Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: It's time for another exotic boxing showdown in the Far East where Michelle Tan steps into the ring hoping to pile more misery on the lacklustre Nicole Scherzinger who somehow didn't call it a day after the St. Paddy's Day disaster when she couldn't last a full round versus fellow cougar Jenny McCarthy. The less said about that stinker the better and one has to wonder whom the Hawaiian dynamo has to fight to be considered a favorite these days?

Fast forward to Michelle who claims to be way above the Singaporean supremacy feud between Queenie Sia and Jamie Pang alas she fell to both these women last year so perhaps that explains why she's seeking other options in the boxing universe.

Michelle Tan wears a white bikini set & red gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a custom ponytail. Nicole Scherzinger wears a yellow bikini set & brown gloves. Long black hair tied in a braid. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Michelle doesn't exactly follow the slugging route and gives the Hawaiian veteran almost too much time to settle in with a steady jabbing effort that dominates the opening minute. Some fans expected Michelle to blow the struggling foe up but Nicole controls the mid-range exchange and profits from her opponent's half-hearted approach to stick several single punches on target. She becomes more aggressive come the final minute when she pounds the fitness freak onto the ropes and drills some of the exposed midriff but that's probably one area where Tan should be bulletproof for lack of a better word. She clinches the singer into a stalemate but needs a much better performance soon!

Round 2:
Lack of urgency comes at a big price for the Singaporean brunette who has to soak up another sudden jabbing rush as Nicole begins to set the aggressive tone and tries to slug her way into a commanding position. She ignores Tan's midsection this time and stalks her with a high-octane aerial pounce which allows her to knock the head back & forth until Michelle stumbles onto the ropes and barely escapes the jabbing trap at the last moment. She dekes away from the singer's zone but has to default the series as Scherzinger swings with more confidence and still nicks in several crisp single shots during the second minute. Michelle tries to stand her ground late but bounces off the fellow brunette's forearms and can only clinch the veteran instead. Don't look now but Nicky leads 20-18 on the cards!

Round 3:
Michelle's had enough of getting outworked by the seemingly washed up cougar and cranks up the jabbing volume to match Nicole's intensity in the opening minute. The Hawaiian woman refuses to back off at first but then eats a hard right hand on the jaw and wobbles to her heels which allows the fitness influencer to rip more shots up the middle. Nicole tries to restore control but gets punched on the breasts often enough she has to think better off it and spends remainder of the round in a shaky retreat using all those dancing skills she learned over the years. Michelle is too chaotic to deliver a slam dunk series but still rattles Scherzinger with a late double combo on the nose that leaves the singer sagging on the ropes at the bell.

Round 4:
Michelle opens the fourth with hard one-liner on the singer's nose and quickly stacks up a head-hunting series that overwhelms the Hawaiian cougar. Nicole tries to recover some of that early mojo but simply struggles to take a punch whenever the Singaporean woman dissects the high-guard which leads into a one-sided series in the second minute. Nicole barks in her efforts but wilts under the aerial pounce and stumbles to the side when Tan nails her with another left/right combo. She tries to deke away into mid-range again but to no avail as the Asian woman barges her in the chest and quickly pummels back to the ropes where she digs more vicious leather below the breasts and leaves Scherzinger aching her heart out come the bell.

Round 5:
Nicky is slow to get up and Michelle gives her the AMD treatment Briana Evigan would be proud of. She laces the singer's otherwise toned abs before gashing the liver area as the Hawaiian cougar tries to apply the clinching stalemate. Tan bumps her off and unloads a brutal uppercut on the jaw that tags the ailing singer on the ear and SENDS HER CRASHING DOWN ON HER BACK amid a loud cheer from the partisan audience. Michelle raises her arm in the air and one might start the celebrations as Scherzinger remains frozen on the canvas and makes no genuine effort to beat the count. Ref realizes that too and waves the count off at six. KO5 Michelle Tan!!!

AFTER: It will be difficult for Michelle to silence the Queenie Sia/Jamie Pang buzz anytime soon but she claims to be a better fighter than Jade Rasif not to mention some of these Instagram models seeking celebrity boxing exposure: "I'm ready to take anyone who has the courage to come to my backyard! There are several big names whom I can totally beat up and it's only a matter of time before people realize I can easily become Asian bantamweight champion! You've heard that right! My story has only just begun!"

Official Result: Michelle Tan def. Nicole Scherzinger KO5.
