BEFORE: Mollie King's rise to the flyweight elite has raised many eyebrows over the last several months even if her ultimate title challenge fell short to the BBU record-holder and P4P dominatrix Jenna Coleman back in April. She then knocked out Nadine Coyle but went into extended hiding during The Saturdays lingering hiatus and allowed bandmate Una Healy to headline the boxing news instead. Still, there's a life after Coleman for anyone in the league and Mollie's return to action fuels the rumours that she plans to tackle the living AWUBA and ACB legend Dannii Minogue come the new year as she arrives in Melbourne ready to blow the doors off Perth-born singer-songwriter Samantha Jade of The X Factor Australia fame.

Samantha Jade wears a navy blue bikini top with white trim and white gloves. Dark brown hair with significant blonde dye tied in a sleek ponytail. Mollie King wears a neon pink bikini set with black trim and black gloves. Long blonde hair straight, tucked behind the ears. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.

Round 1:
Mollie's been away from the ring for the past six months but she's thirsty for some proper action early on and that spells trouble for Samantha who gets caught in a jabbing blizzard during the opening minute and slides back to the ropes in a hectic retreat. However Mollie keeps coming back at her and methodically dissects her high guard for the remainder of the round which leads into an extended cover up display from the Aussie brunette. King gives her no quarter whatsoever and hammers in a series of body shots once she decides to ignore the desperate protection upstairs to run away with a landslide opener. Ugh! Sarah Cumming admires the no-nonsense approach from the English visitor and the Melbourne crowd gets a first-hand taste of a woman that caused the undisputed champion Jenna Coleman so much trouble earlier this season.

Round 2:
Obviously Mollie is a massive upgrade in competition over Keisha Buchanan - and Samantha actually lost to the former Sugababe - but the local spirits remain alive and kicking during the opening minute of the second round as the brunette rips a good series upstairs to briefly tame the English assault. King gets caught over the top as Jade whacks her on the mouth before sliding low on the guts however that's not good enough to throw the blonde visitor off her game plan; Mollie riffles immediate response glancing Samantha's temples and the war of attrition quickly ensues with both girls working on speed dial UNTIL Jade gets busted on the nose and loses her balance amid a wincing agony. Ugh! Should have seen this coming, hun! Mollie yells out in delight as she forces the Aussie singer back but cranks up the jabbing volume with another prolific barrage that caves Jade fully in and sends her butt-in-ropes come the bell. The ref has a hard time separating these two and Mollie's in the brunette's ear after the bell leading into some early jeers from the Melbourne audience.

Round 3:
Samantha tries to hang back in the third and avoids the suicidal war of attrition but Mollie drops the red mist mode herself and acts like a proven veteran to run the tables down on her visibly spooked opponent. This is not your everyday flyweight bash anymore but the English singer knows exactly what she's doing as she plans to lure Jade into a false sense of security. The crowd enoys the brief pause in the blonde's leather storm but the evil look in her eyes tells more than Sarah Cumming can provide for and to make matters worse, Samantha doesn't seem so keen to go after the blonde anymore either. She weathers the storm to live another round but truth be told, King basically allowed her to do that and the fight still hinges on the former BBU title challenger's performance. It's a safe bet like Packers winning the NFC North again.

Round 4:
The Western Bulldogs caused the footy upset by winning it all this season but it's a far cry for Samantha to repeat that heroics tonight. Mollie cranks it up again and the brunette loses her balance in a desperate attempt to fend off the heat, she gets caught with a left hook on the eye and slumps onto the ropes when the fellow singer picks her off from point blank-range thereafter. A couple of swings from the back foot hardly bring the desired solace and King keeps firing away from both sides to render her opponent completely frozen in a dangerous spot. Actually Jade does really well to hang on for this long as she takes plenty of abuse and Mollie has decked Jenna Coleman in that championship battle so she's not exactly a powder puff operator by any means. This being said, allthough Samantha avoids a collapse, she earns herself a nasty shiner across the right cheek and her left eye begins to swell badly come the bell with the Melbourne crowd quickly losing it's faith to boot. Mollie remains pumped up after the bell and Sarah Cumming reckons Samantha is broken mentally by this stage as she hardly holds back the tears while walking very slowly to her corner.

Round 5:
The Metermaids head trainer Holly Valance is missing from Jade's corner tonight as she ponders her own fighting options which leads Sarah Cumming to question the stable's effort to back their fighter against such a difficult opponent. Stablemates Isla Fisher and Emilie de Ravin provide the motley crew duty but that's nowhere near enough to stop King's momentum now as the partisan crowd gets to witness another aggressive English assault that dissects Samantha's guard for good in the fifth. The brunette gets whacked with the initial tangle and wobbles forward into a vicious uppercut on the jaw that opens the flood gates - like that's a new development alltogether - and reels a yelping Perth lass back to the turnbuckle where Mollie just applies the heat and batters her into a complete standstill. Isla and Emilie argue whether to throw in the towel here but The Saturdays singer takes care of that dispute and lands a PILEDRIVER to the nose that leaves Jade bleeding on the spot AND THE REF CHARGES IN TO STOP the looming disaster! Jade looks in terrible shape now and the fight couldn't have ended any sooner for her. Dominant TKO5 Mollie King!!!

AFTER: It's a terrible way to open fight night in Melbourne but at least the partisan crowd is guaranteed a home victory in the other contest. Of course it doesn't help Samantha's cause anymore as the battered brunette literally runs back to the locker room to have her nose patched-up and ignores the pleas from Isla Fisher to at least thank the crowd for their support. Like who gives a ####? Meanwhile Emilie de Ravin vows to rearrange Mollie's face given the chance and openly lays down the challenge: "Who needs Dannii Minogue anyway? I can whup your sleazy ass all the way back..." Ugh! So much for that statement as Mollie tackles the fellow blonde to the canvas and oh-so nearly facesits her into a complete humiliation before Isla Fisher grabs the English lass by the hair and salvages whatever's left from The Metermaids pride. All three women engage in a verbal spat thereafter as the security crew arrives to keep the things under control but Sarah Cumming can't wait to see the next chapter of this scuffle. There's every chance Mollie remains on the Aussie guest tour for weeks to come and it's only ACB's profit if anyone can stop her elite train from rolling along the tracks.

Final result: Mollie King def. Samantha Jade TKO5.
