BEFORE:
"I'm sick of it," says a hard-eyed Sara, "Sick of people saying I'm over my head in the FCBA. Well. I'm NOT. And, I'll prove it by knocking out Rodrigo tonight!"
"One of us is getting knocked out tonight," says Olivia. "And, the OTHER one is ME."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Let's Go Dancing' by Tiga, and here comes the lovely Victoria's Secret Angel, Sara Sampaio!"
McCarthy: "ONE FCBA win. ONE. In TWELVE fights. I had, like, fifteen wins after twelve fights!"
Cassie: "Math. It's not just for breakfast anymore..."
McCarthy: "What ARE you babbling about, Scabbo?"
O'Dell (sighing): "Sara climbing into the ring to be helped off with the robe. And, the crowd LOVING the Portuguese beauty in that marigold number she likes. And, that's 'Good 4 U' booming through the arena, and that can only mean that 'The Murrieta Mauler', Olivia Rodrigo, is coming to the ring."
Tess: "Rodrigo a girl who started turning heads before even joining Front Street, going 4-0 last year, including a HUGE win over Avril Lavigne."
O'Dell: "Olivia into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve to reveal that Persian blue number we've seen before. Ladies look to be ready. Time for some picks. Tess likes Olivia. Mac?"
McCarthy: "One. And. Eleven. Rodrigo!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "And, we're underway. Both ladies getting their box on. No surprise, as the two brunettes are athletic and like to stick and move. Both on their toes at the moment, and Sara getting that jab on, landing a nice combination there, forcing Olivia to cover up. Sampaio very aggressive early..."
Tess: "The last time she was here, she was in against Del Toro, a bigger girl and bigger hitter. Not showing as much caution this time."
O'Dell: "Is not. Nothing sloppy, mind, but plenty of effective aggression from the Portuguese beauty. For Olivia's part, the singer not able to get much going right now. She's landing, but it's mostly one-punch stuff. It's Sara who's putting punches together and piling up points."
Cassie: "Olivia just not getting off right now. Spending too much time waiting her turn."
O'Dell: "And, that's due to the constant suppressive fire from Sara, who's really got it going. We've seen some of this from Sampaio before. She's definitely got some tools, though she hasn't yet put it all together. Final seconds tick away in the first and there's the bell. Sampaio. Wide."
McCarthy: "And, Sara takes the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Olivia getting more active now, seeming to settle in. She's getting off more, not getting pre-empted, and the result is good, two-way stuff early in this round, as both rangy brunettes are putting punches together, landing solid shot, even as both are moving well and playing good defense."
Cassie: "Stuff for the purists to love right here, Jenny..."
O'Dell: "Definitely is. A lot of skill and technique being shown as the ladies work the feet and the angles, set up punches, get to spots. Both brunettes scoring in combination now, and there's not a ton in it at the moment. There's a SHARP exchange and both girls landed a SOLID right hand..."
McCarthy: "A failed bantam/light and an overrated Dancing Hooker. Let's not go overboard with the praise..."
O'Dell: "Down the stretch we come in a very competitive second round. Another nice exchange there and another! Ladies very aggressive in the final seconds with the round most likely in the balance. GOOD right from Rodrigo and there's the bell. Close. But Olivia's on the board."
Tess: "And, we're even at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Third opens the way the second closed, with both brunettes active, moving, jabbing, hitting quick flurries. Lots of movement right now, as you'd expect. And, not just the feet. Head and hands, too, as we're seeing excellent boxing from both bantams at the moment..."
McCarthy: "'Excellent' might be a stretch. Munn or J-Mac would have had BOTH of these tomato cans out of there by now..."
O'Dell: "NICE right from Sara, as the model tosses off a nice flurry and Olivia responds with one of her own that backs the Portuguese beauty up a step and THERE'S A RIGHT FROM RODRIGO and Sara's wobbly butt! Olivia stepping to and SHE DROPS SAMPAIO WITH A RIGHT HOOK!"
Tess: "That might do it..."
O'Dell: "Olivia to a neutral corner. Sara down on her right side parallel to the ropes. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Sampaio pushing up to elbow and hip at six. Seven. Gets to hands and knees. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! Sampaio unable to get off all fours and it's OVER! And your winner by KO3 is 'The Murrieta Mauler', Olivia Rodrigo!"
Cassie: "Sky's the limit for this girl. Sky's the limit."
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Olivia Rodrigo, and, Olivia, another impressive win for you..."
Olivia (smiling): "She's not easy to deal with. Lot of range and power for a bantam. She's fought plenty at light. But, I know what I bring to the ring. I knew I'd get her. I GOT her."
Tess: "What's next for you?"
Olivia (shrugging): "Just looking to work hard and work my way up the rankings. Whatever's next, I'll be ready for it."
"I'm sick of it," says a hard-eyed Sara, "Sick of people saying I'm over my head in the FCBA. Well. I'm NOT. And, I'll prove it by knocking out Rodrigo tonight!"
