BEFORE:
"I've been wondering," says Love with a smile, "When Winter was going to step up to me JMD. Well. Tonight's the night. And, I can't wait!"
"Love's iconic in JMD, no doubt about that," says Ariel with a nod. "But, tonight, she's going to find out she's not the better woman."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Heart of Glass', of course, but it's not the Blondie version, it's the cover by the woman coming to the ring right now, flyweight, bantamweight and three time JMD champion Jennifer Love Hewitt!"
McCarthy: "And, Love's going to make Weirdo consider dropping JMD, just like he dropped welter and is in the process of dropping flyweight..."
Cassie: "We're BACK at welter and we'll BE back at flyweight..."
McCarthy: "So you can FAIL some more!"
O'Dell: "Let's keep an eye on the ring, where Love climbs in and is helped off with the robe to reveal a scarlet number that gets the crowd to popping. And, that's 'I Knew You Were Trouble' pounding through the arena, but, like the version of 'Heart of Glass' we just heard, this is a cover version by the young lady coming to the ring right now, Ariel 'Dangerous Curves' Winter!"
Tess: "Winter frustrated in her attempts to get a shot at the flyweight gold appears to be going all in on JMD right now."
O'Dell: "Ariel into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve to reveal that curve-hugging white number we've seen before. And, the ladies are about ready. Time for some picks. Tess likes Ariel. Mac?"
McCarthy: "Hewitt's a champion. This girl is a PRETENDER. Love!"
O'Dell: "Cassie?"
Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"
O'Dell: "Panel split again. Let's see who's right. Ladies going to just meet in the center and go at it, and they are throwing some heavy leather and working some serious body right now! You can HEAR the WHACK of leather meeting flesh as the brunettes begin some serious tenderizing..."
Tess: "And, Love plenty slick in there..."
O'Dell: "Is, indeed. Hewitt playing some very good defense, especially for a JMD fight, catching a lot of Ariel's offense on the arms or gloves, countering nicely, punishing the younger woman to both head and body. Winter a bit too aggressive right now, and it's costing her..."
McCarthy: "Slick veteran beats Dancing Hooker EVERY time."
O'Dell: "Well, the veteran's getting the better of things for the moment, anyway. Love giving much more than she's getting in there. Winter active, but too little of what she's doing is actually landing. Instead, it's Hewitt who's getting work done right to the bell. It's going to be Love and wide in the first."
Cassie: "And, Hewitt takes the 10-9 lead."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Hewitt in control as we start the second, she's backing up Winter, punishing her to both head and body. Ariel on the defensive, backing and covering as the more-experienced fighter takes her to the woodshed in a major way at the moment. GOOD right by Hewitt snaps back Ariel's head..."
Cassie: "Ariel's got to get into this fight. Love's making her VERY uncomfortable right now."
O'Dell: "No doubt about it. Hewitt getting everything the way she wants it right now. She's suppressing Winter's offense, forcing her onto the back foot again and again. Ariel not getting anything done at all at the moment as Love continues to give her a thumping."
McCarthy: "This kid is no JMD fighter. And, what's worse, she's ALREADY washed out at flyweight. Love's greasing the skids for her!"
O'Dell: "We're down under 20 seconds remaining in the second, and it's been all Hewitt all the time. GOOD combination from Love and she follows by hooking some rack. Winter tying up now, trying to slow some of this down. Ref breaks them and there's the bell. Shutout, Hewitt."
Tess: "And, Love's up 20-18."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "Into the third and THERE'S A FIREFIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! Brunettes letting the hands go in a BIG way right now, and both are landing some serious BOMBS to both head and body. Winter holding her ground, giving as good as she gets for the first time tonight..."
Tess: "After Neve MELTED HER EARS for a full minute between rounds..."
O'Dell: "And, those words had an effect, because Winter's getting work done for the first time all night, mostly downstairs as she hooks ribs and tummy, bangs a little jug, going to the head just enough to keep Love honest. Hewitt, meanwhile, continuing to score well."
Cassie: "Everybody dealing out punishment right now..."
O'Dell: "And, for the first time in the bout, not a lot in it. NICE right hand from Hewitt backs Winter up a step, but Ariel steps right back to and hammers those ribs with a pair of hooks. Ladies tie up and the ref will break them at the bell. Nobody getting the points in that one, Mac. Even, I think."
McCarthy: "Agreed, and Love still leads by two, 30-28."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "Ladies right back in one another's grills to start the fourth, and nobody taking a backward step here. More digging of body and hooking rack going on as this thing has settled into the phone booth and doesn't look like moving to a bigger space any time soon..."
Cassie: "Working for both fighters, so, why change?"
O'Dell: "That seems to be the working theory at the moment from both sides of the ring and THERE'S A RIGHT HOOK FROM WINTER AND LOVE IS HURT! Hewitt all wobbly butt as Ariel makes with the the big guns, driving Love backward and pinning her to the ropes..."
McCarthy: "Watch the low blows in there! Winter's a CHEATER like almost all of Weirdo's Hookers!"
O'Dell: "Ariel working body, hooking rack, ROCKING Love with a right uppercut to the chin. Ref looking in closely as Hewitt clinches, playing for time here. Winter shoves her off, hup-hup now as she hooks the jugs! Love tying up again, hanging on as the final seconds tick away and there's the bell. Winter. Wide."
Tess: "But, Hewitt still has the lead 39-38."
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "Winter determined to finish this thing now. She charges across the ring and begins letting Love have it! Hewitt still wobbly, and Ariel's taking full advantage of that, pummeling the older woman, driving her backward and DROPPING HER WITH A RIGHT HOOK!"
Tess: "NASTY shot!"
O'Dell: "Hewitt down on her right side as Winter heads to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. Love to hands and knees at six. Seven. Eight. Hewitt to her feet at nine. Ref going to give her the mandatory and wave on Ariel! Winter a buzz saw now, winging away with both hands..."
Cassie: "Determined to finish this thing, and she's close!"
O'Dell: "Hewitt backed to the ropes again. Winter working body, hooking those jugs. Love crouching, tightening the elbows, trying to hang on. LEFT UPPIE and Hewitt's legs shimmy! Winter now PUMMELING that rack and IT'S OVER! Ref steps in and bundles Hewitt to safety and it's OVER! And your winner by TKO5 is Ariel 'Dangerous Curves' Winter!"
McCarthy: "HOMETOWN REF! HOMETOWN REF!"
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I have our winner, Ariel Winter, and Ariel, rough start tonight..."
Ariel (nodding): "Yeah. She's a veteran and she's slick and she took me right out of what I wanted to do. My fault. Got a little too keyed up and then she got me on the back foot. But, Neve has a way of sharpening your focus..."
Tess (laughing): "Yes, she does. So, a big JMD win. I'm guessing we're going to see more of you at JMD?"
Ariel (nodding): "Yes, you will. You absolutely will."
"I've been wondering," says Love with a smile, "When Winter was going to step up to me JMD. Well. Tonight's the night. And, I can't wait!"
"Love's iconic in JMD, no doubt about that," says Ariel with a nod. "But, tonight, she's going to find out she's not the better woman."
