BEFORE:

"People forget what a close fight it was the first time," says Hilary with a nod. "I can beat this girl. And, that's exactly what I'm going to do!"

"She's a champion," Chloe admits. "She can fight. But, tonight, she's in with the best bantam in the world, and that will NOT go well for her."

ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Wake Up', and here comes the singer of that tune, former Unified Bantamweight Champion Hilary Duff!"

McCarthy: "Weirdo must be slipping booking former champs on here..."

Cassie: "Well, he books YOU a lot. Think about THAT."

McCarthy: "You LITTLE..."

O'Dell: "Now, calm DOWN, Mac, and let's keep our eyes on the ring, where Duff climbs in and is helped off with the robe to reveal a fuchsia number that's got the crowd's attention. And..."

McCarthy: "STOP that INTERNAL noise!"

Tess: "Hearing voices, Mac?"

McCarthy: "What are you BABBLING about, Walmart?"

O'Dell (sighing): "What you are hearing behind us is 'Uh Oh', by the young lady coming to the ring right now, 'The Next Big Thing', Chloe Bennet!"

Cassie: "Chloe's been at the top of the bantamweight division at Front Street for a while now, but Lili Reinhart's got the belts right now..."

Tess: "So, she definitely wants a result tonight."

O'Dell: "Chloe into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. She's looking good in that blue number we've seen before. And, the ladies are about ready. Time for some picks. Tess likes Chloe. Mac?"

McCarthy: "Duff can fight. Hilary!"

O'Dell: "Cassie?"

Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"

O'Dell: "Here we go. Feeling out process being dispensed with early, as the blonde works inside and begins banging and the brunette responds in kind. It's been a while since these two fought, but it's clear they have good memories, because we're working on those exact terms in the rematch..."

McCarthy: "More proof Front Street's trainers are idiots. Bennet's a decent boxer. Why get in there and bang with Duff?"

Cassie: "Says the woman who tried that with NEVE CAMPBELL..."

McCarthy: "I. WAS. ROBBED!"

O'Dell (sighing): "Ladies hooking the body, going back upstairs with hooks and uppercuts. Lots of hard leather being exchanged, but, as benefits a pair of former champions, nothing sloppy in there. Blonde and brunette setting their punches up, playing good defense..."

Tess: "And doing some DAMAGE to the body."

O'Dell: "No doubt about it. Some heavy investment taking place on both sides as the final seconds tick away in the first. Hasn't been much in it in this round. Good right hand by Duff and there's the bell. Very, very close, but the blonde is going to take the points and the 10-9 lead."

ROUND TWO:

O'Dell: "Right back in the booth, with the ladies going body in a major way here in the second. Going to take a lot of investment in those bodies to pay off, but both fighters clearly willing to make it, as they rock ribs and tenderize tummies, thumping away at close range..."

McCarthy: "Just silly is what this is..."

O'Dell: "Left hook, Hilary and BENNET IS HURT! Chloe wobbled and DROPPED BY A RIGHT UPPERCUT! Just like she did the first time, Duff drops Bennet, and it was the exact same one-two, the left hook followed by the right uppie and both were absolutely perfectly placed!"

Tess: "We know Bennet can shake it off with the best of them, but..."

O'Dell: "Chloe down on her back. Hilary to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. Chloe sitting up at six. Seven. Eight. Bennet to her feet. Ref gives her the mandatory and waves on Duff! Hilary a buzz saw now, driving Bennet back into the ropes and working her over against the cables. Bennet in a high guard, jabbing back here and there, running clock. Just a few ticks left on the clock and there's the bell. Chloe survives..."

Cassie: "But, Hilary uses the 10-8 round to take a 20-17 lead."

ROUND THREE:

O'Dell: "Third begins with the blonde backing up the brunette. Chloe's legs looking better, but still not all the way back, and Hilar knows it. She's taking the fight to Bennet, scoring with both hands. Chloe working to stay off the ropes here, and managing to do it, at least for the moment..."

Tess: "A nice fighting retreat for Bennet."

