Intro:
The second main event of tonights Co-main events sees the BBU lightweight title on the line, challenger Nadia Forde takes on the champion Gal Gadot.
The challenger Nadia is 28 year old; is 5'7, she holds a record of 7 wins, 6 by knockout and 0 losses since her debut in 2015.
The champion Gal is 32 years old; is 5'9, she holds a record of 3 wins and 6 defeats in her career since her debut in 2011, this is her first defence of the title.
Of course with Wonder Woman hitting cinemas to such big success, reporters flocked to the press event for this fight.


Normally it would be an event on the stage, but with the movie being part of the build up, Gal had to talk a lot about that as she walked around the room wearing a sleek silver dress and carrying the BBU lightweight title on her shoulder.
But when she got a chance to speak about the fight, she smiled warmly as she said "wow all this stuff is like a whirlwind, when people ask when did you know 2017 would be a special year for me, I quote them the 30th of April; that's the day I won this precious title off of Malika Menard"
Proudly looking at the title belt, she continues by saying "when I got the nod to take the shot, I couldn't believe it, I heard all the underdog speeches, but you don't work as hard as I have to be a successful model, now an actress and you can add boxer to that list"
Asked about Nadia, she answers "she has earned the title through her own hard work, I respect that but it doesn't mean I am going to be another notch on her winning run, this baby is coming home with me, you are going to have to be a real Supergirl to have a chance at taking this away" winking as she struts off to get some photos taken.
While Gal says she respects Nadia, the Irish challenger doesn't feel it from the reporters, she looks in a bad mood as she walks around the room in a tight black dress that shows off her own impressive body off.
Speaking to journalists, she says "I'm sick of hearing about Wonder Woman, it's a frickin' movie! You'd think Gal was going to win an Oscar from it, if she gets offered a Razzie award it'll be top good for her"
Adding "to think I've heard people say she's the favourite in our fight, I am unbeaten, I've knocked girl after girl out who has stepped in my way and I earned this shot, I didn't win the lottery and was handed the shot because of my name"
She finishes on "she's f***ing with the wrong girl, I know my friends have my back, especially over pompous Gal" strutting over to find the champion.
The girls meet up and a few words are exchanged, security edges closer but Nadia shouts "I'm not going to cheap shot her! This is just a little girl talk before we find out whose taking home this" placing her hand on the BBU title belts plate.
Gal nudging the hand off as both fighters go nose to nose, photographers taking pics of this moment, journalists in awe from seeing these two stunners face to face, Nadia could be a superwoman in her own right some think.
But it's about the fight the next day and their agents and Gal's stable manager Nicole Ritchie steps in to separate the girls and end the gathering.


Now it's time for the fight in Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Nadia is out first to a loud cheer, a lot of her friends and family seem to have made the travel over to Wales.
She has her coach by her side and a surprise to some guest in Girls Friday's fighter; model Kelly Gale, though it shouldn't be too much a surprise given their history from rivals to sister like friends.
Nadia is strutting down to the ring while wearing an emerald green bikini and black gloves, her brunette hair tied back into a ponytail.
Climbing into the ring, Nadia quickly does a lap, pumping her fists in the air as she smiles to her fans, then heads to her corner to finish warming up, while Kelly waits outside in her corner, cheering her on.
Now it's time for Gal, her manager and coach Nicole Ritchie steps out holding the BBU lightweight title over her head for the world to see, just before Gal makes her entrance.
Gal gets a loud cheer as well, earning a scowl from Nadia, Gal is wearing a blue bikini top with a gold Wonder Woman logo on her left jug, red bikini bottoms and red gloves, her hair is braided, she's looking like her Amazonian character.
Marching down to the ring, Gal looks as focused as she toned; very! She climbs into the ring and stands in the ring centre with her hands on her hips.
Nadia can be heard shouting "for f*** sake!" As she sees Gal trying to upstage her, she has to some fans as Gal heads to her corner to go through her own routine.
As soon as they are ready, both fighters are brought to the ring centre, insults are flying as they touch foreheads, staring right into the others eyes with looks that could kill.
Asked to touch gloves, they give each others gloves a quick swipe as they just want to get this show on the road and hopefully the title around their waist by the end of the night.
When both girls get back into their corners, the referee gives both fighters one last look of the belt, before handing it off to the timekeeper and signalling for the bell to begin 10 rounds of BBU lightweight championship action.

