Page history last edited by anonononononononon 6 years, 8 months ago

BEFORE:

"A year and a half this time," says Erika with a shake of the head. "More than. Over 20 months, and nothing. And, I'll say this again. Girls with a tenth of my resume and a twentieth of my looks have management. Now, none of that is Hunter King's fault. But. She's the one who's going to pay for it."

"Look," says Hunter with a head shake of her own. "I get why she's not happy. But, I'm here because I BELONG here. As she's about to find out."

ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "Back at ringside, and that's 'Tired Of Being Sorry' by the GROUP Ringside, Mac. The GROUP. It's CALLED 'Ringside'..."

McCarthy: "I get it! You don't have to explain things to me like I'm a kindergartener! The group is called 'Ringside'! It's not a difficult concept!"

Tess: "It was the LAST time Christensen was here..."

McCarthy: "SHUT UP, WALMART!"

O'Dell: "Drink up, boys, and let's see if anyone's still conscious by the end of this card. Meanwhile, coming down to the ring to the music of Ringside is the lovely Erika Christensen..."

McCarthy: "And, I'll say again, she's a typical Dancing Hooker opponent, ONE FCBA win!"

Cassie: "You know, if you don't like the way he books the cards, why don't you TALK to YOUR BOSS about it?"

McCarthy: "HE IS NOT MY BOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSS!"

O'Dell (sighing): "Erika into the ring and helped off with the robe to reveal that navy blue two piece and those curves the audience appreciates, and that's 'Shake It Out' by Florence and the Machine, and here comes the newest member of Front Street, 'The Ventura County Volcano', Hunter King!"

McCarthy: "That's a stupid nickname!"

Tess: "Maybe you should take it up with the person who gave her the nickname...your boss..."

McCarthy: "HE IS NOT MY...SHUT UP, WALMARRRTTTTTT!"

O'Dell: "Drink up, boys, but don't take your eyes off the ring, where Hunter's being helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve, and the crowd is LOVING the way she fills out that aqua bikini!"

McCarthy: "Philadelphia. Low standards."

O'Dell: "Ladies about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Hunter. Mac?"

McCarthy: "This is another Campbell protege, I suspect. Even a tomato can like Christensen can beat one of those. Erika."

O'Dell: "Cassie?"

Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"

O'Dell: "And, we're underway. Erika wants to close and bang early, but King wants space, wants to use the legs and box a little. Erika showing good feet, though, cutting the ring, stepping in, banging some body. King thumping back, tying up, forcing a break. Erika right back forward, again managing to cut and close..."

McCarthy: "This kid King doesn't know a thing. Can't figure a way to create space."

O'Dell: "Well, to Erika's credit, she's showing very good feet. King not using enough lateral movement right now. She's getting lined up a little too easily, and that's, I think, where the issue is. But, it may not be that big an issue, as Hunter's doing a good job of holding her own when they're in there banging.

Cassie: "Not surprised. King's a very sturdy bantam. She can thump. It's just that she's younger and more athletic and she wants to use that to her advantage."

O'Dell: "Final 30 seconds of the first. It's been a close round, with both fighters having some success scoring. Erika, though, is having slightly the better of things. Good right hand by King right there, but Christensen digs some body and there's the bell. Again, close, but it's Erika who claims the first."

Tess: "And takes the 10-9 lead."

ROUND TWO:

O'Dell: "Christensen right back at King to start the second. Hunter standing and banging with. Erika thumping away to head and body and King responding in kind. This has quickly gotten to phone booth stuff, and that's exactly what the older blonde wants, it seems, and, when you're getting what you want..."

McCarthy: "You're getting the better of things. The problem is, they don't TEACH these kids anything at Front Street. Give this girl to ME and she might be a champion. But, with Campbell and the rest of those losers? Never!"

O'Dell: "Erika working a lot of body right now, and Hunter responding in kind. As Cassie points out, both girls plenty sturdy, so an investment in the body is going to have to be a big one. King a nice right hand there, backed Erika up a step, but Christensen right back forward to thump the ribs again."

Tess: "I like the way Hunter's working up, down, back up. She's not forgetting about the head or the body. She's staying balanced."

O'Dell: "Definitely showing some nice ring awareness for a girl in her first FCBA fight. Christensen levering King with the shoulder, opening her up to work body. Hunter banging right back with a good combination to the head. Five seconds left. More meat tenderizing right to the bell. Nothing in it, ladies. Draw."

Cassie: "20-19, Erika after two."

ROUND THREE:

O'Dell: "Looks like this fight is going to take place almost entirely in the phone booth. Ladies right back at close quarters for the third consecutive round and we're definitely settling in to that. Christensen digging some more body now, thumping away at the midsection and working the ribs. King firing right back, holding her own in there."

Cassie: "And, again, give her credit for doing that, but she's definitely fighting on Erika's terms."

