Undeniably, a spectacle descended upon our hallowed punning grounds as humble heroes clashed cudgels in a colossus of cosmic competition. Yes, ladies and gents, a fresh victor has been exalted high upon the whimsical throne of glory following an exhilarating five-round fiasco aptly likened to a wrestling match between a penguin with a jetpack and a kangaroo on rollerskates.

But then, in what we can only describe as a tomato-y twist of fate, Malone rallied. With meatball might, he pummeled ‘The Blender’ all the way to a fifth, deciding round, leaving the audience hungry for more.
In the knock-out finale, the duo duked it out as if they were fighting over the last piece of bacon at breakfast time. ‘The Blender’, significantly woozy from an earlier pummeling, mustered the strength of a fruit mixer at full power and returned some perfectly pureed punches. However, ‘Meatball’ was on a roll, and he quickly smothered ‘The Blender’s’ sputtering resistance with his chunky, tomato sauce-like determination.
With the sound of the final whistle slashing through the tension-charged air of the arena, a triumphant smile sauced ‘The Meatball’s’ tomato-red face.
