Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: BBU returns to the Sun City resort where local favorite Jenna Pietersen is scheduled to boost her contender's profile at the expense of the exciting German prospect Lorena Rae. Pietersen vows to continue her career on both sides of the Atlantic but hasn't committed to a single weight division due to her obvious JMDD value which apparently enables her to find more opportunities in America where several welters thrive in the jug muggin' rules. Meanwhile Rae is a genuine light/welter tweener herself; she couldn't handle Mathilde Gohler on her BBU debut but fighting such a prolific opponent indicates the German stunner isn't afraid to swing at the fences despite minimal experience. BBU TV's Charlie Webster believes it's a dangerous tactics which can easily backfire down the stretch but these glamour models sometimes think the world is at their feet and who can blame them? This attitude only profits the BBU overall profile.

Jenna Pietersen wears an orange bikini set and black gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in curly ponytail. Lorena Rae wears a white one-piece swimsuit with a deep cleavage carved below the solar plexus and red gloves. Long dark blonde hair tied in a loose ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Lorena jumps into an early offensive barrage which catches the local girl a little off guard and these are powerful punches testing the brunette's defense. She needs a little time to adjust to the pacey start from her opponent but Lorena actually smacks her a couple of times on the lips and Jenna has to back away from the challenge. She dances her way around the German's effort but Lorena just keeps on swinging and Charlie Webster points out the German stunner really came out to play here. Of course how she reacts when Pietersen begins to land her shots is a different story but the brunette eventually decides to weather the storm in mid-distance rather than mount a late comeback.

Round 2:
More action from Rae who crashes through the older model's defense again however Pietersen steps up to land a counter-hook on the jaw which triggers a hectic brawl in the center of the ring. Both women settle into a head-hunting drill that has the crowd going however the blonde trades blows with the local favorite in such a confident fashion that even the hostile environement doesn't make any difference. In fact, she clatters into Jenna's chest down the stretch and wobbles the brunette on her heels before blasting her across the mouth for a good measure. Pietersen reverts but to the mid-range comfort zone and one has to wonder whether the age difference between the two (eight years) might prove deciding. Jenna's stock in South Africa is next to none (unless you ask Natasha Barnard about that) however Rae was easily dismissed following the Gohler disaster and that looks like a premature call based on tonight's evidence.

Round 3:
Lorena's aggressive approach keeps Jenna under wraps but the brunette begins to work from the inside and tackle the blonde's body which slows the tourist's progress in the third. Rae fails to connect with more shots upstairs and gets wrapped in a proper body assault that allows Pietersen to find her confidence. She leans on the younger model and accidentally head-butts her before piercing the liver area and forcing a clinch out of the German girl. A lenghty wrestling struggle ensues where Lorena actually loses her temper and smacks the brunette on the kidneys which moves the referee into action. The subsequent mid-range exchange lacks outright power with only single punches counting but Pietersen should be satisfied with that round regardless.

Round 4:
Lorena jumps into another aggressive drill but Jenna's high guard withstands the challenge this time and a couple of nasty counter-hooks slam into the blonde's lips before the local favorite crunches a right hook on the temple to drop the mitts down. Ugh! Rae suddenly wobbles forward and eats a brutal uppercut on the jaw which sends her into a tail-spin while the older woman hassles her down to the ropes where she whacks her across the ribcage and sinks into a moaning struggle. That's the first injection of true welter potential as Jenna still has options in that division on both sides of the pond and Lorena learns about it the hard way as she soaks up the elite punishment along the ropes with Pietersen ripping her midsection apart. The German model bellows out into lenghty moaning and fails to stretch her elbows while getting ravaged to the body. She slumps against the ropes inside the final few seconds and Pietersen looks upset at the bell she couldn't force a knockdown at the very least here.

Round 5:
Charlie Webster questions Lorena's approach following that rough ordeal in the fourth but the 23 year old defies the odds and jumps into a jabbing route again. However Jenna sidesteps into safety and shows superior agility to break through on the counter-punching assault that smacks Rae's mitts aside and camps the South African against her face. Ugh! As successful as Pietersen was tackling to the body, she earns a free trial upstairs with Lorena's ponytail spinning around like hamster on a wheel and the poor blonde remains glued to the floor UNTIL it becomes too much. A couple of wild hits on the nose wobble her forward with that semi-conscious look in her eyes before Jenna NAILS her with a vicious uppercut on the chin. BLONDE GIRL DOWN!!! Lorena gets ragdolled to the canvas in emphatic fashion as Pietersen's spell of pressure breaks her resilience. That's a tough one indeed but Rae still climbs back to her feet even though she's visibly rattled. Jenna gets the go ahead to seemingly finish her off and another head-hunting scramble destroys whatever's left from the German's guard. She eats punches like skittles now and almost gets knocked out cold on her feet! The crowd goes wild all around the Sun City resort and another left hook on the nose sends Rae to the canvas for the second time to crown the local starlet's performance! The ref doesn't even bother with the count since Lorena has been officially smoked into a heap!!! KO5 Jenna Pietersen!!!

AFTER: It's tough to bet against Jenna being the nation's best boxing prospect since Candice Swanepoel however the sultry brunette has big ideas on her mind: "Look, this isn't over. I came here not only to win but also announce myself back at the FCBA stage. There's this huge event coming up and I'll be a part of that. I give full credit to Lorena, her instagram account will be very busy again but I move forward to my ultimate goal. That golden bra will be mine one day!"

The crowd errupts in joy as Jenna makes her official claim for the JMDD glory in the foreseeable future meanwhile the very brave Lorena has to be revived from the KO daze and gets escorted back to the spa suites where the medics could take care of her. She's displayed a brawling approach that gave Jenna plenty of trouble early on and Charlie Webster hopes to see this exciting prospect back in the ring soon. Someone like Ann-Kathrin Brommel appears to be a natural rival for the Saxony blonde if she's targets to become the best lightweight in Germany.

Final result: Jenna Pietersen def. Lorena Rae KO5.
