BEFORE:

"I must admit," says Cheryl with a gorgeous smile, "I'm surprised to be here. I'm surprised Front Street agreed to this fight. Because we all know how disappointing Graham has been. And, putting her in with me? That's a mistake that won't go unpunished. By me."

"Oh, I'm well aware that Geordie Girl thinks she's coming in here to even up the stable war," says a hard-eyed Kat. "She thinks she's just going to roll right over me and break into the elite flys in record time. Well. I've got news for her. SOMETHING is going to break tonight, and it's her FACE."

ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that is..."

McCarthy: "AWFUL! That's TERRIBLE! Who picks this music? Why don't they play any good songs here, like 'Stardust'!"

O'Dell: "A-HEM! That is 'Call My Name', and the singer of said tune, who is coming down to the ring right now is LCA's own Cheryl Cole!"

McCarthy: "If she doesn't fight better than she sings, even GRAHAM will beat her."

Cassie: "And, as Kat mentioned in the pre-fight, this is fight number two of the stable war between LCA and Front Street. Front Street up 1-0 after Brooklyn Decker beat Odette Yustman."

McCarthy: "Can we STOP talking about that overrated egotist Decker?"

O'Dell: "Cole into the ring and helped off with the robe to reveal a red and white striped number and a body that gets the crowd buzzing, and that's 'Wanna Say' hammering through the arena..."

McCarthy: "Again, TERRIBLE. Why can't we get some better music around here?"

O'Dell (sighing): "Just the one more fight to go. Just one more. And then it's me and my vodka..."

McCarthy: "'Me and My Shadow'! That's a good song! Why don't they ever play that?"

O'Dell: "The song you are hearing, of course, is by the lovely lady coming to the ring, 'The Liberian Lynx', Kat Graham..."

Tess: "And, this is a BIG fight for Graham tonight. Stewart, of course, now tops the pecking order here after the win over Hudgens. Meester hasn't broken through yet, but she has some solid wins and is currently a firm number two. Levy is impressing all over the place and looks to be moving up quickly. Kat exorcised some demons last year when she beat Chriqui and Parrish, but she could use a big win. Hasn't had one since she beat Hale and that was over two years ago."

O'Dell: "Kat into the ring and helped off with the robe to reveal that yellow two-piece she likes. And, there's no question Kat's in great shape for this one as well. Ladies about ready. Let's get some picks. Tess likes Kat. Mac?"

McCarthy: "If Cole can fight at ALL, she wins. Cole."

O'Dell: "Cassie?"

Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"

O'Dell: "And, here we go. Cole one of the most aggressive fighters you're likely to see and she's immediately after Graham. Kat, though, about as elusive as it gets, and she absolutely loves the kind of aggression she's seeing from Cole right now. She's circling and jabbing, slipping punches, dipping, angling all over the place."

McCarthy: "Cole needs to slow down. She's playing right into Kat's hands."

O'Dell: "And, Chezza gets the hint here, or, should I say the SHOUTS from her corner. She's settling in now, working forward smartly with the hands high, looking to square Graham up and bang. Kat managing Cheryl with that jab, using those great, athletic legs to bounce and misbehave."

Cassie: "Kat not busy enough, though. She's made Cole miss plenty, but she needs to do more than flick jabs. Has to put some punches together."

O'Dell: "Cole stalking smartly. Getting the odd flurry put together. All of them short, because Graham is in constant motion. She's working a little body. Kat, meanwhile, all about the head and the popping left jab. We're down under 30 seconds in what's turned out to be a competitive round after the wild start. Cole again landing a short flurry. Graham slips away behind the left and there's the bell. Close to Cole."

Tess: "Nice recovery from a rough first minute."

ROUND TWO:

O'Dell: "Second begins with Graham here, there, and everywhere. She's moving beautifully, dancing, bouncing, snapping that jab. Cole trying to put a little pressure on, but she's having very little success right now. Can't run Kat to ground, can't get square, and, as a result, can't get off very much."

