BEFORE:

"I'm excited to be making my debut," says Alice with a gorgeous smile. "And, to get a chance to do it against a former champion is doubly special. But. I'm not happy just to be here. I intend to win!"

"She may be making her big league debut tonight," says Katy with a nod. "But, there's plenty of tape on this girl. She's been around awhile. And she's done plenty of fighting. She's no pushover. But, that doesn't mean she can't be KNOCKED over."

ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Dangerous Woman' by Ariana Grande, and, on her way to the ring is the stunning British glamour model Alice Goodwin..."

Cassie: "Who, of course, represents one of the FCBA's newest stables, This Is Glamour, which is making its Asylum debut tonight."

Tess: "This Is Glamour was formed just over four months ago, in December, 2015, and does include some veteran fighters like Lucy Pinder and Kelly Brook, and the lady we'll see later tonight, Keeley Hazell."

O'Dell: "Goodwin into the ring and helped off with the robe by the TIG corner crew to reveal a, um revealing black number..."

McCarthy: "Now SHE might make 'Playboy'..."

O'Dell: "She's a G cup. I'm guessing she just might. And, that's 'California Gurls' you hear, and that means that the lovely singer of that song, 'The Santa Barbara Slugger', Katy Perry is on her way to the ring..."

Cassie: "Perry not exactly lacking in the cups, either."

Tess: "Nor is she lacking in power. 18 of her 24 career wins are by KO, and she's had some pretty impressive victims, including Atkinson, Wagner, Helfer, Ryan, Mitra, and, oh yes, both Strahovski AND Theron."

McCarthy: "Who STILL continues to DUCK me after all these years! I've offered to fight her anyWHERE any TIME for a decade now and she continues to run scared. You name the PLACE, Theron. You name the TIME. And I'll be there to whip YOUR..."


Halloween 3: Season Of The Witch 2-Electric Halloween

Deborah Foreman

Adrian Zmed

Lucy Gutteridge

Chris Makepeace

O'Dell: "...THE LANGUAGE! We're back...."

McCarthy: "Who knew Lucy Gutteridge was still alive..."

Tess: "Yes, because you can't turn ON a TV without tripping over Deborah Foreman these days..."

O'Dell: "Let's concentrate on THE RING, shall we? Perry helped off with the robe to reveal that red two-piece she likes, and we're about ready to go. Let's get some picks. Tess favors Katy. Mac?"

McCarthy: "Another typical Dancing Hooker opponent with no FCBA wins. Perry."

O'Dell: "Cassie?"

Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"

O'Dell: "Here we go and there's nothing subtle about this! Two ladies just meeting at center ring and beginning to bang away at one another! No feeling out process, no tactical stuff, just slugging right from the opening seconds of the round. This looks like the Katy Perry we saw several years ago, not the boxer/puncher she is now..."

Tess: "Looks like she wants to send a message early in this one..."

O'Dell: "AND A MESSAGE IS SENT...BY GOODWIN! A vicious right hand rocks Perry! Alice all in immediately. The bountiful Brit looking to pull a huge upset here with a first-round KO..."

McCarthy: "This brings back memories of Paltrow, who knocked Perry out in the first in this very ring, right before she finally pulled it together and went on the roll that took her to the title..."

O'Dell: "And Alice definitely trying to play a brunette, busty, British Paltrow at the moment. She's throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Katy, getting her against the ropes and working her over in a big way. Perry hanging on, firing back a little as the round comes to an end. There's the bell. Wide to Goodwin who prances away with a big smile on her face!"

Cassie: "And, well she should. That was one heck of a round for Alice!"

ROUND TWO:

O'Dell: "Goodwin looking to consolidate here in the second and she's meeting determined resistance from Perry. Katy holding ground, banging back, and HERE WE GO! We've got some serious hot tossing going on in there right now, ladies! Both fighters landing hard right hands and neither willing to give an inch..."

Cassie: "These are just BOMBS being traded right now. You could knock a welter out with some of these. You could knock a HORSE out with some of these..."

O'Dell: "But, the brunettes are shipping the shot and staying afloat. They're also emptying the magazines here, firing every gun on deck in an effort to impose will, but, again, despite all the efforts, neither of these girls is backing up a step. And, the interesting thing to this point, Mac, is it's all upstairs..."

McCarthy: "Somebody's going to cross the Rubicon sooner or later..."

Tess: "Did she just..."

Cassie: "About once a month..."

McCarthy: "What ARE you two babbling about?"

O'Dell: "Final seconds ticking off in what's been an action-packed second round and the work rate not slowing at all. Both fighters still firing away, looking for any signs of weakness in the other, but not finding one. Five seconds left. ANOTHER sharp exchange and there's the bell. Close to Perry."

Tess: "And, we're even at 19 after two, but, at the rate this is going, the scorecards are not going to be necessary."

ROUND THREE:

O'Dell: "Third begins and HERE WE GO AGAIN! Perry and Goodwin right back at it, slugging away in the center of the ring. Fans absolutely loving this, as you might imagine. They've been on the edges of their seats since the opening seconds, and they've had no reason to sit back since..."

