Natalie Gumede vs Indira Weis
(Marti's Maulers vs Black Eagle Boxing)
(3-6, 3 KO vs 3-0, 3 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Natalie Gumede has never quite reached that elite level in BBU but she's still considered a valuable journeywoman and a solid test of strenght for any aspiring lightweight title hopeful. Meanwhile Indira Weis is regarded as the top German talent in the 130lbs division thanks to her supreme punching power and overall bullying attitude that has helped her to secure three quick wins last season already.

Natalie Gumede wears a blue bikini set and white gloves. Medium lenght dark brown hair in loose curls. Indira Weis wears a red bikini set and golden gloves. Long dark brown hair straight, tucked behind the ears. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Indira's aggression comes to the fore early on as she splits Natalie's mitts with her initial drive and backs the English girl onto the ropes much faster than even the Maulers' entourage would have anticipated. But there's something really evil behind Indira's shots as she truly wants to set an early mark and she buries Gumede under a proper barrage which makes the tourist look downright out of depth already. Natalie struggles to even mount a single-handed response from behind the guard and gets plastered in the corner with Indira running hot from the front and delivering one strike after another. Natalie hasn't graced the ring since September of last year but that's actually still not as long as Weis' absence and the German dominance can only be explained by the home crowd mojo that cheers with every punch snapping Natalie's head back. Ugh! The former Coronation Street actress barely survives the opener and looks hollow in the eyes when walking back to her corner.

Round 2:
Indira picks up the pace in the second and crashes into Natalie's face with the initial jabbing tangle before adding a quick hook to the body. The Englishwoman swings over the top but bounces off the singer's shoulder and lacks the speed even when compared to a rival who doesn't excel in that department herself. Both women remain in close range for a while due to Gumede's lack of footwork ability and Indira slams more leather to the body where she finds a new target to exploit. And she's really good at hammering the English midsection into a mush based on the moaning evidence from the Burnley fighter. Natalie gets pounded back to the ropes and just can't stay clear of the vicious German assault, she slumps on soft knees when Weis chops her from both flanks and finds no guard to speak of. Even the clinching effort is half-hearted and one can only wonder what was Gumede doing the past twelve months. It's unlikely she's been to a boxing gym according to BBU TV's Anna Woolhouse!

Round 3:
Natalie looks downbeat mentally as she rises for the third and Indira's quick to rattle her cage with another feisty hooking drive. She smacks the Englishwoman's lips into visible swelling - and she's worked on that since the word go anyway - but only cripples the actress when another brutally effective body assault pierces the liver area and bends the younger brunette into spasms. Natalie tries to clinch herself to safety but Indira blasts an uppercut to the jugs and lands another left hook on the temple TO SEND THE ACTRESS CRASHING DOWN ON HER SIDE!!! The Mannheim crowd truly enjoys that moment and Natalie looks all lost at sea when she tries to shake off the knockdown disaster. She's up at seven but on very wobbly legs and the man in charge ponders his options. However Indira wants to have more fun here tonight and she's granted another attempt. Poor Gumede doesn't even raise her arms in time when the singer crashes into her face with a left/right hooking combo to half-spin her into more spasms... Natalie's curly locks take a wild ride as the actress gets pummelled back to the ropes where Weis simply turns her lights out with more vicious head hunting... Half-way through the round Gumede collapses to her knees with eyes closed and slowly drops to her side without showing signs of recovery anytime soon! KO3 Indira Weis!!!

AFTER: The former Bro'Sis singer looks every inch as impressive as she was back in May of last year and Anna Woolhouse questions whether she'll see an improved challenge anytime soon? Her punching power has send another official warning and only someone like Katie Price could be naive enough to book a fight with this odds-on favorite based on the early career revenue. It's almost a shame that Dorota Rabczewska doesn't qualify for a lightweight contest but Indira is due an elite test now since she's made a mockery of a solid journeywoman tonight and that indicates she should move up the food chain really soon - especially considering her age (she turned 38 last week).

Final result: Indira Weis def. Natalie Gumede KO3.
