#2 Best of 7

Posted by Simguy on 5/15/2006, 12:58 pm

Before: Jenny up 1-0 in the series-confidence running high on the BSE side of the dais, but Jenny keeping it in perspective. “I’ve got to keep the pressure on,” O’Dell confirms, “Winning the first fight is huge, but it’s the 7th fight that counts--I just have to build o what I’ve accomplished, get stronger each time out, and keep discouraging Ali. That first fight was a VERY close-run thing--I got everything I expected out of Landry and then com--but I know she was heartbroken by that loss. It’ll be interesting to see how she responds to being used up like that.”

Ali pursing her lips at Jenny’s subtle dais-digs--brunette badgered by the press concerning her late-rounds collapse, know she has some atoning to do in this fight.

“It’s over--done,” Landry dismisses the past with a wave of her hand, “I’m looking to the future, Jenny was very strong in the last fight--I’ll give her  credit for that--but I saw a lot of holes that I’ll be able to take advantage of in this series. I got something going to Jenny’s body last time that I’ll be able to build upon--that’s probably where I’m going to win this thing, so I’ll just keep, investing there. Attrition definitely favours me--Jenny can’t stand toe-to-toe with me for 7 fights.”

Venue: L.A. Playboy mansion, noonday bout outdoors on the lawn--invite-only crowd--fight carried live on the Playboy Cable Channel.

During R1: “UHHH!” Ali hit’s the ropes hard, under threat as jenny barrels into her to begin festivities with classic blonde-donnybrook. O’Dell fighting off Ali’s chest--head down, arms thrashing back and forth, fists piston-pumping into Landry’s quivering belly--Ali has to clinch or be beaten as Jenny gets off to her trademark quick start. Ref spreading ‘em out--Jenny steps back in with a lead hook (blocked), bodying up to get Ali  back on those ropes. Tousle-grinding foreheads as beauties lean in--Jenny more methodical, more measured now--right hand at her chest--using it to paw-down on Ali’s left; left at waist as she uses her left shoulder to stabilize and brace Ali. Landry right under her chin, left across her gut--she’s in there rubbing, bumping--both girls settling into a very ham-handed body-banging rhythm--hooks and clubbing right hands. Jenny won’t let Ali off the apron--blonde’s legs planted strong--O’Dell initiating the punching--Ali answering. Jenny very abrupt, sudden in her slugging--dipping a shoulder and ripping hooks; pivoting on her hips and backing the right hand down atop Ali’s head. Ali not getting as much vitriol on her shots--she’s just nipping back at Jenny, trying to fit clean punches in, not worried about the weight of shot just yet. Strong slugging first to Jenny--she wheels away, stomping happily to her corner: just exactly the tone she wants to set for this second fight.

R2: Ali frowning, fading to ropes in a loose peek-a-boo, looking to draw Jenny in and counter her. O’Dell obliging--jabbing to find Ali, then sailing in on her with looping overhand rights; lusty, reefing hooks from a wide stance. Ali relaxed in the pocket, lolling her torso side to side, leaning back, leaning forward--she’s comfy at the ropes supple--rolling Jenny’s fury and biding her time, measuring the openings. Jenny’s clawing hook squirts in between Ali’s gloves, jarring Landry’s head unexpectedly and LANDRY GOES LIMP! Stunned crowd leaping to its feet at the sudden sickening wilt in Ali’s posture--SHE’S OUT ON HER FEET! Ali upright against the ropes, tilting forward, hands relaxing down--JENNY’S POUNDING AWAY! O’Dell without an instant’s hesitation PILES on: hooks and crosses smashing in on Ali’s sleeping face, bashing that pageant winning skull back and around as the body slumps heavily in the ropes. Jenny’s body electrifying, vibrant, kinetic as she pours herself at her foe: Ali’s body slumped, stationary except foe the jerk of Jenny’s connects and THE REF JUMPS IN! Jenny hurled aside, then Ali cuddled to safety at the topes, fast asleep in the man’s arms. Savage, stunning TKO2 Jenny O’Dell!

After: Jenny jogging to corner ropes, climbing them and bellowing out into the awestruck crowd: thrilling stoppage felt ‘round the FCBA as Jenny blows the doors off Ali Landry in this one. “Well, the boss wanted a faster start out of me,” beaming Jenny quips, “hope that was fast enough for him!

Jenny, jenny--with a win of this magnitude, can you go ahead and clean up Ali for a sweep now? “I don’t even want to hear the word ‘sweep’,” Jenny frowns at the Tractorpull guy who asked the question. “Nobody in my camp is talking sweep, and I’m not training for a sweep. Yes, this is a huge blow to Ali’s confidence and gigantic boost for me--I’m not denying that. But it could all go away in a heartbeat if I start celebrating now.”

O’Dell’s camp might not be talking sweep, but the paralysis that had gripped Team Allen spreading throughout Team Landry in the aftermath of this wipeout. Wholesale changes expected as Ali scrambles to pick up the pieces: Landry’s GOT to find traction…but how?

“A loss like this means Jenny’s not just beating Ali in this series,” a gloating BLONDE! Mag article trumpets in days to follow, “but she’s actually hammering at Ali’s legacy and tearing down the ‘Landry Mystique’ brick by brick. Ali’s been getting by on smoke-and-mirrors for years now and it’s taken a Jenny O’Dell to step up and call Ms. Landry on it.”

Sidenote: Jenny signing autographs for young, wide-eyed Playmates who had been a little standoffish beforehand--blonde winning over what had been a pro-Ali crowd today: even more pressure on Landry’s shoulders as Jenny’s success attracts ever more fans to her side.
