"IFFI RETURN AT THE AYSLUM PPV"

BEFORE:

"She's big and she can hit," says Angie with a smile. "Well. I'm big and I can hit, too. So, let's see what happens."

"She's obviously got the experience on me," says Antje with a nod. "So, this isn't going to be easy. But. I'll get the job done."

ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusik' by Mozart, and here comes the stunning Bazz redhead, Angie Everhart!"

Cassie: "And, what Angie said pre-fight is true. Both of these girls are big. And both of them can hit. And, I suspect most folks doing any wagering on this thing are taking the under on rounds."

O'Dell: "They just might be. Angie into the ring and helped off with the robe. Wearing that blue two-piece we've seen before and showing she's still in great shape in the bargain. And, that's 'Heads Will Roll' by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and that means 'The Scandinavian Stunner' Antje Utgaard, is on her way to ringside..."

Tess: "Antje's gotten off to a good start for Front Street, no question about that. But, Angie's as big a challenge as she's faced in her young career."

O'Dell: "Utgaard into the ring. She's helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve. Wearing that Stars and Stripes bikini we've seen before..."

Tess: "And this girl can FILL OUT a bikini..."

McCarthy: "She MIGHT make 'Playboy'..."

Cassie: "Siri, call Mac's eye doctor. She needs to have those cataracts dealt with..."

McCarthy: "I do NOT...you LITTLE..."

O'Dell: "Now, calm down, Mac. The ladies are about ready and it's time to get some picks. Tess favors Antje. Mac?"

McCarthy: "CATARACTS! I'll have you know my vision is PERFECT..."

Cassie: "Then, why have we seen you wearing GLASSES?"

McCarthy: "All part of my 'hot scientist' look!"

Tess: "OK. Let's hold on a second and see if Mac calling herself a scientist causes the universe to implode. No? OK. Go ahead, Jenny."

McCarthy: "SHUT. UP. WALMARRRRRRRRRRTTTTTT!"

O'Dell (sighing): "Drink up, boys. And, let's get a PICK, Mac..."

McCarthy: "Everhart is older than Utgaard, but age is nothing but a number. Angie!"

O'Dell: "Cassie, do I have to ask?"

Cassie: "I'm going with Big Red!"

O'Dell: "And, here we go. To the shock of absolutely no one, these two long, strong welters set up at range and prepare to go the gun platform route. When you have the kind of range and power these two do, this is usually where you want to be, where you can extend on punches and get max power on them."

McCarthy: "And, this is a situation where Everhart's experience can pay off. Because you don't just want to stand in front of a girl with this kind of power."

O'Dell: "Correct. The idea is to show some angles, move the feet. Move the head. Move the hands. And, that's exactly what we're seeing from both fighters here in the early going. Lot of jabs, looking to locate, looking to create openings for right hands. Nobody rushing anything, and that's a good idea, because you do NOT want to leave yourself wide open to a stiff counter."

Tess: "You make that mistake against one of these two, it might be the last one you make on the evening."

O'Dell: "Down the stretch we come. Both fighters sticking with the left hand. The odd right coming in as they begin to put punches together. Plenty of feeling out going on, another good idea when you're dealing with this kind of one-punch power. Ten seconds to go in the first, and we're going to box right to the bell. Close. Angie."

Cassie: "And, Big Red gets the early 10-9 lead."

ROUND TWO:

O'Dell: "Second begins at long range again. Angie showing excellent movement here. She hasn't lost much in the legs category, at least in the early going. Of course, take a look at those legs and you won't be surprised. Utgaard staying patient, and that's going to be a key for her, not just today, but for some time in her development."

McCarthy: "Absolutely. One of the things you have to stress to a young fighter, especially one with a lot of power, is to let the fight come to you."

O'Dell: "And, Antje not forcing anything. Sticking with the fight plan. Work the jab, create the openings, drop the right and SHE DROPS ONE AND NEARLY DROPS ANGIE! Utgaard a straight right hand and Everhart's hurt!. Front Streeter immediately all in, winging away at the redhead, driving her right back to the ropes..."

Cassie: "Getting a little sloppy, though. Needs to be careful."

O'Dell: "Angie trying to counter, but she's getting suppressed by volume right now. Utgaard swinging away, trying to finish this thing. Everhart keeping the guard high, jabbing back in spots, holding on. Utgaard goes a little body now, then back upstairs. Fifteen seconds to go in the round. Good right from Antje, but Everhart ships it, and there's the bell. Utgaard wide."

Tess: "And, all even at 19."

ROUND THREE:

O'Dell: "Back to action in the third, and the Front Streeter coming forward again. She's looking to back the redhead up, get physical with her, but it's not working. Angie firming up, firing back, and we're getting some serious exchanges of heavy fire right now! The youngster trying to take over this fight and Everhart not having it!"

McCarthy: "Her corner should be telling Utgaard to get back to the fight plan. She's not going to clean up here, so there's no reason to take chances."

O'Dell: "Doesn't look like that's in the cards. Both fighters looking to establish something right now, and neither one going to let that happen. They are throwing absolute BOMBS at one another in the middle of the ring! Not sloppy. Defense still being played, but both fighters committing on everything right now..."

Cassie: "And, if you think Angie is too old to do this anymore, you'll note this is a 5'10", 150 pound welter who hits like a truck, and she can't back Angie up."

O'Dell: "Thirty seconds left in what's been a brutally physical third round. No back off from either fighter. Angie dipping, ripping backed Utgaard up a step. Antje fires right back, a solid combination and a NICE right hand counter from Everhart. Girls going to bang away right to the bell and there it is. Wow. What a round. Close to Angie."

Tess: "And, Everhart back in the lead 29-28."

ROUND FOUR:

O'Dell: "Fourth starts with a little less aggression. Fighters getting back to the gun platform stuff. Both working those long left jabs again, but we're seeing more right hands now, as the fighters are putting punches together much better. Solid defensive work, too, as hands and heads moving very well along with the feet."

Cassie: "Angie's in great shape, but, obviously, she's giving up a few years here. Slowing this pace is something she's going to want to do."

O'Dell: "Good point, and she's doing that effectively right now. Redhead does a great job of getting her hands back, keeping them up, not giving the younger woman much to look at. Utgaard pretty accurate, though. She's a Front Street welter. She's not all punching power. She's athletic and she can box..."

Tess: "And, that's something Wiz stresses with his big girls. He doesn't want just sluggers. He wants girls who are two-way fighters."

O'Dell: "And, it looks like he's got one in Antje. Good exchange there and a solid right from Everhart. BOOMING RIGHT, UTGAARD AND DOWN GOES ANGIE! Oh, what a shot from the brunette and Everhart crashed to her back! Antje to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. Six. Angie actually rolling over here! Trying to get to her feet after that. She's up at eight but stumbles back to her knees! Nine. TEN! It's OVER! And your winner by KO4 is 'The Scandinavian Stunner', Antje Utgaard!"

McCarthy: "Lucky punch. Everhart was beating her."

AFTER:

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

Tess: "I've got our winner, Antje Utgaard, and, Antje, lots of power punches exchanged in that one!"

Antje: "Well, that's what you get against a girl like her. She can really hit and she's a veteran who knows what she's doing. It was going to be a war in there."

Tess: "And, you won it."

Antje (nodding): "I knew I could, as long as I stuck to the plan and didn't let her walk me into something. But, I'll tell you, she can still fight. And, not just a little bit."
