BEFORE:
"I was wondering when I'd get the call," says Bella with a smile. "A few months back, this girl got lucky against Gigi, and now she thinks she's going to go one-two on the Hadid sisters. But, she's about to get a rude awakening..."
"Someone's going to get an awakening tonight," says a hard-eyed Kennedy. "And, it's going to be Bella when they bring her around on the canvas..."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside, and that's 'Let Me Hit It' by Etta Bond, and here comes the lovely Bella Hadid..."
McCarthy: "And, she HAS a few FCBA wins. Which is an UPSET around HERE..."
O'Dell: "Hadid all business, right down the aisle and into the ring. She's helped off with the robe and the crowd clearly liking how she looks in that chrome yellow number..."
Tess: "Definitely been working hard getting ready for this one..."
Oh, the shark, babe
Has such teeth, dear...
McCarthy: "Siri, call my ATTORNEY! I'll SUE! I'll SUE!"
Cassie: "For the MILLIONTH TIME, Front Street OWNS THE RIGHTS TO THE SONG!"
McCarthy: "It's MY song and SKID ROW STOLE it and I. WILL. SUE!"
O'Dell (sighing): "The song, of course, is 'Mack The Knife' by Bobby Darin, and that can only mean that Kennedy..."
McCarthy: "DON'T YOU DARE!"
O'Dell: "'Mac The Knife' McMann is on her way to the ring..."
McCarthy: "Al Toon, Brute?"
O'Dell: "Kennedy down the aisle and into the ring. She's helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve and the crowd showing appreciation for McMann in that lavender number she likes..."
McCarthy: "SUPER LOW STANDARDS! She's not fit to carry my bikini top!"
O'Dell: "Aaaannnddd, the ladies are about ready. Time for some picks. Tess likes Kennedy. Mac?"
McCarthy: "She's a FRAUD! Hadid!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess..."
O'Dell: "And, we're underway. Hadid quickly making with that jab, and she's dropping rights in behind it. Reach about even here, but the brunette's using her length more effectively in the early going, snapping that jab repeatedly into Kennedy's face and not letting the redhead get going..."
McCarthy: "Keep peppering that FRAUD!"
O'Dell: "That seems to be the game plan, but it's not ALL jabs here. Bella plenty aggressive off those left hands, following on with rights, putting together combinations. McMann slipping some and blocking others, but the brunette scoring well in this opening stanza and putting the redhead on her heels."
Tess: "Got to like what you're seeing from Bella..."
O'Dell: "No doubt about it. We've got about fifteen seconds to go in the first, and Hadid established control early and has kept it throughout. Kennedy can't get it out of neutral right now, and she's not going to be able to before the bell rings. There it is, and it's Bella wide in the first."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Hadid back to work but McMann adjusting now. She's moving laterally, working away from that left, stepping to and getting off in combination. Redhead hooking some body, going back to the head, backing up the brunette. Bella jabbing for space now, but not getting any..."
Cassie: "Kennedy wants to get physical..."
O'Dell: "That she does and she's a BIG lightweight with plenty of power. She's bringing it to bear on Hadid, who's finding herself backed up again and again in this stanza. McMann a SOLID right hand there. She's got Bella ALL out of sorts all of a sudden and she's taking full advantage of it."
McCarthy: "Kid just needs to relax. This FRAUD is a one-trick pony."
O'Dell: "Down the stretch in the second. McMann another solid combination. Hadid not hurt, but forced backward, then forced back again as Kennedy steps in and lands a solid right hand. Five seconds to go. Bella jabbing and there's the bell. No doubt for the second round in a row. McMann. Wide."
Tess: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Bella doing more movement of her own now. She's not trying to replay the last stanza, when McMann was able to bring that power to bear. Kennedy, meanwhile, still working her own feet, getting past Hadid's jab and getting off. But, Bella keeping those exchanges short."
McCarthy: "Nice adjustment by this kid. Keep working. The FRAUD will make a mistake."
O'Dell: "Good two-way stuff right now, with both fighters getting to spots and getting off. Nobody able to grab control of this thing at the moment, but that doesn't mean some solid leather isn't landing. THERE'S a good right from Bella and McMann responds with a flurry of her own."
Tess: "Hadid showing some slickness here."
O'Dell: "Sure is. We're down to twenty seconds to go in a quickly-paced round. Nobody slowing down a bit. The war of movement continuing. Sharp exchange and then another. Nobody really got the better of either of those, and there's the bell. Close. Bella's getting the points, though."
Cassie: "And, Hadid back in the lead 29-28."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "Ladies on the move as we start the fourth. Kennedy upping the aggression just a bit, but Bella managing it well, giving a little ground here and there, working that long left jab, getting off in combination at least as often as her redheaded rival and landing a nice right hand there!"
Cassie: "This is some very good boxing."
O'Dell: "Absolutely is. Another sharp exchange and Bella landed a good right hand in there. Hadid jabbing, moving those feet and EATING A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND FROM KENNEDY and DOWN GOES THE BRUNETTE! McMann dropped that right behind the jab and Hadid is DOWN!"
McCarthy: "NO! Get up! Get UP! Get UP!"
O'Dell: "Kennedy to a neutral corner. Bella down on her back and not moving at all. She got caught pretty flush with that. Count at three. Four. Five. This is going to be academic. Six. Seven. Eight. Hadid still not moving. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! That quickly, it's OVER! And your winner by KO4 is Kennedy 'Mac The Knife' McMann'!"
Tess: "What a right hand!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Kennedy McMann, and, Kennedy, you really dropped the hammer on her..."
Kennedy (smiling): "Yeah. I caught her with one. When I landed it, I knew she wasn't getting up. But, give her credit. She fought well in there. Just got caught by a better fighter."
Tess: "Got to be nice to get a win under the belt with the reorg looming..."
Kennedy: "Always nice to get a win. But, I'm not worried about the rest of it. I'll be here in January. Count on it."
"I was wondering when I'd get the call," says Bella with a smile. "A few months back, this girl got lucky against Gigi, and now she thinks she's going to go one-two on the Hadid sisters. But, she's about to get a rude awakening..."
