BEFORE:

"Well," says Lindsey with a shake of the head. "Things have not gone well in the FCBA so far. But. I'm learning every time out. I'm getting better. And, tonight, I'm going to get to the winner's circle for the first time...and surprise a lot of people in the process."

"I know it's kind of one of those things people say," says Allison. "She's better than her record. But, this girl IS better than her record. She's not good enough to beat ME, though, as she's about to find out."

ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "Back at ringside, and that's 'Coconut Skins' by Damien Rice, one of the favorites of the young lady coming to the ring right now, the lovely Lindsey Morgan of the CW's 'The 100'!"

McCarthy: "This isn't a bad song. Not bad at all. I'm shocked. Usually, the music here is terrible, but I like this Rice guy..."

O'Dell: "Well, he IS Irish..."

McCarthy: "I KNEW it!"

O'Dell: "Morgan down the aisle and into the ring. Helped off with the robe and...well. That's a red bikini right there. An interesting choice considering..."

Oh, the shark, babe

Has such teeth, dear...

McCarthy: "Unbelievable! UNbelievable! After all these years, the STEALERY continues!"

Tess: "BFF, is it worth reminding her that Wiz BOUGHT the rights to the song?"

Cassie: "Why bother? We tell her every time and she still threatens to..."

McCarthy: "I'll SUE! Siri, call my lawyer!"

O'Dell (sighing): "That, of course, is 'Mack The Knife' by Bobby Darin, and that can only mean that Allison 'Mack The Knife' Mack is on her way to the ring..."

McCarthy: "Mack The FRAUD, you mean! She stole my nickname and my music and my gimmick and everything ELSE..."

O'Dell: "Mack into the ring. She's wearing that black robe featuring the gleaming silver knife with a single drop of blood dripping from the tip. Helped off with that by Jewel and Neve and there's that blood red bikini she favors, and that's what I was talking about. Going to be dueling red bikinis tonight..."

McCarthy: "But, no contest in the disrobe. Morgan HAS a decent body, unlike Mack the FRAUD..."

O'Dell: "Ladies about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess favors Allison. Mac?"

McCarthy: "Even a girl without an FCBA win can beat that PHONY! Morgan!"

O'Dell: "Cassie?"

Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"

O'Dell: "Here we go. Morgan all motion early, using those legs to bounce around the ring. Game plan here is clearly to stick and move, and she's doing it plenty well right now. Kind of looks a little bit like a bantam Cassie Scerbo right now, though, of course, not quite that quick..."

Cassie: "Of COURSE not..."

O'Dell: "But, Lindsey plenty quick enough at the moment. She's all over the place, snapping jabs, circling, dancing, making Allison work hard to stalk and try to cut the ring down. Mack not having much success at that at the moment, though she's not exactly pushing the issue, preferring to do a little recon here."

McCarthy: "That and she's SLOW. Mack has ALWAYS been slow. She's not quick like the REAL Mac The Knife!"

O'Dell: "Morgan not just running around here, though, she's piling up some points while she's doing it. Getting that jab on, stopping to pop, then getting back moving. This is very good stuff from Lindsey at the moment. Allison, meanwhile, not hurt, but not getting much done, though, again, it's mainly recon on her part right to the bell. There it is, and Morgan easily claims the first."

Tess: "And, the 10-9 advantage."

ROUND TWO:

O'Dell: "Second round begins with Mack more aggressive. She's moving now to cut the ring and bring Morgan to battle. Lindsey knew this was coming and she's handling it pretty well, keeping the jab going, working the legs, circling, making the blonde work hard to track her down..."

McCarthy: "If Morgan can keep this up a few rounds, Mack will wear out. She's never in great shape..."

Cassie: "Well, she didn't HAVE to be the night she beat you in 30 seconds..."

McCarthy: "YOU LITTLE....I'd been fighting ALL NIGHT AGAINST AN ALL STAR TEAM...and it was THIRTY-SIX SECONDS!"

Tess: "And, she didn't have any trouble going nine the night she knocked you out on that Playboy card..."

McCarthy: "YOU...I...that was a SURPRISE FIGHT! I hadn't even been TRAINING! Your hat is STUPID! And, SHUT UP, WALMART!"

O'Dell: "Drink up, boys as we head down the stretch in the second. Game of cat and mouse continuing to be played here. Allison able to cut and close in spots, score when she can. Morgan scoring when they're fighting in open ocean. Both girls getting some of what they want and the result is a good, back-and-forth stanza. Five seconds left. Mack with a couple of body shots and there's the bell. Close to Allison."

