BEFORE:

"Not sure why you're even interviewing ME," says Connie with the hint of a smile. "I'm just the OPPONENT. Here to keep Ruah busy. But, just maybe I plan to do a little MORE than that..."

"If anyone thinks I'm taking this girl lightly, they're nuts," says Daniela shaking her head. "Know how many wins I have this year? ONE. And I'm competing with SEVEN other girls for fight slots. This is serious business for me. And that's exactly how I'm approaching it."

ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'A Man You Don't Meet Every Day', by The Pogues, and here comes the owner of Front Street, The Grand Wizard of Boxing!"

McCarthy: "Does that LUNATIC have to come down and prance around the ring EVERY month! Get him OUT of there..."

O'Dell: "Wiz into the ring, grabbing a mic...let's listen in..."

Man In The Hat(looking around the arena): "Wow! What a great crowd! I LOVE Philadelphia!"

O'Dell: "And the crowd roaring..."

McCarthy: "Cheap pop! Typical!"

Man In The Hat: "Well, we've got a great card tonight, and I want to get right to it."

McCarthy: "Then get OUT of there..."

Man In The Hat: "But, first I want to talk about our cards here at the Asylum, which have been, as you all know, a huge success. Now, a lot of that is because of great fans like YOU..."

O'Dell: "Crowd going wild again..."

McCarthy: "MORE cheap pop..."

Man In The Hat: "And a lot of it has been because of the great fighters we've had in the ring, both Front Street's girls and our guests, and, of course, because of Avril Lavigne and Jane Levy, our promoters. But, a good deal of credit should also go to our wonderful announce crew! Let's hear it for 'em."

O'Dell: "And a little pop for little old us..."

Tess: "Well, isn't that NICE of Wiz, Mac?"

McCarthy: "Shut it, Walmart!"

O'Dell: "Drink up and listen, boys..."

Man In The Hat: "Why, we've got a Hall of Famer, the great Jennifer O'Dell! doing play-by-play. And, we've got one of the best boxing journalists on the planet, Tess Valmore, doing color. And, let's not forget 'The Loose Cannon Of The FCBA', 'The Straw That Stirs The Drink', Jenny McCarthy. The ladies compliment one another very well. It's perfect. A bantamweight, J-Mac, a lightweight, Jenny O, and a welterweight, Tess. Well, ALMOST perfect. We might be missing a little something. Because, you know what I realized? We don't have a FLYweight!"

Tess: "And the crowd roaring again..."

O'Dell: "Oh, boy..."

McCarthy: "Don't even THINK about it! I approve all guest announcers! It's in my CONTRACT!"

Man In The Hat: "Now, calm down, Mac..."

McCarthy: "DON'T YOU TELL ME TO CALM DOWN, YOU NUTJOB! BAZZ DIDN'T APPOINT ANY GUEST ANNOUNCER AND I DIDN'T APPROVE ANYONE, EXCEPT SHAHI FOR THE BEACH FIGHT! NOW GET OUT OF THE RING!"

Man In The Hat: "A FLYweight. That's what we need..."

McCarthy: "Why is he still TALKING?"

Man In The Hat: "So, you know what Old Wiz did? Why, I did a WORLDWIDE search for the PERFECT flyweight to add to this crew..."

McCarthy: "There isn't going to BE an addition..."

Man In The Hat: "I considered ALL flyweights, active and retired, even Aguilera, who's a flyweight again after bein' a middleweight for a while..."

McCarthy: "He's gone INSANE. Well, he went insane YEARS ago, but you know what I MEAN."

Man In The Hat: "We went through a RIGOROUS process of considering and rejecting possible announcers until, finally, after reviewing HUNDREDS of candidates, we made our decision..."

McCarthy: "Which doesn't MATTER because I'm VETOING it..."

Man In The Hat: "Oh, and Mac? Your contract gives you approval over GUEST announcers. Not PERMANENT additions to the announce crew. THAT power belongs to ME..."

McCarthy: "WHAT? NO! SIRI, CALL MY AGENT!"

Man In The Hat: "So, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not going to spoil the surprise for you. I'll simply let our new announcer walk down the aisle to the table. But, I will reveal the official name of tonight's card. Ladies and gentleman, welcome to 'SHARKNADO AT THE ASYLUM'!"

McCarthy: "OH, HELL NO!"

O'Dell: "And decorations dropping on strings from the ceiling, inflatable sharks and tornadoes..."