O'Dell: "Indeed, it is. Chloe scoring here and there, but the big thing is, she's slowing down Duff's attack. Hilary's definitely fighting lead, and, no doubt, getting the better of things, but Bennet not only denying her the finish, but also the clean up, which is pretty impressive, frankly..."

Cassie: "Getting closer and closer to a two-way fight as the round goes on."

O'Dell: "No question. Not going to matter on the cards, because Hilary's definitely had much the better of it this stanza, but, Chloe's shaken off the damage and is giving as good as she gets as the final ten seconds tick away. SHARP exchange there and there's the bell."

McCarthy: "And, Duff now leads 30-26. Big hill for Bennet to climb."

ROUND FOUR:

O'Dell: "Ladies back working at close quarters, banging away to both head and body. Duff right on Bennet's shoulder right now, staying in her grill, making the reach the brunette has moot. Chloe not even attempting to get any range here. She's more than willing to fight on these terms..."

McCarthy: "Just stupid!"

O'Dell: "SOLID exchange there as both women land a good right hook. Nobody taking a step back. Both blonde and brunette continuing to bring the heavy leather. Bennet has upped the aggression a bit in this round. No surprise, as she's the one in a four-point hole on the cards..."

Cassie: "But, Hilary's not going to take that lead and try to hide."

O'Dell: "Definitely not. Just not in the DNA for Duff. She's an aggressive pressure fighter, and she's got everything clicking pretty well right now. Fifteen seconds remaining in a very active round for both fighters. Another exchange and there's the bell. Close. Bennet's on the board."

Tess: "But still trailing 39-36."

ROUND FIVE:

O'Dell: "Ladies come together in the middle of the ring again and BENNET LANDS A BOOMING RIGHT HAND! Duff is rumblin' stumblin' fumblin' around the ring as the brunette goes all in here! Blonde in desperate trouble as Chloe tees off with both hands, driving her back into the ropes..."

Cassie: "Plenty of round left here..."

O'Dell: "Way more than Duff would like right now. Bennet taking her time, setting up her punches, landing hard right hands. Blonde doing very little here, but it's enough to keep the ref at bay as the brunette looks for the 'off' switch, but, for the moment, isn't able to find it."

Tess: "Duff doing a good job defensively, but Bennet getting plenty of work done."

O'Dell: "No doubt about it. Chloe giving her rival a thorough beating right now. GOOD right by Bennet and that gets the ref's attention. Duff clinching, hanging on to kill some time. Ref breaks the fighters and Hilary slips off the ropes. Chloe coming forward, lands another good right and there's the bell. Shutout, Bennet."

McCarthy: "And, she's cut Duff's lead in half, 48-46."

ROUND SIX:

O'Dell: "Second half begins with the brunette coming forward behind the jab. Duff giving ground on iffy legs. Chloe stalking, definitely thinking about finishing this thing right now, while the blonde works at managing, working the clock, staying off the cables, and, at the moment, she's doing all three..."

McCarthy: "Kid still has the lead. Get through this round on her feet and she'll be up at least a point with four to go..."

O'Dell: "And, that's exactly what Hilary's trying to do...get through this round on her feet. Chloe, though, is not co-operating, continuing to pressure and sit down on punches and DOWN GOES DUFF! Oh, a straight right hand from Bennet and Hilary is down on her back!"

Tess: "Not going to get up from that..."

O'Dell: "Bennet to a neutral corner. Duff, eyes closed, on her back. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Hilary rolls to her belly at six. Seven. Eight. Pushing up to hands and knees at nine. TEN! It's OVER! Duff still on all fours as the count passes her by and it's OVER! And your winner by KO6 is 'The Next Big Thing', Chloe Bennet!"

Cassie: "Just another vintage Bennet comeback!"

AFTER:

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

Tess: "I have our winner, Chloe Bennet, and, Chloe, just like last time, very physical in there..."

Chloe (nodding): "Yeah. She can bang. Very sturdy. Hard to move. Plenty dangerous inside. But. Like I said, she was in with the best bantam on the planet tonight."

Tess (smiling): "I'd ask what's next for you, but I know the answer..."

Chloe (grinning): "You do! Whatever gets me closer to another shot at the belts. That's what's next."
