BEFORE:
"I've been wondering when I was going to get an invite here," says Ashley with a gorgeous smile. "Well, now that I'm getting this opportunity, I'm NOT going to waste it!"
"No doubt, she's a challenge," says Kristen with a nod. "In fact, I think she's always been underrated. But, tonight, she's in there with the best flyweight in the FCBA, so. Yeah. Not gonna happen for her."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Honestly' by Hot Chelle Rae, and here comes the star of that video, Pretty Little Punchers' own Ashley Benson!"
Cassie: "And, I agree with K-Stew that Ashley's underrated. This girl has beaten some good fighters. Patton, Joey King, Scodelario, to name a few."
Tess: "She's been struggling a bit of late, though."
O'Dell: "Ashley into the ring and helped off with the robe, and the crowd popping for the lovely Ms. Benson in that mauve number. And, that's 'Helter Skelter' by the Beatles you hear booming through the arena, and here comes 'The Five-Tool Player', Kristen Stewart!"
McCarthy: "Finally! A REAL fighter!"
O'Dell: "Kristen tapping glove to hand with Mac as usual on the way by the table. She's climbs into the ring to be helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve, and the crowd liking K-Stew in that lime green number we've seen before. And, the ladies are about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Stewart. Mac?"
McCarthy: "A REAL fighter. K-Stew!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "And, there's the bell, and Ashley immediately looking to get physical. Benson a girl who fights some at bantam, and she's got the power for it, so she's going to try to bring that to bear, backing up K-Stew early with a SLEW of hard, accurate shot that's put the Front Streeter on the defensive..."
McCarthy: "No sense in Stewart slugging this out..."
O'Dell: "And, that's clearly what Kristen is thinking, as she gives ground, works the jab, looks to slow down the blonde's onslaught. But, Ashley's continuing to push forward, backing K-Stew up and working some body now and she ROCKS STEWART WITH A RIGHT HOOK!"
Tess: "That was a BIG shot!"
O'Dell: "It was and Kristen is in trouble and DOWN GOES STEWART after a straight right hand! Benson BOUNCING to a neutral corner after a huge knockdown in the first. Stewart flat on her back. Count at three. Four. Five. Kristen sits up at six. Seven. Eight. K-Stew to her feet at nine. Ref gives her the mandatory and waves on Benson, but there's the bell!"
Cassie: "And, none too soon. A huge 10-8 round for Ashley, but Kristen survives it."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Second begins with the blonde in control. She's stepping to a still-buzzed K-Stew and backing her up with solid shot. Benson sitting down on everything right now, looking to take the brunette out of there. Stewart playing D, willing to trade space and points for time..."
Cassie: "Give Benson credit for this fight plan. Ashley's a good boxer, but you aren't likely to out-box K-Stew..."
O'Dell: "And, that's exactly why Benson isn't trying. Instead, she's looking to bring the physical, going body again, then back upstairs. Stewart landing in counter here and there, but that's about all she's managing as the blonde controls things, continuing to score with both hands."
McCarthy: "I'm impressed with this Benson kid."
O'Dell: "Ashley's got some pretty impressive scalps, Hale, Dobrev, Scodelario, Cyrus, even our colleague here..."
Cassie: "The FIRST time. The rematch did not go as well for her..."
O'Dell: "But, with wins against girls like that, Ashley's clearly got plenty of tools, and she's deploying all of them right now, taking the fight to K-Stew. Gets her backed to the ropes now as the final seconds tick away in the second, and there's the bell. Benson. Wide."
Tess: "And, Ashley's built a big 20-17 lead."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Benson right back to work. She's been in control of this thing the entire way, and she's continuing to bring the aggression, backing up K-Stew, sitting down on punches, working body, and, in general, roughing up Kristen as much and as effectively as she can..."
McCarthy: "K-Stew will be fine. She's just got to get the terms she wants..."
O'Dell: "And, that might involve punching for respect. Because, at the moment, while Ashley is not damning ALL torpedoes, she's sure not paying much attention to them. Instead, she's pouring forward and pouring on the fire, continuing to keep the brunette on the back foot..."
Tess: "And, again, Stewart only able to counter in spots here."
