By Lyle Fitzsimmons - TAMPA, Fla. – Sitting on a table along the ring apron, Chevelle Hallback smiled into the would-be camera, took a cue from a non-existent director and delivered her lines with veteran aplomb.
“I protect my teeth in there with this,” she said, holding a battered mouthpiece and gesturing toward ongoing sparring action over her left shoulder. “But I protect them on the outside with this.”
Though her opposite hand was empty and not a cue card in sight, it wasn’t hard to imagine the exchange unfolding on a big-city soundstage as Hallback pitched her favorite toothpaste.
Instead, in the glitz-free bowels of a hangar-like gym, her scripts remain on indefinite stand-by.
“I have it all figured out,” she said. “I practice in front of the mirror every day.
“They won’t even need to bring in a writer or anything. I’ve got the whole thing stored up in my head.”
All that’s lacking at this point is the opportunity.
And to hear Hallback tell it… that, too, is just a matter of time.
The Floridian can seize the moment on March 26 in Albuquerque, where she’ll face old foe Holly Holm – a winner in their first go-round three years ago – for the WIBA’s world title at 140 pounds. [Click Here To Read More]
