Can they go the distance?

It is the middle of round ten of this scheduled twelve round fight and both fighters are looking strong. They both received assistance in their corners this round from new and old friends. The alone time this week for both fighters has seemed to rekindle a mutual respect and, dare I say, love for one another. They took this round to "feel" each other out and there was a lot of hugging and dancing out on the mat. We predict that this round will produce a lot of the same as they gear up and figure out how to deliver that knockout punch in the final two rounds. Both fighters will be rejuvenated in between rounds ten and eleven when they will receive that added boost with the arrival of fighting legends, Lizzy, "The Teen with Tude" and Mikaela, "The Mood Swinger". Both of these fighters have fought each other numerous times and have even tried to spar with Ken and Theresa only to find themselves grounded back to reality. The "Mood" and "Tude" may come back in need of attitude adjustments after being at Camp G.A.I.N. (Grandma Always Is Nicer) for two weeks. One is claiming to be homesick while the other one is holding out and refuses to show any sign of weakness. This reporter wonders where she gets that from.

Getting back to the fight at hand and a quick review of the highlights of round nine. Theresa had the upper hand this round showing her agility and fancy footwork. She danced around Ken like he was a statue. Ken usually is solid as a rock, but this round he had his foundation shaken and started to show signs of crumbling. By the end of the round he had gotten back into his groove and came back to his true form. Near the end of the round Theresa had some equipment malfunction when she had a blowout in the rear of her shoe. She tried to call Kens corner to get a spare, but Ken only heard "blowout". He tried to call her back and to no avail with all the noise in the arena. Luckily she text Kendra who is over in Kens corner and let him know that she had a replacement and a passerby was changing the blown shoe. Theresa did not get home until late in the round. She decided it was time to clean out her corner and got rid of a lot of dead weight by having a "garage sale". Items that were laying around not carrying their weight were traded or gone. Ken was seen in his corner between rounds practicing his golf swing. That is the way he ended the ninth round and how he started the beginning of the tenth round.

There will be fireworks at the end of round ten, but they are not going to come from these two fighters. We hope to see these two fighters finish strong and that they both walk away to fight another day. Ken has tried to land a couple of windmill punches, but Theresa has kept her guard up. Theresa started out this round a little sluggish after drinking some outdated orange juice. Ken is still looking puffy and red eyed, but he claims it to be allergies. Will there be a victor in this bout or do both of these fighters walk away with their own personal victories? Both fighters have shown signs of greatness and moments of weakness. You will be the judge of the winner as you vote in the final twelth round. GO KEN!! Hey, no bias or bribing of the judges. GO THERESA!!! Now stop that!