Cassie: "RIGHT HAND, PERRY!"

O'Dell: "And Goodwin is GOBSMACKED! A brutal right hook from Katy has Alice staggering backward and Perry wondering how she's still standing, I'd wager. That was a punch that would have put down nine tenths of the division, but not Goodwin! Alice definitely hurt, though. She's giving ground in great swaths now..."

McCarthy: "Great what?"

Tess: "THERE'S our girl..."

O'Dell: "Perry backing Goodwin to the ropes with about a minute to go and hammering away with both hands. Alice getting brutalized much the way Katy did in the first. The Brit hanging on gamely, firing back in spots, trying to get to the final bell. And, she does! There it is and the round is over. It's Katy wide, but Alice survives."

McCarthy: "Perry now up 29-28, but I'm starting to like this Goodwin..."

ROUND FOUR:

O'Dell: "Fourth begins with Perry now looking not to consolidate but to finish. She's coming right after Alice in a big way. Goodwin forced to give ground, taking heavy fire from both the right and the left. She's countering with hard, sharp stuff, but it's not enough to slow down Perry. The singer determined to..."

Cassie: "RIGHT HAND, GOODWIN!"

O'Dell: "And Perry is hurt again! Alice winging away now. She's gotten a second chance to end this thing and she's going after it with everything she has and DOWN GOES PERRY! Goodwin with a NASTY one-two to the head and Katy dropped to her back...and this place is going absolutely crazy!"

McCarthy: "I'm REALLY starting to like this Goodwin!"

O'Dell: "Count at three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Perry to her hands and knees. Eight. Nine. She's on her feet. Referee going to give the former champ the mandatory and waive Alice forward. Goodwin RUNS across the ring and gets to work. She's hammering Perry backward. Katy trapped on the ropes, covering up, taking, jabbing back some. Referee isn't going to watch much more of this. Katy tying up, trying to run clock. Alice stacks her against the ropes and lands a BLISTERING right hand! Perry wobbles, but stays on her feet. Ref looking closely. Katy leaning back, covering up. Alice just firing everything she's got, but she can't get it done. BELL! And the round is over! Perry holds on, but Goodwin's in charge!"

Tess: "And back in the lead on the cards, 38-37."

ROUND FIVE:

O'Dell: "Goodwin right after Perry to start this one and Katy's in full retreat. It's not quite a rout, she's counter-punching, but there's no question who's on the offensive now, and it's Alice Goodwin. The Brit stepping into everything right now. She's clearly realized Perry's still wobbly, and the plan is to get her out of there..."

McCarthy: "It's a good plan, too. When you're the underdog, go for it!"

O'Dell: "And, that's exactly what Goodwin's doing. She's not winging away, mind. She's setting up punches, using a solid left jab, getting plenty of clean leather home. Perry taking a TON of fire this round, and that's got to be adding up. She's hanging in there as best she can, but she's definitely in trouble..."

Cassie: "This is the great thing about the FCBA. You just don't know. When we came in here, who thought a girl without a fight in the bigs would be giving Katy Perry, a former champion, this kind of trouble?"

O'Dell: "But, that's exactly what the Brit is doing. And, she's turning a lot of heads while doing it, no question of that. Goodwin VERY physical in the late going. She's got Perry against the ropes again, going body now, not crossing Mac's Rubicon, but hammering away at the ribs and belly to the bell. Goodwin wide."

Tess: "And, Alice now on top 48-46."

ROUND SIX:

O'Dell: "Alice right back to work in the sixth. Katy giving ground again. Seems to have more of the legs back now, but Alice still imposing will at the moment. Still coming forward while Katy's stuck in reverse. Goodwin remaining sound, setting things up, well aware of how dangerous Perry is..."

McCarthy: "Well, right now, I think ALICE has proved to be the more dangerous of the two."

O'Dell: "And, she's continuing to pile up evidence. Backing Perry to the ropes again and going body. Goodwin THUMPING away downstairs with both hands, then coming back to the head and GOING DOWN! DOWN GOES GOODWIN! A right hand counter from Perry and Alice dropped flat to her back!"

Tess: "This place is going nuts!"

O'Dell: "Perry to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. Six. Alice sitting up. Seven. Eight. She's to her feet at nine! Referee going to give her the mandatory and waive Perry forward and HERE COMES KATY! Perry now swinging for glory. Goodwin almost immediately to the ropes and taking. Only a few seconds left, though, and Alice going to run them out despite a BLISTERING right from Perry at the bell."

Cassie: "What a round. And what a fight! Perry's evened it at 56."

ROUND SEVEN:

O'Dell: "Seventh begins with a 180 from the beginning of the sixth. It's now Perry looking to clean up Goodwin and Alice in retreat. Katy absolutely bullying Goodwin around the ring right now, thumping heavy leather to body and head. Alice definitely still feeling some of the effects of last round, Mac..."

