Michelle Keegan v Samaria Regalado

(Written by CBR/Results by Lookout!)

Michelle cozily sits in her chair as the pre-fight interviews start, politely smiling at the cameras, pretty in a classy black dress and high heels, legs crossed, acting as if she's almost bored while the host talks about how her last fight gained a lot of media attention and more. Right after her victory, Michelle was challenged by Samaria Regalado, who vowed to avenge her friend's loss, now the fighters meet with the media and Michelle starts with a yawn: "So.... a washed up Hollywood cougar tourist wandered into BBU and got her ass kicked - and people liked it! Now, this overweight model-nobody, riding on the fading fame of an old lady I beat up last month wants me to beat her up too, and I'll be happy to do it.", she pauses for a moment, expecting a response from her opponent, but gets no reply, Samaria just nods, sitting across the room, in her bright yellow short dress, smiling, as if what Michelle just said has nothing to do with her. Michelle continues: "But let's get something straight - the last fight had two celebrities fighting, this one has one celebrity - me, fighting some anonymous... lingerie model I guess". She stops for a moment to give Samaria a chance to respond, but again she gets nothing, before she says: "So there's no way this fight will be as popular as the last one and it's gonna be very short, as I said, four rounds max.". Her words remain ringing in a weird moment of silence, before the host turns to Samaria who patiently waits for her turn, smiling, ignoring everything spoken so far.

She slowly begins her speech with: "Hi everyone, first of all, I'll tell you Jessica has fully recovered and we had fantastic training sessions together, I learn so much from her", but Michelle barks: "What can she teach you? How to get knocked out in no time?", to which Samaria smiles and nods, then continues "And I am ready for this fight, I can't wait to get into the ring and shut this annoying bitch up. And that's all I have to say.", then she gets off her chair and leaves, leaving Michelle puzzled and disappointed as she accomplished nothing with her verbal provocations.

It's fight night and Samaria is first to walk into the arena, she confidently stomps in with her golden colored gloves up in the air before sliding between the ropes and hopping out of her yellow silky robe for a quick run around the ring, showing off her magnificent body, her curves tightly hugged by a tiny golden shorts and top, drawing a loud welcoming roar from the crowd, before she comes back to her corner to get ready for the fight.

Michelle is not in a hurry to get into the ring, she syncs her every step with loud music and her light show choreographer entrance, which even includes a little dance before two dancers show up and do a flip before they push the ropes so she can get into the ring with an elegant swing, her black robe flying off her moment later to reveal herself in a black shorts and top. She's milking every second of her entrance, waving with her black gloves to the crowd and blowing kisses, riding on the thunderous support from the audience as she finishes the show with a little dance around the ring. But soon, the ref calls the fighters and gives them short instructions, they bump gloves and the bell rings to mark the start of 10 rounds of bantam boxing.

Round 1:

Samaria goes into a melee right from the bell, slamming a right into Michelle's face and swinging a left, forcing her to jab and retreat. She does eat a couple of big rights, but it seems as if she's expecting Samaria's aggressive approach. Even better, she's got something for it, a stiff jab into Regalado's eye, a quick hip that lets her dance sideways off the ropes and to the center of the ring, a stinging combo of hooks that splat into the sides of Samaria's boobs as she misses with another right. And she doesn't stop there, she has enough time to jab the model's face before getting out of range of her golden gloves. Regalado chases after her, but again, fails to connect and receives a well prepared punishment. The crowd roars in support of Michelle's tactics as once again, she lets her opponent come in close range, ducks under a punch and delivers a couple into the face, then a combo to the chest. As the round progresses, Samaria seems to slow down, she's still pushing forward and swinging big shots, but she's even less effective and scores almost nothing, while her face shows a few lumps from Michelle's fists. She's either not agile enough or not smart enough to do anything about her and can't find her rhythm until the end of the round, resulting in Keegan landing a lot and taking the round wide, and confused Samaria trying to figure out what is she doing wrong as the bell rings.

