Inna vs Danielle Lineker
(Romanian Invasion vs BBU Independent)
(9-13, 9 KO vs 7-9, 6 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Both these brunettes fell to Mollie King in their last fight but the difference is Inna has secured a management support while Danielle Lineker has lost hers. The Romanian Invasion is making a lot of buzz lately so Inna thinks she can find a clear path to become a true contender instead of wasting her time on gatekeeping duty. Meanwhile even BBU TV's Denise van Outen believes Danielle has run out of steam these days and following her Garnet Gunners' axe she's destined to suffer as mere cannon fodder going forward.

Inna wears a silver one-piece swimsuit & blue gloves. Long black hair tied in a high ponytail. Danielle Lineker wears a black corset with violet trim & violet gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a curled ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.

Round 1:
Danielle comes out swinging and nails the singer with her initial jabbing burst albeit she fails to follow through and gets sucked into a proper slugging dispute rather quickly. Inna barks in anger but delivers the good upstairs and rocks the model's head back before a looping cross finds the nose and slumps Danielle on her heels. Inna drives a hard shot into the Welsh chest but gets caught out when Lineker lashes out from her heels and manages to stick some quick leather into her face as well. Both women continue to trade punches in the center of the ring thereafter with Danielle getting vocal as she catches the Romanian with a solid double on each temple. She then beats Inna with a right-on-right exchange and tags her with one last hook on the nose to steal the round according to Denise van Outen in the booth.

Round 2:
Inna wants to demolish the Welsh model in classic slugging action but Danielle's heard all the media buzz about her career going nowhere and she wants to deliver the upset against the odds. She matches the singer punch for punch during the opening minute but Inna still drives a nasty hook on the chin and clubs the exposed midriff moments later to open a hole the Romanian brunette so badly needed. Inna pounces on the ribcage assault and rocks Danielle off her comfort zone before she bangs an uppercut double on the chest to make the older woman yelp in pain. There's no escape for Lineker anymore as Inna pounds her butt-in-ropes and lays steady leather into her midsection during the final stretch which leaves the former WAG visibly crippled come the bell.

Round 3:
Danielle soaks up more body shots that soften her stance early in the third and Inna is glued into her opponent's ribs before she tags her with an elbow on the boobs. Lineker fires back with a quick double on the mouth but Inna shakes it off without a problem and NAILS the Welsh babe with a crushing uppercut on the jaw on the rebound. Ugh! Danielle wobbles forward but misses the clinching chance and gets SMOKED by a looping blow on the temple that SENDS HER CRASHING DOWN ON HER KNEES!!! Inna yells out in delight and struts back to her corner while the Welsh model almost gets up too quickly for her own good; she beats the count at five and the ref delays the action on purpose giving the local favorite an extra breather. Inna leaps from her corner hoping to finish the seemingly aching foe off however Danielle swings a couple of good hooks on target and stymies the Romanian cavalry before a sudden jug burst stuns Inna onto her heels right at the bell.

Round 4:
Inna comes roaring back at the older brunette but gets clubbed on the chest when Danielle suddenly finds a jug muggin' fury that allows her to dominate the opening minute. Inna has to yield real estate but she enjoys a significant mobility advantage and Lineker just can't close her down before a counter-punching double nails her on the nose and glues her to the spot. On comes Inna again bashing through the leaky high-guard and Danielle wants to clinch her only to find more pesky uppercuts punishing her boobs! Ugh! Danielle is HURT and shows little resistance when Inna simply clobbers her butt-in-ropes thereafter. A furious rally leaves visible bruises on the model's ribcage before a late uppercut on the jaw spins her against the turnbuckle.

Round 5:
Danielle is slow to get up for the next round and gets sucked into a jabbing vacuum with Inna beating her for every punch now. The Welsh model slumps on her heels and just can't stop the singer punching her face into a bruised mess come the one-minute mark before another brutal uppercut spins her into jelly mode. Inna sets up one last punch and NAILS the wilting model on the temple which DROPS LINEKER FLAT ON HER BACK with eyes closed!!! Ref issues a slowish count but Danielle remains unresponsive at six and the fight is promptly called off!!! KO5 Inna!!!

AFTER: Inna shakes her glove over the seemingly semi-unconscious Welsh model who needs to be revived by the medical team. Meanwhile the Romanians celebrate in their own corner where Inna dismisses her tonight's prey as "washed-up slag who earned her frickin' demise!". Denise van Outen suggests the 33-year old singer should look for a more demanding opposition next time around if she wants to become a true contender whereas the fact that Danielle lasted as long as round number five is quite an achievement for the Welsh veteran alone: "If she wants to win another BBU fight or two maybe she should book another meeting versus Louise Redknapp - whom she couldn't knock out like eight years ago! But I'd go with Louise to smoke Danielle down this time!"

Official Result: Inna def. Danielle Lineker KO5.