O'Dell: "And, it just COST her! There's a right hand from Christensen and King's HURT! A short right hook and Hunter's legs gave a shimmy and now Erika going all in on this thing. She's backing King up with heavy fire, pinning her to the ropes and going to work. Younger woman in a high guard, rolling with punches..."

Tess: "Better get busy. Referee needs to see her doing something!"

O'Dell: "King jabbing back in spots here, doing, perhaps, just enough. Erika thumping body trying to bring the guard down. King keeping it high, running clock. Twenty seconds left to go. Christensen just winging away looking to finish. Ten seconds. King going to survive it. There's the bell. Erika. Wide."

McCarthy: "And, it's 30-28, but this kid is lucky the fight isn't over."

ROUND FOUR:

O'Dell: "Fourth begins with more aggression from Erika. Christensen all over King early and Hunter firing right back and we've got ourselves a firefight in the middle of the ring! Front Streeter apparently has the legs back and she's able to hold ground and slug with Christensen! Erika not at all taken aback, though, just letting the hands go in there..."

McCarthy: "And, why not? This is working for her. She hasn't lost a round yet."

O'Dell: "GOOD right hand Erika and King fires back with a pair of absolute BOMBS that back Christensen up a step! Erika right back forward, winging away at the younger blonde, determined to back her up and back her down, but Hunter not going to punk here. She's giving every bit as good as she gets in there..."

Tess: "Yes, she is, but this can't continue much longer. Somebody's going to get hurt, because they're just hammering away in there."

O'Dell: "Indeed, they are. Thirty seconds left in an action-packed fourth. Christensen going body, then back to the head. King a NICE combination that backed Erika up a step again. Older blonde right back forward, though, digging body right to the bell. Close, but Hunter King has her first FCBA round."

Cassie: "39-38 in Christensen's favor after four."

ROUND FIVE:

O'Dell: "Erika right back at Hunter, keeping the pressure on the younger fighter. King up to it, at least for the moment, again banging back hard, giving as good as she gets in some more heavy exchanges. Erika backs Hunter up a step with a good right hook and King covers up as the older blonde lets the hands go."

Cassie: "I wonder how much longer Erika can keep up this work rate. I mean, she's not over the hill, but she's 34 and she giving up some years to King."

O'Dell: "Good point, Cassandra Lynn. No signs of a slow down so far, though, as Erika backs Hunter up with ANOTHER good right hook and GETS ROCKED WITH A RIGHT HAND! Christensen stepped forward directly into a straight right from King and those sturdy legs did a shimmy and now Hunter's shoving all the chips into the middle of the table!"

Tess: "Just be careful not to get sloppy here..."

O'Dell: "Good advice and the youngster seems to be taking it. King backing Erika up, working her toward the ropes, banging a little body as Christensen keeps the guard high. King using the jab to set up hard right hands. She's definitely looking to finish, but she's staying very sound right to the bell. End of the fifth. King wide."

McCarthy: "Even at 48 at the half. Anybody's fight."

ROUND SIX:

O'Dell: "Sixth begins with a major turnaround, as it's King who's coming forward looking to take the fight to the older blonde. Erika giving ground in a fighting retreat, using the counter to slow the Front Streeter, looking to walk her into something. Hunter not having it, though. She's working forward very smartly."

McCarthy: "I don't think she's being aggressive enough. Christensen's getting time to get her legs back."

O'Dell: "That she is, but, in the meantime, King is piling up points and landing some hard shot. Erika mostly off the back foot, though she's able to set and fire some solid leather in spots. GOOD right hand there from King and Christensen covers up. ANOTHER good right from Hunter and THERE'S A LEFT HOOK AND DOWN GOES ERIKA!"

Cassie: "The left hook was the last punch, but it was the cumulative effect of all those hard shots that sent Christensen down."

O'Dell: "Hunter to a neutral corner. Erika on her back, staring up at the referee. Count at three. Four. Five. Six. Christensen shaking the head, desperately trying to clear it. Count at eight. Nine. She's not going to get there. TEN! It's OVER! The older blonde still on her back as the count passes her by and your winner by KO6 is 'The Ventura County Volcano', Hunter King!"

Tess: "Maybe not the most impressive debut in the history of Front Street, but not bad. Not bad at all."

AFTER:

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

Tess: "I have our winner, Hunter King, and, Hunter, it got really physical in there..."

Hunter: "I'm not surprised. She's a full bantam who can hit and take a hit. I knew she'd test me. But, I also knew I'd pass."

Tess: "How's it feel to get that first FCBA win?"

Hunter (smiling): "Well, I know why girls do this, because this is a feeling you aren't likely to get tired of. I've never experienced anything like it!"

Tess: "I suspect you'll experience many more times before you're done, though..."

Hunter (smiling): "I think you're right about that, Tess. In fact, I know you are."