Round 2:

Sticking to the plan, Samaria attacks aggressively as soon as the bell lets her, but a welcoming committee of leather awaits and smacks her face and boobs as she comes in Michelle's range. The amount of punches taken compared to a few given is becoming alarming after a few exchanges, but as if she didn't learn anything from the first round fiasco, Samaria still tries to catch her agile rival with powerbombs, it takes one to stop her in her tracks, but it doesn't happen, instead her already puffy and red face receives more and more blows. It's Keegan's fancy footwork that lets her get out of harm's way and strike from a desired angle, soon driving her slower opponent into a stand still. Weirdly enough, Michelle's boxing smart, she's agile and she's using all her advantages to score a lot of well aimed punches, she's boxing pretty much like Jessica in their last fight, while Samaria is trying to do what Keegan did last time, but she's not doing well tonight. The british beauty blasts another combo into Regalado's face and the first rows of the audience get sprayed with blood as she stumbles backwards, covering up her face. Michelle goes after her and blasts a right to her side, then an uppercut into her boobs that makes Samaria wince and put her guard down, only to receive a massive direct punch to her nose, then the model takes a wobbly step back before falling back down on her ass. Michelle almost walks into her as her left is still swinging, but she manages not to trip over Samaria's body and quickly hops back to her corner to let the ref start the count. The curvy golden lady seems dizzy and takes her time sitting on the floor before she gets on one knee and finally stands up at the count of eight. The ref checks her up and although she doesn't look pretty like she was two rounds ago, she convinces the ref she can go on and the ref lets the fight continue. Michelle wastes no time and slams a right into the face of her foe, but Samaria covers up and her gloves take the brunt of the incoming combo, while she retreats into the ropes. Keegan switches targets and methodically blasts her ribs and belly, sneaking sharp uppercuts into her boobs, making her wince and shudder under the barrage of blows. Hurt and trapped, with her back into the ropes, Samaria takes serious punishment as the wild brit strikes with all the power she can master, and another combo to the boobs makes Samaria drop her guard. Michelle rocks her head left and right with a nasty set of hooks, Regalado's legs buckle as she tries to stay up right and just as the ref tries to step in for a standing eight, the bell ends the round.

MIchelle bangs her gloves together before she turns back and struts to her corner, she takes the round by shutout, but she seems disappointed as she sits on her stool, she had the match in her hands, but she failed to finish it. Across the ring, Samaria's team clean her up and frantically work on getting her in shape to continue the fight. Even Jessica joins them, holding an ice bag over Regalado's hurt boobs and giving advice on how to turn this fight around. Surprisingly, Samaria smiles and nods back to her, she went down almost twice in the last round and Michelle battered her well, her left eye is well swollen and her busted up nose is bleeding, but she looks very confident and more than ready to go on.

Round 3:

Michelle launches herself at Samaria, with lefts and rights flying wild. Some graze Regalado's forehead, some bump off her gloves, a few slap her boobs, but none of them do anything significant. A step back and feinting a left hook, Samaria invites the Brit to come forward with another combo, and she does, but this time the model fires a welcoming right that sinks deep into Michelle's belly driving all the air out of her lungs. A nasty blow she walked into leaves her almost doubled over, gasping for air and instinctively covering up. Samaria drops an overhead bomb into her face, but steps back from Michelle's jab. Keegan is now going forward with her right and scores a good one, but again, there's a blow to her flanks followed by an uppercut into her solar plexus. Stopped in her tracks, she takes a one-two to her boobs, then a massive right to her ribs that has her wincing as she backpedals. Regalado is after her, she eats a jab to get in closer and deliver yet another flurry of the blows to her body. Keegan steps back, but she doesn't look that agile, her fancy footwork can't get her out of range in time and a devastating right catches up with the left side of her face, sending her entire body reeling on a weird trajectory to the left and into the ropes. Michelle is in trouble and she knows it, she covers up, but that's not of much use when a fighter with such punching power like Samaria can freely swing at her opponent. And there she goes, a cracking left to the flanks, a right between the boobs, a left hook into the guard that has Michelle's gloves fall to the side and paves a way for a fantastic right that explodes into Keegan's face, sending her body back into the ropes to bounce off them and splat forward to the canvas. What a comeback for Regalado, she rose from the last round knockdown to send her rival down to the mat, and the crowd gives her a loud roar of support as she goes back to neutral corner while the ref starts the count, towering over MIchelle. She had the victory in her hands, but now she finds herself on all fours, trying to figure out how to grab the ropes and get up before the count reaches ten. And she does it, she's up by nine, and as far as the ref is concerned, able to continue fighting. Samaria sends a jab into Michelle's face and steps back, taunting her to come forward, but the Brit stays put. Again, the model strikes with a playful one-two before stepping back again, but still, her opponent doesn't chase her. Samaria then slams a hook into the dizzy actress's face and walks back with her guard down, shrugging her shoulders, but Michelle refuses to engage in combat. The bell ends the round that goes wide in Samaria's favor, along with the fantastic psychological play in which Regalado looks like she can do whatever she wants, while Keegan seems scared to even approach her.

