BEFORE:
"It seems to me that all the BBU-America girls are underrated," says Ashley. "I've beaten Lively and Lancaster. Took Laura V the distance. I'm 23 years old and I'm forgotten? Buried in the rankings? And here's Sobieski, who's a .500 fighter and she's top ten? Well, after tonight, maybe I'll get a little respect."
"Ashley is better than she's being given credit for," says a serious-faced Leelee. "The girl has quality wins. She can fight. This isn't going to be a walkover. But I AM going to beat her for one simple reason. I'm better."
ROUND ONE:
O'Dell: "Back at ringside and there's 'Move Along' by the All-American Rejects and here comes Ashley Newbrough. And she's rocking a deep red bikini under that robe, J-Mac!"
McCarthy: "Well, that's not a centerfold body, but everyone isn't blessed with one of those!"
O'Dell: "And that's 'Uprising' by Muse and here comes Leelee being led to the ring by Jewel..."
McCarthy: "SPEAKING of people who don't have centerfold bodies..."
Tess: "Is she going to talk about the fight or spend all night telling us how hot she is?"
McCarthy: "Who turned WALMART's mic on?"
O'Dell: "AHEM...Leelee into the ring, drops the robe and shows off a black bikini. Got matching gloves, just like Newbrough. So, mac, what's your take on this one?"
McCarthy: "Well, you have to favor Leelee somewhat, here, but not prohibitively..."
Tess: "Did someone give you a 'word-a-day' calendar?"
McCarthy: "SHUT HER MIC OFF!!!"
O'Dell: "Referee is not part of my job description, ladies! Let's turn our attention to the ring, shall we? Preliminaries out of the way and there's the bell! Leelee aggressive, banging out that straight left jab. Nailing Ashley with it. Newbrough firing back, both girls flat-footed."
McCarthy: "Ashley needs to move more. Leelee's a bigger girl. She doesn't want to trade here."
O'Dell: "Leelee lands the left, doubles up. Blocks a return from Newbrough. Lands the left again. Right hook to the body. Ashley sticks a jab of her own, but eats another from Leelee. Sobieski moving Newbrough back a step with that left. Ashley short on the return as a result."
McCarthy: "Newbrough needs to move!"
O'Dell: "Leelee with a good two-punch combination there, Mac. Left-right. Jab and cross and it wobbled Ashley a bit. Newbrough covering up as Leelee bangs a right to the body, snaps the head back with a left. Ashley firing back, but short. Leelee banging the left home again. Again. Scoring almost at will from out there.
That's the bell and it was all Leelee in the first."
ROUND TWO:
O'Dell: "Second round underway now, and Leelee back to banging with that left. She's got the range on that jab, really getting into it, Mac!"
McCarthy: "Perfect form from the ankle all the way through to the knuckles. Getting all the power into it. Ashley on the end of it. She's giving up just a bit of reach here, and Leelee's taking full advantage."
O'Dell: "Newbrough giving a little ground, trying to hold her canvas as Leelee's got that heet-seeker on target. Left. Left again. Right hook to the side of the head. Ashley's game, trying to fire back, but she's off balance, out of range."
McCarthy: "Sobieski is busting this kid up, Jenny. Something has to change for Ashley, because she's getting strafed out there."
O'Dell: "Leelee doubles up on the jab again. Still flat footed. Lands a left-right. Sweat flies off Newbrough's head. Bell sounds. Second in the books and another dominant round for Sobieski."
ROUND THREE:
O'Dell: "On to round three now, and Leelee right back to the offensive. Left. Left. Left. Shelling Ashley. Snapping her head back. Backing her up. Sneaking in a right hand. Newbrough back another step..."
McCarthy: "Give Ashley credit for guts, anyway. She's not running. Trying to hold her ground. No brains, maybe, but plenty of guts."
