(Fight Club UK vs Free Agent)

Intro:
The second bout tonight sees Lacey Turner fight the debuting Samaria Regalado, the ANZ Stadium in Sydney is the venue for one of the most interesting debuts in a while.

Lacey is 31 years old; she stands 5'3, holding a record of 8 wins, all coming by way of knockout, with only 1 defeat.

Samaria is 26 years old; she stands 5'7, the American Instagram model is making her debut in professional Celebrity boxing tonight.

On paper it looks a mismatch due to Lacey's experience and her record, but Samaria has been dubbed by some as a possible sleeper in this tournament, either way the BBU world is buzzing to see how Samaria actually does in a fight.

In the build up to the fight, the fighters had a video posted on the BBU TV networks website, where first up Lacey sat on a stool in the Fight Club UK stables ring.

"So again I need to jump through hoops to get any chance at getting a title shot, I've had people literally look down on me till they've stepped into the ring with me, nearly everyone has ended up looking up at me as I stand over their beaten bodies" Lacey tells the camera as she stares angrily.

"First up is this damn rookie Samaria, she got into this tournament due to bloody rumours, I am going to show the BBU how much hype really means in a ring, Samaria ain't making it past the fourth against me" says Lacey as she stands up, eyes locked on the cameras as if intensely staring down her opponent.

In a gym in her hometown of Atlanta, Samaria shows off her skills bashing a punch bag, doing weights and shadow boxing in front of a mirror, all the while wearing a red bikini.

After she finishes training, while wiping herself down with a towel, she tells the camera "I've come to the BBU to prove to the world how good I truly am, my amateur record speaks for itself, knocking out my fellow models on my journey to this point"

Posing in front of the mirror with her arms flexed, Samaria grins before saying "Lacey is going to be my first stepping stone towards the BBU title" winking as she puts the towel over her right shoulder and with swagger to her steps, heads off to the showers.

Fight night; Lacey heads down the aisle with her trainer Katie Price beside her, she is looking focused as she bangs her gloves, while staring down at the ring.

The soap star is wearing a navy blue sports bra, matching trunks, shoes and gloves, while her hair is tied back into a fighting ponytail.

Climbing through the ropes inside the ring, Lacey doesn't bother with the crowd, just getting over to her corner, where her and Katie discuss what they are going to do to win this fight.

Now Samaria heads out with her coach leading her out, Samaria looking confident as she bounces on her toes, pumping her right fist into the air as her fans chant her name.

The model is wearing Atlanta Falcons colours, red sports bra with black trim, matching trunks and shoes, black gloves with red thumbs, her hair is tied back into a braid.

Getting inside the ring, Samaria blows kisses to the crowd, blowing one over to Lacey with a chuckle, then heading to her corner to begin her warm up as her coach tells her "show you belong in here with the best babe!"

The referee brings the fighters to the center of the ring, they square up with Lacey intensely staring right through Samaria, who simply smiles back at her, not a hint of worry on the rookies face.

Thudding their gloves together, they nod to each other before turning back to their corners, once they return the bell rings to start 10 rounds of bantamweight action.

Round 1:
At the bell Lacey comes out looking to be aggressive, wanting to pressure the rookie from the off as she slips a jab to land to the body of the model.

Nearly shoving Samaria over with her left forearm to the chest, the referee warns Lacey to keep things clean, she nods to them before resuming looking to bully Regalado around the ring.

A look of surprise is evident on the face of Samaria, she is landing a few clean shots to the face of Lacey, mostly though is getting outworked on the inside by the veteran.

Round 2:
After a stern telling too by her coach, Samaria is looking ready for the charge from Lacey, who is looking of course to just simply do as she did the first round.

A stiff jab from Samaria is putting pay to that early on, the leggy model is showing off good technique to keep Lacey to the outside, landing over the smaller woman's guard to her face.

Lacey has never been the quickest fighter, meaning she is having more difficulty getting in close, at best she is forcing some heated exchanges at midrange.

Looking more confident as the seconds go by, Samaria lands a jab/right cross combo to force Lacey back a step, the model starting to open up more as she backs up a defensive minded Lacey towards the ropes.