In her corner, Samaria looks confident, smiling as her team works on her face and hurt body. Both her and Jessica are very happy with her performance tonight and it looks like the model is doing her best not to seem affected by all the punches she took tonight, she doesn't care about her swollen eye and she won't let the cameras or her opponent see how much her boobs hurt under the thin shiny material of her sweat t drenched fighting attire and a pack of ice held over therm. Michelle doesn't care about any of that, her face shows Samaria was in charge for the whole round, and the atmosphere in her corner suggests that she and her team are looking for a new approach to this fight. Her promise of a knockout victory in the fourth round now looks like a joke as she just almost got knocked out, and the fight will continue into the fourth round just because her rival decided so.

Round 4

Before leaving her corner, Samaria gets a pat on her bum from her friend and she hops to the center of the ring to meet Michelle, who's banging her gloves together, ready to mix it up once again. Dead set on making her promise, Michelle pushes herself forward with strength anew, blasting Samaria's face with a nasty hook followed by a left uppercut at close range, opening the tap on her nose again, but more importantly setting herself in a position to fire away at her aching ribs and boobs. Her rival takes another barrage that rocks her body, but sends a big right that lands into Michelle's face. Stunned by the blow that came out of nowhere for her, the Brit freezes and gets a left into the solar plexus and a right over her nose. Samaria sets her left into Michelle's sternum to push her away to a proper distance to set her up for a right that is on its way. The blow sends her reeling backwards, trying to regain her balance and unable to mount any defense as Regalado approaches her again. It's a tried method of going after her body, then head, and it works. Keegan does her best to outrun her foe, to avoid her and counter, but it seems that Regalado is making her slower and slower with every successful exchange, and as the round progresses, with more and more of devastating blows, she replaces Michelle's fancy footwork by almost static flatfooted stance in the same manner as she transformed her from a dolled-up beauty to a battered and swollen fighter with a grimace of pain on her face. And as her opponent becomes less and less dangerous, Samaria takes a glance at her corner as if she's looking for a signal from Jessica to end the fight, then she shrugs her shoulders and continues her methodical beating on Michelle's face and body, frequently grabbing and pushing her around to get her into position for a good shot. Keegan is in hell, completely dominated by the curvy model, she fights back, but can't hit much as her vision is probably impaired by a nasty cut over her eye, and it looks like she's out of punching power after another crushing blow into her solar plexus. The ref might help her out and stop the fight if she would give up her pathetic attempts to fight, as it becomes clear that Jessica will not call Samaria to knock her out any time soon. A desperate clinch gives her time to get some air into her lungs, but as soon as she's pulled off Samaria, a massive right explodes into her face, distorting the world around her, the buzzing in her ears blending with the sound of the bell. Finally, her tormentor turns away and slowly walks away to her corner, leaving her to clear the cobwebs. Michelle's leaning back on the ropes, holding on to them with her right arm, and it takes her some time to drag herself towards her corner, her team meeting her half way and helping her to her stool.