Tess: "This is the kind of thing that makes you wonder about why Graham hasn't broken through in a big way. I've said this before. There's one fighter in the entire FCBA that can match that kind of athleticism, and she's sitting beside us..."

McCarthy: "I KNOW you're talking about SCABBO, but you SHOULD be talking about ME..."

O'Dell: "And that kind of speed causing serious problems even for a girl as athletic as Cole. Chezza having real problems dealing right now, and, unlike in the last round, Graham doing more than popping the odd jab. She's a bit busier. Not a huge difference, but enough that she's out-pointing Cole at the moment."

Cassie: ''Cheryl beginning to look a little vexed here. She just can't FIND Kat."

O'Dell: "And, it's hard to hit something that isn't THERE. And, right now, Graham is simply not there. She's everywhere else. Kat with that jab and circle, stops, pops, reverses, circles again. Cole stepping forward, but Kat circling back and away. Cheryl with the hands high, but can't get off. Five seconds left. Bell. Fairly close again, but Kat."

Tess: "Even at 19."

ROUND THREE:

O'Dell: "Third begins the way the second ended. Graham just going to leg here, and, at the moment, not a thing Cheryl can do about it. Cole moving the feet well. She's trying to match footwork, trying to cut the ring, but Kat just too quick, moving too well. She's a step ahead of Cheryl at every point here..."

Cassie: "And, like Tess said, this kind of thing, what she's doing, you can't teach this. You can either do it, or you can't."

O'Dell: "And, Graham most certainly can. She's leading Cole a merry chase here, making her move constantly, snapping out those jabs, dancing all over the place, bouncing and most definitely misbehaving. Chezza looking frustrated at the moment. Her corner shouting at her to keep at it, keep applying the pressure..."

Tess: "But, right now, this is like pressuring WATER. Squeeze as tightly as you like, but it's going to keep slipping through your fingers."

O'Dell: "And, Kat doing PLENTY of slipping right now. Cole throwing some stuff at long range, but Kat's chin always an inch or two away from the flying leather. Cole stepping in and TACKLING Graham back to the ropes now, but Kat tying her up. Forcing a break. Right back to the war of movement. Ten seconds left in the third. Graham bouncing and circling and jabbing and there's the bell. Kat close again."

McCarthy: "29-28, Graham."

ROUND FOUR:

O'Dell: "Fourth begins with Graham turning the speed UP, if you can believe that. She's pushing pace now. All motion. She's everywhere and nowhere. Stopping, popping, bouncing away from Cole. Cheryl no time to react to anything right now. She's not just a step behind, she's two or three."

Tess: "You simply can NOT replicate the kind of fast-twitch muscle fiber this girl has. Unless you're Cassie Scerbo. This is fun to watch."

O'Dell: "Unless you're Cheryl Cole, or a Chezza fan, because, at the moment, things are not going well for the Geordie beauty. She's trying to get something going here, but things are getting ugly. She's missing a ton. She's short. She's late. And, when she misses, the result is a face full of leather from Kat."

Cassie: "Graham doing the hit and run perfectly. She's waiting just long enough to get three or four punches off and then she's gone."

O'Dell: "Cole's got a little blood going from the nose now. Nothing major, but just a result of a lot of punches adding up. Graham not exactly taking her to the woodshed right now, but there's a ton of volume landing, while Cole's getting very little on target. Ten seconds to go in this one and Kat simply going to dance it out. There's the bell. Graham solid."

McCarthy: "39-37, Graham. But, this is Graham. She'll find a way to blow this."

ROUND FIVE:

O'Dell: "Fifth begins the way the fourth ended. Graham on the move, hitting and running, but she's hitting hard and fast. Cole getting touched up repeatedly, can't get much going. And, it's definitely understandable, but Cole's getting a little frustrated here, Mac. She's trying sloppy stuff from bad spots..."

McCarthy: "Which is just leading to her getting hit more and SHE'S HURT! Graham hurt Cole with that flurry!"

