(22, 5’11, 0:1 BBU, SIRENs)

Ming Xi:
(27, 5’11, BBU Debut, Free Agent)

Before: Pacific showdown for both lanky beauties, Danielle the Instagram star from Australia facing off against the three-time veteran Victoria’s Secret model Ming Xi. Both still relatively unknown in the worldwide circles, yet both relishing the opportunity and platform to shine tonight.

“Edinburgh is very beautiful,” the Chinese beauty begins, but then quickly changes her tone. “While I am happy for a chance to fight, I am also *very* happy that I am fighting Ms Robertson.” When pushed further for a reason, Ming Xi hesitates before saying: “She lost her last two fights? So I think I can win today.”

Danielle letting out a ‘Hmph’ immediately after, no cross-cultural respect here it seems. “Ming’s a long way from home, and she’s a guest in my house, so I have to welcome her. But make no mistake, my losses stop here. She’s not going to find a warm welcome here when we’re in the ring.”

Models stand on nose-tips as they stare down, Ming Xi flashing that trademark, pixie smile that hides her nervousness at her debut.

Round 1: Little is known about Ming's boxing background and Danielle wastes precious time in testing out the Chinese newcomer. Australian comes in fast and unloads big hands designed to overwhelm Ming’s guard, and it seems to work at first, pushing the Chinese beauty backwards with each heavy punch to the middle of her forearms. Danielle showing her power early, but Ming soon gets the wiser of her opponent and dances away with more and more ease, making the Australian look silly in the last minute when her bombs stop landing and instead gets tagged by Ming’s quick-seeking fists to the cheek and body. First round meant to feel out either girl and it’s hard to say who came out on top. One thing’s for sure though: both girls just getting started.

Round 2: Danielle tries to rattle Ming upstairs immediately with another big right hand followed by a left hook, but Ming dodges easily around the Australian’s moves. Instead, Chinese model takes each and every opportunity to bunch up Robertson’s cheek with a left jab, right jab. Danielle grunting as she’s getting out-punched and outsmarted. Could this be the makings of Robertson’s third straight loss in her career? Certainly that fear is on her mind as she suddenly hangs back late in the round, letting Ming circle her but denying her jabs this time when Ming is overly-cautious when she comes too close. Danielle gets the last exchange with a one-two long jab to Ming’s face and on her nose, the shock of which staggering the Chinese model backwards as though those punches really stung. By the end, Robertson manages to save herself from a complete walkout.

Round 3: Robertson tries new strategy this round: crowding her opponent bit by bit to a corner. Ming still inexperienced, satisfied with the odd jab to her opponent’s cheek but doesn't realize it’s all part of the plan for Dani. Footwork fails her when she tries to escape to the right but is blocked by an imposing Danielle Robertson, who fires a steady stream of jabs designed to keep Ming contained. Last moment, Robertson steps in and SWINGS A HOOK TO HEAD - BUT IT MISSES! Ming swerving under that epic right hand - not sure whether it’s pure luck or her ninja reflexes that saved her back there... Ming pummels and drums on tummy before escaping free of Robertson’s grasps. The Australian seething as her trap sprung but a complete waste of result. Rest of round sees Robertson trying again but again but gets her face beaten on with lightning punches from Ming before the bell rings. Robertson losing momentum and the will to fight, it seems. Long way to recovery if she’s going to win this fight on her own terms.

Round 4: Early on, the Chinese warrior switches into full-on attack mode, like a desert whirlwind as she scoots around an injured Robertson and peppers her relentless with jabs to the head and body. Robertson certainly in trouble here, big hooks not landing or simply hitting at guard. Robertson switches the script as well, content with jamming her fists into Ming’s chest and body when she gets too close, but Ming keeps working on the head-hunting and a one-two punch combo simply rocks Robertson and staggers her backwards, with arms held high. In comes Ming now with glorious underhooks to the tummy. Danielle URKing and gasping as her body jerks forward. Referee close at hand, looking to see signs of surrender, but Ming lacking the power to put her girl away, needless pummeling on Danielle’s guard in last thirty seconds doesn't just put the Siren down. Bell rings spelling certain doom for Danielle, and she knows it. She might have a sturdy defense but hell if that’s gonna save her or win her the match. That's three in a row for the Chinese beauty who becomes to catch some attention in the stands, evident from the rising chants of her name.