In her corner, Samaria celebrates the round in which she dominated, yes there is a lot of work to be done by her team, but it's all being done with smiles and friendly chat. Jessica looks worried as the ring doctor approaches Michelle's corner, she doesn't want her to end the fight on her stool, and Michelle and her team share the same opinion as they do her best to convince him that their fighter is fit to fight. And they do, instead of giving up, she gets off her stool and sets off for another round.

Round 5:

After four explosive rounds, the fifth starts with two fighters circling each other, only occasional cautious jabs whizzing through the air in front of the silent crowd, the tension rising a notch every second as the whole arena awaits the mayhem to continue. MIchelle doesn't look to be in particularly good shape, but she moves and jabs, while Samaria looks bored, taunting her to come forward. But a couple of moments later, Regalado decides she had enough and launches herself with a leading jeft cross to clear Keegan's guard, swinging a right deep into her belly while her left hook pastes an expression of pain onto Michelle's face and has her stumbling backwards, her legs go jelly, almost tripping over themselves, getting her right on the spot for a nasty right that dispatches her face first into the corner. Michelle's switched off mid air before her head splats into the corner post and her body slides down collapsing to the canvas. The ref doesn't bother with the count as the british fighter is out cold and he calls in the medics, while Samaria runs out of neutral corner to meet her team and Jessica that stormed into the ring to celebrate her victory.

Samaria Regalado wins by KO in Round 5.
  
It's all hugs and kisses, Samaria the avenger comes out rather battered up, but victorious, and the press catches her hanging on Jessica's shoulders, smiling and mumbling through her mouthguard "This was for you babe! This was for you!", before turning to meet the media. She takes her guard out and, still shaky from the adrenaline rush, quickly states that: "I'm done with her, it was a good fight, she's no push over, but I was just more motivated to win this one. I hope she's well and I'm open for a rematch anytime." before she leaves to meet the announcer and the ref in the center of the ring for the official declaration of her victory. Meanwhile, medics perform their magic and bring Michelle back from dreamland and drag her into her corner where they clean her up and work on her to get her into a good enough state to leave the ring. For a moment they are interrupted by Alba who comes over with an evil smile and a few cameras to take a couple of pictures next to the badly beaten semi-conscious Michelle, before she's escorted out, handing on the shoulders of her coach and the medic.

Later, the press gets a chance to speak with Samaria, still in her golden robe, busy packing her stuff that's scattered all over the room, but she's happy to share her thoughts on the fight, even though her face looks like she's been through hell, there's a big smile on her face: "I didn't enjoy this fight, I love to test my skills against good fighters, anytime, but this time I was under massive pressure to win it. And Michelle used that against me, but then, when I was down, I realized that that's the best she can do, and once I rose back to my feet I loosened up and started fighting the way I like to, the way I want and I broke her defenses instantly. Now that the fight is over, it just stuck me, I knocked out a big name in the league. Keegan accomplished a lot and this victory is a huge step for me! I wonder if I could do it if it wasn't for such a big motivation to get in there and prove myself. That's why the fourth round was all for my friend Jessica, and when I proved my supremacy, then it was time to call it a night. ". Out of nowhere, a homing missile drawn by the media and publicity, Jessica pops into the frame and joins Samaria who has to politely, but firmly, hold her back in what looks like a tight friendly hug, so she can finish her interview: "I can't speak much about GBA's plans, but I will just say that you'll see both of us collaborating much more very soon".

Michelle drops a quick video on social media, right after being checked up by the medics, sitting on the bench at the infirmary, in her silky black robe, patched up, but broken down, disappointed with her fight tonight, she speaks softly, almost sobbing as she states that "I'm not sure what happened, but she won. I can tell you she can punch, but her victory proves nothing. Even though I lost, I believe I'm a far better fighter than she will ever be and she knows it. Now, my dear fans, I have to recuperate, heal, and get back to training as I need to be ready, stronger than ever for the upcoming challenges and victories!".
