BEFORE:
"I just don't GET it," says Sarah with a shake of the head. "If this stable wanted a Disney girl at flyweight, why the HELL would they sign a loser like Donnelly instead of ME? Well. Tonight, I'll PROVE how WRONG they were!"
"There's a REASON," says a hard-eyed Meg, "That I was signed instead of Sarah. It's because I'm BETTER than she is!"
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Set It Off' from Disney's 'Descendants', and here comes the singer of that tune, Vancouver's own Sarah Jeffery!"
McCarthy: "YAWN! ANOTHER Dancing Hooker Opponent with NO FCBA wins!"
O'Dell: "Sarah BOUNCING down the aisle, smiling and waiving and oozing confidence. She's into the ring and helped off with the robe to reveal that frilly crepe number we've seen before, waiving at the crowd...and that's 'BAAM' you hear behind us, and here comes the singer of THAT Disney tune, 'The Peapack Punisher', Meg Donnelly!"
Cassie: "And Meg is ALL business on her way to the ring..."
Tess: "Definitely no love lost between these two at the moment."
O'Dell: "Donnelly into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. She's wearing that yellow number we've seen before. And, the ladies are about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Meg. Mac?"
McCarthy: "NO FCBA wins...Donnelly."
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "Two straight unanimous panels. Let's see if the ladies are right. Sarah wasting no time getting after Meg! Jeffery walking right forward behind the left jab and backing the surprised blonde up with hard right hands. Donnelly almost immediately thrown onto the defensive here..."
McCarthy: "Not surprised this poor kid didn't expect this. No trainers who know anything and Weirdo, who is clueless, helping them!"
O'Dell: "Sarah inside and digging body now. Meg tying up, but Jeffery shoves her off, goes right back to work landing a SOLID right hand! Donnelly backed up again. Blonde spending much too much time on the back foot right now, ladies, and the brunette is taking FULL advantage."
Cassie: "She'll be fine. Just has to stabilize her front."
O'Dell: "Unable to do that at the moment, though. Instead, Sarah right in the American's grill, working her over to the body, then going upstairs to back her up again. Five seconds to go. GOOD right hand from the Canadian and there's the bell. Not close in the first. Jeffery. Wide."
Tess: "And, up 10-9."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Sarah wants to continue to pressure. Meg giving a little ground, moving laterally more, getting the jab on, looking to slow the brunette down, and getting some of that done. Donnelly wants to box in space, and, when she can get space, she's getting some work done..."
Cassie: "This is definitely more Meg's game. She's not really a brawler."
O'Dell: "Jeffery continuing to work to pressure. When she can get inside, she goes body, then works upstairs. She's scoring well in those exchanges. Meg, meanwhile, working hard to keep them short, get back to range where she wants to box. Good two-way round so far..."
Tess: "Donnelly moving much more this round, and that's been the difference."
O'Dell: "Definitely has. She's not dancing or circling, but she's not static, allowing Jeffery to line her up like she was in the previous round. We're down to ten seconds to go in this one. NICE exchange there and both fighters landed a good shot. There's the bell. Very close. Meg."
McCarthy: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Settling in to a fight for terms right now. Sarah wants to get inside, get physical, and, when she's able to do that, she's getting the better of things, working Meg's body, landing some solid shot upstairs, piling up points. Blonde, meanwhile, wants range, and she's using the legs and the jab to get it..."
Tess: "And, showing nice movement with both hands and feet."
O'Dell: "Is, indeed. No dancing or circling, but constant movement making it difficult for Sarah to square her up and close. But, to her credit, the Canadian getting that done, and, when she does, she's taking full advantage, scoring with both hands to head and body."
McCarthy: "Just keep at it and the Dancing Hooker will fold like a cheap lawn chair!"
O'Dell: "Fifteen to go in a very competitive third. Sarah inside again, working the ribs. Meg ties her up. Jeffery shoves off, goes tummy. Meg ties up again. This time the ref will get in there and break them apart and there's the bell. Not a a lot in it for the second round in a row. This time, though, Sarah gets the points."
Cassie: "And inches back into the lead 29-28."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "Back to work in the fourth, with the two Disney girls continuing to work to get the terms they want. Donnelly jabbing early and often, looking to slow down Sarah, keep her at range, where the blonde can get off in combination. And, Mac, Meg showing some really nice accuracy on the punches..."
McCarthy: "She is. Landing a high percentage."
O'Dell: "But, not stopping Sarah from working inside, and, when the brunette gets there, she gets off quickly. Still plenty of body work being done by the Canadian, but, she's going upstairs more now, even backing the blonde up here and there. Meg ties her up, forces a break, and gets back to the distance she wants."
Cassie: "Seeing some good stuff from Meg here. I like how hard she's working and how she's adjusting."
O'Dell: "And, good stuff from Sarah, as well. Have to wonder what Jeffery might be capable of with consistent work. Ten seconds remaining in another competitive round. SHARP exchange there and the blonde landed a really nice right hand in it and there's the bell. Close again. Donnelly this time.
Tess: "Even again, this time at 38."
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "Fifth begins with Jeffery working forward, closing, banging some body in there. Donnelly firing back in kind briefly, then slipping away to her right, giving a little ground, getting the left jab going. Brunette right back at the blonde. Determined to work body inside..."
Tess: "And, as you point out, working more upstairs than she was earlier in the fight."
O'Dell: "No doubt about it. Nice right hook from Jeffery. Meg covers up, gives a little ground, then again slips away to her right, establishing range and that left jab. Sarah again aggressively forward and ROCKED BY A STRAIGHT RIGHT! Donnelly staggers Jeffery and then DROPS HER with a quick flurry!"
Cassie: "Nice, Meg! Nice!"
O'Dell: "Donnelly quickly to a neutral corner. Sarah down on her back, staring up at the ref. Count at three. Four. Five. Jeffery rolls to her belly at six. Seven. Pushing to hands and knees at eight. Nine. Not going to make it. TEN! It's OVER! Sarah still on all fours as the count passes her by and it's OVER! And your winner by KO5 is 'The Peapack Punisher', Meg Donnelly!"
McCarthy: "Lucky punch, that's all!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Meg Donnelly, and, Meg, Sarah was after you from the start..."
Meg (nodding): "That's the thing when you're developing in a stable. Girls come at you hard, because they think they're as good as you are and should be where you are. Well. She isn't, and she's not going to be."
Tess: "What's next for you?"
Meg: "I just want to stay busy. I'm learning and getting better every time out. Just get me back in the ring. That's all I want."
"I just don't GET it," says Sarah with a shake of the head. "If this stable wanted a Disney girl at flyweight, why the HELL would they sign a loser like Donnelly instead of ME? Well. Tonight, I'll PROVE how WRONG they were!"
"There's a REASON," says a hard-eyed Meg, "That I was signed instead of Sarah. It's because I'm BETTER than she is!"