Round 5: Danielle kind of says to herself, “Screw it!” and charges in guns blazing, ignoring any attempt to dissuade her from her own corner. Ming does what's she’s been doing, a jab-jab-jab lands squarely on Danielle’s chin, then chest, but the Australian comes in close extremely fast and WHAMS a right hook cleanly into Ming’s cheek! Ouuffff goes Ming as the blow clearly does some damage. The Chinese beauty’s face continued to be beaten on by follow-up punches - Robertson just refusing to let her go this time. Ming throwing up her guard best she can, forearms absorbing a whack whack WHAP now. Robertson goes down under with clean leather on belly, intending to wind her opponent. Ming forced to clinch - rare occasion for her, and for good reason - Robertson uses hips to shove the Victoria’s Secret model back to the ropes and continues raking her belly over with punishing right hands, but bell rings before Danielle can claim a TKO. For a moment there, all of Ming’s strategy seemed to be for naught as she’s trapped by Danielle’s heavier-set body. A great round for Danielle, surely, but is it too little, too late?

Round 6: Robertson clearly revived in spirit, wishes to repeat her success with another full-blown charge at Ming, swinging at her head despite catching some stiff blows to her tummy on the way over. Ming doesn't seem to be able to neutralise Danielle’s power and bullying tactics, body gets flung back with another superman punch straight on her guard, the force too much to deal with. Danielle however still off balance when Ming rebounds on the ropes and CRASHES her own right hand into the Australian’s chin, the power cross also swiveling her head to the side and sending her off her feet!! Dani simply falls to the canvas in shock from that massive counter-blow! It’s a knockdown for Ming in the first minute! The crowd goes wild at the surprising exchange, and Ming herself can't exactly believe what she just did, blinking and still hovering her gloves in defensive mode when the referee gestures for her to return to neutral corner to begin the count.

But Dani seems far from hurt, simply looks stunned as she gingerly returns to her feet by the count of 7. Referee signals to resume and Robertson is the one who charges yet again, seething in frustration at that turn of fortunes. This time, she batters Ming’s guard from the side with powerful lefts and rights. Ming shooting her fists painfully into the Australian’s cheek during intervals, but her forearms slowly whacked away by Robertson’s rotating power. One such right hand draws shocked GASP from Ming as it leaves her face wide open - a beauty of a left hook catches her square on the cheek, distorting her face and screwing her eyes up. Danielle grinning now, walks Ming back to ropes with vicious pounding of her tummy, with Ming hiding her face back with forearms and leaving her body open. One-two-three-four attacks to Ming’s gut leaves her gasping for air as her body simply sags over in her opponent’s arms. Robertson thinks it’s over, lets her fall down to her knees! It’s a comeback knockdown for Dani, this time in the second minute! Dani raising a glove to acknowledge the cheering crowd, revealing the extent of damage her body has received thus far though. That payback to Ming’s gut certainly looked like sweet revenge. However, Ming is shaking her head vigorously at the referee’s question, “Do you want to give up?” and the referee allows the round to resume yet again when Ming gets back on her feet at the count of 8.

Robertson still smiling as she attempts the same charge for third time - doesn't expect Ming to do the same! Vicious pounding, back-and-forth action now as both girls take turns stuffing gloves onto flesh. Robertson doing the honours of returning tummy torture, whereas Ming knocking her head sideways more than once. An uppercut to jaw eventually staggers Dani, sending her backwards groggy! Robertson seeing stars, looks to be in trouble as another uppercut snaps her head back. She’s walks back into turnbuckle and Ming exploits with fast and stinging underhooks to her body trying to seal the deal, but Dani encircles arms around the Chinese model in a desperate clinch, uses her extra weight to wrestle Ming around and RAM her own fist deep into her belly once, twice. Ming gurgling, cursing in Mandarin now as she’s the one left fighting to stay alive. Robertson ploughs thick rights and lefts into the body, jerking the lean Ming and drawing loud groans from her lips. Suddenly, the ref steps in to save her - what the hell? There’s still 30 seconds left on my watch. Ming herself swaying but clearly still on her feet, arms still guarding her face in a tight and coherent manner. But Dani can't be bothered with the controversy, already running back to corner in tears and joy at her first victory.


Official Decision: Danielle Robertson defeats Ming Xi via TKO6!


After: Many fans thinking the decision is premature, letting their feelings be known with more loud boos than cheers for the Sirens’ victory. Ming herself seems to agree, clearly still has her senses about her when she confronts the referee and starts spewing curses at him in a foreign language. Gone is the baby-faced smile on her lips as she watches Danielle making another pass at her victory parade, strides over to the Australian and gets in her face, shoving her shoulders back with two hands. Loud gasp from the rafters as Dani stunned herself, the brunette not liking the interruption and pushing back, and the post-fight erupts when they tackle each other to the ground in a mess of arms and limbs. Referee and officials have to separate the two girls, but not before they get in more blows in their frustration. Ming escorted back to locker room, but she has choice words for the Siren when approached by reporters later on, demanding a rematch and another shot at Dani in the near future. Robertson however paying little attention, resumes her celebration of first victory in the ring with the rest of her stablemates.
