(Lioness Club vs Beever's Babes)
(10-14, 9 KO vs 11-3, 10 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Jeanette Biedermann might not belong to the divisional elite but she's one of the most popular members of the Lioness Club and always ready to accept a good match-up. BBU TV's Charlie Webster has little doubt that Jade Ewen is a good match-up for any fighter out there and it's really curious to see the former Sugababes singer returning to action here in the KO Club which fellow bandmate Heidi Range calls her boxing home. Jade has been absent from the ring since going down to Jenna Coleman in the flyweight championship bout in May of last year but the word on the street is that Range has indeed convinced the Lioness front office to invite her for tonight's special opportunity. Charlie Webster wonders whom the Merseyside blonde truly supports, the Lioness stable or perhaps her former music companion but does it really matter for all the boxing fans around North London and beyond? Jade remains one of the most exciting and still overlooked prospects in the entire division even though she will never wrestle the Beevers' marketing leadership away from the one and only Samia Ghadie!

Jeanette Biedermann wears a pink bikini set with black trim and silver gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a curly ponytail. Jade Ewen wears a black bikini set with red trim and red gloves. Long dark brown hair straight. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.

Round 1:
Jeanette wants to keep the fellow singer in check early on and jumps into a trigger-happy pursuit that allows her to pick Jade off straight through the middle. She gallops into Jade's face with a vicious jabbing set and barks in delight when she wobbles the younger girl on her heels. This is almost like Gina Wild was still in charge of the Lioness gym and Biedermann has often paid the ultimate prize for going off hot but losing her plot down the stretch. Thankfully for the German veteran, Ewen doesn't look as sharp as usual during the opener and gets backed into the ropes come the final minute with the blonde's successful head hunting tactics making the difference. However Beevers' coach Denise Lewis doesn't seem concerned about her protegee's lack of effort and she's told Charlie Webster that Jade can wreck the 'old slapper' with literally one good series at any time she wants to. Obviously, round one isn't the right time to witness that decision though.

Round 2:
More of the same in the second, Biedermann launches another cruel attack up the middle and connects with the surprisingly cumbersome East Londoner who doesn't display anything significant on the defense and basically allows the blonde to beat her up in the center of the ring. Jeanette's high-octane attack lacks the big punch though and despite all her swarming efforts, she can't break Jade's resilience before the former flyweight title challenger finally cranks it up and delivers a nasty left/right combo on the temples. Both singers lean onto each other in close range and land some promising hooks upstairs however there's no visible breakthrough as we head into the final minute where the action stalls thanks to Ewen's clinching tactics. Jeanette gets a little help from the referee but her opponent shows improved footwork thereafter and avoids getting laced with some wayward hooks to close out the round.

Round 3:
Biedermann keeps going forward but gets blocked off in mid-distance this time and endures a swift counter-punching assault during the opening minute as Ewen lets it rip and scores a double combo success which smacks the German veteran on the temples. Still, Jeanette simply refuses to yield real estate and leaps after the fellow singer only to find more piercing hooks crashing through her cheeks thereafter. Jade doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry here but shows nifty footwork to dump the blonde underneath a steady jabbing assault that slowly buries Biedermann on wobbly knees. The German gets truly rooted to the spot come the final minute and misfires badly from behind the guard while Jade keeps picking her off and Charlie Webster thinks that only because the British singer doesn't operate at 100%, Jeanette is allowed to escape a proper beating at this stage.

Round 4:
Jade turns from the hip early on and delivers another ultra-accurate left/right combo that dissects the blonde's guard and wraps her into immediate jabbing assault. There's no sign of the familiar German aggressive push anymore but that's all down to Ewen kicking into a higher gear and she literally pounds the hapless blonde back to the ropes at the one minute mark with some loud yelps in German signalling the change of tune in the ring. Biedermann tries to haul some shots from behind the guard but Jade is quicker in execution and slams the vicious left hook around her foe's eye repeatedly to sink the veteran on soft knees even further. Still, Charlie in the booth doesn't think the former Sugababe operates at full throttle but the display in the third minute is enough to keep the German trapped on the ropes behind a desperate earmuff. Jeanette simply doesn't have the strenght and agility to escape this precarious position and is forced to fight on the Londoner's terms as the clock expires.

Round 5:
Jade's found her rhythm in full now and she tackles the blonde to the body which has not been seen during this bout all that often. The sudden switch of targets catches Jeanette off guard and bends her forward so much she bumps her chin on Ewen's shoulder but it soon gets worse for her as the East Londoner cracks a nasty right hook on the temple before adding a left hook on the chin. Ugh! Biedermann sinks on her knees with a loud whimper and can't raise her gloves quick enough to prevent a scything cross tearing into her lips... AND DOWN SHE GOES... the lightning quick nature of this series breaks the veteran down and tells the KO Club audience what's the true difference in class between these two women. However Biedermann shows plenty of courage to beat the count at six and she shouts some angry words at the fellow singer to indicate she's ready to go... Jade laughs out at this display and jumps into another head hunting assault where she outworks the brave but otherwise limited blonde. More punches bounce off Jeanette's face and leave further bruises around both eyes. The relentless nature of Jade's performance renders the German veteran into a sparring session afterthought who gets reeled onto the ropes only to soak up more abuse for remainder of the round. The ref looks on but the clock eventually comes to Biedermann's rescue and she looks utterly spend out there and shakes her head in disgust. She truly doesn't think about another verbal tirade anymore and the writing is pretty much on the wall now.

Round 6:
Jade races out of her corner to connect with the banged-up blonde and it's obvious Jeanette is running on empty tank now; she avoids the initial overhand swing but then gets caught with a belting strike on the navel and bends forward into another familiar uppercut frenzy. Ewen barks in her efforts to destroy the blonde's chin and wraps her into a cruel reality when she connects with one, two, make that three straight punches that bawl her eyes to the back of her head on the spot... Uh-oh.. BIEDERMANN SLIDES ON HER KNEES and rolls onto her left side with another loud whimper... Jade tells the ref she's done here and well, nobody's gonna argue with that statement! KO6 Jade Ewen!!!

AFTER: Heidi Range is the only member of the Lioness Club entourage who seems genuinely happy about this result but the owner Mr. V himself is later seen in a friendly chat with Beevers' trainer Denise Lewis. Charlie Webster ponders just how much politics happens behind the scene and whether Jade Ewen is about to profit from some deals currently unknown to the public eye? Cheryl Cole remains the flyweight champion and it's fair to wonder if the Beevers would like to shut out the elite opposition and mount another title run for the former Sugababe? Jade looked a little rusty in the opening couple of rounds but once she got going, there was no looking back and Jeanette Biedermann was reduced into a smoking heap which otherwise doesn't really affect her veteran gatekeeping status.

Final result: Jade Ewen def. Jeanette Biedermann KO6.
