Federica Nargi vs Chloe Khan
(1-4, 1 KO vs 1-0, 1 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Federica Nargi has suffered from some questionable match-making so far but she hopes to finally arrive on the BBU scene in front of her home fans as she vows to demolish the curvy West Yorkshire lass Chloe Khan tonight. Chloe - who splits her time between Europe and Dubai these days - stopped Nabilla Benattia's jugs last summer but remains a mysterious prospect and Federica's manager Martina Colombari wants to make sure the standard rules are followed which could help the Italian entourage here in Rome tonight. 

Federica is fired up for this one and Chloe's mind games don't work so well since her opponent claims not to understand a word of English which is a far-fetched assumption according to BBU TV's Charlie Webster. Chloe tells the viewers she's still gonna "punch that cow topless" but let's see what the hosts have brought here as Nargi is all ready to go as well!

Federica Nargi wears a light blue bikini set with white trim and white gloves. Dark brown hair in loose waves. Chloe Khan wears a lacy pink basque top, black hotpants and black gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a curled ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Chloe's monster I-sized rack is such an obvious target that Federica wastes no time in connecting with it even though we're supposed to follow the standard rules. The Yorkshire brunette gets caught out by a brutal uppercut attack and slides onto her heels while the local model pounds away in fury to gain immediate advantage. She whacks the stunned Brit back to the ropes and camps inside her midsection thereafter keeping the pressure on! The crowd roars in delight when Chloe begins to wince in pain while trying to shake off the fellow brunette but it's all Nargi here as she thumps the English ribcage on speed dial and connects with the jugs again come the final minute. Khan slides against the turnbuckle and can barely deliver a punch here before the bell mercifully interrupts her struggles. Ugh! Maybe she spend too much time enjoying the Dubai sun over the summer after all? Charlie Webster questions Chloe's fitness regime since you don't get extra points in boxing for topping the instagram followers' quota!

Round 2:
Federica is much quicker on her feet while Chloe seems to be sagging on her heels upon the initial impact again. She does well to avoid another uppercut route but still finds it impossible to stop the Italian from clattering into her ribcage. Ugh! She wobbles forward and bumps her chin against the top of Fede's shoulder which only fuels the Italian's punching rate. She seemingly intends to cut the Yorkshire lass in half and pummels her butt-in-ropes all to easily for Charlie Webster's liking. However Khan bounces back when she finds a rare overhand on Nargi's jaw that spins the showgirl back before another left cross tags the nose and drops Federica into mid-distance. Chloe leaps into life in the final minute and tries to whack her foe up the middle but Fede's footwork allows her to avoid the British rush and probably secure the round on points proper.

Round 3:
Chloe ups her work rate and engages in a furious mid-range tangle early in the third and while Federica manages to thump her jugs again, another cruel hooking double nails the Italian on the nose and pushes her backwards. Khan tries to find a piercing cross and hands the Italian's guard a solid jabbing test before Nargi's footwork makes the difference one more time. Khan's stalking tactics fall short of the mark and she swings through hot Mediterranean air which keeps coach Martina Colombari in surprisingly good spirits. Chloe seeks a verbal taunting route but Fede only sticks out her tongue and laughs at these efforts - so maybe she does understand English after all - while the Brit runs out of gas in her futile pursuit. Ugh! Charlie Webster wonders what's the cardio status here for the Leeds native going forward and that Dubai sunbathing tenure could really backfire on her really soon!

Round 4:
Nargi keeps cashing in on the supreme footwork to avoid Khan's jabbing rush so she settles into a steady counter-punching route while allowing the Brit to swing wide of the mark thru several desperate heaves. Chloe gets visibly upset when she bounces off the high guard just past the one-minute mark and eats a quick rally on the jugs as Federica becomes more aggressive. However she fails to reel the younger brunette backwards this time and gets nailed with a vicious left cross on the nose instead; Chloe channels some rare close range opportunity and gallops into the Italian's chest herself which tames the crowd support. Federica trips back to the ropes and soaks up another quick series to the body which leaves her yelping in discomfort. She tries to swing back at the charging Brit but gets caught flush on the jaw and Khan lands the overhand she was looking for before... uh-oh!! Fede's knees buckle underneath her and she fails to embrace the follow up cross hook on the jaw THAT DROPS HER DOWN IN THE CORNER!!! Big punch from Khan who almost bounces her tits into the referee's face as she jumps for joy... that's unneccessary delay here for the busty tourist alas Federica climbs back to her feet at seven and sends a verbal tirade at the smiling Brit over in the opposite corner. There's not enough time remaning for Khan to double up on that knockdown but those loud jeers from the audience indicate she's firmly on top of this contest now.

