BEFORE:

"Oh, I know. I've got a motivated Anna on my hands," says a smiling Jennifer. "She's all fired up because she lost down in Australia, so that's bad news for me. Then again, there's no PRESSURE on me. I'M not supposed to win. But. If I were Torv, I'd sure be worried about being upset twice in a row. So. The news isn't ALL bad."

"I've GOT news for Jennifer," says Anna, without a hint of a smile. "And it IS all bad."

ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "Back at ringside and...wow. That's 'Power And The Passion' by Midnight Oil and Anna Torv coming down first here, Mac!"

McCarthy: "Anna's been itching to get back in the ring since Australia. She's not going to wait any longer than she has to!"

O'Dell: "And she's wasting no time getting down the aisle. Slapping glove to hand with Mac as usual. Climbing in. Helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve to reveal the black bikini...and speaking of 'wasting no time', that's Romeo Void and 'Never Say Never', and here comes Jennifer Finnigan..."

McCarthy: "Interesting fact about Finnigan. She owns a fifth round KO over our current lightweight champion, Rachel Nichols!"

Tess: "Oooh. SOMEone's been doing some research..."

McCarthy: "Sh..."

Tess: "Something to say, Mac?"

McCarthy: "Finnigan into the ring. Helped off with the robe. Wearing a green and gold bikini..."

O'Dell: "Shows off that great pair of legs she has. Ok, ladies. We're about to get down to business. Tess on record as favoring Anna. What say you, Mac?"

McCarthy: "Torv is the best fighter Weirdo has. He ought to be pushing her instead of wasting time with losers like Decker. She didn't fight well in Australia. Happens to the best of us. But she'll get back on track tonight."

O'Dell: "Again both ladies agree. And there's the bell for round one. Anna immediately to that long, piston left hand..."

Tess: "Front Street Jab..."

McCarthy: "It's a JAB! All fighters have one!"

Tess: "But most Front Street big girls have the SAME one. A heavy lead that BANGS home, not a snapping jab, but a POUNDING one..."

O'Dell: "And Torv using it to good effect here. All business. Stalking Finnigan. Finding the range. Fitting in a few right hands. Jennifer using the legs. Moving and circling, but not getting off."

McCarthy: "Finnigan is a boxer and she's pretty slick, as she showed against Arterton. But, right now, Anna's suppressing her. Forcing her to the defensive. Jennifer snapping back some jabs, but she can't get her offense going."

O'Dell: "That's because Anna's in rhythm right now. A leads to B which leads to C. Very efficient. Pressuring. Landing some hard shots. Keeping Jennifer on the move. Left hand finding the range again and again. Finnigan still not able to let the hands go."

McCarthy: "This is vintage Torv right here. The Torv girls like Lawless, de la Garza, and Union saw. The same Union that gave Durance a beating, by the way. Relentless. Ruthless."

O'Dell: "And effective. Torv in complete control as the bell rings ending the first."

Tess: "No doubt about that one. 10-9, Anna."

ROUND TWO:

O'Dell: "Second round underway and Torv stalking again behind the left hand. Nice combination by Finnigan! Jennifer slipping a right hand and landing in counter. Anna BANGING that left home in response. Forcing Finnigan backward. Jennifer side steps and rips back with a combination. Anna flurries back at the Canadian! Good back and forth stuff here, Mac!"

McCarthy: "Finnigan getting some offense going. Using some angles now. Trying to disrupt Anna with her footwork. Torv still finding the range with the left, but Finnigan finding spots to punch from."

O'Dell: "Exactly, Mac. Jennifer has quick hands. She's very slick. And she's using those strengths plus those legs to generate some offense. Torv still stalking and pressuring, though. Using that left jab to set up right hands. Scoring with both."

McCarthy: "Finnigan responding with flurries of her own. Side stepping, bobbing, getting her hands going."

O'Dell: "Torv turning up the heat down the stretch. Backing Jennifer up. Finnigan reversing and circling to the bell. Good, competitive round."

Tess: "Certainly was. Anna's round, though."

McCarthy: "Much closer than the first, but Torv won it and has a 20-18 lead."

ROUND THREE:

O'Dell: "Third round underway and Torv again forward working that left hand. Finnigan again using the legs, lots of movement, forcing Anna to pursue..."

McCarthy: "RIGHT HAND, TORV! DOWN GOES FINNIGAN!"

O'Dell: "Oh, what a right cross! High on the left cheek. Sent Jennifer crashing to her back. Anna to a neutral corner. Finnigan struggling to her feet at seven. Referee gives her the mandatory, and here comes Anna!"

McCarthy: "Watch Torv NOW, Jenny. Watch how reacts when she has her girl hurt. She doesn't rush. Doesn't force anything. Just goes back to work."

O'Dell: "And that's just what she's doing, backing Finnigan into the ropes and banging away. Jennifer covering up and Anna thumping her to the body in response. Jennifer clinches. Anna shoves her off and gets busy again. Splitting the gloves with a left. Banging a right to the side of the head. Finnigan trying to jab and slide along the ropes to escape, but Anna keeping her pinned..."

