(The Metermaids vs Free Agent)

Intro:
The first of three title fights tonight sees the ACB lightweight title on the line, Jodi Gordon looks to dethrone Mallory Jansen in the Suncorp Stadium.

Jodi is 33 years old, she stands 5'8 ½ and holds a record of 2 wins, both by knockout and 1 defeat.

Mallory is 29 years old, she stands 5'9 ½ and holds an unbeaten record of 3 wins, all by knockout, this is her first title defence.

The Green & Gold magazines Summer Cummings interviewed both fighters in the build up to the fight at their gyms.

Jodi finished up working the pads with her coach Holly Valance before she goes to talk to Summer, a smile on her face as she gives Summer a quick hug.

When asked about why she can win this fight, Jodi answers "I got here for a reason, I have shown I am one of the best in Australia today and Mallory frankly isn't anything special, so I am confident of bringing the gold home"

The next question is about why she sees Mallory as nothing special, getting a chuckle from Jodi as she replies "because who has she beaten, Rachel Taylor is bottom rung, Poppy Montgomery is an old hag and Berenice Marlohe is a never was, so how can Mallory claim to be the best?"

Jodi gets shouted over by Holly, with Jodi apologizing that she hasn't time to continue talking, instead jogging over to work the punchbag with Holly drilling her.

While Mallory puts on a whole open workout to the public, she works a punchbag, does all the different cardio exercises and weights, then heads in the ring to spar with a local fighter.

After that is done, she heads out the ring and tells Sarah "see that's why I am the champion, I know how to kick ass and I look stunning doing it"

She is asked about Jodi, getting a mocking reply of "who?" As Mallory takes a quick drink and afterwards says "oh you mean the silly little w**** who thinks they are taking my belt, she is someone who has fallen into my orbit but will be pushed back to the place where nobodies like her belong"

Mallory continues "look Summer; the girls around here simply are not in my class, I should be stepping out this organization and owning the BBU and FCBA, so I hope the big fighters from there take notice when I demolish this bytch!"

Fight night; out comes the challenger Jodi with Holly by her side, Holly can be seen giving Jodi a pep talk as she heads to the ring, Jodi nodding along as she looks focused on the task at hand.
