BEFORE:

"Very excited to be making my FCBA debut on this card," says Eliza with a nod. "You can clearly help your career doing it, because, guess who made theirs on LAST year's card?"

"Hard to believe it's been a year," says Meg with a smile. "So much has happened and it's gone by so quickly. But. Now I'm making my Front Street debut in the same place I made my FCBA debut. The big difference will be in the result."



ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Riders on the Storm' by the Doors, a song from the 'Sharp Objects' soundtrack, and here comes one of the stars of that series and the movie 'Little Women', Eliza Scanlen!"

McCarthy: "YAWN. Typical Dancing Hooker opponent. NO FCBA wins..."

Cassie: "BFF, how can it be after all these years Mac still doesn't understand the THEME of this card..."

Tess: "No idea. Because it's CALLED 'Six DEBUTS In Search Of An Asylum'..."

McCarthy: "And, AGAIN, I had FCBA wins BEFORE my debut, and THAT'S why I'm ranked in the Top Twenty at age 47!"

Cassie: "Remind me to blow off about six pudding bombs in your fiancee's car, would you, BFF?"

O'Dell (sighing): "First fight of the year. And, already, I need a vodka drip. Eliza into the ring and helped off with the robe to reveal an electric blue number and a well-trained body, and that's 'BAAM' you hear behind us..."

McCarthy: "I STILL like this song, even though Donnelly's a Dancing Hooker now..."

O'Dell: "And, the singer of that tune is, indeed, 'The Peapack Punisher' Meg Donnelly, who's headed to the ring as we speak..."

Tess: "One of five new members of Front Street, and ALL FIVE will make their debuts for the stable tonight..."

Cassie: "And, TWO will make their FCBA debuts as well."

O'Dell: "Donnelly into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. She's wearing that yellow number we've seen before and looking plenty good in it if the crowd reaction is to be believed. Ladies just about ready. Time for some picks. Tess likes Meg. Mac?"

McCarthy: "NO FCBA wins. Donnelly."

O'Dell: "Cassie?"

Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"

O'Dell: "Unanimous to start the 2020 campaign. And, Meg's on the move early as you might expect. We've seen the blonde before, and she's very athletic and moves very well. But, Eliza doing well to cut the ring and force Meg into some exchanges here, exchanges she's scoring well in..."

Cassie: "Meg likes to stick and move, but, right now, Eliza's doing a better job enforcing terms."

O'Dell: "Is, indeed. Brunette into a rhythm early, and she's beating the younger blonde to the punch. Meg unable to get to get to open canvas. Instead, she's spending a lot of time in close with Styles and she EATS a good right doing that! That got the blonde's attention..."

McCarthy: "Caught her pretty clean with it. This kid doesn't know what she's DOING. No surprise with Weirdo's trainers!"

O'Dell: "Final thirty seconds of the first. Styles has been in control. Meg trying to get something going, but having very little success doing it. Instead, Styles continuing to have the better of things, putting punches together, scoring very well with both hands. There's the bell. Eliza. Wide."

Tess: "And, Scanlen leads 10-9."



ROUND TWO:



O'Dell: "Meg ranging across the ring as we start the third. She's got the jab working now, sticking it in Eliza's face, slowing Scanlen with it, keeping her off. And, that's letting Donnelly use that leg, as she dances, sticks, moves, stops, pops, then gets moving once again..."

Cassie: "This is the kind of thing this girl can do, and that's why Uncle Wiz wanted her."

O'Dell: "Meg in rhythm for the first time tonight, and she's looking plenty good. It's all about the left jab and the educated feet. Donnelly showing the quicks right now, and they're causing the brunette problems. GOOD combination Meg! Confidence appears to be building here..."

Tess: "Donnelly's got it going, that's for sure..."

Cassie: "Look at the smile on Uncle Wiz's face up in the owner's box..."

McCarthy: "DO NOT SHOW HIM ON TV, TRUCK!"

O'Dell (sighing): "We're down under thirty seconds to go in the third, and it's been a great round for Meg. Good combination there stops Eliza once again. Scanlen just not able to get much done in this stanza. Five seconds left, and Donnelly will leg the round away. There's the bell. Meg. Wide. And, we're even at 19."



ROUND THREE:



O'Dell: "More ranging by the blonde. Donnelly's got it going now, and she's not going to make any adjustments unless it becomes necessary. And, at the moment, it's not. Blonde getting the better of things in a big way. She's targeting head with that jab, stopping Scanlen, then either moving or following on with combinations..."

Cassie: "This girl is going to cause problems in this division if she can do this consistently."

O'Dell: "Meg circling. Eliza stepping to, stopped by the jab and ROCKED BY A RIGHT HAND! Donnelly staggers the brunette and now Meg is all in! Eliza covering up as Meg lets the hands go. LEFT HOOK and Scanlen stumbles and she's DROPPED BY A STRAIGHT RIGHT!"

Tess: "Landed pretty clean, Jenny..."

O'Dell: "Meg grinning as she bounces to a neutral corner. Scanlen flat on her back. Referee's count at three. Four. Five. Eliza staring up at him, but the wires are all crossed it looks like. Seven. Eight. Not going to happen. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! And your winner by KO3 is 'The Peapack Punisher', Meg Donnelly!"

McCarthy: "Lucky punch..."



AFTER:

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

Tess: "I have our winner, Meg Donnelly, and, Meg, you can not KEEP the smile from your face..."

Meg: "This...it's special, you know? Winning my Front Street debut. I have so many plans in the FCBA. And, this is where it starts, you know. Right here. Right now."

Tess: "And, where does it go from here?"

Meg (smiling): "Wherever management says it goes. I can't wait to get back in this ring. I can't WAIT."
