BEFORE:
"Well," says Zazie with a lovely smile, "It's good to be back. Things didn't go the way I wanted last time, but I got some experience and I think I'll handle myself better this time around."
"She can fight. We saw that last time here and against de Armas," says Kat with a nod. "But, she's not getting a result tonight."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Welcome To The Party' by Diplo..."
McCarthy: "I LOVE this song..."
Cassie: "I can tell by your white-girl chair dance..."
McCarthy: "You LITTLE..."
O'Dell: "Aaannndddd here comes the lovely Zazie Beetz..."
Tess: "As Kat mentioned, Beetz was here last year on this very card and lost to Chloe Bennet in six. No disrespect to Kat, but, Beetz isn't in quite as tough in this one..."
O'Dell: "Zazie into the ring and helped off with the robe to reveal that black and white striped number we saw last year, and, that's 'I Don't Feel Like Dancing' by Scissor Sisters you hear behind us, and that can only mean that Kat 'The Rack' Dennings is on her way to the ring..."
McCarthy: "Talentless Campbell Clone..."
Cassie: "Who, again, BABIFIED YOU..."
McCarthy: "SHE WAS LUCKY AND I WAS ROBBED AND SHUT UP, SCABBO!"
O'Dell (sighing): "Kat into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve to reveal that curve-hugging black number we've seen before, and the ladies are about ready. Time for some picks. Tess likes Kat. Mac?"
McCarthy: "Typical Dancing Hooker Opponent. NO FCBA wins. Dennings."
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "Unanimous in the first, and Beetz on the move as we get started. No surprise here. Zazie very athletic, as she showed the last time she was here, and the fight plan has to be to use that and not stand in front of Kat and trade. And, Beetz scoring on the move at the moment..."
Cassie: "This is a girl you wonder about. She has a lot of tools. Looked good against Bennet and de Armas. Might just need work."
O'Dell: "No question she has educated feet. And, very, very quick hands. She's getting the jab out and back quickly, following on with rights when she gets the opportunity. Kat moving the feet, closing in spots and going to work, body, head, body. Zazie getting out of dodge quickly..."
Tess: "No question this is going to be all about terms."
O'Dell: "Sure looks that way. Beetz getting the better of things on the move, while Kat's scoring when the ring is cut and she can square up the younger woman. Just five seconds to go in the first, and Zazie going to leg that away. There's the bell. Competitive, but Beetz gets the points."
McCarthy: "Nice start. Maybe the kid will, for once, prove J-Mac wrong!"
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Back to work with the battle to enforce terms continuing. Beetz moving those feet, circling, jabbing, stopping to pop. Kat looking to cut, close, work body. Beetz landing some shot that's pretty sharp so far, ladies. No doubt this girl has some power along with the legs..."
McCarthy: "THIS is what makes a champ at bantam. At fly, you can win just with speed. At welter, you can win just with power. At bantam, you need speed AND power, like J-Mac and the Munnster, who'll demonstrate that later tonight!"
O'Dell: "Dennings closes, gets into the body. Zazie tying up. Kat shoving off, going back to work. Zazie slipping away to open canvas. Older brunette quickly back on her, working those ribs and that tummy. Beetz banging back in there, then slipping away again to jab and circle."
Cassie: "That's what Zazie will have to do. She's going to have to fire back in close."
O'Dell: "Down the stretch in the second. Dennings closing again. Beetz tying up quickly and slipping away. Zazie circling, jabbing, as the final seconds tick away. Nice combination by Beetz, and there's the bell. Two-way stuff again in the second, but Kat's getting the points this time."
Tess: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Beetz circling a bit wider now, bouncing, reversing, snapping out that jab. Stops, pops, gets right back on her bicycle. Zazie getting into a rhythm, scoring with both hands. Kat, meanwhile, keeps working the feet, looking to close and bang, but, for the moment, not having any success."
McCarthy: "And, THIS is what I mean about Dennings being a one-dimensional Campbell Clone!"
Cassie: "Spoiler alert. Neve is in the Hall of Fame after pounding Mac to powder over and over again and Dennings left her babified in body paint just last year!"
McCarthy: "I WAS ROBBED AND THE HALL OF FAME IS A SHAM!"
O'Dell (sighing): "Zazie working that left hand. She's getting it on target again and again and everything else is being worked off that left. She's holding Kat, setting up right hands, then getting moving before Dennings can cut the ring off. This is very, very good stuff from Beetz."
Tess: "Does get you wondering about what Cassie said...what this girl could do with consistent work."
O'Dell: "Fifteen seconds left in the third, and Zazie's been in control the whole way. Younger brunette stops, pops, lands a good combination and gets back to the jab and circle. Five seconds left, and Beetz will leg them out. No doubt about this one. Zazie and wide."
Cassie: "And Beetz goes back into the lead 29-28."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "Pattern set as we start the fourth. Beetz on the move, Kat looking to cut the ring, close, bang. Dennings getting that done a bit more than she did in the last stanza. And, she's wasting no time when she gets Zazie where she wants her, getting off to body and head in combination..."
Tess: "And, sitting down on her punches, too."
O'Dell: "No doubt about that. Beetz back on the move, jabbing, circling. Kat cuts her off, gets inside, gets to working on ribs and tummy. Zazie tying up. Kat levering with that shoulder, going right back to work and ROCKING BEETZ WITH A RIGHT UPPIE AND DOWN GOES ZAZIE AFTER A RIGHT HOOK!"
Cassie: "That might do it..."
O'Dell: "Kat to a neutral corner. Zazie down on her right side. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Beetz to haunch and elbow. Six. Seven. Zazie to all fours. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! The younger brunette can't beat the count and it's OVER! And your winner by KO4 is Kat 'The Rack' Dennings!"
McCarthy: "Lucky! She's just LUCKY!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Kat Dennings, and, Kat, she can be hard to find..."
Kat (nodding): "Sure can. Girl has a lot of tools. She can fight at this level. Just needs the work, that's all."
Tess: "What's next for you?"
Kat (smiling): "We'll see. I hear rumors I might be right back on the card here next month. So, we'll see how it goes!"
"Well," says Zazie with a lovely smile, "It's good to be back. Things didn't go the way I wanted last time, but I got some experience and I think I'll handle myself better this time around."
"She can fight. We saw that last time here and against de Armas," says Kat with a nod. "But, she's not getting a result tonight."
