BEFORE:
"Look," says Candice with a smile. "Take nothing away from her. She's as good as it gets at FLYWEIGHT. But. I'm a BANTAM. And, that will make ALL the difference."
"She's a handful, no doubt," says a hard-eyed Kristen. "But, I'm better, and I'll prove it."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'All Right Now' by Free, and here comes the lovely Candice Patton!"
McCarthy: "And, I'll say the same thing I did the last time she came here. This girl can FIGHT..."
Cassie: "No doubt about it. None."
O'Dell: "Patton wasting little time getting into the ring. She's helped off with the robe to reveal that orange number we've seen before. And, that's 'Helter Skelter' by the Beatles you hear behind us, and that can only mean that 'The Five-Tool Player', Kristen Stewart is on her way to the ring!"
McCarthy: "FINALLY! A REAL fighter!"
Tess: "Third time in the last five fights that Stewart's fought a bantam...and the second one in a row..."
O'Dell: "Stewart tapping glove to fist with Mac on the way to the ring. Climbs in and is helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve to reveal that lime green number she likes. Ladies about ready. Time for some picks. Tess likes Kristen. Mac?"
McCarthy: "Patton's no pushover, but Stewart's a real fighter! K-Stew!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "And, we're underway. Kristen right to the jab, and that long, accurate left quickly becoming a factor. Stewart getting it in her rival's face, keeping her at bay with it, following on with solid right hands. This is one of the things that makes dealing with K-Stew so difficult...she is SUPER accurate..."
McCarthy: "Only REAL fighter in this stable."
O'Dell: "Patton wants to get physical here, but the flyweight is actually taller than the bantam and has more reach, and Stewart's using that perfectly to keep the older woman at bay. Candice can't get to where she wants to be, because Kristen is controlling things with that left."
Tess: "Patton landing here and there, but she can't get anything going..."
O'Dell: "She can NOT. Instead, K-Stew's in command, all that precision she's known for showing up here in a big way. And, if Patton can't figure out a way to deal with it, it's going to be a long night for Candice...or a short one. Final seconds tick away in the first and there's the bell. Stewart. Wide."
Cassie: "And, K-Stew takes the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Second begins with Patton damning any and all torpedoes! Candice boring forward, willing to take some punches to give some. She's getting in Stewart's face, working aggressively inside, body, head, body, forcing the Front Streeter to cover up. Kristen giving some ground now..."
Tess: "Not a bad strategy for Patton..."
Cassie: "No, because she is NOT going to outbox K-Stew. Period."
O'Dell: "Stewart banging back in spots, but mostly backing and covering here, as Patton gets off lusty, hooking body and head, forcing the issue, staying in the phone booth as much as possible. GOOD right from Candice right there, and Kristen backs up another step..."
McCarthy: "K-Stew just managing here. She's fine."
O'Dell: "Might be, but Patton is getting much the better of things right now. She's the one fighting lead, while Stewart's reduced to the counter. SHARP exchange there and we're down under ten seconds. GOOD right from Patton, who digs a bit more body to the bell. Not close. Candice."
Tess: "And, Patton's evened things at 19."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Patton pressing forward, looking to get in there and bang. Stewart moving the feet, working the jab, using a drop step, working to get space to get off. Good combination for Kristen there. Candice slips inside, works some body, but Stewart ducks away, gets back to range."
McCarthy: "I wonder when fighters are going to stop this 'get physical with K-Stew' stuff. It never WORKS."
O'Dell: "Patton trying to make it work. Ducking past the jab, getting into the younger woman's grill, working some body and EATING A RIGHT UPPERCUT! Patton stumbling backward and DROPPED BY A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND FROM STEWART! Two NASTY punches from K-Stew and Candice is flat on her back!"
Tess: "Don't think she's getting up from that..."
O'Dell: "Stewart to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. Candice rolling to her belly at six. Seven. Eight. Not going to happen. Nine. TEN! Patton face down on the canvas as the count passes her by and it's OVER and your winner by KO3 is 'The Five-Tool Player', Kristen Stewart!"
Cassie: "Like Mac said, it never works."
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Cassie Scerbo!"
Cassie: "I have our winner, Kristen Stewart, and, K-Stew, she came after you..."
Kristen (nodding): "Not surprised. She had to figure she had the power advantage. And, she CAN hit just about as well as anybody I've been in with. But, you aren't going to step to me like that without paying a price. And, she paid it."
Cassie (smiling): "You liking it up here at bantam? Thinking about staying?"
Kristen (laughing): "Oh, I'm sure you know ALL about what the plans are. And, I'm definitely down with those."
"Look," says Candice with a smile. "Take nothing away from her. She's as good as it gets at FLYWEIGHT. But. I'm a BANTAM. And, that will make ALL the difference."
"She's a handful, no doubt," says a hard-eyed Kristen. "But, I'm better, and I'll prove it."
