(Kear's Kats vs BBU Independent)
(19-21-1, 17 KO vs 5-7, 5 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Lovely redhead Nikki Sanderson didn't hold back in cheering for Inna to knock the stuffing out of Michelle Keegan last week and now she wants to deliver a similar beating on her own. With Keegan currently nursing her wounds and unable to respond to the challenge, the next girl up turned out to be Emmerdale's Fiona Wade who follows her own agenda: "Look, Nikki and I still hold a grudge over these useless Coronation Street wimps. Nikki wants Michelle to lick her ass but I want to settle a rubber match versus Samia Ghadie! Oh, yes! That little trollop has it coming soon! I hope Nikki understands that I have a real job to do so she's going down tonight no mercy style!"

Nikki isn't best pleased when she learns Fiona wants to rain on her parade: "Huh? Excuse me? Fiona is so full of crap! Michelle and I are the way to go and every single BBU fan wants to see this happen! Well, maybe me pounding Michelle's face into a bloody mess and then her ass-licking skills! Nobody wants to watch how Fiona and Samia frickin' Ghadie are throwing creampuffs that couldn't hurt a fly! Grr.... Damn, I'm gonna shut her up and then some tonight!"

Nikki Sanderson wears a red bikini set & white gloves. Long dark carrot hair tied in a curled ponytail. Fiona Wade wears a black bikini set with white trim & red gloves. Long raven-black hair tied in a thick bun at the back of her head. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.

Round 1:
Grudge billing suggests the bout could turn into a proper slugfest especially in the flyweight division. Add to this the fact Fiona is born in the wrong decade for some and we have a slugging contest alright much to the Wembley crowd's delight. Heavy striking right up the chimney from both girls but Nikki's the one who gradually outworks her foe and lands the better punches as we head onto the second minute. She stuffs Fiona up on her heels and keeps piling pressure over the top even though she bounces off her shoulders along the way. Chaotic striking here but the crowd enjoys that and Fiona scowls in pain when one of the redhead's hooks nails her on the eye. Ugh! Nikki whacks her on the belly button for a good measure and pounds her back to the ropes where she lands more body shots to keep the brunette shutdown for the remainder of the round.

Round 2:
Nikki might enjoy this bout much more than her doubleheader against the Perkins siblings a couple of months back as she can match the fellow veteran's intensity even in the early going. Fiona barks in her head-hunting efforts which are maybe too predictable at this stage but Sanderson ain't a top-notch performer anymore either. These women know how to sell a boxing slugfest though as they rip into each other's bodies to raise more crowd volume in the process. Denise van Outen wonders how long they can keep going like that but just let 'em at it, hun! Fiona lands a wicked uppercut on Nikki's chin and thinks she's got her sliding but nope, the redhead only grunts out and delivers a big punch on the nose that leaves the raven-haired beauty sailing instead... Wade drops back to the ropes and takes another wild swing on the jaw that pins her in trouble as Nikki's late flurry to the body is only halted by the bell.

Round 3:
More slugging over the top makes Nikki really aggressive here as she chops one strike after another into Fiona's face! The older actress is cruelly outworked here in the opening minute but she doesn't have much agility in her to escape the close range rush. Sanderson's thirsty for some damage and leaves some visible bruises on her rival's face while Fiona cuts thin air or bounces off the top of the redhead's forehead... Ugh! Another big swing crushes into her jaw and wobbles her back before Nikki gallops into the chest area to catch the reeling brunette even more off guard.. butt-in-ropes she goes and even the clinching effort turns ugly as Nikki powers thru the mitts and sinks Wade into more uppercut nightmare! Nikki does everything right here except flooring her opponent so one can excuse her angry rant come the bell!

Round 4:
Nikki literally runs across the canvas to connect with the aerial strikes as Fiona appears to be a little spooked following that tough previous round... she dekes away from the initial attack but still gets smacked on the nose as the redhead reaches all out to secure the hit.. Wade responds from the back foot but struggles to make an impact as the younger actress shows superior intensity and ends up stalking the exotic opponent around the turnbuckle again. Fiona covers too much space backpedalling and pays a price when Nikki catches her with a wicked double on the temples before a left hook finds the nose and opens the late floodgates. Wade is pinned against the turnbuckle and loses the furious head-hunting exchange which makes her groan in pain at the bell while Nikki seeths in joy: "You're fucking done here soon! Can't run away from me, bytch!"

Round 5:
Kats' coach Gail Kim wants Nikki to cash in on her increasing presence in the ring: "Just go ahead and knock the old slapper OUT!!" but it's easier said than done as Fiona finds enough guile to avoid a true disaster in the opening minute and bides her time dancing around the redhead's hectic jabs. She can't deke around like that forever though and gets whacked on the nose with a big piledriver when the guard lets her down again... Nikki squares up to her in no time and bumps her back with a hook on the temple; the response comes flying around the ear and Nikki unloads the juice when she nails Wade on the lips outright TO SEND HER CRASHING DOWN ONTO HER BACKSIDE!! Ugh! Big one-timer finally broke the brunette's resilience but she still gets up at six and takes a delay lecture from the ref when she spits out her gumshield on purpose. "You little tramp!", Nikki wants to resume the slugging drill ASAP but becomes too trigger-happy in the process and the otherwise reeling Wade survives while losing style marks. Nikki's mid-range pounce isn't as good here and she runs out of steam while Fiona finds a late aerial flurry to keep her honest against the run of play.

