BEFORE:
"This girl is, no question, a star in the making," says Erica. "A champ before she was 25? I didn't even make my DEBUT until I was 26. But, I've been around awhile. I've got an edge in experience and I know how to use it. As Taylor will find out."
"She was as good as it got for a long time," Taylor says with a smile. "But. Right now? I'M as good as it gets, as ERICA is about to find out."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back and ringside and that's 'Revenge' by Pink, and here comes one of Pinkness' biggest fans, a former multiple-time lightweight champion, Erica Durance!"
Tess: "And, Durance WAS as good as it got at one time, but it's been a LONG time since she's gotten an FCBA win..."
McCarthy: "Nothin' but numbers. She'll beat the toothpick and you heard it here FIRST!"
O'Dell: "Erica into the ring and helped off with the robe and the crowd clearly impressed by Durance in that crimson bikini, and, why not? That body looks 23, not 43..."
McCarthy: "Like I SAID..."
O'Dell: "And, that's 'Natural' by Imagine Dragons blasting through the arena, and here comes 'The Face', Taylor Hill..."
McCarthy: "Her face is as overrated as SHE is! Talentless TOOTHPICK..."
Cassie: "Tell us what you REALLY think, Mac..."
McCarthy: "SHUT UP, SCABBO!"
O'Dell: "Hill with not even a GLANCE for Mac as she goes past the table and climbs into the ring to be helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. Crowd popping for Taylor in that azure number she likes..."
McCarthy: "Skinny TOOTHPICK..."
O'Dell: "Aaaannnndddd, we're about ready for some picks. Tess likes Taylor. Mac?"
McCarthy: "You HEARD me. Durance!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "Here we go and Durance wasting no time pressuring Hill. Erica may no longer be in her prime, but she's still plenty athletic and she's slipping past that jab, getting inside, and banging to the body, muscling around with Hill in there, and Taylor not exactly enjoying these terms..."
McCarthy: "Like I said, TOOTHPICK!"
O'Dell: "Durance banging body, upstairs, then right back down. Hill ties up, forces a break, gets some space, but Erica right back forward to crowd her again. Durance knocking Taylor off balance again and again, really getting some serious work done in close at the moment..."
Cassie: "Going all Neve Campbell on Taylor. Fortunately, Taylor HAS Neve Campbell in her corner..."
Tess: "Nobody I'd want in my corner more..."
McCarthy: "Because you're an IDIOT, Walmart!"
O'Dell: "Final twenty seconds of what's been a great first round for Durance. GOOD right from Erica there forces Taylor back a step. Durance going back to the body now. Hill ties up again, but Durance levers her, lands a couple of good shots to the breadbasket, and there's the bell. No doubt. Erica wide in the first."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Second underway and after a talking to from Neve Campbell, Hill's doubling and tripling that jab, moving the feet, working hard to keep Erica off...and it's working, at least for the moment. Now Durance having all kinds of problems getting inside, and Hill's the one getting the work done..."
Cassie: "Taylor getting punches put together now..."
O'Dell: "Sure is, and Durance is getting thrown to the defensive repeatedly. Younger brunette has it working on all cylinders, tossing off combination after combination, touching up, Durance, piling up points. Erica game, trying to get inside and get physical, but it's not happening..."
McCarthy: "She'll be fine. Just needs to get the feet moving more."
O'Dell: "Down the stretch in the second, and it's been just as one-sided as the first, only, this time, in favor of Taylor Hill. Younger brunette with a SHARP combination there, stopped Durance in her tracks, forced her to cover up. Five seconds. Good right from Taylor and there's the bell. Hill. Wide."
Tess: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Into the third now, and Hill using that length very, very well. She's keeping Erica off, frustrating Durance's attempts to get inside and get physical. Older brunette getting touched up quite at bit at the moment, as Taylor continues to enforce terms to her own liking..."
Tess: "Durance getting a thumping at the moment."
O'Dell: "Definitely is. Hill just HUMMING along right now, having everything her own way. Good combination, Taylor, backs up Durance. Canadian backed up again by a sharp combination and THERE'S A RIGHT HAND AND DOWN GOES DURANCE! Oh, what an overhand right!"
McCarthy: "GET UP! GET UP! YOU OVERRATED BUM, GET UP!"
O'Dell: "Taylor to a neutral corner. Erica down on her right side. Ref's count at three, four, five. Durance rolls to her back at six, drapes an arm over her eyes at seven. Eight. Not going to happen. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! That quickly, it's OVER and your winner by KO3 is 'The Face' Taylor Hill!"
Cassie: "And, there was nothing lucky about it."
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Taylor Hill, and, Taylor, not a good start..."
Taylor (nodding): "She's a veteran and she's very good and very smart. She knew she wasn't boxing with me, so she wanted to get in and slug and she can certainly HIT. But. I can hit, too, as you might have noticed."
Tess: "What's next for you?"
Taylor: "I know who I'd LIKE to fight, but, I don't want to be charged with ELDER ABUSE, so she's probably safe."
"This girl is, no question, a star in the making," says Erica. "A champ before she was 25? I didn't even make my DEBUT until I was 26. But, I've been around awhile. I've got an edge in experience and I know how to use it. As Taylor will find out."
