(6-0, 6 KO vs 6-5, 6 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: The highly-touted Sophia Thomalla is ready to pounce on the dangerous floater from West Midlands even though Charlie Webster points out Helen George has tailed off the elite conversation ever since losing the title eliminator to Shona McGarty back in 2019. She still carries a great slugging reputation though while Thomalla seeks a detour after Dorota Rabczewska picked Vicky Pattison over her last month to block the German's path into immediate title picture. Sophia refuses to be denied and believes she's an unavoidable target for any current and future bantamweight champion going forward and Doda doing the dirty laundry for stablemate Charlotte Church was a one-off trick that won't be repeated anytime soon!

Sophia Thomalla wears a black bikini set & golden gloves. Long dark blonde hair tied in a sleek ponytail. Helen George wears a light blue crop top, matching hotpants & black gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a braid. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Foxes owner Frankie Cocozza is more busy inspecting Myleene Klass' cleavage so he misses Helen's initial slugging drive that catches the German woman up the middle and allows to Brit to score some easy punches while the Cardiff audience applauds her early charge. Sophia tries to land that one haymaker over the top but has to get into more detailed action as Helen keeps plugging her to the body and almost traps on the turnbuckle before the younger actress escapes the heat at the last moment. Sophia remains in retreat mode as George doesn't take her foot off the gas at all and swings more punches upstairs to stay in the slugging lane until Thomalla finally finds the proper response and bangs a left/right combo on each temple. Helen avoids further drama blasting the German in the navel before a clash of heads stalls the action late.

Round 2:
Helen gets aggressive again and scores a promising early return thumping Sophia in the face but the German quickly finds her zone and plugs a solid response to the fellow blonde's body before driving a left hook on the chin that wobbles Helen on her heels. She tries to swing back immediately but Sophia gets there first anyway and lands another one-two on the chin that makes the Cardiff Arena collectively gasp for air! Sophia steps up from the front (left) leg and bulldozes the leather into the Brit's face sending George into a quick retreat but the pounce continues until the older blonde ends up hugging the ropes and soaks up a late head-hunting flurry with Thomalla in full swing! She nails Helen on the brow ridges and forces the guard to drop so she hammers a vicious shot across the nose right at the bell with George slumping on jelly knees as a result!

Round 3:
Sophia dwarfs another slugging drive from her opponent and begins to flex her muscles as she beats the Brit to the punch and carries more venom to glue Helen to the spot in the center of the ring. Both women exchange heavy leather but Helen has to bail out of the experience first and almost loses her footing as she seeks mid-distance respite. Thomalla keeps it strictly business but still works the high-octane drill which sends George into a rather chaotic journey around the ring; Frankie Cocozza appears to be a little concerned over in the front seats and pushes Myleene Klass off his lap but there's little return from Helen's comeback effort as she bounces off the German's forearms and eats another wicked hook on the brow ridge that tears a small gash and leaves the Birmingham woman shaking her head in frustration come the bell.

Round 4:
Sophia works around that wounded area and shoves Helen's mitts into her face; she ducks underneath a looping effort and plugs the older blonde on the midsection before another uppercut double wobbles George on her heels again. The plucky Brit struggles to make her punches count and has to bide her time in mid-distance which only triggers a cheeky smile on Thomalla's face. She comes back at the reeling Brit and clobbers her onto the turnbuckle where she drills the exposed midriff while Helen grinds into a complete halt in the process. Sophia blasts her up the chimney to further underline her dominance and shouts back at the Foxes camp at the bell with Frankie C. looking extremely upset now.

Round 5:
Helen tries to regain her mojo and lands a couple of good shots into the German's belly but drops her left arm too low and gets blasted on the eye with a swift hook before Sophia steps up and thumps the rack with an uppercut delivery as well. Helen wobbles forward with a whimper and eats a crushing hook on the nose THAT DROPS HER FLAT ON HER BACK moments later to cause a massive stir inside the Arena. Uh-oh!!! Sophia keeps that cynical smile on her face as she walks back to coach Gina Wild in the Eagles corner while Helen scrambles back to her feet at six - almost too quick for Charlie Webster's liking! Will Sophia try to get the job done right here and right now? You betcha! She rolls out with more jabbing haze to clobber the otherwise vulnerable foe onto the ropes where she dissects her high guard and pummels the left brow ridge into more swelling before another quick uppercut finds the jaw and slumps George into loud spasms. She tries to clinch the younger blonde but to no avail and gets CHOPPED DOWN ON HER KNEES when Sophia barges into her liver area with a well-timed harpoon!!! Ugh! Helen bends her head against the canvas and descends into loud spasms as even the screams from her entourage can't save the West Midlands pride anymore. She gets duly counted out few seconds later leaving the German opponent to parade around the ring beaming with confidence! KO5 Sophia Thomalla!!!

AFTER: Everyone knows Sophia is the second coming of Jessica Schwarz by now... and she can probably eclipse her compatriot's career numbers down the stretch. Even the much-maligned Gina Wild can't screw this up! Some fans claim Doda can't hide away from this German streamroller forever but a quick look at the Polish singer's recent result indicates she's not in the best shape right now and would struggle to put up a good fight. "That's not my damn problem! If Doda is too scares to fight me, how about she comes out and says it to my face! Okay, even a random tweet will do!", Sophia lays down the gauntlet during a post-fight interview with Charlie Webster and one must argue these two are simply destined to clash sooner or later anyway!

Official Result: Sophia Thomalla def. Helen George KO5.