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small

McCarthy: "I'LL LEAVE A MESSAGE, YOU LOSER! THIS IS J-MAC AND YOU'RE FIRRREEEDDDDD!"

O'Dell: "And Cassie Scerbo, the star of Sharknado, is headed to the table, the new PERMANENT fourth member of the announce crew...high-fiving Wiz as he heads up the aisle to the owner's box..."

McCarthy: "I'LL SUE! I'LL SUE!"

Tess: "Look at it THIS way, Mac, it's like you getting a permanent spot on 'The View'. Whoopie may not like it, but that's the business. Besides, we all know everyone tunes in to see The Legend, Jenny McCarthy, and to hear her thoughtful expert analysis! I mean, YOU'RE the one who suggested moving Perry to welter..."

McCarthy: "That's right, I WAS. The Weirdo STOLE the idea from ME!"

Tess: "See? No matter how many announcers Wiz hires, we ALL know who the star of the show is!"

McCarthy: "Well, you have a point, Walmart..."

O'Dell: "Cassie now high-fiving Tess and taking her PERMANENT seat here with us. Welcome aboard!"

Cassie: "Well, thank you, Jenny. I must say I'm surprised. I mean, Uncle Wiz considered SO MANY good candidates. I can't BELIEVE he picked ME..."

McCarthy: "And she can say that with a straight face!"

Cassie: "Love you, too, Mac..."

McCarthy: "You little..."

O'Dell: "And that song you hear is 'Stronger Than Me', and here comes the singer, the lovely Connie Britton, star of ABC's 'Nashville'..."

McCarthy: "Know who ELSE stars in 'Nashville'?"

Cassie: "Know who looks like a geriatric member of The Blue Man Group?"

McCarthy: "I'm wearing BODY PAINT to referee Kat and Kendra. And SHUT UP, SCABBO!"

O'Dell: "Britton into the ring, helped off with the robe to reveal a nice aqua number that shows off a still-rocking body, and that's 'Nothing Else Matters' by Metallica, and here comes 'The Portuguese Princess', Daniela Ruah!"

Cassie: "Ruah a girl with a high up side. Tall, rangy, loads of power. Only has 15 FCBA fights, but she's had some great performances. Knocked out Refaeli her last time out. Obliterated Yustman, knocked out Ashley Scott and Cat Bell. Had Lawrence beaten when she got stopped in the last round..."

O'Dell: "Daniela into the ring, helped off with the robe by Jewel and Britney to reveal that baby blue number she prefers, and it's time for some picks. Tess on record as favoring Ruah. Mac?"

McCarthy: "Obviously, Ruah's the favorite against a girl without a win..."

O'Dell: "And, Cassie, now officially a member of our team..."

Cassie: "I agree with Tess..."

McCarthy: "We picked...I said...you little..."

O'Dell: "There's the bell for the first. Ruah quickly working forward behind that hard straight left hand..."

Cassie: "The Front Street jab..."

McCarthy: "It's a JAB...why do I BOTHER???"

O'Dell: "Ruah finding the range with it immediately...AND THAT QUICKLY DROPS BRITTON WITH A RIGHT HAND!"

Tess: "Wow. Wasted no time letting a power punch go..."

Cassie: "Dani has as much power as any lightweight in the FCBA. Eight of her ten wins are by knockout..."

Tess: "It's a JOY to have another color commentator on this broadcast who actually does RESEARCH..."

McCarthy: "SHUT UP, WALMART!"

O'Dell: "We may be going for the record. Drink up boys, as the referee's count reaches six. Seven. Eight. And Connie to her feet. Takes the mandatory. And the ref waives Ruah forward. Nothing hurried from Dani. Back to the left hand. Connie giving ground, covering up...AND DOWN SHE GOES AGAIN!"

Tess: "NASTY right hand!"

McCarthy: "Set her up off the jab again. Ruah really timing these punches. Putting them together very well."

O'Dell: "Referee counting again. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. And, again, Britton getting to her feet. Referee gives her the mandatory and again Connie says she's good to go. Ref going to allow it to continue...and Ruah right back to work with the left hand. POPPING that heavy jab. Britton keeping the gloves high, backing toward the ropes slowly. Ruah patiently. Very defensive, looking to get out of this first round and reset..."

McCarthy: "Then she'd better stay OFF those ropes..."

O'Dell: "RIGHT HAND, RUAH, AND DOWN GOES BRITTON AGAIN!"

Tess: "Never MADE it to the ropes..."

