BEFORE:

"Man," says Alicia with a smile, "It's been awhile. And, back then, it wasn't even in this building. But, it's not like I've been sitting around all that time. I've been staying active, just not getting fights in the FCBA. Well. Now, I've got one, and I'm going to show everyone what they've been missing!"

"Hard to believe she hasn't been more active," says Chloe. "She's got skills. She's athletic. There are girls she can beat. Not me, though. Not me."

ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Girl on Fire', and here comes the singer of that tune, the lovely Alicia Keys from Hell's Kitchen, who was one of four fighters on the first, unofficial Asylum card back on January 13, 2011!"

McCarthy: "Ahh, the good old days, when the broadcast team was just the two Hall of Famers, WITHOUT Walmart and Scabbo..."

Cassie: "Hmm. I'm looking around the table here and I only see ONE Hall of Famer..."

McCarthy: "THAT'S BECAUSE WALMART IS BESMIRCHING MY LEGACY! SHE'S DELIBERATELY KEEPING ME OUT, DENYING THE GREATEST FIGHTING PLAYMATE OF ALL TIME HER DUE!"

Tess (sighing): "Thannnnkkkssss, BFF..."

O'Dell: "Keys into the ring and helped off with the robe. And, just like she did that first night, that night our card was an adjunct to the pay-per-view, not a card of its own, she's wearing a white bikini and looking VERY good in it. And, that's..."

McCarthy: "HORRIBLE! AWFUL! TERRIBLE! An assault on my OLFACTION!"

O'Dell (sighing): "'Uh Oh', you hear hammering through the arena behind us, and that means that the singer of that song, former Unified Bantamweight Champion Chloe Bennet, is on her way to the ring..."

Cassie: "Back to that first unofficial Asylum card, Keys fought Pink in one fight, and the other featured Grace Park and Maggie Q. Both fights were held in Philly, but not at Asylum, as Uncle Wiz hadn't bought the arena yet..."

McCarthy: "Who CARES, Scabbo?"

Tess: "The first official Asylum card took place the following month, on February 26th. It was called 'Anarchy At The Asylum' and featured four bouts, including the FCBA debut of Kesha."

McCarthy: "Boooorrrinnnggggggg..."

O'Dell (sighing): "Bennet into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. She's wearing that blue bikini we've seen before, and it's time for some picks. Tess likes Bennet. Mac?"

McCarthy: "Typical Dancing Hooker opponent, NO FCBA wins. Bennet."

O'Dell: "Cassie?"

Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"

O'Dell: "And, we're underway. Keys making with the jab early. She's got some length and she's using it, wants some distance here and getting it in the early going. Bennet content to stay at range, box with. Keys landing a nice combination. Older fighter getting into rhythm quickly here, Mac..."

McCarthy: "Sometimes that whole 'feeling out' thing can be overrated. You only have ten rounds to get work done. Get in there and get started."

O'Dell: "And, Alicia clearly using that strategy. She's aggressively after the favored former champion, landing another combination. Bennet giving some ground, covering up, looking to manage the early offensive from her opponent. Keys a GOOD right hand in that exchange. She's not holding anything back..."

Tess: "And, why would she? She's a huge underdog against one of the best bantams in the world. No sense playing it safe."

O'Dell: "Final thirty seconds of the first round and Keys continuing to roll here. Another nice combination from Alicia and Chloe gives ground again. Bennet clearly looking to let this play itself out, as she's not making any effort to do much more than counter here. Five seconds left and there's the bell. Keys wide in the first."

ROUND TWO:

O'Dell: "Alicia right back to work as we start the second and Bennet banging right back and we've got a firefight in the middle of the ring. GOOD right hand by Keys and CHLOE ROCKS HER WITH A RIGHT OF HER OWN! Alicia staggered by that right hand from Bennet and Chloe going all in immediately...."

Cassie: "Keys did well to stay on her feet. A lot of bantams would have been on the canvas after that!"

O'Dell: "Bennet training the big guns on Alicia, backing the singer up, letting her have it with both hands. Keys wobbling, but hanging on. Backed against the cables now as she takes heavy fire seemingly from everywhere. Bennet working some body now with Alicia's guard high..."

Tess: "This is NOT where Keys wants to be against Bennet. Chloe's a finisher."

O'Dell: "And, that's precisely the plan right now. Heading down the stretch and Bennet putting punches together. Keys taking a LOT of fire right now as the referee looks in. We've got ten seconds to go. GOOD right from Chloe shook Keys. Alicia hanging on with five seconds left, and there's the bell. Shutout, Bennet."

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

ROUND THREE:

O'Dell: "Bennet after Keys early. She's looking to end this thing right now. Alicia staying on the defensive, still doesn't have those sturdy legs all the way back under her. Chloe stepping to, working a little body, trying to bring the guard down. Keys ties up. Bennet shoves off, works some more body."

McCarthy: "Ref had better watch for low blows in there! Everybody knows Weirdo's girls CHEAT..."

O'Dell: "Alicia tying up again. Bennet levers her with a shoulder and digs to the midsection. Keys clinching, hanging on. Referee steps in to break. Alicia moving a little better now. Circles away as Bennet steps to and DOWN GOES KEYS! Singer absolutely POLEAXED by a right hand from Chloe!"

Cassie: "Well, I don't sing EVERY fight...but I could sing now..."

O'Dell: "Bennet to a neutral corner. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Keys flat on her face, not moving at all, and I'm not surprised, because that was an absolute BOMB. Seven. Eight. It's all academic. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! And your winner by KO3 is 'The Next Big Thing' Chloe Bennet..."

Tess: "I've said it before and I'll say it again. She's the best fighter Front Street has...at ANY weight."

AFTER:

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

Tess: "I have our winner, Chloe Bennet, and, Chloe, talk about that right hand..."

Chloe (shrugging): "Just caught her with it. She was circling and I was able to get to a spot and let it go. When it landed, I knew it was over. She wasn't getting up from that. No bantam in the FCBA was getting up from THAT..."

Tess: "You've had a big year already, beaten some good fighters like Robbie and Wilde. What's next?"

Chloe: "Well, you know, those belts felt pretty good around my waist and over my shoulders, so, I'll be doing whatever gets me closer to a chance to get them back."
