FOXY BOXERS AT THE ASYLUM

BEFORE:

"It's nice to get another chance here at Asylum," says Rosamund with smile. "It was a near thing last time. This time, I plan to get the job done."

"She's dangerous," says Anna with a nod. "We all saw the fight against Swan, and we know how physical Serinda is. You have to bring your 'A' game against Rosamund. Fortunately, I always bring my 'A' game."

ROUND ONE:

O'Dell: "Back at ringside and that's 'Die Another Day' by Madonna, and here comes one of the stars of that film, Bond Girl Rosamund Pike!"

Tess: "WHY weren't you a Bond Girl again, Mac?"

McCarthy: "Oh, no. You aren't getting me with THAT one again..."

Cassie: "Well, it's not too late. You can always be 'The Geriatric Bond Girl'..."

McCarthy: "I wouldn't want to play a girl named Jeri! I hate that name!"

O'Dell(sighing): "Pike, of course, representing Foxfire Atlantic. She's into the ring and helped off with the robe to reveal that eggshell bikini she wore the last time she was here, and that's 'The Pain and the Passion' by Midnight Oil and here comes 'The Aussie Enforcer', Anna Torv!"

McCarthy: "NOW we're talking. A REAL fighter!"

O'Dell: "As usual, Anna taps glove to fist with Mac on the way to the ring. She climbs in and is helped off with the robe by Jewel and Neve and she's wearing that black two-piece she prefers for the occasion. Ladies about ready, so let's get the picks. Tess favors Anna. Mac?"

McCarthy: "You KNOW I'm picking Torv..."

O'Dell: "Cassie?"

Cassie: "I agree with Tess!"

O'Dell: "And there's the bell. Torv right forward behind that Front Street jab. Pike not going to be hard to find. The Foxfire Atlantic blonde wants to stand her ground and do battle. Anna quickly getting in rhythm now, putting punches together..."

McCarthy: "This is why I say Torv is the best fighter Front Street has. Technically, she's as good as any light in the world. See how quickly she gets into what she wants to do? No wasted time, just getting after this girl."

O'Dell: "She is, at that, and she's thrown Pike onto the defensive. Rosamund being backed up and forced to cover up. Anna's got it going with both hands, and Pike having trouble even getting opportunities to counter."

Cassie: "And that's a problem. Rosamund needs to get off. Right now, Anna's hitting batting practice out there."

O'Dell: "She is, indeed, and she's giving Pike a thrashing. Torv double-taps the jab, drops a solid right hand, goes body with the left, takes a slide step, lands a good right hook. She's taking the Brit to the woodshed as the final seconds tick off. There's the bell and it's a wide first to Torv."

Tess: "It's only worth a 10-9 lead on the cards, but that was impressive stuff."

ROUND TWO:

O'Dell: "We begin the second and Torv again wants to work forward. Pike stepping in now, tying Anna up. Doesn't want to give Torv space. Anna punches free and the fighters are working inside, banging away body and head in close quarters."

Cassie: "Pike's renegotiated terms, and, after that last round, it's a good idea."

O'Dell: "Both fighters getting work done in tight. Lots of body stuff, but plenty upstairs as well. Torv not working to get space. She's willing to fight in here if that's what Rosamund wants to do, and it clearly is..."

McCarthy: "Torv doesn't have to have space. She can fight you and beat you a lot of different ways."

O'Dell: "And she's comfortable doing a lot of different things as well. For Pike, though, she's able to hold her own on these terms. She's not getting a licking like she did last round. Rosamund getting off and scoring. Anna doing the same, but it's good, two-way stuff to the bell. Close round. I think Pike."

Tess: "Which evens it at 19."

ROUND THREE:

O'Dell: "Third begins with Torv working forward and Rosamund stepping to and we're back in the phone booth. Both blondes quickly getting busy like they did in the second, getting work done both upstairs and down..."

Tess: "I've got to admit, I'm surprised Anna isn't trying to get space here. She did so well boxing at range in the first..."

O'Dell: "TORV A RIGHT HAND AND DOWN GOES PIKE!"

McCarthy: "That answer your question, Walmart?"

O'Dell: "Quick, short right cross and Rosamund dropped to her back! Count at three. Four. Five. Six. Pike sits up. Seven. Eight. She beats the count and will take the mandatory. Referee going to let this one continue and Torv right to work. Jabbing Pike backward now. Rosamund on unsteady legs, giving ground, keeping the hands up..."

Cassie: "Circling, though. Not just going back to the ropes, which is where she doesn't want to be."

O'Dell: "Absolutely right, and she IS doing a good job of moving to avoid getting trapped. Pike jabbing back some now, seems to be shaking off the right hand and DOWN SHE GOES!"

McCarthy: "Turn out the lights!"

O'Dell: "Overhand right from Torv and Pike dropped to her back again. Count at three. Four. Five..."

McCarthy: "He can count to a hundred..."

O'Dell: "Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. TEN! It's OVER! And your winner by KO3 is 'The Aussie Enforcer' Anna Torv!"

AFTER:

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

Tess: "I have our winner, Anna Torv, and, Anna, that was pretty impressive in there..."

Anna: "Thanks, Tess. I didn't want to mess around with her. I saw that fight with Swanny and I know how dangerous she is. I got a chance to get her out of there, and I wasn't going to make a mistake."

Tess: "I know you've got your eye on the titles, but you've got a stablemate holding the belts and several others in the running..."

Anna: "I don't worry about that stuff. I just do my job in the ring and let management figure out the rest."
