BEFORE:
"It's ridiculous that I've only had five FCBA fights," says Bebe shaking her head. "I've given girls problems every time out. And, I guess that's why nobody's calling."
"Actually, I agree with Bebe," says Sophie with a smile. "She can beat a lot of girls in the FCBA. But, she's in with the WRONG girl tonight."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'I'm Gonna Show You Crazy' you hear behind us..."
Cassie: "You know, Mac, after Uncle Wiz bought your song, you should have come down to the ring to THIS one..."
McCarthy: "You LITTLE..."
O'Dell: "Now, calm DOWN, Mac! It's too early for drama. Instead, let's keep our eyes on the ring as the singer of this tune, the lovely Bebe Rexha, climbs into the ring and is helped off with the robe. Blonde beauty's looking plenty good and plenty curvy in that pink number we've seen before. Aaaaannndddd, that's 'Hotter Than Hell' by Dua Lipa banging through the arena, but it's not Dua coming down to ringside. Instead, it's 'Sultry' Sophie Mudd..."
Tess: "Mudd off to a great start for Front Street. It's a very competitive bantam division here, but Sophie's showing signs of being able to work her way up the pecking order."
O'Dell: "Mudd into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. She's looking VERY good in that Egyptian blue number she likes. And, the ladies are about ready to go. Tess likes Sophie. Mac?"
McCarthy: "Yet again. Typical Dancing Hooker opponent. NO FCBA wins. Mudd."
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess..."
O'Dell: "Unanimous in the first and blonde and brunette wasting no time going right after one another! Bebe in Sophie's grill and Mudd more than happy to bang with anyone, including a girl as sturdy as Rexha and BEBE ROCKS MUDD! Sophie staggered by a right hook..."
McCarthy: "GREASE THE SKIDS, because THIS Dancing Hooker may be on the way OUT of here!"
O'Dell: "Rexha getting off heavy shot, backing up a wobbly Sophie. Mudd covering up, jabbing back here and there but she's mostly taking a pounding by the older blonde, who's in complete control now as she traps the brunette on the ropes and goes body in a big way..."
Cassie: "Downstairs and then up, clearly trying to finish this thing..."
O'Dell: "Is, indeed. Running out of time. Ten seconds left in the first. GOOD combination by the blonde gets the referee's attention. Mudd clinches. Bebe shoves her off and lands a SOLID right hand at the bell. No doubt about it in the first. Rexha and wide to pull into the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Rexha back to work, backing up Mudd with hard shot. Sophie doesn't look like having the legs all the way back at the moment. She's giving ground, keeping the guard high, playing defense. Bebe a good combination and Sophie responds with a sharp right hand!"
Tess: "Getting the legs under her now."
O'Dell: "Looks that way. Mudd holding canvas, banging back. Rexha continuing to work aggressively, trying to back up the younger woman, but not having any success now as the fighters trade BOMBS in the middle of the ring. GOOD right by Bebe and a BETTER one by Sophie sends sweat flying!"
Cassie: "Crowd getting into this now!"
O'Dell: "Is, indeed, as the ladies are letting the hands go, landing some REALLY big shot. Both blonde and brunette shipping the shell and staying afloat. BIG exchange there and ANOTHER that sees both heads snap back and there's the bell. Ref gets in between them and sends the fighters to their corners. Close. Rexha."
McCarthy: "And, Bebe now up 20-18."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Third underway with the ladies simply meeting in the middle of the ring and getting after it once again. Not sure if this was the fight plan for either fighter or both, but, it's become clear that Rexha wants to impose will here and Sophie is not having any, at least to this point..."
Cassie: "Mudd's not going to spend this fight backing up. Not with Neve in her corner."
O'Dell: "SHARP exchange there. And, we've had more of those in two-plus rounds in this one that you get in some ten round fights. Rexha going body, and Sophie responds in kind before both fighters go back upstairs to land more hard shot. No doubt these ladies have sturdy legs, Mac..."
McCarthy: "They've both shown they can take punches, that's for sure."
O'Dell: "Coming down the stretch. Twenty seconds to go in a competitive third round. ANOTHER sharp trade of punches that sends heads snapping back and sweat flying, but both fighters able to take the blows and bang right back, which they'll do to the bell. There it is and it's close again, but, this time, Mudd gets the points."
Tess: "And cuts Rexha's lead to 29-28."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "Fourth begins the way all the previous rounds have, with the ladies exchanging in the middle of the ring. Neither blonde nor brunette willing to take a step back UNTIL MUDD DROPS REXHA! Oh, what a short right hook from Sophie Mudd and DOWN GOES BEBE!"
Tess: "That was a short, sharp SHOT..."
