley looking to slow her fellow blonde down, line her up, but not having any success doing it. Instead, Cassie's ranging around the ring, snapping out that jab effectively..."
Alison: "You aren't beating Cassie like this..."
O'Dell: "I'd have to agree, Alison. These are the kinds of terms Scerbo thrives on, using the legs, stopping for quick pops, bouncing away before you can get anything going in counter. And, she's definitely getting what she wants right now. Still not committing much, though..."
Tess: "Was just going to make that observation, Jenny."
O'Dell: "Seems like Scerbo's still waiting on Benson, seeing what Ashley's going to try to do to push things. Right now, the answer is, not a lot, as Benson's continuing to work the feet and try to slow Cassie down with the jab. There's the bell. End of the second. Scerbo's round."
McCarthy: "Which puts the twerp up 20-19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Benson pressuring now. Ashley no longer content to work from the outside. Instead, the blonde beauty looking to cut the ring, close, and bang, and, at the moment, she's getting that done. Scerbo firing back in kind but Benson getting the better of these exchanges..."
McCarthy: "That's because all the twerp can do is dance around!"
O'Dell: "Ashley landing a nice combination there, forces Scerbo to cover up. Cassie not hurt, but she's taking some punishment right now as Benson's getting things rolling for the first time in the fight. NICE combination right there for Ashley! Snapped the head back with a right hand..."
Tess: "Cassie lands a nice right in counter, but these terms are working much better for Benson."
O'Dell: "Definitely are. We're coming down the stretch in the third and Ashley's built a solid lead. She's finding ways to corral Cassie, to line her up, and to make with the heavy leather when she does so. Ten seconds to go. Good combination, Benson, and there's the bell. Not close this time. Ashley."
Alison: "And, we're even at 29."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "Benson continuing to press her newfound advantage. Ashley's getting the terms she wants now, cutting the ring, closing, and banging. Again, Cassie fighting back, scoring inside, but it's definitely Benson who's getting the better of things now, as she begins piling up another lead..."
McCarthy: "Twerp is a one-trick pony! Take away all her dancing, and she's nothing special!"
O'Dell: "Cassie backed up with a hard one-two from Benson. Scerbo covering up as Ashley gets off lusty with both hands yet again. Cassie not hurt, but, for the second round in a row, she's taking some punishment from the Pretty Little Punchers beauty, who's definitely found something now."
Alison: "Cassie going to need to make an adjustment."
O'Dell: "No doubt about it, because, we've got about fifteen seconds to go, and, for the second straight round, it's been Benson in control from the opening seconds. And, there's a good right hand for Ashley right at the bell. No doubt about it. Benson and wide in the fourth."
Tess: "And Ashley pulls into the lead 39-38."
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "And, there's the adjustment we were talking about. Cassie moving even more now. She's giving ground, using a drop step, stopping and reversing direction, doing everything she can to foul Benson's aim, and it's working. All of a sudden, we're back on the terms we saw in the first two rounds."
McCarthy: "With Scerbo RUNNING AWAY!"
O'Dell: "I wouldn't call it running, because, Cassie's getting some work done. She's stopping to pop, then getting back into motion. She's committing now and getting more leather on, and that's giving Ashley the ability to fire back in spots, put some of her own punches together..."
Tess: "Not a lot in it right now."
O'Dell: "Not much, and we're coming down the stretch. Cassie ranging around the ring, reversing, reversing again, stopping, landing a nice combination, slipping a rejoinder and bouncing away. Final seconds ticking off and there's the bell. Close one, but Scerbo's getting the points."
Alison: "And, we are even at 48."
ROUND SIX:
O'Dell: "Second half begins with Scerbo on the move and Benson aggressively looking to close. This is going to come down to who gets the terms she wants, and both fighters determined to enforce...RIGHT HAND, ASHLEY! And that wobbled Cassie and DOWN SHE GOES AFTER A SHORT RIGHT HOOK!"
McCarthy: "YES! The little twerp is DOWN!"
O'Dell: "Benson quickly to a neutral corner. Scerbo flat on her back as the referee counts down. Three. Four. Five. Six. Cassie sitting up. Seven. Eight. Scerbo to her feet. Referee going to give her the mandatory and WAIVE ON ASHLEY! Benson buzz sawing and GETTING ROCKED! Scerbo a right hand and Ashley's wobbly butt and down SHE goes after a Sugar Ray Leonard flurry!"
Tess: "THAT's my BFF, right there!"
O'Dell: "Crowd going NUTS! Scerbo to a neutral corner. Benson now down on her back. Referee's count at three, four, five, six. Benson to her feet at seven. Ref now giving Ashley the mandatory and HERE COMES CASSIE! Scerbo's fists a blur as she drives Benson back into the ropes and WOBBLES her with a right hand and THE REF STEPS IN!"
McCarthy: "NOOOOO! Don't stop it!"
O'Dell: "Ref bundling Benson to safety and your winner by TKO6 in THRILLING fashion is 'The Heiress' Cassie Scerbo!"
Alison: "I think I'm going to enjoy broadcasting Cassie's fights..."
McCarthy: "Shut up, Brie!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "Obviously, the lady I have with me needs no introduction. BFF, it got a little scary there for a minute..."
Cassie (nodding): "She caught me a good one, no question. But, when she came at me, well. I had a little something for her."
Tess (shaking her head): "Where did that right hand come from?"
Cassie: "I ALWAYS have some things in my bag of tricks. And, let me just tell all the Top Twenty flyweights who don't fight for Front Street. I'm coming for you. And, I'm BRINGING that bag."
"Cassie's OK, you know," says Ashley with a smile. "And, she's a good fighter, too. But. Ashley Benson's little slump is over, and she's ready to get back into the title picture. And, well. Cassie's in my way."
"Ashley's a friend, no question about that," says Cassie with a smile of her own. "But. It's time for me to reclaim what's MINE, the flyweight belts. And, Ashley is in MY way."
