BEFORE:

"You know," says Jessica with a gorgeous smile, "People have been asking me about what it's like to lose management. Well. It sucks. But, there's a way to get it back. Take advantage of your opportunities. Turn heads. And, I plan to turn heads tonight.

"Right now," says Daniela with a nod, "I'm underneath around here. And, there's one way to take care of THAT. Take care of business. And, that's exactly what I'm about to do."

ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "We're back at ringside and that's 'Christina Dior Denim Flow' by Kanye West, and here comes a lovely lady who was mentioned in that song, Jessica Gomes!"

Cassie: "Gomes spent some time with Equipo Secundario last year. Got four fights and didn't win any of them. And, of course, that stable is now defunct, making her an indie again."

Tess: "And, she's right about one thing. If she wants to fix that, she needs to come up big when she gets fights, and she could do worse than start that tonight."

O'Dell: "Gomes into the ring and helped off with the robe. Wearing that red bikini we saw the last time she was here. And, again, she looks just like the internationally famous supermodel she is. And, that's 'Nothing Else Matters' by Metallica, and that can only mean that 'The Portuguese Princess', Daniela Ruah, is on her way to the ring..."

Tess: "Ruah talked about being underneath, and, she is, despite having won fourteen of her last fifteen at this weight, and that's because she fell to Eiza Gonzalez her last time out and happens to be in a division that's SEVEN deep at Front Street..."

Cassie: "And, she's also right about how you take care of that. You win. And she needs a win tonight."

O'Dell: "Ruah into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. She's wearing that powder blue bikini she likes. And, it's time for some picks. Tess favors Daniela. Mac?"

McCarthy: "Gomes is ANOTHER typical Dancing Hooker opponent. NO FCBA wins. Ruah."

O'Dell: "Cassie?"

Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"

O'Dell: "And, here we go. No surprise that we start at range, as both of these brunettes have quite a bit of length and like to use it. They're setting up the gun platform stuff right away, and both are getting the range down quickly, homing in with the jab and a BRUTAL RIGHT HAND FROM GOMES and Ruah's hurt in the first minute!"

Cassie: "That was a heck of a punch, perfectly timed behind the jab!"

O'Dell: "Certainly was and that quickly Jessica's in control of this fight. Ruah backing and covering as Gomes lets the hands go, looking to pull a big upset here. Jessica's sticking with that long left hand, getting it on target and then following with rights. She works Ruah to the ropes and then begins working her over..."

McCarthy: "You may be seeing the last of Daniela Ruah right now. She's on the bottom of Weirdo's pile and came up small against Gonzalez her last time out. Lose today, and she may be out the door!"

O'Dell: "Jessica hooking body as Daniela leans back in the ropes in a high guard, rolling with punches, picking off others, running some clock. Gomes determined to try to finish this, goes right back upstairs and lands some good shot, but she's running out of time. Ten seconds to go. Good right hand, Gomes, but there's the bell. Jessica wide in the first."

Tess: "Cards say 10-9, but that was a big round for Jessica in a lot of ways."

ROUND TWO:

O'Dell: "Gomes right back to work, and Ruah still looking a little unsteady. She's willing to give ground, take it back to the ropes and work the counter from there. This isn't exactly the kind of pocket stuff we've seen from girls like Britney, but it's something similar, and it may not be a bad idea if Ruah isn't sure of those legs."

Cassie: "Well, that punch she took was a monster. It would have put a lot of girls OUT, let alone down. I'm not surprised she's still feeling the effects."

O'Dell: "Jessica again piling up points, banging a little body, but concentrating upstairs looking to finish Daniela. Ruah rolling with, jabbing back in spots, definitely playing for time here. Gomes not letting up a bit, throwing everything she has at the older woman. Daniela taking the licking and continuing ticking."

Tess: "And, she's doing enough in counter that the referee isn't going to jump in and stop it."

O'Dell: "Not unless Gomes lands something else big, at least, and the younger brunette trying desperately to do just that. Twenty-five seconds to go here in the second. Gomes a good right hand that sent sweat flying. Ruah keeping the hands high, leaning back, countering. Ten seconds. One more flurry from Gomes and there's the bell. Jessica wide for the second round in a row."