O'Dell: "Sophie quickly to a neutral corner. Bebe down on her right side. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Rexha pushing up to a sitting position at six. Seven. Eight. And the blonde beats the count, getting to her feet at nine. Referee going to give her the mandatory and WAIVE ON SOPHIE..."
Cassie: "And, Mudd all OVER Bebe..."
O'Dell: "No doubt about that. Brunette winging away with both hands, driving the blonde back into the ropes. Bebe forms the tight earmuff, puts the body on sale. Sophie? Not buying. She's head hunting in a BIG way looking to finish this thing, but she's running out of time. Five seconds left. Good right hand, Sophie, but there's the bell. Mudd, 10-8."
McCarthy: "And, Sophie leads 38-37...but she didn't finish, and that might cost her."
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "Into the fifth and Mudd pressuring Rexha, backing up the blonde with heavy fire. Bebe countering in spots, trying to slow down the younger brunette, but Sophie having her way UNTIL BEBE DROPS HER! A right-hand counter from Rexha and DOWN GOES SOPHIE!"
Cassie: "Crowd is going NUTS..."
O'Dell: "Rexha now to a neutral corner. Mudd down on her back. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Six. Sophie sits up at Seven. Eight. And Mudd to her feet at nine. Referee now giving the brunette the mandatory and WAIVING ON BEBE...and Rexha has wreckin' on her MIND..."
McCarthy: "Now's the time to finish this Dancing Hooker!"
O'Dell: "And, that's Rexha's plan. She's firing away, backing up Mudd. Sophie giving ground, keeping the guard high. Tying up now. Bebe shoving off, landing a nice combination. Fifteen seconds to go. GOOD right by Rexha there got the ref's attention. Ten seconds. Sophie backed to the ropes. Bebe trying to finish, but it's not going to happen. There's the bell. 10-8, Rexha."
Tess: "And, Bebe goes back on top 47-46."
ROUND SIX:
O'Dell: "Bebe on the attack. She's looking to back up Sophie with heavy shot but Mudd holding ground and firing back and HERE WE GO AGAIN! Sturdy bantams trading BOMBS in there, GOOD right by Mudd and that got Bebe's attention, but Rexha fires right back with one of her own!"
Tess: "We've seen more power shots land in this fight than on some whole cards..."
O'Dell: "Rexha going body now, but, again, Mudd not buying. She's continuing the assault upstairs, scoring with both hands, but, again, the blonde is shipping plenty of heavy shell and staying afloat and firing back in kind. GOOD right hook from Bebe, but Sophie returns fire and forces Rexha to cover up!"
Cassie: "No lack of action in this one..."
O'Dell: "That's for sure. Coming down the stretch. Fifteen seconds to go in the round and neither fighter slowing. SHARP exchange there sends sweat flying yet again. Sophie might have gotten the better of that one and there's the bell. Ref between the fighters quickly. Close. Mudd."
McCarthy: "and, we're even at 56."
ROUND SEVEN:
O'Dell: "Ladies back at it, trading in the middle of the ring. They've stayed at gunnery range and middle distances for the most part, not much phone booth stuff, but plenty of slugging as blonde and brunette continue attempting to impose will. GOOD exchange there, and Bebe got the better of that one..."
Cassie: "I'm impressed with Rexha. And, I've been impressed with her before. If she gets regular work, she's going to be tough to deal with."
O'Dell: "Bebe going back to the body, working the flanks with some hooks. Sophie responds with a sharp right hand that backs the blonde up a step. Rexha right back forward, lands a good right hand and MUDD DROPS HER! Right hook from Sophie and DOWN GOES BEBE!"
Tess: "And, that might do it. Caught her pretty clean."
O'Dell: "Sophie to a neutral corner. Bebe down on her right side. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Rexha rolling to her belly. Pushing up to hands and knees at six. Seven. And BEBE SLUMPS BACK TO THE CANVAS! Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! And your winner by KO7 is 'Sultry' Sophie Mudd!"
McCarthy: "Lucky punch!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Sophie Mudd, and, Sophie, quite the battle in there..."
Sophie (nodding): "Yeah. She's physical, so I knew this was where we were going. Key was, I wasn't backing away from her. Stood my ground and took the fight to her, and you saw the result."
Tess: "Really competitive in the bantamweight division at Front Street..."
Sophie (smiling): "Sure is, and I love it. Because, I've got as much talent as any girl on the roster. And, I'm just going to keep proving it."
"It's ridiculous that I've only had five FCBA fights," says Bebe shaking her head. "I've given girls problems every time out. And, I guess that's why nobody's calling."
"Actually, I agree with Bebe," says Sophie with a smile. "She can beat a lot of girls in the FCBA. But, she's in with the WRONG girl tonight."
