(Kear's Kats vs BBU Independent)
(4-1, 4 KO vs 9-2, 9 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE:

With Jorgie Porter moonlightning on the American boxing scene and Stephanie Davis crashing down in flames on the Contenders' Six tournament earlier this year, it's time for former Miss GB Zara Holland to step it up for the mighty Kear's Kats glory. One of the original founding members of the league hasn't had much of an impact on the flyweight division lately but Holland rides a four-fight hot streak and is well placed to emerge as a title contender in the near future according to several rumours.

Meanwhile there's a great deal of pressure on Maria Ozawa who got fired by the Girls Friday four months ago and has since returned to native Japan where she remains the undisputed star of the show (the explicit part of her professional trade not withstanding). Several gravure idols on the Front Street Japan roster struggle to admit that Maria's addition would be an instant upgrade and owner Ayako Hamada hasn't made that decision official yet however BBU TV's Kate Abdo reckons the only thing missing is Ozawa's signature on that multi-year contract!

Zara Holland wears a light blue bikini set and black gloves. Long blonde hair in loose waves. Maria Ozawa wears a red bikini set with black trim and red gloves. Long black hair straight. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.

Round 1:
Maria tries to establish some early authority here but Zara holds nothing back herself and both girls find themselves in a frantic slugging exchange that lifts the crowd's spirits until the blonde slams a left/right combo on the brunette's boobs and wobbles her backwards. Maria pushes off her heels to deliver immediate response but Zara enjoys a shorter route to the punch and NAILS the AV starlet on the nose which allows her to bully the stunned foe back to the ropes thereafter. Ugh! Kats' coach Gail Kim leads the verbal charge from the corner and Zara goes all-in as she wraps the older woman in a head-hunting nightmare that bellows Ozawa against the ropes and leaves her aching in disarray. Even Kate Abdo can hardly believe her eyes but Holland displays the same passion - or shall we say venom - that destroyed Rhiannon Fish and Sylvie Meis in the pageant's last outings. Maria covers up amid more spasms but leaves the midsection exposed and Zara duly cleans out shop to secure the opening round WIDE!!!

Round 2:
Zara's all over Maria's face early in the second launching steady hooking assault to force the brunette into quick retreat. Maria has shown plenty of bad temper before but this is anything but a proper audition of her talents as Zara targets her boobs down the stretch and bullies her onto the ropes again. Ozawa finds a clinching respite but remains trapped on the ropes with the blonde snapping her head and outworking her on the long run. Maria delivers a brief hooking response but keeps dancing around the ropes and fails to throw the blonde aggressor off her stance before another lenghty clinch enables the hosts to catch some breath.

Round 3:
The Kats plan doesn't change at all here but Zara struggles to connect with the head-hunting assault early in the third and eats a jug muggin' response as Ozawa finally turns up the wick! Both girls settle into a close range dispute where the brunette finds her success tackling the blonde's ribcage and reeling her backwards for the first time tonight. She fails to split the mitts upstairs which reverts her back to the original plan and forces Holland to yield real estate when Maria adds a rather intentional head-butt to her armour. No love from the ref here despite Gail Kim swinging the towel in frustration and Maria cleans up more blonde tummy before Zara clinches her into safety in the neutral corner. Bell.

Round 4:
Maria snaps the blonde hair around Zara's neck early in the fifth but the pageant's guard eventually shuts down the Japanese offense and both girls brawl each other to the body while clashing heads again. Ugh! Zara loses her temper when she gets tagged on the nose but gets caught out with another quick strike on the ribs and drops onto her heels while Ozawa WHACKS her with a left cross on the lips. Uh-oh!! Holland stumbles back to the ropes and fails to push off in time so the AV starlet NAILS her with a brutal cross on the nose followed by a right hook on the ear... DOWN GOES ZARA!!! That was what the Tokyo Dome audience wanted to see and Maria leaps in the air upon flooring the pesky Brit... However Zara shouts back at the FSJ camp when she gets up at six and launches immediate head-hunting assault that Maria duly accepts. More flyweight slugging on display that results in blood spillage as things get out of hand FAST!!! Holland wrecks Ozawa's lips with a nasty drive up the middle before blasting her across the navel for a good measure! "Feelin' soft, bytch?!!", she seeths at the local favorite and Maria gets stuck on her heels with a whimper just so she soaks up another brutal hook on the jaw THAT SENDS HER TUMBLING DOWN literally three seconds before the clock expires!!! "Take THAT!!!!", Zara struts back to her corner and Maria's forced to acknowledge the standard count and returns to her corner on jelly legs. Kate Abdo can only wonder what happens next!!!

Round 5:
Zara shows no signs of a knockdown funk but that's not the case with Maria whose lips have been patched up during the break alas she doesn't have the speed required to avoid another furious blonde rush!!! Holland THUMPS her mitts aside to add fresh bruises on the fly but then gets smart and WHACKS the cumbersome Asian on the liver area that bends the local hopes into loud spasms... it's like the entire Tokyo Dome audience took that shot to the liver and before you know it, MARIA COLLAPSES ONTO HER KNEES hugging her liver... Oh, boy! The fat lady has buckled up to sing and there's nothing coach Mizutani can do about it anymore. The count passes the sobbing Maria by and it's a huge KO5 Zara Holland!!!

AFTER:

"The Kats are BACK, baby!!!", Gail Kim is no stranger to cheap exposure and boy, she'd love to get one over Taryn Terrell when it comes to WWE coaching prowess here! Zara keeps yelling at the stunned FSJ entourage and that multi-year contract probably won't be signed later tonight as Maria has been well and truly shattered by a superior tourist. It turned out to be a fan-friendly bash according to Kate Abdo but Zara really needs to be escorted back to the locker room before Kei Mizutani wraps her into something more than a mere verbal dispute! "I'll save the foot kissing for Samia Ghadie!", Zara shouts one last message before being turned away to her staff. On the other hand Maria hasn't felt this wasted since her sixpack gangbang mission a few years back. No wonder Ayako Hamada's facial expression spells a heated Monday meeting in the office. Maybe Reon Kadena steers the Imperial ship back on course next?

Final result: Zara Holland def. Maria Ozawa KO5.