McCarthy: "20-18. And, like I said, if this doesn't turn around, Ruah's toast."

ROUND THREE:

O'Dell: "Third begins with Gomes again looking to press, but Ruah stopping the offensive immediately. Dani now seems to have the legs back and she's stabilized her front. That quickly, we're back to where we started with the gun platform stuff. Both fighters moving the head and feet, working the long left jab."

McCarthy: "This is more like what I thought we'd see..."

O'Dell: "RIGHT HAND, RUAH! Dani dropped in a big right and now Jessica's hurt! Gomes wobbled and nearly went down and now Daniela's the one going all in. She's hammering away, driving Jessica back, trapping her on the ropes and going to work in a big way. Gomes now in the same position Ruah was the last two rounds!"

Cassie: "You just never know what's going to happen in the FCBA, do you?"

O'Dell: "Thirty seconds to go in the third and Daniela giving Jessica a thumping, but, Gomes doing enough in counter, as Ruah did in the first, to keep the referee at bay. Daniela getting off plenty lusty, though. She's not just scoring, she's doing some damage with those heavy right hands right to the bell. Ruah wide in the third."

Tess: "And, despite the setback, Jessica still up 29-28."

ROUND FOUR:

O'Dell: "Ruah on a mission now. She's walking Gomes down, using her advantage in physicality to take control of the fight. Jessica trying to hold her canvas, but can't get it done. Instead, it's a slow, steady retreat in front of the big guns Ruah's deployed in the field. Gomes still a bit unsure of the legs, Mac..."

McCarthy: "Exactly, and that's why this is working so well for Ruah. Gomes can't do enough lateral movement to slow this down."

O'Dell: "And a veteran like Ruah going to take full advantage of a situation like this, and that's exactly what she's doing. She's giving Jessica a thumping, slowly working her back to the ropes and now pinning her there despite Gomes' best efforts. Ruah working some body now, as Jessica's selling it cheap."

Tess: "And, they're on the other side of the ring, but we can clearly hear those body shots landing. That can NOT feel good..."

O'Dell: "Still, Gomes keeping the guard up, jabbing back, trying to put together some combinations in counter, but mostly failing to do that. Instead, it's one punch stuff, while Ruah's landing punches in bunches. Ten seconds to go in a one-way fourth round. Good right from Dani and there's the bell. Ruah wide again."

Cassie: "And, we're even at 38."

ROUND FIVE:

O'Dell: "Fifth begins with Ruah forward behind that jab again. Jessica seems to have some more leg this round. She's angling a little, trying to foul Daniela's sights. Front Streeter getting that jab home, though, following on with hard right hands. She's got the range and Gomes can't seem to do much about it."

Cassie: "This is not what Jessica wants. She does not want Daniela Ruah lining her up. No good can come of that."

O'Dell: "Gomes again being forced backward. Ruah in total control now, as she has been since that big right hand in the third round that turned this fight completely around. Daniela just showing too much physicality for Gomes at the moment. Jessica game, but, right now, anyway, looking to be outgunned."

McCarthy: "She's got to set her feet and fire back. Punch for respect."

O'Dell: "Ruah another good combination. Jessica fires back and DOWN GOES GOMES! An overhand right from Ruah and Gomes noses in at Daniela's feet!"

Tess: "You might want to cue Cassie's music after that one..."

O'Dell: "Ruah to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. Six. Gomes unmoving. Face down. Hands trapped beneath her. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! And your winner by KO5 in one-punch fashion is 'The Portuguese Princess', Daniela Ruah!"

AFTER:

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

Tess: "I have our winner, Daniela Ruah, and, Dani, rough start..."

Daniela (nodding): "She caught me with a good one, no question. After that, I had to manage things until I could shake it off and get back in the fight."

Tess: "And, when you did shake it off, you took over..."

Daniela: "I had to get a little more aggressive with her. I knew I was down on the cards, so it was time to take it to her. I did. And, I got the result I wanted."