O'Dell: "Referee again counting. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. And AGAIN Britton to her feet. Referee looking closely as he gives her the mandatory again, and he's going to let it continue. Ruah waived forward. No extra urgency from Dani. Right back to the game plan..."

Tess: "Might as well. It's working."

O'Dell: "Ruah range-finding with the left right to the bell to finish a HUGE first round!"

McCarthy: "Don't see many 10-6 rounds, but you just saw one."

ROUND TWO:

O'Dell: "Back to action in the second, and Ruah back to work behind the left jab..."

Cassie: "This is what Dani likes. She's very long and she likes to work at range. Sticks that jab out, establishes a perimeter, then begins firing the big guns."

O'Dell: "Britton definitely still worse for the wear from that first, not doing much offensively. Willing to retreat. Keeping the mitts high..."

McCarthy: "Snapping out the odd jab in counter, but that's it. Trying to settle this thing down, and that's not a bad tactic right now."

O'Dell: "Ruah remaining patient. She's in control and she's happy to maintain the current terms..."

McCarthy: "This is something a good fighter learns to do as she matures. She wants the stoppage here, but she's not going to get sloppy and try to force anything. She's going to keep working and let this fight play out."

O'Dell: "And it's certainly playing out to Ruah's liking right now. Dani controlling Connie. Britton still sputtering, but serviceable as the second comes to an end."

Tess: "Connie firming up as that one went on. Dani's round, though, and a big lead already for Ruah, 20-15."

ROUND THREE:

O'Dell: "Third round begins with a good flurry from Connie! Britton blocks a left and lands a solid right hand in the follow up exchange."

McCarthy: "Some aggression now from Connie. Maybe catching Ruah by surprise."

O'Dell: "Britton finding Ruah with that sneaky left jab. Timing her pretty well."

McCarthy: "Showing a little foot movement, too. Stepping right, away from Ruah's right hand."

O'Dell: "Dani now ranging in with the jab again, beginning to land it solidly like she did in the first two rounds."

Cassie: "Daniela adjusting. Matching that slide step of Connie's and squaring her up again."

O'Dell: "Ruah doubling up the jab, dropping in right hands, starting to suppress Connie and throw her back onto the defensive."

McCarthy: "This right here is discouraging stuff for Britton. Getting caught some power shots is one thing, but when you start to get something going and the other girl just puts down the uprising as smoothly as Ruah's doing now, you start wondering what you're doing in there."

O'Dell: "Ruah slowly turning up the heat, backing Britton up, keeping her square, working mainly the left hand, banging home the odd right. Connie game, but unable to hold canvas as the final seconds tick away and Ruah, despite the early rally for Britton, has her third consecutive round."

Tess: "And it's now 30-24 through three. Connie in a big hole."

ROUND FOUR:

O'Dell: "We're into the fourth now, and again Ruah quickly establishes control with the left hand, moving Connie with it, keeping her pinned down..."

Tess: "How do you handle this if you're Britton, Mac?"

McCarthy: "If I'm in her corner, I tell her she has to MOVE more. Head, shoulders and hands. Ruah's keeping her square with the feet. She's got to be tricky with the upper body."

O'Dell: "Ruah a HARD left and a right hook and DOWN GOES BRITTON!"

Cassie: "Like I said, as much power as any light in the world..."

McCarthy: "Adrianne. Palicki. The Chin Checker..."

Cassie: "Hmm. THAT might be an interesting fight..."

McCarthy: "You know, now that I think about...WAIT...I MAKE THE FIGHTS AT SCEEJ, NOT YOU, YOU LITTLE TWERP!"

O'Dell(sighing): "Referee's count at four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. And Connie to her feet AGAIN!"

McCarthy: "Give this girl credit. She's tougher than prison beef..."

O'Dell: "Britton takes the mandatory for the fourth time..."

Tess: "This is starting to remind me of Ruah/Yustman..."

O'Dell: "And the referee going to let it continue. Ruah right back to work. Britton backing into the ropes for the first time, guard high, covering up. Dani working the left, banging rights off the older woman's guard. Connie ties up. Ruah shoves her off, but Britton ties up again..."

McCarthy: "Smart stuff from Connie. Not going to test her legs out in the middle of the ring. Just leaning into those ropes and covering and clinching. Running clock."

O'Dell: "Referee breaking the girls apart and Ruah back to work, but again, Connie tying the brunette up at every opportunity, holding the arms, wrapping around the head, Ruah shoves free, lands a left, and Connie again clinches."

