BEFORE:
"No pressure on me," says Meghan with a gorgeous smile. "Everybody things I'm here to get walked over. So, I'll just go out there and relax...and surprise everyone."
"Big goals for 2021," says Lili without a hint of a smile of her own. "Big goals. Nothing personal with Meghan. She's just in my way. And, we can't have that. So..."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Started From The Bottom' by Drake, and here comes Montreal native Meghan Rath!"
McCarthy: "Typical Dancing Hooker Opponent. NO FCBA wins."
Tess: "Two fights. Both at Asylum..."
O'Dell: "Rath wasting no time getting down the aisle and into the ring. She's helped off with the robe to reveal that coral number we've seen before, and, that's 'What I've Done' by Linkin Park you hear hammering through the area and that can only mean that 'Diamond' Lili Reinhart is on her way to the ring..."
Cassie: "Lili, of course, worked her way into the title picture with a VERY impressive 2020...and, I think we all know what she means when she says 'Big goals'..."
O'Dell: "Reinhart into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. She's wearing that white number we've seen before and has the crowd popping for it..."
McCarthy: "Philly. LOW standards..."
O'Dell: "Annnddddd, it's time for some picks. Tess likes Lili. Mac?"
McCarthy: "NO FCBA wins. Reinhart!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "Unanimous for the opener, and Rath on the move as we get rolling. Meaghan has some length and she's very athletic and she's using both of those to her advantage early. Blonde, meanwhile, stalking. Lili not being overly aggressive. Instead, she's looking to slow the brunette down and get off quickly."
Cassie: "Reinhart's more than willing to box a girl. She can bang, but she doesn't have to."
O'Dell: "Ladies exchange quickly and both land a nice right hand in there. Rath circling, jabbing, Lili steps forward, gets off in combination. Meaghan circles away. Reinhart plenty patient. She moves pretty well herself, and she's finding ways to create exchanges..."
Tess: "But, to Rath's credit, she's holding her own in those."
O'Dell: "Is, indeed. We're down under 30 to go in the first. It's been a close one. Reinhart again forward to get off in combination. Rath fires back, lands a good left and then circles away. Brunette going to leg out the final seconds of this one. There's the bell. Close. Lili."
McCarthy: "And the Dancing Hooker is up 10-9."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Rath bouncin' and misbehavin' as we start the second. Reinhart stalking, stepping to, eating a face full of leather! Nice, quick flurry from the brunette stops the blonde cold, and Rath quickly circles away. American stalking again, but Rath jabbing, keeping her off..."
McCarthy: "Nice adjustment from the Dancing Hooker Opponent..."
O'Dell: "She's definitely causing the blonde some problems now. Lili unable to get to spots to get off. Rath beating the younger woman to punches and controlling the round with that jab. She's holding Reinhart with it and either circling away or following with good right hands."
Tess: "And, some of those rights have been plenty solid."
O'Dell: "No doubt about it. Final twenty seconds of what's been an excellent round for the brunette. Rath stops, gets off a quick flurry, circles away before Reinhart can respond. And, for the second time in a row, Meaghan going to leg away the final seconds of the round, but, this time, she's won it. And, wide, too."
Cassie: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "More movement from Meaghan as we start the third. Reinhart keeping the guard up now, tucking that head behind the gloves, blocking some of those jabs so that she can step to and get off. Rath still keeping the exchanges short, slipping away to open canvas."
Tess: "Nice adjustment from Lili, though, and it's put us back on the terms we saw in the first."
O'Dell: "Certainly has. Two way stuff, with Rath moving and Reinhart stalking, picking her spots to pop forward and get off quickly in combination. Meaghan slips away again behind the left jab. Reinhart right back in her grill and ROCKS HER WITH A RIGHT HAND! Rath stumbles and LILI DROPS HER WITH A RIGHT HOOK!"
Cassie: "Oooh, she got almost ALL of that..."
O'Dell: "Reinhart quickly to a neutral corner. Rath down on her right side parallel to the ropes. Referee counting down at her. Three. Four. Five. Meaghan reaching for the bottom rope at six, drapes her arm over at seven. Eight. Not going to happen. Nine. TEN! Meaghan still on her belly with her right arm draped over the bottom rope as the count passes her by and it's OVER! And your winner by KO3 is 'Diamond' Lili Reinhart!"
McCarthy: "Lucky punch!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Lili Reinhart, and, Lili, you talked before the fight about big goals..."
Lili: "Absolutely. 2020 was a very good year for me. But, 2021? That needs to be even bigger."
Tess: "And, we're talking about a shot at the gold, correct?"
Lili: "Not just a shot at it. We're talking about a belt around my waist and one on each shoulder. Big goals, Tess. Big goals."
"No pressure on me," says Meghan with a gorgeous smile. "Everybody things I'm here to get walked over. So, I'll just go out there and relax...and surprise everyone."
"Big goals for 2021," says Lili without a hint of a smile of her own. "Big goals. Nothing personal with Meghan. She's just in my way. And, we can't have that. So..."