Cassie: "And, we're even at 19 after two."

ROUND THREE:

O'Dell: "Into the third now, and it looks like the pattern is set. Morgan moving and Mack stalking, and, again, Lindsey showing plenty of ability to box outside. Good hand speed. Putting together punches well. Mack catching some of it in the gloves as she works forward, got that head tucked as she cuts the ring and works body."

McCarthy: "Again, this is an excellent plan against Mack. She's slow and not in shape and you can wear her out with this if you're athletic, which SHE isn't..."

Tess: "Which, again, brings up the question of why she babified YOU the last two times you fought..."

McCarthy: "Says a woman with a bowl of FRUIT on top of her fat, stupid HEAD!"

Cassie: "Tess lost a bet. She's paying up. There's nothing wrong with that. But, if I were you, I wouldn't call my BFF stupid AGAIN...because, Brenda Song could be ANYWHERE in this arena..."

McCarthy: "Are you THREATENING me, you LITTLE..."

Cassie: "I'm just explaining the reality of the situation to you. Brenda could be ANYwhere doing ANYthing, so I'd choose my next words carefully..."

McCarthy: "You ARE threatening me! I'll sue! Siri, call my lawyer!"

O'Dell (sighing): "Still three more fights after this one. I've GOT to get more money in my next contract, because, the antacid and blood pressure med costs alone are eating up my last raise. ANYway, we're heading down the stretch in another close, competitive round. Morgan in open canvas, jabbing, circling. Mack cuts, bangs body, Morgan slips away, and there's the bell. Lindsey by a cat's whisker."

Tess: "And, the brunette's back on top, 29-28."

ROUND FOUR:

O'Dell: "Morgan on her bicycle to begin the fourth. Brunette not showing any signs of fatigue from all the movement. Beginning to think she can dance all night. Mack again working the feet, looking to match footwork, cut the ring, bring Lindsey to battle where she can use the heavier hands."

McCarthy: "All Mack can do is that kind of sloppy brawling. When she's in with a BOXER, someone who understands the art and science of the sweet science, she's in trouble."

O'Dell: "Allison cutting the ring, going body. Morgan tying up and MACK ROCKING HER WITH A SHORT LEFT UPPERCUT! Lindsey stumbles, nearly goes down, and Allison going all in immediately. Mack just PUMMELING the brunette back into the ropes, letting her have it with both hands..."

Cassie: "Morgan's impressed some so far, let's see how she handles this..."

O'Dell: "Brunette leaning back into the cables, keeping the guard high, putting the body on sale. Mack buying some of it cheap, but concentrating upstairs where she's landing heavy shot. Ref looking in, but Morgan doing enough to survive here. She'll run out the clock. There's the bell. Mack wide, Lindsey still on her feet."

Tess: "And, we're even at 38."

ROUND FIVE:

O'Dell: "Mack looking to finish as we start the fifth. She's coming forward with the head tucked, she's in that quarter crouch, picking off the jabs Lindsey's throwing to try to slow her down. Morgan giving ground, trying to stay in space, but Allison cutting her off and bringing her to battle..."

Cassie: "Mack really DIGGING that body right now, Jenny."

O'Dell: "That she is. Morgan trying to tie her up in there, but the blonde powering out of it, backs Morgan up with a left hook, digs a right to the body, another left hook and a BLISTERING RIGHT HAND AND DOWN GOES MORGAN! Mack with a booming right and Lindsey hits the canvas like a ton of bricks!"

McCarthy: "Get up! Get up! Don't you stay down there and let this FRAUD win! Get UP!"

O'Dell: "Allison to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Morgan not moving a muscle, ladies. Six. Seven. Not a single twitch from the brunette since she hit the canvas. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! That quickly, it's all over! And your winner by KO5 is Allison..."

McCarthy: "Don't you DARE...."

Tess: "'Mack The Knife' Mack!"

McCarthy: "Shut UP, Walmart!"

O'Dell: "Drink up, boys!"|

AFTER:

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

Tess: "I have our winner, Allison Mack, and, Allison, this girl showed some movement and boxing ability early."

Allison: "Sure did. Like I said, she's better than her record. That being said, she's not in my league. Nothing against the girl. It's just that very, very few girls ARE in my league."

Tess: "You've had a couple of tough results lately, some overtime losses and the like. Is this the first step toward you getting back in the title picture at bantam?"

Allison: "That's exactly what it is. The belts are the goal. Lots of work to do, but, like you say, this was the first step."