McCarthy: "Britton smart. Not hitting while she's holding. Breaking clean. Ref has nothing to warn her about, really."

O'Dell: "If Ruah's frustrated, she's not showing it. She just keeps scoring in between the clinches. Working a little body now to bring the guard down in the waning seconds. Britton ties up again. Again the ref breaks them and the break clean. Connie slips off the ropes now, legs working again. Ruah pursues, lands a left, and there's the bell. Another big round for Dani, but Connie again survives."

Tess: "40-32. Huge lead for Ruah. But, of course, all that can be erased, as Lawrence proved earlier this year."

ROUND FIVE:

O'Dell: "Fifth round begins with Ruah again to the offensive. Turning up the pressure on Connie a bit..."

McCarthy: "Ruah really smothering Britton now, not just preempting...ratcheting up the volume."

O'Dell: "GOOD right hand shook Connie...LEFT HOOK AND DOWN SHE GOES!"

McCarthy: "You know, Weirdo ought to use THIS girl more at welter, too. She's got the power for the division, and, this side of Righetti and Big Bad Gena Lee, there's no one up there to worry about..."

Cassie: "Um...you HAVE heard of Bridget Regan..."

McCarthy: "Over. Rated."

Cassie: "Didn't look like it when she was knocking YOU out..."

McCarthy: "Shut itttttt!"

O'Dell: "Referee's count at five. Six. Seven. Eight. And Connie to her feet AGAIN..."

Cassie: "Give Britton credit. There are a lot of lights in the FCBA who'd be in the dressing room by now."

O'Dell: "Referee gives Britton the mandatory and will let it continue. Ruah moves forward and Connie letting both hands go! Britton off the mat and pitching away! Ruah not going to play this game, willing to give ground and go over to the defensive. Dani slowly firming her defenses with that left hand. Letting Connie's offensive spend itself..."

Tess: "Smart stuff from Ruah here. Not going to get caught up in any desperate stuff from Connie."

O'Dell: "Ruah gaining control again now, putting down the uprising with that heavy left jab, backing Connie up with it again. Britton still game, keeping the defenses up, flurrying back in spots, as aggressive as we've seen her the entire fight, but Daniela imposing will in the closing seconds. There's the bell, and another big round for Dani Ru."

Cassie: "Plenty of compete from Connie, but Ruah's locked in tonight."

Tess: "50-40 through five. This is starting to look like a 2006 Jason Marquis start..."

ROUND SIX:

O'Dell: "Sixth round underway and Connie again aggressively after Ruah with a crisp flurry off the bell..."

McCarthy: "Nothing to lose now..."

O'Dell: "Ruah firing right back and some crisp exchanges resulting in the early going. Britton a right hook...AND DOWN GOES CONNIE!"

Cassie: "That right hand again. That's SIX knockdowns for Ruah."

O'Dell: "Britton to a sitting position at four. Five. Six. Seven. And she's getting up again!"

Tess: "Gutty performance, Mac..."

McCarthy: "Got to respect it. She's not willing to go quietly. She wants to fight. Not like that whiny whimp PREJEAN!"

O'Dell: "Britton takes the mandatory and the referee waives Ruah forward. Daniela moving in behind the left, backing Connie back into the ropes and hooking body now, banging those ribs, looking to bring down the guard. Britton tying up, getting shoved off, crouching with the hands high and the elbows tight, trying to protect the body...LEFT UPPERCUT, RUAH! Split the gloves and wobbled Britton! Ruah an overhand right sends Connie staggering along the ropes. HARD straight left snaps the head back...AND IT'S OVER! Referee jumps between the fighters! He's seen enough and your winner by TKO6 is 'The Portuguese Princess', Daniela Ruah!"

McCarthy: "The tough competition earlier this year has been good for this kid. This is as good as I've seen her look."

AFTER:

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

Tess: "I'm with our winner, Daniela Ruah, and, Dani, you've kind of been in Brooke's shadow a little bit since you came to Front Street, but performances like this could change that..."

Daniela(smiling): "Look, Brooke CASTS a big shadow. If you'rE in her STABLE, let alone her weight class, you're going to get overshadowed. But, the thing about Front Street is, to get noticed, to get pushed, to get big fights, all you have to do is WIN. And that's exactly what I plan to do. I'm not going to talk, I'm not going to self-promote, I'm just going to climb between these ropes and win. And the rest will take care of itself."