O'Dell: "Leelee with a left-right to the head. Lands another jab. Now moving in behind the jab, bodying Newbrough backward toward the ropes. Hooking the flanks with the right. Ashley trying to tie up. Leelee bodying her back, slamming a hook to the midsection, getting big on Newbrough here. Rocks the head with a left hook. Ashley trying to punch free, but Leelee catching them on her gloves and shoulders, working the body for the first time. Hooking the ribs. Nice right to the chin! Ashley felt that one. Bell rings. That's the third and Leelee Sobieski is in complete control."
ROUND FOUR:
O'Dell: "The fourth is underway and Sobieski back to the flat-footed shelling of Newbrough. Ashley showing a little more movement now. Showing some angles. Moving left away from Leelee's jab..."
McCarthy: "This could be one of those things that seem like a good idea at the time. You don't want to be moving left against a right handed fighter. Sobieski doesn't have Regan power, but she can hit. You don't want to walk into a big right."
O'Dell: "Seems to be working for the moment, though. Leelee not finding the range, coming in behind the jab and catching a nice right from Ashley. Another! Good stuff there from Newbrough for the first time tonight. Sobieski lands a left, but Ashley counters with a left-right of her own. Stops Leelee as she tries to advance. Newbrough let's the hands go here! Sobieski caught most of that on the gloves, but Ashley scored a few. Leelee lands a left, but Newbrough ducks the right, lands another good right hand as the bell rings!"
McCarthy: "That was a good round for Newbrough. Her best of the fight so far, and she won it on my card."
ROUND FIVE:
O'Dell: "We may just have a fight here, Mac, as we move to round five. Sobieski going back to that left jab, but Newbrough ducking, hooking the flanks with her own left. Leelee stepping forward, landing a right hook, clinching, referee stepping in to break the girls apart."
McCarthy: "Ashley got herself a little respect in that last round. Sobieski isn't walking in on her now."
O'Dell: "Newbrough drops a whippy left hook to the kidney, buries a right in the ribs, steps forward, ties Leelee up as the big blonde tries to counter. Leelee shoving Ashley off, lands a left to the head, bangs a right to the belly, ties up inside."
McCarthy: "Things getting a little sloppy this round. Lots of stop and go."
O'Dell: "Newbrough lands a jab, misses with a right hand, the girls tie up again. Leelee working the ribs with her free right hand in the clinch. Referee will break the ladies apart. Round comes to an end. Nothing much in it."
McCarthy: "That one's even I think."

ROUND SIX:
O'Dell: "Round six now and Sobieski back to that big left jab. Ashley trying to come forward again, but being preempted now. Leelee's got the range, doubling, tripling up on the jab, forcing Ashley backward and out of her stance."
McCarthy: "Newbrough getting shelled here. Can't get off. Leelee's being very patient. Looking to fit rights in. Working that left."
O'Dell: "Ashley short with a left hand. Being forced back out of range again. Leelee lands the jab, snaps back Newbrough's head, digs a right hook to the body. Lets the hands go! Ashley covering up as Leelee lands a three-punch flurry to the head. Newbrough not hurt, but those all scored."
McCarthy: "Ashley needs to get moving again. Leelee's in rhythm here."
O'Dell: "Certainly is. Ashley rocked backward with another straight left. Leelee advancing behind the left hand. Newbrough giving ground. Covering up as Leelee lands another left-right, and there's the bell. Dominant stuff for Sobieski!"
ROUND SEVEN:
O'Dell: "Seventh round now and Sobieski's built a nice lead here, Mac."
McCarthy: "Sure has, and she's done it just like she's doing it now. Using that big left jab from a flat-footed stance. Banging Ashley around, forcing her backward. Newbrough unable to answer, being preempted, forced out of range. Short on everything."
O'Dell: "Leelee banging the left home. Working Ashley back toward the ropes, digging a hook to the body. Newbrough trying to tie up, but Leelee shoves free, walks her back, slams a left into the kidney. Bangs a right hook to the head. Newbrough hooking body herself, but Leelee's backed her against the ropes and she's banging punches against Ashley's raised guard here, hooking the belly and the flanks, pounding away all big. Ashley covering up. Leelee snaps her head back with an uppercut, and there's the bell."
