BEFORE:

"Trust me," says Elizabeth with a nod, "I know I disappointed people against Markle. "And, I was one of them. But, I showed what I could do against Bennet. And, tonight, I'm going to break the maiden against Pink."

"Break the maiden," says Pink with a smile and a shake of the head. "Well, something's going to get broken tonight. That's for sure."

ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Closer' by Nine Inch Nails and that can only mean that blonde stunner Elizabeth Banks is on her way to ringside..."

McCarthy: "Truck, cue the video of what I said the last time this bimbo was here. Typical Dancing Hooker opponent. No FCBA wins. And, you'll note she's fought twice since I said that, and it's STILL true!"

O'Dell: "Banks into the ring and helped off with the robe. Wearing that yellow bikini we saw the last time and getting a reaction from the crowd. Not a ton of 42-year-olds look like that..."

McCarthy: "Truck, cue the video of me saying 'Nothing but a number.'"

O'Dell: "And, that's 'Trouble' you're hearing behind us, and that means 'The Queen of Front Street', Philadelphia's own Pink is on her way down the aisle..."

McCarthy: "Truck, cue the video of me saying Pink is a waste of oxygen who ducked me for YEARS..."

Cassie: "You know, Tess, Mac is making a good point here. Maybe she CAN be replaced with a bunch of old video clips..."

McCarthy: "That's not what...you, little...SHUT UP, SCABBO!"

Tess (laughing): "Good one, BFF..."

McCarthy: "You shut up, too, Walmart!"

O'Dell (sighing): "Drink up, boys and remember we're not even half way through the card. Pink into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. Wearing that black bikini with the white skulls on it that's become so familiar around here. And, with the ladies about ready, it's time for some picks. Tess favors Pink. Mac?"

McCarthy: "You KNOW what I think about Pink. But, even SHE can beat a girl with NO FCBA wins."

O'Dell: "Cassie?"

Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"

O'Dell: "There's the bell. Banks sticking out the left hand. Wants to jab and box at range. No surprise there, because there isn't any percentage in her banging inside with Pink. Pinkness bobbing the head, moving the feet, looking to slip the left, snapping out the odd jab of her own. Banks has a tad of reach here, Mac, and she's using it..."

McCarthy: "Not much, but, if you know how to use it, even a bit can be enough."

O'Dell: "Pinkness not very busy this round and this is something we've seen from her a lot. She likes to feel out an opponent, see where there might be opportunities, and then act on those as the round goes on...though, on occasion we HAVE seen her come out and blow doors off, but, that's not normally the M.O..."

Tess: "Nothing wrong with a little recon. Just have to be careful you don't get yourself in a hole doing it."

O'Dell: "Not a ton of action here as the first heads down the stretch. Banks having the better of things with that left hand, following on with the odd right, very careful, boxing smart. Pink allowing the fight to come to her right now, not forcing, not really doing all that much. Five seconds remaining, and Banks will jab the first away. There's the bell. Elizabeth close."

Cassie: "Always good to take the first and grab the early lead when you're the underdog."

ROUND TWO:

O'Dell: "No change in terms as we begin the second. Banks working behind the left jab, staying at range, boxing well. Elizabeth moves very well. She's extremely sound. She puts punches together well, hooking off the left jab at times, crossing off of it at others. She's not hurried. Working to create openings and then filling them with leather."

Cassie: "A girl like Banks, the problem she has against somebody like Pink isn't boxing ability. She's smart and skilled. The problem is matching the physicals."

O'Dell: "Not easy to do against a girl like Pink. She's an incredible athlete, does trapeze on stage in her show. She's bull strong and in incredible shape, as those ripped abs she was showing off in the disrobe prove pretty well. It's difficult to match something like that, and it can also be hard to offset it..."

Tess: "Sure can, because Pink's a very balanced fighter. She can box. She can swarm. She can slug. There's no style she can't handle."

O'Dell: "Right now, though, Banks doing a very good job of getting work done. Pink again pretty passive in this round. Jabbing occasionally, boxing with, but not forcing anything. She's allowing Banks to fight lead, and Elizabeth doing a very good job of it. She's cruising to the bell with this round in her pocket solid."

McCarthy: "And, the overrated Dancing Hooker loses her second round in a row while you three talk about how great she is. And she's down 20-18."

ROUND THREE:

O'Dell: "Third underway now and Banks right back to the left hand. She's moving the feet well, getting the right hand on. Pinkness giving her the space, boxing at range as she has been the entire fight to this point. The Front Streeter now slipping forward past the jab and banging some body on Banks..."

Cassie: "This is what I thought we'd see from Pink. Bring the physical."

O'Dell: "Banks giving some ground, wants to create space. Pink stepping back in, closing it up, working the body and ROCKING BANKS WITH A RIGHT HOOK! Pink staggers Banks and now batters her right back against the ropes with a flurry of hard, accurate leather! Elizabeth that quickly in deep trouble..."

McCarthy: "I wouldn't have even FELT that punch. Banks has no chin at all!"

O'Dell: "Pink goes from zero to 60 now. She's all over Elizabeth with barrages of fire coming from both hands. Banks in a high guard, hanging on here. Showing some defensive smarts and skill as she rolls with, leans back, picks off as much of this as she can. Clock winding down in the third and there's the bell! Banks lasts it out, but it's Pink wide."

Tess: "And it's now 29-28 after three."

ROUND FOUR:

O'Dell: "And, it's a different Pink at the start of this one. Not going to box with or recon. She's moving in for the kill. Banks in orderly retreat here, still has to be feeling the effects of the last round. She's jabbing for space, backing, circling. But, Pink with those great, athletic feet, cutting her off, closing, banging..."

Tess: "Some of these body shots...you can HEAR them from here, and they're on the other side of the ring."

O'Dell: "No question Pink's getting some power behind these things, digging to belly and ribs. Banks clinching, trying to slow Pink down, but the Front Streeter just shoving her off and going back to work. Elizabeth firing back, hooking into those ripped abs of Pinkness, but that's not slowing her down either..."

Cassie: "You're going to have to do a LOT of work to THAT midsection..."

O'Dell: "Pink a NASTY hook to the belly and A LEFT HOOK TO THE HEAD AND DOWN GOES BANKS! Oh, what a blistering left..."

Cassie: "That's her power hand. She's a natural lefty..."

O'Dell: "Banks just nosed in at Pink's feet and that's where she is as the count reaches three. Four. Five. Six. No movement at all from Elizabeth and I'm not surprised. Seven. Eight. Nine. TEN! And it is OVER! And your winner by KO4 is 'The Queen of Front Street', Pink!"

AFTER:

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

Tess: "I have our winner, Pink, and, Pinkness, once you got rolling, you didn't waste much time..."

Pink (nodding): "She's a pretty good boxer, Tess. A smart girl and a smart fighter. But, there's no stronger bantam in the FCBA than Pinkness. Once I get the power on you, it's just a matter of time."

Tess (smiling): "I'd ask what's next for you, but I know the answer..."

Pink (nodding): "Same as always. Whomever management puts in the other corner, that's OK with me."
