BEFORE:

"No, I didn't get a result my first time here," says Nicola with a shake of the head. "But, that was Chloe Freaking Bennet, a champion. THIS girl is a wannabe, and I'll prove it!"

"Well," says Billie with the hint of a smile, "Chloe definitely IS a champion. As for what I am, Nicola is about to find out."

ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Soul Crusher' by White Zombie, and here comes the star of 'Bates Motel' and 'Our House', the lovely Nicola Peltz!"

McCarthy: "TYPICAL Dancing Hooker Opponent. NO FCBA wins!"

O'Dell: "Peltz wasting no time getting into the ring. Helped off with the robe to reveal that green and white striped number we've seen before. And, that's 'You Should See Me In A Crown' you hear pounding through the arena, and that can only mean that the singer of that song, 'Buxom' Billie Eilish, is on her way to the ring."

Tess: "And, as we keep pointing out, pressure on everyone at Front Street with the ongoing changes, but Eilish has certainly looked like the real deal since she started here at Front Street in January, 2020."

O'Dell: "Billie into the ring and helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve, and the crowd popping for the singer in that emerald number we've seen before. Ladies about ready to go. Time for some picks. Tess likes Billie. Mac?"

McCarthy: "NO FCBA wins! Eilish!"

O'Dell: "Cassie?"

Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"

O'Dell: "Unanimous for the second fight in a row, and Eilish out to make our panel look good. Billie pressuring immediately and Nicola giving ground, working the left hand, creating space with the feet. Peltz managing the pressure very, very well early, getting that jab in the singer's face over and over again..."

Cassie: "Billie getting a little too aggressive here..."

O'Dell: "Eilish coming off a couple of quick wins, may be looking for another one here, but Nicola has different plans. She's keeping the distance she wants with the active left jab and the feet. And, she's following on with hard right hands and having much the better of things here..."

McCarthy: "Kid can't get anything going..."

O'Dell: "At the moment, that's correct. Eilish getting off here and there, but it's all one-punch stuff. Peltz piling up the points as we head into the final seconds of the round. Nice combination by Nicola and then another and there's the bell. No doubt about it. Peltz and wide in the first."

Tess: "And, Nicola grabs the 10-9 lead."

ROUND TWO:

O'Dell: "Second round begins with Eilish slowing her roll a bit, heeding the advice she got in the corner between rounds. She's continuing to pressure, but doing so less aggressively now. She's working forward, moving the head, angling, making herself a more difficult target for the jab..."

Tess: "And, when she can slip past it, she's getting in and getting work done."

O'Dell: "Absolutely is. Peltz, however, still landing the left, still able to create space with the feet, and the result is a good two-way round here. Billie getting the better of things when she can get forward and Nicola scoring more when they're at range. Good right hand, Peltz there..."

McCarthy: "I'm starting to think this Peltz kid can fight a little..."

O'Dell: "Definitely showing something today. Good combination, Nicola. Billie slips in and goes to work on the body. Peltz trying to tie, but Eilish shoves her off and lands a SOLID right hand. Final seconds ticking off. Good right hand again for Billie and there's the bell. Close. Eilish."

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

ROUND THREE:

O'Dell: "Third begins the way the second ended. Billie pressuring soundly. Peltz moving, giving ground, jabbing, looking to enforce distance. Eilish inside to work some body. Nicola ties her up, hangs on, gets a break. Older blonde circles. Jabbing. Billie stalking, working inside again..."

Cassie: "Eilish very athletic, as you know, a former dancer, and you can see that in how well she moves."

O'Dell: "Working some body in there. Again, Peltz ties up and the referee breaks the fighters apart. Nicola back to the jab, but Billie slips it, crowds her, hammers away at the belly and ribs and ROCKS PELTZ WITH A RIGHT UPPIE! Nicola staggered and DROPPED WITH A RIGHT HOOK!"

Tess: "That might do it..."

O'Dell: "Peltz flat on her back as Billie bounces to a neutral corner. Count at three. Four. Five. No movement at all from Nicola. Six. Seven. This is going to be academic. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! A pair of brutal rights and it's OVER and your winner by KO3 is 'Buxom' Billie Eilish!"

McCarthy: "Lucky punch."

AFTER:

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

Tess: "I have our winner, Billie Eilish, and, Billie, another quick win for you..."

Billie (nodding): "She can fight, though. Quick hands, knows what she's doing. You don't want to box her. So, I didn't."

Tess: "Everyone's talking about the big reorg, but I'd guess you don't have much to worry about..."

Billie: "I DON'T worry about it. I come to the gym every day and put my work in. I get better every day and every time I get in the ring. That's all I can control and that's all I worry about."
