BEFORE:



"So, no," says Stevens with a shake of he head, "I couldn't handle Brooklyn Decker in my first FCBA fight. But. I've gotten a taste of this now, and I'm confident I'm going to get the right result tonight."



"I have ZERO idea why this girl," says a hard-eyed Serinda, "Thinks she has a chance against me when she couldn't beat Decker. But. We'll just have to show her the error of her thinking."



ROUND ONE:



O'Dell: "Back at ringside, and that's 'Freedom' by Beyonce, and that means that the lovely Amber Stevens of 'Ghosted' is on her way to the ring..."



McCarthy: "In other words, yet another fighter with ZERO FCBA wins being set up like a bowling pin for a talentless Dancing Hooker to knock down!"



Tess: "See, the problem with MAC is, she constantly holds back and won't tell us what she REALLY thinks..."



McCarthy: "Shut UP, Walmart!"



O'Dell: "Drink up, boys, and drink in Ms. Stevens as she's helped off with the robe to reveal that navy blue bikini and a body of which the crowd is very, very appreciative. And, that's 'Foxey Lady' by Jimi Hendrix you hear behind us, and here comes 'The Hottest Player In The Game', Serinda Swan!"



McCarthy: "She wouldn't even be the hottest player on the block if she lived on MY block..."



Cassie: "Truck, another headset. Mac's going for the record..."



McCarthy: "Listen, you LITTLE..."



O'Dell: "IF we could concentrate on the RING, Serinda is climbing inside to be helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. Swan rocking that red bikini we've seen before and looking mighty fine doing it. And, the ladies are about ready. Time for some picks. Tess likes Serinda. Mac?"



McCarthy: "NO. FCBA. WINS. Swan."



O'Dell: "Cassie?"



Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"



O'Dell: "Here we go. No surprise to see Amber on the move. She's a very athletic lightweight and she likes to box. She's got excellent quickness and she'll want to make use of it against Swan, who's one of the most physical lights in the FCBA, and who's also more than willing to play the ranged game..."



McCarthy: "You know who the most physical light in the FCBA is? Palicki! That's who!"



O'Dell: "Swan also very athletic, moves very well, and she's doing that now. Fight ranging all around the ring in the early going as both ladies get their recon on and both look to get their jabs working. Stevens just SO quick a foot. She moves like a flyweight at times, just smooth and very, very fast..."



Cassie: "I was going to make that observation. Flyweight quickness. That's what she has."



O'Dell: "Final seconds of a fast-moving first. Not a ton of punches being thrown, but lots of action as the ladies use every inch of that canvas looking to get the geometry right and get some leather put together. Five seconds to go. Nice exchange and there's the bell. Very, very close. Stevens."



Tess: "Well, we know she can move and we've seen she can box. The question is, can she stand up to Swan's power."



ROUND TWO:



O'Dell: "It's a more aggressive Swan in the second. Serinda not thinking about boxing now. She's stepping to, coming in behind the jab, forcing Stevens to retreat. Amber legging, doesn't want to get into firefights with the older woman. She wants the war of movement we saw in the last round."



McCarthy: "All this dancing around doing nothing. Palicki would have floored EITHER of these bimbos by now..."



O'Dell: "Serinda backing Stevens up with a solid combination and WOBBLING THE LEGS WITH A RIGHT HAND! Oh, that was a NASTY straight right from Swan and Amber did very, very well to stay on her feet. Serinda pouring on the leather now, pounding her rival back into the ropes..."



Tess: "That answers the power question..."



O'Dell: "Swan teeing off on the younger woman, letting her have it with both barrels. Amber rolling with punches in a high guard, countering here and there. Ref on high alert, ready to step in if he has to. Just ten seconds to go in the round. Another good right from Serinda, but there's the bell. Swan wide."



Cassie: "And, we're even at 19."



ROUND THREE:



O'Dell: "Swan right after Stevens. Amber can't have the legs back, and Serinda knows it. Older brunette pressuring, walking the younger woman down with that left jab, looking to get her back to the ropes. Stevens using some lateral movement, staying off the cables, at least for the moment..."



Cassie: "No doubt it's seek and destroy for Swan, though..."



O'Dell: "Serinda SNAPPING that hard Front Street jab, popping Amber's head back with it. Stevens keeping the guard high, countering in spots. Swan a nice flurry. Landed a solid right in there that sent sweat flying from Amber's head and DOWN GOES STEVENS! Amber knocked backward to bounce off the ropes and collapse on the canvas!"



Tess: "And, that answers the power question again..."



O'Dell: "Swan a VICIOUS straight right, split the guard, and Amber now down on her right side parallel to the ropes. Serinda in a neutral corner as the referee counts. Three. Four. Five. There's not really much point in his going on. Seven. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! And, your winner by KO3 is 'The Hottest Player In The Game', Serinda Swan!"



McCarthy: "Who wouldn't last TWO rounds with Palicki!"



AFTER:



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



Tess: "I have our winner, Serinda Swan, and, Swanny, didn't waste a lot of time in there tonight..."



Serinda: "This girl is all about quickness and boxing ability. Fortunately, I'm as athletic as she is. Still, I didn't want to play points with her. That's HER game. MINE is getting physical."



Tess: "You've already won one title, Queen of the Ice Hotel, but, I imagine you're aiming for bigger fish at the moment..."



Serinda: "Absolutely. I want the lightweight belts, and, anyone who's in my way is going to get a taste of what Amber got."