Round 6:
Nikki rolls out with the head-hunting cavalry but eats a wild punch from the inside as Fiona decides to meet her in the center of the ring with a slider on her own... Nikki carries through to tear into Fiona's left eye but is stunned by an uppercut herself and wobbles to the side as both women are sucked into a phone booth slugging hole... one for one punch as Fiona must be aware she's fallen behind on the cards and wants to prevent the looming whitewash.. Sanderson refuses to buckle and gets vocal again as she wants Wade stuck in the phone booth alright... but she gets smacked on the chin too often to dominate the action anymore as the Emmerdale actress ups the volume of her grunts while slicing the redhead's guard aside... Nikki goes low but bangs off the hip and gets spiked on the mouth repeatedly... Fiona leans on her so much she almost delivers a headbutt here but nope, she only sticks a harpoon downstairs to throw the younger woman off... ugly stuff in the final minute as both hellcats runs out of steam and Nikki tries to blow a groin shot outright before digging her elbow into Wade's rack which prompts a late pep talk from the man in charge.

Round 7:
The intensity of this bout drops right down in the opening minute as Sanderson whiffs on the put away drive and has to grind this one out after all. She stil feels at ease in close range but her efforts to burst into Fiona's chest bounce off the forearms while the Emmerdale brunette works the harpoons around the elbows in order to make something happen.. both women clash heads but the fight keeps plugging along... Wade looking worse to wear but still with a spark in the eye... she dekes away and has the redhead chasing her... a small change but it makes Sanderson angry again... more whiffs from the younger woman as she taunts Fiona to show some... Gail Kim looks nervous in the corner and maybe she should be as Fiona rifles a left hook and tears into Nikki's mouth before a late close range duel ensues again... both women huffin' & puffin' until one of them runs out of fuel.. it's Nikki who plants her foot badly and tweaks her ankle a little just as Wade nails her with a wicked hook on the jaw... Ugh! Nikki drops back but can't avoid a late double on the nose that rings more bells than one!

Round 8:
Fiona pushes for a comeback and cracks a left hook on the mouth again with Nikki's guard going AWOL here in the opening minute... she wants to slug back into contention but leaks too many crisp shots upstairs and gets staggered behind a tight earmuff just as Wade gets vocal and deploys the harpoon barrage. Ugh! Sanderson gets picked off to the body but still refuses to slow the attacks down and wants to beat the brunette punch-for-punch... and she gets smoked on the nose while reeling back after Wade pours more leather up the chimney... she nails the sluggish redhead on the chin a couple of times and spins her to the side when she blows into her temple with a drilling hook.. Nikki stumbles forward with a whimper and gets blasted on the nose outright which leads into immediate blood spillage... Hammer Time!!! Nikki wants to inhale oxygen thru her squashed nostrils but only inhales a brutal right hook that sends her packing!!! DOWN SHE GOES!!! A half-spin turn before crashing onto her side and my oh my, most of the fans didn't see this coming!!! Sanderson wipes the blood across her mouth and begins to choke on some tears here but she refuses to ride off into the sunset... brave girl! She's up at seven but what next? Fiona has all the ideas what's next as she DRILLS the wounded area tearing the wilting guard to bits and knocking Nikki's head around... Ugh! You can hear the redhead scowling for mercy but the brunette just piles on more misery until she literally knocks her stupid! Nikki's guard collapses as she chokes on the tearful misery and eats a gut shot just to set up a whupping uppercut on the jaw to send her DOWN AND OUT!!! Sanderson exits stage left as she goes down in a tearful & bloody heap to rise no more!!! KO8 Fiona Wade!!!

AFTER: Fiona literally pulled this off at the last hurdle as she wasn't getting the decision no matter what according to Denise van Outen but she suddenly really springs to life as she yells at the sobbing redhead who finds no willpower in her to get up: "Gawd, look at ur mug! Gonna mess my boots with all that blood! But hey, YOU!!!" - points at Gail Kim - "come on over and lick my boots!!!", "F### you!", Gail Kim makes the decision to enter the ring to attend her fallen protegee but as she comes within striking distance.. BOOM!!! - Fiona sends her cartwheeling onto the ropes with a right hook on the jaw! How about that from the ole chick? Born in the wrong decade? You wish!!! Nikki groans out in horror when she notices that her coach ain't getting up anytime soon after that shot and begins to crawl into safety but Fiona comes flying down on her and drops the previous concern about getting her boots dirty: "Ah, f### this! Gonna lick my boots here, cow! I'm doing Keegs some favor since you're frickin' done here! Get that tongue ready! Nice girl... hey, Keegs I'm betting some on you wiping the floor with this #### too!" 

Nikki completes the full licking cycle in 60 seconds and is left spread eagle sobbing her heart out while Fiona announces her plans to take down Samia Ghadie in a rubber match for the ages next: "Yep, everyone loves to see Samia getting knocked out of her senses! Gonna dump it all over that Corrie slut! (...) Huh! Man, I need a drink or something... this was one tough scrap tonight!"

Final result: Fiona Wade def. Nikki Sanderson KO8.