Round 5:
Federica has no choice but to avoid that British leather rush early in the fifth; that Mediterranean blood must be boiling inside her veins but Martina Colombari sticks to her counter-punching plan that worked so well for a while when the JMDD route got closed. Chloe's all on the chase here but still doesn't match the Italian's mobility even though she almost wins the round by default considering all the Nargi backpedalling. The crowd doesn't like it but avoiding further damage remains the chief target and Khan just can't shut down shop on that looming victory. She grazes Federica's forearms and high guard and almost wobbles into a proper hit on the jaw as Fede rallies late off her heels so she must be sick of that defensive tactics already. Keep it calm down there, gurl! Coach Colombari is extremely vocal during the interval but it's advantage West Yorkshire at half-distance!

Round 6:
Chloe's early jabbing sends Federica into that defensive funk again but the loud crowd support eventually leads into a proper response from the local showgirl who works the overhand route and stymies the Brit's aerial attack. However Khan refuses to back off when she has Nargi right where she wants her and only a couple of piercing hooks on the jaw make her think better off it... Nargi lands another crisp hook on the temple but finds the breakthrough when she connects with Chloe's rack and lifts some flesh into the fellow brunette's chin. Ugh! Khan misses a key hook upstairs and has to fend off more phone booth heat as Fede drills her to the body and stacks up in the corner when the punching rate proves too hot to handle. A wild swing catches Nargi on the jaw but she bursts one on the nose herself and SINKS Chloe on jelly knees. Both girls look a bit rattled by that vicious exchange however the Italian recovers first and cleans out Khan's midriff to rally late into a commanding position!

Round 7:
Apparently Chloe knows little about taking it easy but she struggles to match Federica's supreme footwork again and gets picked off instead with the Italian still needing to recover from that previous knockdown. Chloe's tactical choices are questioned by Charlie Webster as the intended head-hunting prowl bounces off the high guard and allows Nargi to cash in downstairs. Both women clash heads in another desperate phone booth struggle but Federica keeps her balace and delivers a quick uppercut flurry to that huge rack again. Khan gets dropped on her heels and lacks outright power while punching from the back foot so she eventually gets reeled into the ropes where Nargi uses her tummy as a punchbag in the closing stages. And the Yorkshire lass looks and sounds HURT as she gets swamped by the relentless pounding... she bellows out against the turnbuckle with a whimper and the Italian crowd roars it's loudest of the night in response to Federica's tremendous showing!

Round 8:
It looks like Khan has run out of gas as she remains glued to the spot early in the eight while Federica dissects her high guard almost at will... she can't stay off the Brit's midsection too long though and thumps her on the heels again while shaking off a clinching attempt... she clips Chloe's jaw but then finally finds that big strike on the exposed cleavage and wobbles her foe into loud spasms... Khan loses her balance and almost face-plants all on her own but Nargi still makes her pay with a zipping hook on the liver area... AND CHLOE TUMBLES DOWN ONTO HER KNEES simply unable to take it anymore!!! She bends her head against the canvas and looks physically spend even after recovering at the eight count. Federica's all over her moments later and keeps it strictly downstairs to haul more shots to the liver area and Khan ends up backed into the corner where she gets frazzled outright! Ugh! She drifts away into nothing but painful yelps and half-turns to the ropes while Fede pounds her tummy into a mush... AND KHAN GOES DOWN AGAIN... she literally crumbles into a heap and can't stop aching her heart out which prompts the referee to call it a day right there and then! KO8 Federica Nargi!!!

AFTER: This could be a career-defining victory for the sultry Italian who climbs the ropes and blows kisses all over the arena as Chloe slumps into a sobbing mess down in the corner. Ugh! She had it covered at half-distance and couldn't close it down in the end. No coffee for you tonight, gurl! Martina Colombari drags the sobbing Brit by the hair and sends her for a tearful Walk of Shame with Federica flexing her biceps and even trying to shake some booty as we go late night TV action once Chloe's basque top gets pulled down to reveal her assets in full. This wasn't a JMDD contest but the hot-blooded Italians sure enjoy this extra punishment with Chloe hiding her face between her gloves. She's fortunate to escape without getting butt-whipped but Charlie Webster reckons she'll get stoned tonight anyway. One simply cannot compute this loss while staying sober!

Final result: Federica Nargi def. Chloe Khan KO8.