Round 1:
Out come the girls with Nadia quickly across the ring, Gal caught slightly off guard as she clearly expected a testing out period between the fighters.
Instead Nadia drives to the inside of Gal's reach, starting with a right cross that turns the Israeli stars face to the side and then adds a left to her body before Gal is able to plant her feet and fire back.
Both fighters trading punches in close as Nadia looks happy to be in this close, working the body of Gal as she tries to back her up.
But Gal connects with a right hook to the top of Nadia's head, that opens up some space so she can land two more punches to push the Irish fighter back another step.
Nadia blocks another straight though and steps forwards to dig a right up top the chin of Gal, adding several more straight punches to push her opponent back towards the ropes.
Moving her head back out the way of a right hook, the champion counters with an uppercut that backs Nadia up several steps.
Suddenly as the round is heading towards it's end, Gal is on the front foot, banging away at the guard of Nadia.
Back comes Nadia though with seconds to go to create a grandstand finish to the round to a loud cheer from the crowd.
The bell ringing to end the round with both fighters standing nose to nose, wanting so badly to be let go so they can settle this now, the referee pushing them apart and ordering them to their corners.
Both sitting and getting cleaned up off their coaches, staring across the ring at each other with real malice in their eyes.
Round 2:
Both come out quickly this time, squaring up to each other to slug it out, Nadia slamming a right and left to the ribs of Gal to cause her to groan.
Gal showing her experience in big fights, stepping back and timing Nadia coming in to land three punches to her face.
Nadia looking a little stunned as Gal jabs her back, pinning the Irish girl behind her guard before she starts swinging hooks around to the cheeks of her opponent.
Forde tries to step forwards to catch Gal, but Gadot steps back with some beautiful footwork and catches her rival with a double jab right onto her nose.
The champion powers Nadia back onto the ropes with another flurry, Nadia struggling to match the champion for precision punching and her face is starting to look reddened around her cheeks.
But as her back hits the ropes, Nadia nearly springs right back into the face of Gal, Gal looking surprised as her opponent aggressively comes back at her.
Gal moves back to create space and looks annoyed that she couldn't keep Nadia pinned down, both girls moving back together to trade punches.
The final minute of the round sees Nadia land an overhand right that pushes Gal back, the challenger presses the champion back a few more steps before getting caught with a left cross that stops her assault.
Gal ending the round strong with two straight punches that knocks Nadia's head back and a right hook to knock her head to the side.
The bell rings with Gal turning and jogging back to her corner with a much more relaxed look on her face as she had a much better round then the first for her.
Nadia stares at the back of Gal with unbridled rage, banging her gloves together as she heads to her corner, her coach working to calm her down and clean her up.
Round 3:
Gal comes out behind her guard, working to keep Nadia under control as the younger fighter is trying to walk straight through her.
Those jabs crack Nadia on her nose to open a small cut on the bridge, Gal presses her back around the ring, the champion starting to put on a championship performance.
She digs a right cross around the guard of Nadia to turn her head, adding a left hook to knock the challenger towards a corner.
Nadia struggling to fight back, having to clinch up to protect herself as Gal was starting to land some real power shots in to the body and cheeks.
The referee pries the girls apart with a struggle, Nadia slipping away from the corner to find space, Gal giving chase to keep the pressure on.
Back and forth go the fighters as Nadia plants her feet, trying to back Gal up to show she's far from finished this round.
Gal slams a straight into her nose though to push her back and as the round is coming towards it's conclusion, she presses Nadia back onto the ropes again.
Both girls brawling wildly as Gal struggles to keep her opponent pinned down, Nadia fighting back to try and get her way off the ropes.
The round ends with both girls just holding back from swinging again, the cut on Nadia's nose opening slightly more.
Both fighters march back to their corners, getting advice on how to finally get some control over the other, the girls more interested in each other and not what's around them.
Round 4:
Gal comes out with her jab once more as Nicole has obliviously told her to use her height advantage, the problem is that Nadia knows what she's going to do and is starting to move her around.
Once she has an opening, Nadia takes it as she slips under a right from Gal and digs three body shots in to force a gasp from the champion.
Gal covering up as Nadia pushes on, pounding the guard of her opponent, the Israeli fighter tries to fire back but misses over the top of Nadia's head.
The Irish fighter slams a right up top that connects with the left eye of Gal and for the first real time in the fight, Gal looks somewhat in trouble as she backs up.
Nadia not letting her get to far away, stalking the bigger fighter around the ring with her jab, then stepping in to pound a right to the ribs of the champ and a left turns her head as it slams into her cheek.
The champion fighting back as she parries a follow up right and slams a straight once again into that cut nose of Nadia, she needs to protect it more as Gal hits it again with a jab.
The fighters settle into circling and jabbing as the action slows down for the first time this fight, the crowd urging them to get struck in again, but both are becoming weary of each other.
Till Gal steps in to land a left, missing just by a whisker and Nadia stepping in to land a right cross and a quick left that puts the Hollywood star onto her heels.
Nadia pushing Gal onto the ropes and hammering her guard as the champ covers up till the bell rings seconds later to end the round.
Smiling as she heads back to her corner, Nadia gets a thumbs up from her friend Kelly in her corner, her coach busy working on the blood running from that cut though.
While Gal shakes her head, Nicole telling her "it's OK, she has to up her game to beat you, not the other way around, stick with what got you that title" which seems to relax her fighter a little, but there's still some tension in the Lookout! Corner.
Round 5:
Both fighters don't rush out this time, Gal looking more aware of where she needs to work, boxing slightly off the back foot, not her natural position in the ring.
But against Nadia she clearly feels that is what she needs to do to succeed, it isn't working that well though as Nadia is working on the attack is the best defence policy.
On the inside goes Nadia with her fists pounding the sides of Gal, trying to wear out Gadot, who seems to be getting sick of taking a beating to the body.
The champ changes tact and plants her feet to slam her punches into Nadia's head, it knocks her opponent back a few steps till Forde retreats.
But it's not long till she resets herself and comes back at Gal, both fighters settling into a war of attrition, letting their hands go as they try to land the punch that will end this.
Instead they fall into a clinch, blood starting to flow from a small cut above Nadia's right eye as Gal caught her with a hard left cross.
The referee separates the fighters, Nadia still trying to get on the front foot, but Gal is landing some rifle like shots to the centre of her face, knocking her head back.
Nadia manages to land some good body shots in, but now she's becoming too open as she seeks to knock out Gal.
Leading to Gal landing a right and left cross to Nadia's head to turn it side to side, there's a slight wobble to the legs of Nadia that the crowd notices as some stand up to get a better view.
Nadia clinching up with Gal though to take a moment to clear her head, Gal sneaking her right into the kidneys of her opponent, not wanting her to have a moments peace.
Shoved apart with not long left, Nadia comes back in to land a right hook to the body of Gal, causing her to grimace but fires back with a right cross and a left hook pushes Nadia back.
The bell rings before she can do more damage, both looking beat up due to the swelling on their faces, Gal sore around her body, while Nadia has two cuts to worry about now as they head to their corners to be cleaned up.
Kelly is up in Nadia's corner, helping out with the cuts, not caring about getting blood on her white dress, Nadia's coach telling her what to do if she is to have any change to win.
Round 6:
Out come the fighters, Nadia trying to do as told by tightening her guard it looks like, taking several jabs on her forearms as she stalks forwards.
Nadia starting to try to throw her own jab to give herself some opening to work with, though she's missing as Gal looks calm as she dances on her toes.
Getting frustrated, Nadia opens up to try and a right to the body of Gal, who deftly steps back out the way and quickly swings up with an uppercut, stunning both Nadia and the crowd as she catches the challenger flush on the chin and it's lights out for her as Nadia's knees go from under her and she collapses face down on the canvas.
The referee quickly goes to his knees to check on her and waves the fight off as she's been knocked clean out by Gal!

