Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Sylvie Meis kicked off the 2018 season with a brutal pounding of Rachel Stevens but that means nothing to former disgraced Miss GB Zara Holland who tells Georgie Thompson that "even her grandmother could do that!". Well, Zara doesn't lack confidence for sure but that attitude wins her few friends around Hamburg tonight as she enters the Dutchwoman's adopted backyard in pursuit of a genuine upset. Let's make no mistake, Zara is several years younger than the lingerie model but the odds are stacked against her especially that Meis has tasted success on the FCBA market as well and that's something the Yorkshire lass can only dream of at this stage of her career.

Sylvie Meis wears a black bikini set with silver trim and orange gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a sleek ponytail. Zara Holland wears a pink bikini set with white trim and white gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a custom ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.

Round 1:
Sylvie triggers immediate power assault to scare the fellow blonde off and establish quick authority in the ring however Zara's slugging approach neutralizes the model's plans and it's the Dutchwoman who eats a faceful of leather during the opening round. Zara's speed proves criticial in her outworking the local favorite and she staggers Sylvie in the center of the ring with some sublime punching straight up the middle. Meis tries to adjust her stance but finds no room to work with and bends to the side where Holland picks her off to the body. Sylvie gets forced into deep cover but even though she still has to yield real estate as the youngster hassles her around the ring for remainder of the round - much to the crowd's dismay.

Round 2:
Another aerial assault brings Sylvie only brief success and Zara can take a punch here; she gets rattled with a good series upstairs but doesn't check out of a similar response and suddenly both these hellcats bash away at each other in classic flyweight fashion. Neither wants to yield an inch but Zara shows supreme power and bends the Dutch model into spasms when she tears into her lips and makes her gurgle in discomfort thereafter. The head-hunting drill shoves the older girl onto the ropes and Sylvie can only cover up in desperate fashion while Holland works her over in vicious fashion. She can't quite land enough punches to the body to cripple the Dutch veteran but she runs away with the round regardless.

Round 3:
Sylvie's experience tells her to back off from another fruitless dispute and that forces Holland into a hectic pursuit where she loses her accuracy and allows the Dutchwoman to score easy punches on the counter. That settles Meis into a nice rhythm as she matches the former Miss GB on footwork and slips through with repeated single punches while Zara struggles to make her efforts count in mid-distance. A quick hook across the nose then staggers the English tourist on the back foot which enables Meis to blast through on her cleavage and that's something Zara fails to embrace. She clinches the fellow blonde but Sylvie still reels her onto the ropes to clean out the breadbasket in the closing seconds.

Round 4:
The Dutch recovery continues and Sylvie finds more success ducking & weaving around the English lass before striking her up the middle. Zara gets carried away in her pursuit and allthough she clips the older blonde's chin several times, she doesn't put enough weight behind those shots and Meis duly cleans her out to the body instead. The repeated body attacks slow Holland right down and Sylvie uppercuts her way to rock her head back and pound towards the ropes come the final minute. That vast experience finally comes to the fore and allows the Hamburg resident to really sink the pageant winner into visible trouble as Zara aches her pain out late in the fourth with Meis now punching her boobs up & down and threatening to expose them to the audience! How about that! Zara gets almost punched through the ropes and out of the ring while the Dutch model shakes her glove in delight at the bell and scoffs at her rival: "Had enough? Want more?"

Round 5:
Zara's promising start is all but forgotten now but she manages to avoid more jug muggin' pain early in the fifth while biding her time in mid-range. And now it's the Dutch blonde who jumps on the hassling drill fuelled by a rampant ovation from the German crowd. Sylvie's ex-husband used to play for the local club for years and she's been a regular presenter of the German version of Strictly Come Dancing until last fall so one can understand why she gets so much love around this building. She stacks Holland behind a desperate earmuff but still gets picked off to the body and the relentless pounding takes it's toll come the final minute when Zara trips over her own feet and soaks up another brutal hook to the chest THAT SENDS HER DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS!!! Ugh! That's a tough one for the Yorkshire blonde who looked so impressive early on and now gets decked by the recovering veteran! Coach Gail Kim can barely hold her nerve in the Kats' corner but Holland gets up at eight and yells at the model "I'm gonna wipe that goofy smile off your face, bytch!". Well, that's a bold statement at this stage of the fight but Meis fails to finish her off during the remaning seconds and actually eats a flier on the nose as the English girl lets one rip right at the death.

Round 6:
Sylvie tries to finish the younger blonde off now but Zara recovers quickly from the knockdown which is no surprise given her age. She engages in another mindless bash in the center of the ring but cracks the biggest punch of the lot when she scythes Sylvie's nose and adds a belting hook to the body. She bumps the older woman off but Meis still wants to smoke her into a heap on the spot... she walks into a nasty piledriver that tears a patch under the left eye and the follow up whacks her on the nose to boot... Oi, mama! SYLVIE IS HURT!!! She wobbles forward with a whimper and Holland lifts her off the canvas with a brutal punch on the chin!!! SHE SMOKED HER IN ONE-PUNCH FASHION!!! Meis crashes down on her back hard and she'd be lucky to avoid a broken jaw here! The count reaches six but the Dutch model is outta here!!! KO6 Zara Holland in epic come-from-behind fashion!!!

AFTER: Huh! Gail Kim can't believe it and even Zara needs several seconds to understand she's just send one of the most popular Dutch models sleeping on the canvas!!! Man, Sylvie will have a week-long headache after this sucker! The medics are quick to assist the fallen blonde and she recovers her whereabouts after a few minutes but admits she doesn't even remember the punch that folded her like a cheap tent. Meanwhile Zara has huge plans for the future and claims to be as good as any of these elite contenders and the real star of the Kear's Kats' flyweight division. The ruthless verification of Stephanie Davis in recent weeks also has a lot to do with Holland's sudden confidence burst. Watch out for this girl in the upcoming months!

Final result: Zara Holland def. Sylvie Meis KO6.