O'Dell: "No doubt about it! Cheryl wobbled and it was a straight right hand that did most of the damage! Cole covering up. Graham going to work, battering the Brit with blizzards of punches. Kat looking to finish here, slowly working Cole back to the ropes and now really upping the fire rate."

Cassie: "Cheryl keeping that guard up, rolling with the punches, but she needs to do something offensively here or the referee is going to step in."

O'Dell: "Cole realizing that, firing back, but mostly missing and opening herself up to more punishment. Kat ROCKS her with a right hand! Referee almost stepped in right then, but Cole clinches, holding on both literally and figuratively. Ten seconds left in the round. Graham shoving off, lands one final flurry and there's the bell. Kat. Wide."

Tess: "49-46 now. Graham's built herself a nice lead at the half."

ROUND SIX:

O'Dell: "Sixth begins with more bouncin' and misbehavin' from Kat, and she's doing a TON of misbehaving right now. She's giving it the shuffle, dancing around, popping that jab out, generally making Cole look pretty bad. Chezza still getting the legs back, trying to square up, match footwork, trying to catch Kat, but can't get it done."

Tess: "Graham doing everything but sticking her chin out like Sugar Ray Leonard..."

O'Dell: "AND COLE TACKLES HER TO THE ROPES! Cheryl just charges Graham and almost took her to the mat! Cole now swinging away as Kat tries to tie up and SHE ROCKS HER! Cole hurt Graham with that right hand! Now the Brit going all in trying to end this thing. Graham covering up, ducking the head, tight earmuff..."

McCarthy: "Cole needs to stay on her here. She'll wilt!"

O'Dell: "That's clearly what Chezza's thinking. She's all OVER Graham. Solid uppercut there hurt Kat again! Cole winging away with everything she's got, but Kat holding on here, countering with the odd hook, running clock, and she's going to get it run out, looks like. Five seconds left and there's the bell. Cole wide. But Kat survives."

Cassie: "58-56 for Graham with four to go."

ROUND SEVEN:

O'Dell: "Seventh begins with Cole pressuring. Graham giving ground. Clearly doesn't have the legs she had in the last round right now, though they're looking somewhat better than they did. Cole trying to take advantage, stepping to, cutting the ring, winging away with hard stuff. Cheryl missing more than she's hitting..."

Cassie: "Doesn't matter, though. She has to keep on Kat before those legs come all the way back and she's chasing again."

O'Dell: "Exactly Cheryl's thinking, it appears. Cole taking some hard counters, but she's not bothered. She's pushing all the chips into the center of the table in a big way, going for it all right here. Good flurry by Cole backs Kat up. Cheryl trying to pin her to the ropes, Kat slips away and IS DROPPED WITH A RIGHT HOOK! Cole caught her!"

McCarthy: "Got her moving the wrong way and landed it on the button, Jenny!"

O'Dell: "Kat dropped to hands and knees. Chezza to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. Six. Graham shaking the head. Trying to clear it. Seven. Getting to her feet but STUMBLING AND DROPPING BACK TO HANDS AND KNEES! Eight. Nine. TEN! It's over! Graham can't get off her knees, and your winner by KO7 in comeback fashion is Cheryl Cole!"

Tess: "Wow! What a comeback for Cole...and, something else. Something Wiz really hates. A come-from-ahead loss for Graham."

McCarthy: "And LCA ties the stable war at 1-1. Woo Hoo!"

AFTER:

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

Tess: "I have our winner, Cheryl Cole, and, Cheryl..."

Cheryl: "ONE of us came to FIGHT tonight! One came to dance around here like this is some ballroom competition, and one came to FIGHT!"

Tess: "It took some time, but...."

Cheryl: "Sooner or later, I was going to get her. She couldn't run away from me all night. Sooner or later, I knew I'd run her to ground, and, when I did, she couldn't handle my power. I want STEWART! I want STEWART next! You hear me? I know you're back there, Stewart! You're next!"
