Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE:
There's no love lost between these two blondes and Denise van Outen reckons we could witness a proper grudge fight here between Dorota Rabczewska and Tina Hobley. While the Polish singer is an established name among the elite bantamweights, Tina made a rapid entry into the boxing scene back in April and has racked up four quick victories through exceptional punching power - not bad at all considering she turned 46 last month!

However Rabczewska was quick to dismiss the new cougar threatening to make some noise in the 120 lbs category and has vowed to blow the actress away in what shapes up to be a real display of raw power here in Cardiff tonight. The notorious singer is ready to clash gloves with veteran Alesha Dixon next so a potential hiccup against Hobley would be a true PR disaster indeed!

Dorota Rabczewska wears a red bikini top, white knickers and black gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a sleek ponytail. Tina Hobley wears a navy blue bikini set and white gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a similar sleek ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Immediate action from the bell, Dorota squares up to the blonde cougar meaning business and jabs through the English guard but Tina's unmoved by this aggressive approach and dishes out one on her own, she catches the singer on the brow ridge and spikes the Polish girl's face from both sides while getting thumped on the lips herself. That's a proper flyweight-like bash Samia Ghadie would be proud - by the way, what she's been up to lately? - that continues deep into the second minute with neither of the two hellcats ready to give in. The damage is visible quite quickly as well, Doda nurses a swollen left eye which indicates there's plenty of power behind Hobley's shots but the actress gets a cut lip for all of her aggression and begins to lose steam as we head into the final minute. Doda ups the ante thereafter and knocks Tina's head back a couple of times before scything her across the nose and digging a right hook on the solar plexus with clock ticking off under ten seconds... Ugh! Hobley wobbles on her heels as she has to yield real estate after that incredibly fast-paced opener and Rabczewska hauls in one late combo after that - she slams it against the left brow ridge and leaves the English cougar slumped against the ropes at the bell.

Round 2:
Another heavy slugging follows in the second, both women crash into each other with full steam and allthough the attacks rely on the head hunting mode, it's pure hatred at display here in Cardiff. Doda is a little quicker of the two and that earns her the vaulable edge as she rocks Hobley's head back again while adding lumps on her target in the proccess. Hobley refuses to back off and spikes the singer's swollen left eye but gets NAILED with a hard right over the top that squashes her lips into jelly just past the minute mark and trembles on her knees... Doda powers ahead and lands a triple upercut combo that dissects the high guard and leaves Tina screaming out in pain... another right hook bursts into the older blonde's nostrils and closes her eyes as the Polish power supply hits turbo mode... another left/right hook nails the subdued woman on the chin and a desperate clinching effort is blocked with a left hook on the ear that HALF-SPINS TINA AROUND and sends her TUMBLING DOWN ON HER BACKSIDE!!! Lioness coach Mel B. leads the applause from the corner and the Principality Stadium crowd is likewise satisfied with the swift knockdown! No love for the English hearts in the Welsh capital it seems! Tina shakes off the knockdown daze at seven but nurses a bloody nose here and her lips are equally roughed up... still, she jumps at the fellow blonde after the command to dismiss any comments about her power punching status being elevated against sub-par opposition. Doda has demolished Gemma Bissix herself so Tina's most valuable scalp isn't going to impress the Polish entourage and a hectic all-in assault results in more blood coming from Hobley's nostrils as she gets wrapped in a heavy jabbing menace and her head snaps around back & forth until the bell mercifully halts the grudge destruction at her expense. Ugh! Even Denise van Outen needs to recover her breath after that one and we have witnessed one almighty brutal round of boxing that leaves Tina in all sorts of bother as she walks gingerly back to her corner.

Round 3:
Doda doesn't let her foot off the gas whatsoever and the BBU fans and pundits have grown to realize that she always means business when she says she does. No easy outs when the Polish singer channels the grudge ideas and Tina is about to learn about it the hard way. The blonde cougar fails to match her rival's speed across the boards and Doda's core strenght is more than enough to slice through the high guard which resumes the vicious head hunting ordeal. Hobley sags on her heels at the point of impact and begins to wince in pain while more blood comes out from her nostrils... all that work during the break is undone within the opening drive and Rabczewska now screams out in anger as she keeps brutalizing Hobley's face in the center of the ring... there's just no way the English cougar survives this pounding and she can't even apply a proper clinch as the Polish singer cuts her up further... a right hook on the brow ridge slumps Hobley into shimmy shake mode and as she loses her footing, she can't escape a thunderclap strike from the left that nails her on the ear AND SENDS CRASHING DOWN IN A HEAP on the spot... that was downright "pull the plug" kind of a shot and Tina drifts out of the orbit as the singer gloats over her fallen body and gestures at the Cardiff audience to pump up the cheering volume! Brutal KO3 Dorota Rabczewska!!!

AFTER:
This could be the Knockout of the Night right there but the Lioness entourage doesn't really care about it as Doda orders anyone available ringside "to take this trash out!" Talk about a vicious fall from grace for one of the most impressive cougars to ever make their BBU debut! It looks like blasting out Carla Bonner and Gemma Bissix just isn't on the same level as facing the Polish wrath personified! Whatever the truth, both Doda and Mel B. try to pour more fuel into the Alesha Dixon fire and Denise van Outen is convinced the long history between the Lionesses and the Beevers is about to witness another chapter as if the legendary rivalry that featured Jessica Schwarz didn't answer all the bitter demands already! Watch this space next month!

Final result: Dorota Rabczewska def. Tina Hobley KO3.
