Rozanna Purcell vs Elena Santarelli (Ireland vs Italy) (2-0, 2 KO vs 4-8, 4 KO) Results: BBU; Story: Vassago
BEFORE: It's time for the Main Event and Rozanna Purcell simply couldn't be more excited that she was chosen ahead of Vogue Williams to headline tonight's card. The great Irish welterweight dispute remains the talk of the town in Dublin but the two elite prospects still avoid each other for the time being even though the social media tribal war is in full swing these days. However it's Roz who earns the spotlight tonight and while she's expected to maintain her winning streak alive, one shouldn't underestimate Italian veteran Elena Santarelli. Her back-to-back destruction of Peta Todd remains her calling card and while she rides a four fight losing streak, she's got that one punch KO ability in her that Roz simply's can't overlook if she plans to become another welter elite performer.
Rozanna Purcell wears a green crop top, white panties with a green trim and golden gloves. Long light brown hair tied in a sleek ponytail. Elena Santarelli wears a navy blue crop top, white hotpants and black gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a sleek ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the welterweight division.
Round 1: Rozanna wastes little time in connecting with Elena's boobs as she channels the unorthodox route to catch her opponent off guard. Elena responds with a methodical jabbing assault but fails to apply enough power and gets outworked in close range which allows the Irish lass to sneak in with more punches to the body and stall the older woman in the center of the ring. Elena's footwork has always been an issue and she can't navigate herself around the Irish juice with Purcell improving the precision of her attacks with every second. She leaves the Italian glued to the spot and chops away at her body to the point Santarelli seems a little discouraged already. Guest BBU TV announcer Christine Bleakley openly calls the tourist a jobber here and a thumping punch that spins the embattled woman back to the ropes right at the bell doesn't really help the Italian's cause here at all.
Round 2: More pouncing pressure from Roz who makes Elena look old here (Bleakley's words, mind you). She outworks the sluggish model from point-blank range and due to the fact Santarelli can hardly move around here, she gets picked off repeatedly and disappears behind a tight earmuff which forces Purcell to sting her to the body thereafter. A couple of drilling hooks find the liver area and bend the blonde into early spasms but her response only bounces off the tight Irish guard and enables Rozanna to stay on top of the action. The elite prospect then pounds the lacklustre veteran back to the ropes where Santarelli can only clinch herself int safety but still leaks more punches below the elbows and sinks with a whimper when Roz pierces her solar plexus to sign off the action.
Round 3: Elena swings it over the top early in the third like she wants to cash in with a desperate haymaker here already but Rozanna dances around these efforts and counters with another stinger to the body. Elena begins to feel the heat again as she wobbles onto her heels and simply can't buy herself any space with the local girl pounding away at her like she owns the place. The Dublin crowd enjoys every second of this performance and half-way through the round one of these countless chops on the midsection bends Elena into louder spasms than usual, Roz quickly delivers the uppercut double and when the blonde's guard collapses, she has a free shot on the chin which DECKS SANTARELLI ON THE SPOT!!! "It's too frickin' easy!", Christine Bleakley tries not to laugh too much on national TV but Elena has really been exposed here by the elite talent. She beats the count at seven but it's all Roz here thereafter as she pummels the sluggish foe back to the ropes where she delivers more harpoons on the ribcage and leaves the model aching her heart out. Ugh! Purcell enters the final minute pounding away in fury and she literally chops the hapless blonde in half; Santarelli can't keep her gloves high enough anymore and gets stunned with a quick hooking switch when the former pageant winner NAILS her on the brow ridges from both flanks next... ELENA GOES DOWN AGAIN and this time she's not coming back from this anymore. KO3 Rozanna Purcell!!!
AFTER: Vogue Williams is probably the only Irishwoman angry over this result but Rozanna has made it look very easy indeed in front of the full Dublin house. Christine Bleakley won't rain on her parade while throwing the Italian tourist under the bus but one of two neutral experts believe the former Miss Ireland needs to step it up against genuine gatekeepers next. "Irish Times" reports Vogue Williams is schedule to clash with Alex Gerrard later this month and while there's no denying the Roz party tonight, she's not exactly odds-on favorite to topple the dark-haired model when the time comes. However this feud and elite publicity that comes with it is exactly what the Irish BBU roster needed with Una Healy not getting any younger and Laura Whitmore earning harsh press reviews in the UK media despite signing with the Frankie's Foxes lately.
Final result: Rozanna Purcell def. Elena Santarelli KO3.