McCarthy: "Great round, Sobieski. No question she was in total control for all three minutes. My card shows 69-65 right now. Long way for Ashley to come back."
ROUND EIGHT:
O'Dell: "And that comeback needs to start now, and Ashley knows it. Getting off first off the bell. Landing a couple of nice left jabs. Slipping left away from Leelee's answering left jab, slinging a hook to the body, ducking a right hand counter. Newbrough landing the left again. Sobieski grazes Ashley with a left jab, takes a hook to the kidney in response."
McCarthy: "This is good stuff from Newbrough. Being aggressive, holding her ground, moving her hands."
O'Dell: "Leelee trying to get the jab working, but Ashley's not having any. Slipping and countering, showing just a bit of angle, hooking the ribs, frustrating the bigger blonde. Nice hard left for Ashley. Leelee counters with a right hook to the body, but Newbrough slips a follow up left, and lands a double up jab."
McCarthy: "No quit in Newbrough, Jenny. Good right hand there! Leelee hooking the body, but Ashley scoring again with the jab. That's the bell and Newbrough's got the round."
ROUND NINE:
O'Dell: "So, Mac, two rounds to go, can Ashley win this thing without a knockout or a big round?"
McCarthy: "Well, I had one even and I've got her down three. If the judges gave her that one and she wins the next two? Could be OT. But, if I were Ashley, I'd be going for a KO here."
O'Dell: "Ashley out aggressive again here in the early going, but Leelee's landing that jab in the face again. Made a little adjustment between rounds it looks like. Timing that shuffle step to the left Ashley was using. That's what Jewel was talking to her about between rounds..."
McCarthy: "Like Jewel knows anything about boxing..."
Tess: "Says the woman who's fighter still hasn't won a fight..."
McCarthy: "SHUT UP, WALMART! WHO TURNED HER MIC ON???"
O'Dell: "Leelee using that piston left to back Ashley up again. Newbrough firing back, but not effective. Not in proper position. Short on everything again. Leelee fits a good right that got Ashley's attention. Another. Newbrough covers up as Leelee goes to the body. Sobieski banging at the ribs, the arms, the kidneys. Walking Ashley back to the ropes again. Left uppercut sends the sweat flying!. Ashley tying up, trying to slip free. Leelee lathering the lats. There's the bell, and that's all Sobieski."
ROUND TEN:
O'Dell: "On to the tenth now, and, Mac, Newbrough needs a knockout..."
McCarthy: "Definitely. She's down 88-84 on my card. Could be a point closer, but that doesn't matter. If this goes the distance, Sobieski's getting her hand raised..."
O'Dell: "And if there's any justice, it'll be the left, because there it is again! Straight left hand. Flat-footed stance. Got the range and landing like clockwork. Big, lusty punches. Moving Newbrough back, preempting any counters, fits a right to the side of the head. Ashley giving ground, being forced back to the ropes, covering up. Leelee going body. Hooking those ribs and lats, briging the guard down, rifling a left to the face that snaps back the head. Newbrough in survival mode now. Covering up and taking it. Leelee laying a beat down on her. Ashley standing up to it well, but clearly discouraged..."
McCarthy: "Sobieski could cruise here, but she isn't. She's imposing will. That's what you have to do if you want to be a champion."
O'Dell: "And there's the bell. Nice, classy stuff as the fighters embrace here. Not going to be any doubt about the scores. 98-93. The winner by UD10 is Leelee Sobieski."
AFTER:
O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and Tess Valmore!"
Tess: "I'm in the ring with Leelee Sobieski, and, Leelee, pretty dominant effort for you tonight..."
Leelee: "We had a good fight plan. Ashley is better than people think, and she showed that. She's got heart and she can fight. She's going to win some fights in the FCBA at both light and welter. But, like I said before the fight, she wasn't going to win tonight. Because, no disrespect, she's good, but I'm just better." |