Winner: Still BBU lightweight champion Gal Gadot KO Round 6

After:
To those who questioned Gal's championship qualities, that was a knockout for the ages and a performance that was mostly good against a tough challenger.
Gal looks relieved it's over and she's won her first title defence, strutting around the ring with her hands raised to a loud roar from the crowd, who are standing due to being so hyped by the knockout.
Kelly and Nadia's coach both rush in with the ring doctor to check that Nadia will be OK, the doctor safely moving Nadia after he makes sure that it is OK to do so.
After he has her turned around, he gets the smelling salts and after a few tense moments, Nadia awakens with a splutter and Kelly is kneeling next to her, holding her right glove as if holding her hand.
Gal comes over with the BBU lightweight title over her shoulder as her manager Nicole retrieved it from the timekeepers desk to hand to the champion herself.
Who looks down at Nadia to see she is OK, but then turns to Kelly and says to her "tell her when she knows where she's at that jealousy isn't a good colour for her" smirking as she turns and heads back to her corner to celebrate with Nicole.
Kelly wishes she could say or do something to Gal, instead she focuses on helping Nadia, who is dazed but with help from her corner team, she's up and is helped to her stool.
"You did so well Nadia, I'm so proud of you!" Says Kelly to her friend, helping her take her gloves off as Nadia let's herself smile a little, though it's mostly for Kelly's benefit as she doesn't want to think about the fact she lost the big fight, the thing she's worked so hard to just get a shot at, it's past her by and she must be wondering when the next time she earns a shot is.
Helped out the ring by Kelly, Nadia looks up to see her family and friends, they smile at her to show how proud they are too, but it makes the pain she's feeling hurt even worse.
Gal just watches with a smile on her face, feeling the way Nadia acted with her that this is the payback she deserves, the fact she is still champion is the cherry on top.
The champion is asked to come to the ring centre to announce the final result, Gal standing proudly with the title in her hands by her waist as the announcer begins his announcement.
As he says "still the BBU lightweight champion" Gal lifts the belt above her head to show the crowd, who are chanting "Gal" which nearly makes her cry tears of joy, through all the setbacks she received early in her career, these moments she's creating now make it all worthwhile.
As the PPV feed is shutting off, Denise Van Outen at the BBU commentators desk asks "who is next for BBU's Wonder Woman?"
