Intro:
Tonight's action here in the Royal Albert Hall kicks off with two women looking for their first wins in the Diamond Boxing tournament, Kate Bock (0-2) and Charlotte Flair (0-2) might still have aspirations of winning the entire tournament, getting that first win on the board needs to be the main focus.

As with each round of the tournament, the fighters were asked to give their thoughts on camera before the fight, with the videos played on the FCBA Network before the clash took place, first into the hot seat was the beautiful Canadian model Kate Bock, wearing a red dress as she sits on the stool looking serious.

"So I can't pretend the tournament has started the way I wanted, I won't make any excuses as these defeats are on me, now is the time for me to move on and take the fight to the rest of the field, I can't dwell on the past, hopefully you all see how I've improved" says Kate, she doesn't mention her opponent as she leaves it at that, which probably won't sit well with Charlotte if she sees the video.

With Charlotte sitting in a black dress with a low cut front, eyes burning a hole through the camera, this is a massive week for her as she has this fight and one with Ronda Rousey on Friday at Boxermania, so she certainly won't want to end the week with two more defeats on her record, hence why she bluntly says "are we enjoying my defeats?" To the camera.

"I see the fans commenting they are glad I am getting my comeuppance for being arrogant, news flash people I am arrogant because I am the best, this week I remind you all of that fact when I knockout Kate who? Nobody cares about Kate, Ronda! Well I'll remind her soon enough who is the better fighter, this is a warning to the rest of the field, I am f**king pissed off" pushing the stool away as she stands, storming out the room looking furious.

Fight night, first onto the aisle comes Kate, she blows a kiss to each side of the aisle before walking to the ring, looking relaxed at the moment, she is wearing a red sports bra with white trim, matching trunks and shoes, white gloves with red thumbs, her hair tied into a ponytail, she steps into the ring looking serious now as she shadow boxes to warm up.

Here comes Flair as she walks onto the aisle, wearing a black robe with small diamonds attached to it, once at the ring steps she has her coach help take her robe off, revealing a black sports bra with white trim, matching trunks, black shoes, black gloves with white thumbs as her hair is tied into a braid, no theatrics tonight as she just walks up the steps and climbs into the ring, looking like she has a point to prove.

The referee brings the fighters to the center, where they intensely lock eyes in a stare down, Kate shaking her arms to keep them loose, Charlotte with a look of disgust on her face, when told to touch gloves Flair just turns and walks to her corner, not showing any respect as usual, Kate shaking her head as she heads to her corner, soon enough the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.

Round 1:
At the bell both come out trying to step into their punches, it looks like a fencing match to start as the one on defence takes a step back, then tries to land their reply, opening thirty seconds showing both have good footwork but not much landing to get the crowd going.

That changes when Kate slams a jab into the chest of Charlotte, stunning her long enough for a right then a left hook to land on the cheeks of Charlotte, Kate pushing her back to the outside as she takes the center of the ring, Charlotte already looking annoyed.

Flair being forced to box near the ropes, being outworked as Bock looks fired up, Charlotte managing to land a crisp one-two combo to force her opponent back a step, she gets clipped across her chin by a left cross when she tries to force the issue, making her retreat back.

Final minute sees Charlotte start to make some headway, landing more combos out her guard, leading to some heated exchanges as both women lay in the leather, crowd cheering Kate more then Charlotte on, at the bell it's a solid start for Kate, Charlotte not looking best pleased by that fact, though she has always struggled to be a front runner in fights.

Round 2:
Back out they come now warmed up, trading more punches in their exchanges, Charlotte giving Kate a real taste of her power as she lands a right cross on the jaw of the model, a left hook just misses as Kate retreats back, Charlotte now the one holding the middle of the ring.

It looks like the center is going to be key for both women, where Kate was outworking Charlotte, the wrestlers tactic is to try to bully back Bock, using her left to give Kate little nudges, Charlotte is then throwing in some mean looking hooks behind the shoves to make Kate grit her mouthpiece not to grunt out in pain.

Kate grabs the right arm of Charlotte as things turn scruffy, both landing rabbit punches with their free hand as the referee steps in to split them up, once they resume Kate works on her toes, moving more while throwing her jab as she looks to get her rhythm back.

But Charlotte is hunting her down, both stinging the others beautiful face with straight shots, at the bell Flair gives a "woo!" To her opponent, showing her who came out on top this round, Kate returning to her corner taking a deep breath to keep her cool, not wanting Charlotte to get into her head.