When they get near the ropes though, Lacey dips under a right hook, countering with two hooks of her own to the body, just missing with an uppercut as Samaria leans back out the way.

It's the opening Lacey wanted though as she bodies up to her opponent, focusing on chopping the bigger woman down with hooks to the body, some sneaky kidney shots too as she is much more comfortable at this range.

At the conclusion to the round, Lacey doesn't look too worried, even after losing this round, Katie though is telling her to think more carefully about when to strike.

Who doesn't look as happy fighting at this range, the more compact body of Lacey allows her to strike more of Samaria then the American can do with her.

Using her left arm to nudge back Lacey, Samaria is able to land a right cross to the side of Turner's head, followed by a left across her cheek to make Lacey retreat back.

Things get scruffy as there are more shoves now, Lacey trying to keep on the front foot, Samaria trying to force her back to the outside, both landing stiff shots to the body when they get an opening.

The final moments of the round sees Lacey land a hard right cross to the jaw of Samaria, who goes into her shell as Lacey sends a flurry of punches at her till the bell rings.

Returning to her corner, Samaria looks frustrated at not having as much success as she seemed to think she would, her coach wipes her down and explains what they want to see from them going forwards.

Round 5:
Stepping out her corner with a glare towards Lacey, Samaria looks sick of being bulled back, they trade near the center of the ring straight shots to faces, Lacey aiming for the chin of Samaria, busting her bottom lip with a straight.

When Samaria is knocked back near the ropes, she lands a left hook to the side of Lacey's head, opening the Brit up to an uppercut that snaps her head back.

Firing back at the head of Lacey, Samaria is showing quick hands to land beautiful looking combinations, drilling a three punch combo into the face of Turner to send her now near the ropes.

Lacey needing to call on her experience, ducking to dodge as she moves away from the ropes, Samaria not looking afraid to trade with her as she hunts down the smaller fighter.

The crowd roaring as they see the heads of both get turned by stiff shots, a right across the bloody lips of Regalado allows Lacey to move in tighter to work.

In the final seconds of the round though Lacey is shoved back by the left shoulder of Samaria, who lands a right hook to the side of Lacey's face.

The bell rings to end the round with the fighters just about hold back throwing punches, they turn on their heels back to their corners, Lacey not looking bothered as Katie tells her to keep motoring forwards.

Looking up at the heavens before jogging to the neutral corner, Samaria looks grateful for finally putting down Lacey, 1...2...3...4.. Who rolls to her back looking hurt, 5...6...7.. Slowly sitting up, Lacey holds her head as 8...9..10 she is counted out!

Winner Samaria Regalado KO Round 6

After:
Samaria definitely got tested tonight but has answered some questions on her debut, she toughed it out when getting shoved around by her opponent to get the win.

She poses in the corner with her arms up with a big smile, not bothered that a trickle of blood is running from her lips down her chin, instead she is bouncing on her toes looking like she wants more rounds.

All the while Lacey has to be helped up by her coach Katie, she looks jelly legged as she is led back to her stool, when she does sit down she shakes her head disappointed how tonight has went.

Katie telling her "don't let tonight ruin you, you're going to win this tournament, this is just one more thing to overcome" trying to lift her fighters spirit.

The fighters get cleaned up as they exchange a few looks across the ring, mostly listening to their coaches though, Samaria getting told "tonight is the beginning of something special! I feel it and so do all these fans" making Samaria's smile grow.

Coming back to the center of the ring for the final result to be announced, Lacey looks up with her fighting back tears, she can't believe she lost tonight.

All the while Samaria gets her left hand raised by the referee, she jumps up as her fans are on their feet applauding her, Lacey shaking her head in response.

Lacey soon leaves the ring with Katie beside her, Price trying to console her by putting her arm around her shoulders, telling Lacey to keep her chin up.

Samaria on the other hand is beaming, doing a lap inside the ring with her right hand cupping her ear as her fans are cheering her on.

Once she finishes she leaves the ring, blowing kisses to the fans at the top of the aisle, she has Rose Byrne next to look forwards to, another veteran but after tonight she looks like she'll have no fear going forwards.
