(Fight Club U.K vs Marti's Maulers)
Intro: The second bout in the career of Lorna Fitzgerald as she takes on former EastEnders cast member Melissa Suffield. Lorna had made her debut against Amanda Holden over a month ago and had pounded the 45 year old over 3 rounds, where she was tested in terms of making the youngster beat up a dear friend of hers. Melissa won her debut impressively then lost to Lacey Turner in a shambles for her and it seemed to end her boxing career as she hasn't been seen since. But Katie Price had heard from her stablemate Lacey Turner that there had been some bad blood between both girls and that she'd be perfect for Katie's scheme to as she has said in the past "make Lorna a real woman and a fighter"
So at a press conference for this bout, the two young blondes came face to face for the first time in years and Melissa was straight on the attack verbally. Lorna looked down to the ground as Suffield tore into her with nasty insults about her weight, her looks and even shoved the smaller girl back. Katie was willing her girl to fight back as Lorna seemed to look up with some fire in her eyes but as Melissa took her heels off on stage and waved her future opponent to fight there and then, Lorna doesn't move and Melissa says "I knew you didn't have the guts, you never have" Gulping, Lorna steps out her heels as she wears a simple pink shirt and jeans, while Melissa is wearing a blue top and skirt. Laughing Melissa kicks her heels off and the two women square up but again Suffield shows no respect by shoving Lorna backwards and walking away as Fitzgerald looks on red faced. The younger girl shouts "come on then bytch" more out of frustration then actually wanting to fight it out on stage. Melissa turns around and replies "wait till we're in the ring bytch and I won't forget this when I drag you kicking and screaming around the ring like I used to in the changing rooms with Jossa laughing at you" Katie finally knows what happened and part of her is over the moon as Lorna has to fight the girl who tormented her on the set of EastEnders and get revenge.
Fight night in London, the crowd is raring to watch two young blondes go to war, especially as Katie paints the feud as the underdog Lorna gets her chance at redemption against the brutal Melissa. Lorna comes out first, she looks a little nervous as she comes out wearing a pink bikini top and tight pink shorts that show her toned frame off. The crowd cheer as home town girl Melissa arrives in a blue bikini top and tight blue shorts as she stares confidently at Lorna, whose trying to stare back hard. As Melissa gets into the ring, she's straight into Lorna's face and the insults fly between the pair till Suffield slaps Fitzgerald with her taped hand. The ref gets between the two before we have a tapped fist fight on our hands and both fighters return to their corners to get their gloves (pink for Lorna, Blue for Melissa) and their gumshields in. The ref signals for the bell to begin 10 rounds of flyweight action.
Round 1: Out come the fighters and quickly Melissa is trying to bully Lorna around the ring with her power as the smaller blonde is forced to fight on the back foot. Anyone whose watched Suffield's first two bouts knows they are all action and this is certainly no different as she snaps the head of Lorna back over a lapse guard. Down goes Lorna! Her chin got caught flush with a right hook and Melissa thinks that's it already as she struts back to a neutral corner. The ref is up to 5 before Lorna starts getting up at is standing at 7 to some shock from Melissa, who gets a massive grin as she bangs her gloves ready to punish this girl even more. Lorna keeps her guard tight after that knock down and Melissa has to work harder to land her punches but looks comfortable as she keeps pressing forward. Fitzgerald just can't find a way through to get her own punches working as she finds herself moved along the ropes with the jab of Suffield. The bell rings with Melissa beaming and saying "I should do this more often" to the crowd. While Kate is telling Lorna where she is going wrong and how to improve on it as the young blonde looks ready to show her rival she's no push over.