Round 3:
Charlotte comes out her corner looking to keep the pressure on her opponent, getting stuffed to her face though by stiff single straight shots, Kate more mobile now as she looks to outbox the wrestler, Charlotte not giving up the chase so easily, lands a nice left cross to the cheek of Kate before a straight into her lips.

It's a hard fought opening minute as both catch the other with some hard shots to get the crowd whistling and cheering, Charlotte eats a double jab on her lips, missing with her own sweeping left hook as Kate steps back, then Kate lands her own counter right to the chin of Flair.

Back goes Charlotte as Kate now opens up on her, four punches land smack into the center of her face, Charlotte needing to clinch up when her back touches the turnbuckles of the neutral corner, both big women grapple as the referee struggles to break them up,

Once they are told to fight Kate is quick off the draw with a flush one-two combo into the face of her opponent, Charlotte starting to shell up as Kate drives her around the outside part of the ring, the bell rings with Kate jogging back to her corner, Charlotte staring daggers into her back.

Round 4:
Stepping back out their corners trading around the ring, Kate starts off well behind that crisp jab, opening a cut on the bridge of Charlotte's nose as she looks like she can't miss it, Charlotte to her credit is staying on the front foot, not wanting Kate to get away from her.

It seems to pay off as Kate doesn't realise she is near a corner, a jab to the chest of Kate opens her up to a straight to her forehead, Charlotte driving her into the corner, where she starts beating the abs of Bock, her head pressed towards the face of the model as she roughs her up.

Another clinch as this time Kate drags Charlotte into a front headlock, referee warning both to keep the fight clean when they are split apart, venomous looks being exchanged as they are told to fight, both slam in a stiff jab at roughly the same time as they bark in effort.

Final minute seeing Kate being driven onto the ropes after a right cross hits across her face, Charlotte again working the body, taking a few clipping shots to the side of her head up until the bell rings, Charlotte gives Kate a two handed shove into her jugs, with Kate showing her defiance to shove Charlotte back, referee needing to jump in to break them up before they slug it out after the bell, cooler heads prevail as they return to their stools.

Round 5:
Kate looks like she wants to force her control over the action, stepping in to exchange more with Charlotte in closer range, taking a few hard shots around her cheeks, KATE MISSES WITH AN OVERHAND LEFT, INSTEAD AN UPPERCUT LANDS ON HER CHIN, SENDING HER DOWN TO ALL FOURS!

Crowd go wild as they stand up with some urging Kate up, others shouting for her to stay down, Charlotte tapping her gloves together as she jogs to the neutral corner, 1...2...3.. Kate shakes her head to clear the cobwebs, 4...5...6.. Pushing to her knees still blinking rapidly, 7...8... Kate is up with a little shake of her legs, raising her gloves telling the referee she can fight on.

The referee waves them to fight, Charlotte not needing an invitation as she is straight onto Kate, a right hook smacks Kate's head to the side, she is wobbly legged as Charlotte bashes her back onto the ropes, an uppercut rocks Bock's legs, KATE NOW LEANING AGAINST THE ROPES AS PUNCHES SMASH INTO HER FACE, NOT REALLY DEFENDING HERSELF AS THE REFEREE MOVES IN TO WAVE THE FIGHT OFF!

Winner Charlotte Flair TKO Round 5

After:
Charlotte gets on the tournament scoreboard with a win now after two hard defeats, it shows what it means to her as she heads to the center of the ring, arms out at her sides as she gives the crowd a "woo!" To show she owns this ring tonight.

Kate isn't happy as she looks at the referee, even as she is holding the ropes to stay upright, asking "why did you stop the fight?" With the referee making it clear it was for her safety, her coach needing to console her as they give her a hug before helping her to her stool.

The winner meanwhile returns to her own corner understandably beaming, taking a drink of water before pouring some over her head, Charlotte gives a "woo!" That certainly won't please her beaten opponent, she started this tournament off by fighting hard opponent's in Robyn Lawley and Karlie Kloss, this victory though has given her an outside chance of making real strides in this tournament towards the top of the rankings.

While Kate once she gets her sea legs back under her tosses her gloves on the canvas and gets out the ring, this is certainly not how she wanted to start this fight to go, maybe seeing Charlotte as one of the easier options to face in this tournament, she still has several heavy hitters to face to not help her mood.

In the ring Charlotte gets her right hand raised by the referee at the center of the ring, she poses for the cameras with her hands on her hips, an imperious look as if she demands respect from the fans watching this at home.

Stepping out the ring soon enough, Charlotte tells the nearest camera "I hoped you watched Ronda, you are next" then struts to the backstage area, still having a major test to look forwards to on Friday at Boxermania 6, at least now she heads into that fight with momentum.
