Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Glamour models are usually runaway favorites in jug muggin' competition when pitted against someone from outside their line of work. Leah Francis' unbeaten BBU record would further prove this point if she wasn't trying to upstage Holly Willoughby of all people tonight. Yes, Holly is widely regarded as possibly the best non-glamour model JMDD prospect around the country and her two wins over welterweights Torrie Wilson and Hannah Davis back in America last year appear to be more valuable than Leah's recent victories over Genevieve Morton and Elize Du Toit here in the UK.

It's the fourth and final clash of the JMDD Title Tournament first round and the Cardiff Arena audience remains thirsty for some proper rack punishment as the two naturally endowed blondes are about to square off next. Leah Francis wears a silver bikini set with pink trim and matching pink gloves. Long blonde hair straight, tucked behind the ears. Holly Willoughby wears a black bikini set with white trim and golden gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a curly ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division. JMDD rules apply.

Round 1:
Leah truly wants to upset the pre-fight odds as quickly as possible and most of these models still find it hard to believe that Holly is actually any good in the jug muggin' competition. However the early tangle supports the model's bid as she wraps the proud reporter in a heated uppercut onslaught before drilling her on the tummy to finally push her back. Holly refused to yield an inch to the fellow blonde but a stinging drive aimed at her navel did the trick and Leah enjoys hassling the older woman across the ring for remainder of the round. Holly was always more about power rather than speed and she struggles to find her feet while Francis keeps swinging along and catches the retreating reporter with single shots on the cleavage - that's not good enough to really hurt the Brighton woman but allows the model to win the round outright.

Round 2:
More of the same in the second, both women hammer each other along in close range but Leah still keeps getting the better of the two as she digs her uppercuts on target a little more efficiently and shows no signs of cracking under the Wolloughby pressure. Perhaps the age difference begins to tell here as Leah is six years younger and she's not one of these sluggish models who can only stand and throw punches without actually using their footwork for support. Holly stays true to her ordeal and relies on the power supply in order to make it competitive but Francis has fought the welters before as well and seems unaffected by the reporter's efforts. Both woman bump jug-to-jug several times along the way but Holly can only disrupt the phone booth-like exchange with a lenghty clinch in the final minute and that doesn't win her the judges' support at all.

Round 3:
Ugh! Leah ROCKS Holly with a nasty drive on the liver area and the change of targets clearly catches the hitherto ineffective TV presenter even further off her comfort zone. Francis laces up her guts in a powerful follow up and dumps the older blonde back to the ropes where she deploys more uppercut mayhem and keeps Holly in shutdown mode for a lenghty period of time. The clinching attempt fails to aid the embattled Willoughy's cause and she has to soak up a massive chest-busting series as Leah channels the hamster on a spinning wheel tactics and lifts the reporter's boobs against her slumping chin - a classic sign of vast JMDD superiority. The Cardiff Arena seems to be in support of the subdued blonde here but Leah gets vocally abusive as she barks at her yelping rival and keeps diggin' those juicy uppercuts right where it hurts the most - some of the less qualified girls would have gone down here but Holly's grown into a tough cookie following her Queendom appearance last season and she survives the one-sided muggin' upright - even if Denise van Outen calls it a 10-8 round for the rampant glamour model.

Round 4:
Francis vows to fully annihilate her sluggish opponent now and Girls Friday's coach Lauren Berlingeri realizes the war of attrition is no longer avoidable so she urges the TV reporter to just blast herself into the contention again. Denise van Outen wonders if the Girls Friday tried to see out Leah's early charge and hoped to see her gass out in the proccess but that's hardly been the case tonight and Willoughy's back to square one again. She survives the early tangle in the fourth and Leah's efforts to chop her in half with another stinger on the liver area becomes too predictable, Holly fights back with an uppercut series of her own and lifts the model's mounds nicely before blasting her across the temple in a fit of comeback rage. Ugh! That was a nasty one and Leah drops back to her heels but before she can complain about the unorthodox punch, she gets clobbered on the solar plexus and tails off towards the ropes where Willoughby cranks up the midriff punishment and does her best liver chopping impression as she leaves the younger blonde scowling at the bell.

Round 5:
It's a war of attrition now as both women charge at each other with nothing but disdain in their eyes; Leah still leads on points but she was rattled somewhat in the previous round and tries to regain the momentum though the familiar uppercut drive however Holly gets the better of her in a frantic phone booth exchange and lifts the model's boobs before blasting them sideways through a chopping shot from the right. A follow up hook finds the liver and bends the younger blonde forward, Leah bumps her chin against the reporter's shoulder but then keeps her gloves too low and fails to embrace a vicious hook that clatters into her jaw! Ugh! Holly channels the unorthodox way to gain advantage once more but zips back to classic jug pounding mode when she drills the exposed solar plexus and renders the fellow blonde breathless for a moment... a quick strike on the boobs squeezes them against each other which makes Francis squeal in pain but soon she meets a much worse outcome as Willougby smacks her against the liver and follows up with another strike on the solar plexus... Leah's knees turn to jelly as she screams out her pain but Holly yells out herself and delivers the killer punch... she NAILS the model straight on the left ear AND DROPS HER FACE-DOWN ON THE CANVAS!!! The crowd errupts in joy and the proud model is having to deal with too much pain now... she gets up onto all fours but those repeated liver shots take the breath out of her and she just can't fend off the count passing her by! Would you know it! KO5 Holly Willoughy in come-from-behind fashion!!!

AFTER: Most of the audience is stunned to see the dominant Leah go down in a heap like that but one should never underestimate Holly & the Girls Friday crew! All that FCBA experience came to the fore when it mattered the most and the absolutely gutted model is left sitting on her heels for almost a full minute when she realizes it's all over... Holly's not the one to rub further insult to her fallen opponents' injuries but does a proper jug twerking to please the crowd. Then she picks up the sobbing Leah and presses her face into her jugs briefly but actually has a good laugh about it... Leah remains too shocked to react to this banter and allows the TV reporter to give her a walk of shame but the bikini top stays in tact and it's really all about a genuine shock for the Southampton-born model who's suffered the first defeat of her BBU career tonight. However getting your jugs stopped by Holly Willoughby isn't the end of the world and Denise van Outen reckons the former Zoo & Page Three model will storm right back into contention even if her JMDD title quest is officially over.