Round 2: Melissa continues to arrogantly poke her jab out as she doesn't see Lorna as any kind of threat from all the years they've known each other. But Lorna is starting to make up ground with quick movement to get inside the reach of her opponent to dig her punches into the body. Melissa looks annoyed as she shoves Lorna back, only to be dogged at again by her smaller rival; whose working that body as a four year lay off seems to make Lorna's camp think she hasn't the fitness levels to take this punches. The bigger blonde does manage to create space again and tries to impose her will again on Lorna in what's turning into a hard exchange of punches and Melissa knocks her opponent back again to show the power difference. The bell rings with Melissa still smiling but it's not as wide a smile as before after the fight shown by Lorna.
Round 3: Melissa is back on the front foot but she's been met by a game Lorna, who is proving she's not afraid of her rival one bit. The two are at each other with venomous clubbing punches, blood can be seen coming from a cut under Lorna's right eye. But still she comes forward, attacking that body with all she's worth to the delight of the crowd. Melissa can be seen looking to be breathing harder as the Fight club camp may have found the weakness of the big bruiser. Suffield is still doing some damage with her punches as Lorna just can't get out the way of them as she did easily against Amanda Holden. But her speed is starting to take some form of control of this fight as the once cocky Melissa looks to have had some of that knocked out of her by Lorna. The bell rings with Lorna almost celebrating winning a round against her opponent and Melissa staring coldly at her.
Round 4: Melissa is looking even more worried as she gets tagged under her jugs and she has to take a knee to take a breather as the body shots finally take effect. Looking red faced; probably out of embarrassment more then the actual pain she is in, Melissa is holding her stomach as she waits the count out. As it hits 8, Melissa is up and she tells the ref "let me at that bytch" but he has to do his checks before he let's the fighters go at it. Waving the fighters on, back go Lorna and Melissa with punches flying being two women who still have a lot to learn and this scuffy slugging it out show that. Melissa connects to that eye again with a hard left hook that hurts Lorna as that cut becomes worst and now Suffield has her way back in control of the contest. Lorna ends up on the ropes and has to clinch before she gets knocked down again. The ref is looking closely and that cut and swollen eye of Lorna has him worried as he separates the two and orders her to see the doctor. The doctor gives the cut a quick clean then checks it and warns Lorna to protect it as he'll stop the fight. Luckily she sees the round out but Melissa is looking at that eye like a bullseye now as she plots for the next round.
Round 5 Lorna is desperate as she comes out swinging, showing her lack of experience as the taller Melissa hangs back and counter punches with straights and jabs that aim for that cut. It's not long till the ref has that eye checked again as blood covers the cheek of Lorna and the doctor waves the fight off as the eye is nearly shut completely.
Winner: Melissa Suffield TKO Doctor Stoppage Round 5
After: Lorna looks heartbroken as she heads to her corner after the doctors verdict stopped the fight, Katie Price is up and helps her fighter to her corner. Melissa is doing a lap around the ring as she did what she expected to do and beat Lorna but it was far from as easy as she thought it would be. As she finishes her lap of the ring and is standing in front of Lorna's corner, she goes over at first it appears she is going to be humble in victory. But instead in a move her former character in EastEnders would be proud of, she drags Lorna off the stool she's on by her hair and Katie just watches, as people watch on expecting her to do something. Instead she lets Melissa slap Lorna hard that brings tears to the eyes of Fitzgerald. Then Melissa drags Lorna around by her hair to a roar from the crowd as their girl is humiliating her rival, even if it's most likely the first time it has happened in public but not in private. After doing a crawl of shame around the ring, Lorna collapses face down in tears as Melissa just laughs. "Remember your place bytch!" Roars Melissa as she stomps her bare foot into the back of Lorna to finish proving her point before walking past Price to leave the ring saying "I'd keep her in your gym, she might piss herself next time in the ring" Katie goes over to help Lorna but pundits are asking why she didn't do that when her fighter was being humiliated by her biggest tormentor. She can be heard saying as she lifts Lorna up "use this as a learning curve and you'll beat that bytch and anyone you want soon enough" Lorna doesn't look interested in that as much getting to safety in the locker room so she can sob her eyes out and recover from this in her own way. But as these women's paths will surely meet again as too much bad blood exists for their not to be.