McCarthy: "No doubt, and Perry's taking full advantage."

O'Dell: "She is, indeed, WHACKING Goodwin at every opportunity, slowly working her to the ropes and now abusing her along the cables. This is one of the places Katy excels. She's a great finisher, as we've seen, and Goodwin doing very well to take all these shots and remain standing. Very well, indeed..."

Cassie: "You talked about turning heads, Jenny. Well, she's turning plenty with this as well."

O'Dell: "Meanwhile, Katy turning ALICE'S head with a NASTY right hook that wobbles Goodwin again. Alice clinching now, but Katy shoves her off and goes right back to work. Perry thumping belly now, trying to bring the guard down, going back upstairs with a BIG uppercut. Ten seconds to go. Goodwin going to survive another onslaught. There's the bell. Perry wide."

Tess: "Perry back on top, 66-65."

ROUND EIGHT:

O'Dell: "Perry working forward again here in the eighth, but now stalking slowly. No question a lot of energy used in those last couple of rounds, and it looks like Katy wants to slow the pace. Alice noticing quickly and she's not giving ground, instead, standing in there and banging back and SHE ROCKS PERRY WITH A LEFT HOOK!"

Cassie: "This fight is UNREAL!"

O'Dell: "And, the momentum changes once again! Now it's Goodwin grabbing up all the canvas she lost in the last couple of rounds and Katy once again in retreat. Alice now all in. She wants to end this thing and is going to throw in all the reserves in an effort to do it. Perry AGAIN backed to the ropes and taking..."

Tess: "This fight has had enough action and big punches for an entire card..."

O'Dell: "And, we still have a couple of frames to go...assuming Alice isn't able to end it right now. She's buffeting Perry around the ropes with hard shots off her guard. Referee looking in, but Katy countering enough to keep him at bay. Ten seconds left. Goodwin a solid right, but there's the bell. Alice wide."

McCarthy: "And, we're even at 75."

ROUND NINE:

O'Dell: "And, would you believe, the ninth begins with Alice coming forward and Katy in retreat. I'm not sure when the last time was I saw a fight like this, but it's been awhile. Goodwin squaring up Perry with hard right hand and KATY DROPS ALICE WITH A RIGHT HAND COUNTER! DOWN GOES GOODWIN!"

Tess: "This is MAYHEM in there..."

O'Dell: "Perry to a neutral corner. Goodwin flat on her face at Katy's feet. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Six. Goodwin to hands and knees. Seven. Eight..."

McCarthy: "Unbelievable..."

O'Dell: "Alice beats the count! Referee giving her the mandatory, and he's going to waive Perry forward. Katy charging right into battle, hammering Alice with both hands. Goodwin up against the ropes yet AGAIN. She's taking heavy fire seemingly from everywhere as Perry makes yet another effort to finish this thing. Goodwin tying up. Katy stacks her, works some body, goes back upstairs, RINGS HER BELL WITH A RIGHT HOOK! Goodwin ties up again, hanging on figuratively and literally. Ten seconds left. Katy shoves off and lands one more right but there's the bell. Alice survives again."

Cassie: "85-83 Perry. Goodwin needs something big in the final round. But it's not like she hasn't done plenty of big things already."


ROUND TEN:

O'Dell: "We've got a couple of fighters that are just about spent as we start the tenth and final. Goodwin after Perry and Katy not backing away. Fighters trading punches in the center of the ring, but not a lot of movement and not a lot behind them right now. The brunettes looking a little gassed at the moment..."

McCarthy: "Not surprised after the volume of punches we've seen in this one. This is lightweight, and we've got flyweight punch stats..."

O'Dell: "Little more clinching going on in this stanza, also not a surprise considering the nine action-packed rounds we've seen to this point. Both ladies still working, though. Goodwin clearly knowing she needs this round and Perry has to know all she has to do is stay on her feet, but she's not backing away..."

Tess: "Hasn't done it the entire fight. Not surprised she's not starting now."

O'Dell: "Thirty seconds left in what's been one heck of a fight. Again, the work rate has slowed, but the fighters still going at it. Goodwin trying for one more big shot, and Katy Perry not a hard girl to find, standing right there toe-to-toe as the final seconds tick away. Fans on their feet and there's the bell and one of those hugs Mac loves so much..."

Cassie: "And even SHE can't complain much about this one. Mutual respect after a great fight."

O'Dell: "Decision coming back, and the judges had the last one narrow for Alice like we did, because the cards read 95-94 for your winner by UD10, 'The Santa Barbara Slugger', Katy Perry!"

AFTER:

O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"

Tess: "I have our winner, Katy Perry, and, Katy, what a WAR..."

Katy: "That's pretty much what it was, Tess. Give this girl credit. There aren't many girls who could have taken what I dished out and ended the night on their feet. She did, though."

Tess: "I've got to ask this. It seems like you might have had an easier time if you'd have done more boxing in there..."

Katy (nodding): "She was trying to prove something, and so was I. And it wasn't that I could out-box her."
