BEFORE:

"I give Front Street credit," says Tiffani with a lovely smile. "They're still willing to book me after the hell I put Britney through. Nobody ELSE is, but they are. It's going to cost them tonight. But, again, give them credit."

"She's as rugged as it gets," says Chloe with a nod. "No, she's not 20 anymore, but she still hits like a truck. Just ask anybody who's been in with her. This is going to be physical. Very physical. Just like I like it."

ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "We're back at ringside and that's 'You're A God', by Vertical Horizon, and here comes the star of that video..."

McCarthy: "DO NOT call her the 'Iconic 90s Beauty' like you did the last time! There's only ONE Iconic 90s Beauty, and that's ME! And, SHUT UP, SCABBO. And, you, too, Walmart!"

Tess: "What did I do?"

O'Dell: "Drink up, boys, and drink in the lovely Ms. Thiessen, who looks anything but 43 years old in that orange bikini top with the white bottoms."

McCarthy: "Again. Nothin' but a number. As I prove EVERY DAY!"

O'Dell: "And, that's..."

McCarthy: "Just VILE! EAR-PIERCING! Beyond HORRIBLE! Why do we continue to be subjected to this kind of music?"

Tess: "Again, asks the woman who was actually legally enjoined from singing!"

Cassie: "I saw the court order!"

McCarthy: "That was just one song and SHUT UP, WALMART!"

O'Dell (sighing): "Drink up again, boys. And, that song is 'Uh Oh', by the young lady coming to the ring right now, 'The Next Big Thing', Chloe Bennet."

Cassie: "And, as we mentioned last month, Bennet one of those girls looking to take the step up to the top of Front Street's bantamweight division."

O'Dell: "Chloe into the ring. Jewel and Neve help her off with the robe, and she's wearing that blue bikini she likes. Ladies about ready. Tess favors Chloe. Mac?"

McCarthy: "Nothin' but a number! Thiessen!"

O'Dell: "Cassie?"

Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"

O'Dell: "And, there's the bell, and things getting very physical early. Chloe stepping right to Tif, and Thiessen all about banging back at Bennet. Lots of heavy leather flying around. No feeling out process or recon in this one. We're going right to the heat of the battle and it's hot and heavy, ladies!"

McCarthy: "This is typical dumb stuff from a Front Street fighter. This is how Thiessen wants to fight, and Bennet's allowing that to happen!"

O'Dell: "And, doing quite well for herself, by the by, as she backs Tif up with a right hand and STAGGERS HER WITH A LEFT HOOK! Bennet a NASTY left and Thiessen more than a little buzzed! Chloe banging away, driving Tiffani back into the ropes and giving her a thorough going over..."

Tess: "That punch would have floored a lot of bantamweights. In fact, it would have floored some LIGHTweights. Thiessen still plenty sturdy."

O'Dell: "And, if there were any questions about that, she's answering them now, taking heavy fire along the ropes. Chloe landing some hard shot, but Thiessen's legs up to the challenge. Bennet working some body now, then back up to the head, lands a NICE right hand, but there's the bell. Tiffani still standing. Chloe's round wide."

Cassie: "Not sure what it takes to get Thiessen out of there, because Bennet hit her with about everything she could find."

ROUND TWO:

O'Dell: "Second underway. Bennet right at Thiessen and TIFFANI BANGING RIGHT BACK! Firefight in the middle of the ring! Thiessen's clearly shaken off the worst of the damage and she's actually backing Bennet up with some heavy leather. Chloe showing some movement now..."

McCarthy: "About TIME! If I were training this kid, this would have been the fight plan."

O'Dell: "Thiessen still has good feet, too. She's matching footwork, squaring up, getting leather on. Bennet firing back in kind and HERE WE GO AGAIN! Crowd going NUTS as we're seeing Hagler/Hearns stuff in there! Neither of these brunettes giving an inch as both hammer away!"

Cassie: "This is all about imposing will now. Somebody's going to do that. But, I suspect it won't be until the other girl is flat on the canvas."

O'Dell: "I think you might be right, Cassie, because, again, nobody's backing up a step. Both standing in and banging away, showing good defense, moving the head, shoulders, hands, feet, but nobody's going backward. BIG exchange there and sweat flies from both girls' heads at the bell! What a round! Close. Thiessen."

Tess: "And, we're even at 19 after two."

ROUND THREE:

O'Dell: "Into the third now, and they're right back at it. Just like Cassie said, it's all about imposing will and both fighters determined to do that. Thiessen a HARD right hand, backs Bennet up a step. Chloe stepping right back to, landing a good left hook. Pace picking up quickly once again with heavy leather being tossed around..."

McCarthy: "I'd say I can't believe this kid is standing toe-to-toe just like Thiessen wants, but, again, Front Street HAS no decent trainers, so, I believe it."

O'Dell: "Thiessen a NASTY hook to the body. Bennet fires back and lands a hard right hand that sends Tiffani back a step. Now it's Thiessen right back to, going body again, banging away at Chloe's midsection, hooking those ribs. Bennet banging back, nice hook to the belly button and DOWN GOES THIESSEN!"

Cassie: "That hook to the body got Tif to drop her head and Chloe just landed an uppie right on the button!"

O'Dell: "And, Tif crumples at Bennet's feet with her hands trapped underneath her! Chloe wasting no time getting to a neutral corner. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. No movement at all from Thiessen. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! And you're winner by KO3 in one-punch fashion is 'The Next Big Thing', Chloe Bennet!"

Tess: "Not much question how this was going to end, the way it was being fought. The only question was 'Who?' and now we have our answer."

AFTER:

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

Tess: "I have our winner, Chloe Bennet, and, Chloe, just a war in there..."

Chloe (nodding): "I knew how she'd come out and fight this thing, and I was OK with that. Like I said, I like to fight girls with physical styles, because that's what I'm all about."

Tess: "There's been a lot of talk about reshuffling in the bantamweight division at Front Street. I suspect there are people who think you might be the best fighter the stable has at 120..."

Chloe: "All I know is this. There's no one in this division I can't give a fight to. I've proven that. As for the rest, I'll just keep taking care of business in the ring, and leave that up to folks like you."
