"KO Club Classic"
Dorota Rabczewska vs Emma Rigby
(Lioness Club vs BBU Independent)
(14-2, 14 KO vs 6-11, 6 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: "I have no idea why Helen Flanagan hasn't called me yet! What the hell is she waiting for?", Dorota Rabczewska pulls no punches when asked about the bantamweight title picture but BBU TV's Georgie Thompson reveals that the Polish singer isn't exactly the number #1 entry on current champion's hit list. Maybe trying to talk yourself into that all-important money fight isn't the way to go after all since Doda's loud mouth has been widely criticized by her peers over the past few years.

Enter Emma Rigby, the otherwise delightful blonde has seen the good, the bad and the ugly in BBU but still sells tickets in numbers and vows to spoil the Doda party here in Lioness Club's KO Club backyard tonight: "I don't care what Helen does next, I'm not doing her dirty laundry whatsoever so you can forget about those silly rumours. However I'm MUCH better than my record indicates and it's about time I prove these naysayers wrong!"

Dorota Rabczewska wears a red bikini set and white gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a loose bun at the back of her head. Emma Rigby wears a black bikini set and red gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a half-up ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Merseyside girls don't usually enjoy a warm welcome in North London so when Emma drives her mitts into the fellow blonde's tummy, the crowd begins to jeer those efforts immediately. Emma stays put though as if her entire BBU career was on the line tonight; she keeps thumping those shots into the singer's tummy and drives her back into the ropes where she stuns her with a vicious uppercut on the jaw. Doda struggles to get going in wake of this Scouse assault and disappears behind a tight earmuff which affects Emma's execution but enables her to remain on top of her cumbersome foe which draws more hostile reaction from the crowd come the bell.

Round 2:
Emma's high-tempo offense meets a stubborn high guard early in the second but Dorota's midsection quickly gets tackled with more vicious hooks as well and despite landing a couple of good shots on the counter, the Polish singer gets stuck on her heels and struggles to take over the momentum. Meanwhile Emma lashes out at her from both flanks and sticks a couple of jabs on the nose to keep the older blonde at bay. She ducks underneath a hooking swing and WHACKS Rabczewska with a right overhand on the mouth that drops the title hopeful onto the ropes. Ugh! Doda fails to escape the looming follow up and gets NAILED on the jaw with another brutal hooking double THAT SENDS HER CRASHING DOWN onto her backside! Uh-oh! So much for trying to catch Helen Flanagan's attention, folks! The KO Club audience didn't see that coming and allthough Doda recovers onto her feet at seven, she remains trapped on the ropes with Rigby thumping her up the middle for remainder of the round. Upset alert here in North London!

Round 3:
Lioness coach Mel B. hasn't blown her fuse yet but she literally shoves the Polish blonde into more slugging action as Emma's ready to shut down shop and blast the pre-fight favorite into the orbit! Both blondes tangle in the center of the ring and it's all-in now from the Scouser who snaps the singer's head back while chasing that lights out finish. However Doda battles through adversity and begins to rattle the actress around herself; she smacks her across the lips several times and eventually wobbles her onto the heels when a one-two blast tags both temples and cracks the Rigby defense for the first time tonight. Emma steps back and bides her time in mid-distance alas Doda quickly turns it on and threatens to land more shots upstairs that force another back & forth dance from the Merseyside blonde. Emma abandons the slugging approach and shows enough agility to prevent Rabczewska from closing her down afterwards but Georgie Thompson reckons she could have done more to underline her hitherto dominant presence in the ring.

Round 4:
Emma comes roaring back at the Polish singer but Doda neutralizes that charge early and begins to smack the juice into the Scouser's face. Ugh! Rabczewska keeps beating the fellow blonde to the punch and Emma has to yield real estate when she eats a vicious blow on the nose that visibly rattles her backwards. She tries to dance her way around the singer's head-hunting efforts but gets CAUGHT with another brutal hook on the lips and ends up hugging the ropes instead. Doda pounces on her immediately and buries quick shots on the exposed ribcage but gets blocked off upstairs with Emma's desperate earmuff doing it's job. The younger blonde drags the Lioness into a lenghty clinch afterwards but that's a solid recovery from Dorota anyway and Mel B. has every right to be satisfied with it.

Round 5:
Both women tangle in the center of the ring and Doda's slugging efforts slowly bure surely begin to stack up against Emma's face. The Merseyside blonde refuses to back off but she just can't find that early round success anymore and bounces off the high guard too often to make her aggression count. Meanwhile Rabczewska flirts with her midsection instead and delivers more shots around the liver to stagger the Scouse woman in the center of the ring. Emma tries to blast the singer's head off with a classic haymaker but gets stuck on her heels when Doda thumps her rack around and whacks her back to the ropes with a double cross on the jaw. Rigby stumbles to the right and fails to navigate the incoming heat which leaves Dorota pounding away at more tummy flesh come the bell.

Round 6:
Rigby's visibly slow off her stool and quickly gets swamped by another body assault with Doda ripping shots around the elbows to drop the actress into a speedy retreat. However Emma's agility doesn't buy her any respite at all and she gets WHACKED with a piercing hook on the nose that spins her onto the turnbuckle with a loud whimper. Doda's eyes glare in disdain and she sets up a booming left/right combo that splits the weak guard and tags Rigby on the jaw... ONE-TWO AND DOWN SHE GOES!!!! Emma just slides down onto her backside in the corner and she got SMOKED in a proper fashion right there! She mounts a slow recovery and is up at eight but Rabczewska wants to finish her off... she gets that opportunity and steamrolls into the Scouser's face with another whirlwind approach alas poor Emma is almost out on her feet here... Doda pummels her around into a standstill until she literally punches the fellow blonde's gumshield out! EMMA DROPS FACE-DOWN on the canvas and now it's all over! KO6 Dorota Rabczewska!!!

AFTER: The Polish power was on full display in the last couple of rounds but the slow start could have dropped Dorota right off the champinship hunt. Emma is a proven veteran in this league and perhaps she deserves better than to be knocked out of her senses by one angry blonde singer! Doda ignores the fallen victim and asks Mel B. whether Helen Flanagan and that Russian c### will catch this result on BBU TV tonight?

The Polish singer remains in full "win now" mode but several of her peers display similar confidence and have the results to back it up. What's more, Reon Kadena and Chantelle Connelly are ready to raise their bets in Tokyo in a little over 24 hours time so the crowded bantam elite picture is one thing that actually works against Rabczewska's title quest right now. All she can do is win and hope she receives that phone call.

Final result: Dorota Rabczewska def. Emma Rigby KO6.