O'Dell: "We've got about twenty seconds to go. Kristen a good right hand there, her best punch of the fight, but the blonde answers with another sharp combination. Ten seconds left. Stewart giving ground. Good right from Ashley and there's the bell. Wide again for Benson."
Cassie: "And, Ashley's pulling away here, 30-26."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "Pattern set. Benson working forward backing up Kristen and Stewart lands a SOLID right and then another..."
Cassie: "Here comes that 'punching for respect' bit, Jenny..."
O'Dell: "Stewart's got the legs back under her. She's moving the feet much better now, using a drop step, creating space with the legs and the jab and it's making a big difference. Ashley trying to close, but mostly being frustrated, and, when she does get past the jab, she's EATING hard right hands..."
McCarthy: "Now THIS is the K-Stew we're used to seeing..."
O'Dell: "Stewart's getting her terms now, and she's getting her hands going, landing that accurate jab, stopping Benson with it, then dropping right hands on her head..."
Tess: "Benson still working forward, though..."
O'Dell: "No doubt about it. She's determined to work this fight plan, but, right now, Stewart's managed to gain control of things, taking Ashley out of what she wants to do. Ten seconds to go. SOLID right from K-Stew and there's the bell. Stewart and wide in the fourth, but Benson still with a big lead, 39-36."
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "Fifth begins with Stewart working that left. She's popping it again and again in Benson's face, and Ashley can't seem to slip it or get past it. Result is Kristen keeping Benson at range, where she's peppering her with quick, hard, accurate fire. This thing has turned around in a big way, Mac..."
McCarthy: "Like I said, K-Stew was going to be fine. Just needed to get better terms."
O'Dell: "She has what she wants now, and it's Ashley who's trying to renegotiate, get back to bringing the physical, to backing the brunette up. But, she can't get it done, at least for the moment, and, once again, when Ashley DOES close, she's taking hard shot."
Cassie: "Good point, Jenny. Benson's scoring when she gets inside, but she's no longer getting the better of those exchanges."
O'Dell: "We're down under thirty seconds to go. SHARP exchange right there as both fighters landed a good right hand. Stewart drop steps, back to the left, banging it in Benson's face. Blonde covers up as Stewart lands a hard flurry and there's the bell. Wide again. Kristen."
Tess: "And, Stewart's cut Ashley's lead to 48-46 at the half."
ROUND SIX:
O'Dell: "Into the sixth and Benson turning up the heat, coming forward and EATING A RIGHT HAND FROM KRISTEN! Ashley's steppin' in fence post holes and now it's K-Stew turning up the heat, letting the hands go, driving Benson backward, and she's got the blonde in DEEP trouble..."
Tess: "And, considering she's still down a pair, she really wants to finish here..."
O'Dell: "No doubt about it. And, as usual, Kristen's clinical in the attempt. She's not getting sloppy at all. She's getting the left on, setting up those right hands. She's committing on everything, though, clearly looking to find the 'off' button and DOWN GOES BENSON! A SCINTILLATING right from Stewart and Ashley's dropped to her back!"
McCarthy: "That's going to do it!"
O'Dell: "Stewart to a neutral corner. Benson down with her head just inside the ropes. Count at three. Four. Five. Ashley rolling to her belly at six. Seven. She pushes to hands and knees at eight. Grabs the middle rope. Nine. Trying to stand. TEN! It's OVER! Benson can't beat the count and it's OVER! And your winner by KO6 is 'The Five-Tool Player' Kristen Stewart!"
Cassie: "Quite the comeback for K-Stew!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Cassie Scerbo!"
Cassie: "I have our winner, Kristen Stewart, and, K-Stew, that was not easy..."
Kristen (shaking her head): "It was never GOING to be easy. Ashley's a good fighter and she came in with a good fight plan. She caught me with some really good ones, especially early. But, I shipped them, and came back and got her."
Cassie: "And stayed right in the thick of the title picture..."
Kristen (nodding): "No doubt that's what's on my mind. I want those belts back."
"I've been wondering when I was going to get an invite here," says Ashley with a gorgeous smile. "Well, now that I'm getting this opportunity, I'm NOT going to waste it!"
"No doubt, she's a challenge," says Kristen with a nod. "In fact, I think she's always been underrated. But, tonight, she's in there with the best flyweight in the FCBA, so. Yeah. Not gonna happen for her."