McCarthy: "Torv looking for the shot that will end it, but she's not forcing it. She's taking her points and being patient."

O'Dell: "Finnigan doing well to survive here. Keeping the guard high. Moving the head and shoulders. Denying Anna the finisher but taking a beating while doing it. There's the bell ending the third, and it's a big round for Anna."

Tess: "30-26 through three. And this is, as Mac pointed out, looking like one of those vintage Anna performances."

ROUND FOUR:

O'Dell: "Fourth round begins with the familiar story. Anna Torv working her left hand, forcing Jennifer Finnigan backward. Finnigan again fighting a war of movement. Showing angles, popping the left hand and sliding right. Anna matching footwork nicely. Getting to her spots. Finding the mark with..."

McCarthy: "RIGHT HAND, TORV! DOWN GOES FINNIGAN!"

O'Dell: "Right cross again! Blows Jennifer to her back. Anna quickly to a neutral corner. Finnigan again struggling to her feet at seven. Referee checking the Canadian carefully as he gives her the mandatory. Going to let it continue..."

Tess: "I get the feeling that it would be better for Jennifer if he didn't..."

McCarthy: "Hit the record button on the DVRs, fans. You're absolutely RIGHT, Walmart..."

Tess: "Wait for it...no. World hasn't ended..."

O'Dell: "No, but Jennifer's looking right into her own personal Gotterdammerung as Anna continues to stalk and punish her. Finnigan beginning to break down under the onslaught. Legs aren't working as well thanks to the beating her body's absorbing as she keeps that guard high. Anna unhurried. Working the left up high and the rights to the body. Finnigan clinching, being shoved off, clinching again. Trying to run clock here and she's managed to run it out. There's the bell ending the fourth and it's yet another big round for Anna Torv."

Tess: "I've got it 40-34 through four. Anna's putting this out of reach and we're still in the first half of the fight."

ROUND FIVE:

O'Dell: "We're into the fifth round now, and Torv even more aggressively after Finnigan now. Jennifer in retreat. Fighting off her back foot. Popping left jabs in Anna's face. Following with right hands, but Torv's walking through them. Using that left to the face then SLAMMING the right hook to the body..."

McCarthy: "RIGHT HAND, TORV! DOWN GOES FINNIGAN!"

O'Dell: "Anna snapped Jennifer's head back with yet another nasty right cross! Finnigan flat on her back as Torv goes to a neutral corner. Referee picking up the count at three. Jennifer rolling to her hands and knees. Pushing to her feet at eight!"

McCarthy: "Give her credit for guts..."

O'Dell: "Referee gives the Canadian the mandatory. Finnigan looking pretty ragged, but he's going to let it continue. Anna right back to work. Not headhunting. Continuing to work the body to try to bring down Jennifer's high guard. Finnigan backed to the ropes. Trying to block and dodge. The legs all but gone now as Torv bangs another shot into her reddening midsection. Jennifer hanging on desperately. Clinching, holding Anna's arms down. Torv punching free to the body. Jennifer wrapping around the Aussie's neck, pulling her head down. Anything she can do to slow down Anna's processing and, again, run some clock."

McCarthy: "Seconds have to seem like DAYS..."

O'Dell: "And there's the end of days. The bell sounds to end the fifth. Another huge round for Anna Torv."

Tess: "50-42, through five. You are hearing that correctly, folks. Anna Torv has built an EIGHT point lead half way through this fight."

ROUND SIX:

O'Dell: "We are ready to go for round six, and Torv again taking comand as she has from the opening bell. Anna pressuring, forcing Finnigan backward, controlling her with that big left hand...AND SENDING HER CRASHING TO THE CANVAS WITH THE RIGHT! DOWN GOES FINNIGAN AGAIN!"

McCarthy: "Not getting up from THAT one! Landed right on the chin and Jennifer rag dolled to her back!"

Tess: "All this talk about Crusades...Finnigan's doing a pretty good impression of a Maltese Cross right now..."

McCarthy: "What are you TALKING about, Walmart? What does an old Bogart movie have to do with anything?"

Tess: "That was 'The Malte...' NeverMIND..."

O'Dell: "Referee's count at six. For those of you who have 'Mac Mixes Up The Symbol Of A Christian Military Order With A Bogart Film', mark your square. Eight. Finnigan unmoving. Nine. Ten! It's OVER. And your winner by KO6, 'The Aussie Enforcer', Anna Torv!"

AFTER:

O'Dell: "Let's go up to the ring and...um...J-Mac!"

McCarthy: "This time MAC THE KNIFE is in the ring, and I have our winner and the best fighter at Front Street, Anna Torv!"

Anna: "Thanks, Mac!"

McCarthy: "You were pretty devastating in there tonight. Trying to send a message after an off night in Australia?"

Anna: "You know, Mac, that's EXACTLY what I was doing. But not to Jennifer. I respect her. And not to the rest of the FCBA's lightweights, either. There's been a lot of talk about 'Elevating' at Front Street lately. So, I've got a question for my management. Is that high enough for you?"
