(Girls Friday Vs Lookout! Atlantic Boxing)
(Written by Girls Friday/Results by Lookout!)
Intro: For the first time in her young career Dafne Keen steps officially in a BBU ring. Since she turned eighteen earlier this year she has been undefeated in the FCBA over five fights. Jenna Louise Coleman at one time was the number one fighter in all the BBU, she is still a top fighter that is a future Hall of Famer.
Now there is more to this bout then probably meets the eye. Dafne Keen was ringside as her stablemate Ivana Baquero fought her bitter rival Jenna. Jenna won that bout and proceeded to pose over Ivana, it was Ivana who rushed into the ring to push her off, almost leading there to a bare knuckle brawl then. Now the gloves are on and both get to settle the growing issue between them.
Dafne in the build up was interviewed at the Girls Friday gym. She had finished a workout sparring with Ivana. Both sitting on the ring apron as BBU reporter Georgie Thompson. Dafne telling her "I can't wait to get in the ring with that bully. I spoke to Ivana about when she joined the BBU and Jenna called her all sorts of names to try to make her bow down, well Ivana didn't and I certainly won't."
Ivana smiles as she tells Georgie "I am proud of Dafne's growth these past few months. This has been on her mind and while I fight my own battles, the fact that Dafne is wanting to do this as much for me as herself is sweet. Doesn't mean that I will take it easy on her when we spar." Both laughing as they clearly had formed a bond over their time in the stable together.
Jenna on the other hand did a TV interview about her latest shows and the fight came up. Jenna simply told the host "Dafne put her nose in my business. Look she is young and I was happy for her to apologize but she hasn't. You know how we deal with issues, we step into the ring and one of us walks away with our hand raised, Dafne is going to get a lesson from me."
Fight Night! Dafne is out first as she walks towards the ring with Ivana and their coach Taryn Terrell. Dafne is wearing a black sports bra with silver trim, matching trunks and shoes, silver coloured gloves, while her hair is tied into a ponytail. She climbs into the ring tapping fists with Taryn and Ivana.
Here comes Jenna with her coach Nicole Ritchie. Jenna looks relaxed as she walks down the aisle. Jenna wearing her traditional tardis blue coloured sports bra, trunks, shoes and gloves, hair tied into a ponytail as she gets into the ring. Jenna bounces on her toes looking over at her opponent without any hints she is worried about this fight.
The cameras outside the ring catch an interested spectator. Millie Bobby Brown is in the VIP section as a guest of her stable. There has been rumours and it has been known that both her and Dafne have been watching each other closely.
In the ring both fighters are now at the middle of the ring, Ivana has stayed outside the ring as clearly Taryn doesn't want her to rile up Jenna any more then needed. The fighters square up at the center of the ring, causing the referee to step in to nudge them apart. When told to touch gloves it was a quick swipe. Walking back to their corners with eyes firmly locked across the ring. The bell rings to start 10 rounds of flyweight action.
Round 1: Both start off circling with guards high, trading single punches as they look to establish control. Jenna lands a short left cross but takes a right hook to her ribs in response. Things heating up after a few moments as they stand to exchange a flurry of punches before they separate and reset themselves.
A missed right cross by Jenna leaves her open to two left hooks under her ribs, Jenna hissing and giving Dafne a shove with her left glove to create space. That exchange seems to have given Dafne confidence as she steps in to land several two to three punch combos, moving back out when the heat starts to come her way.
Jenna looking annoyed she isn't pinning down her opponent. Dafne focusing quite a bit on the torso of her older foe. Late in the round Jenna catches Dafne with a left cross and a straight to her face. Crowding her against the ropes as her supporters cheer. The bell rings soon enough though to end the round. Jenna giving Dafne a two handed shove to the chest, trying to rile the younger woman up. Dafne is held back by the referee as she tells Jenna to try that again. Taryn tells Dafne to keep her cool when she returns to her corner.
Round 2: Stepping back out to resume, Dafne still looks a little ticked off. The wily old fox seems to have gotten under her younger opponents skin as Dafne opens up a little too much, getting pegged into her face by straight punches as Jenna moves around up on her toes. Both fighters letting their hands go more in the exchanges.
Dafne manages to close up with Jenna to exchange hard body shots. Both snarling at each other before Jenna pulls Ivana into a side headlock at her left side. The referee splits them up with Jenna getting a warning. They resume with Keen being overly keen to get at Coleman, taking a left hook on her cheek followed by a straight to her forehead to snap her head back.
Herding Dafne around the perimeter of the ring. Jenna is looking the crisper punching as she is in control, Dafne is bubbling over temper wise. Soon the round ends with Dafne shaking her head as she stamps back to her corner. Ivana tells her to ignore Jenna, don't let her rent space in her head. Jenna meanwhile smirks across at them.
Round 3: Dafne takes a breath before they fight on. Trading more stiff combinations as they face off around the middle of the ring. Dafne burying several of her punches around the belly button of her opponent, making Jenna grit her mouthpiece not to groan out. Jenna landing back into the forehead of Dafne to ward her off that route of attack.
Slipping a straight punch; Dafne counters with a left hook on the chin of Jenna, an uppercut follows to push the former champion onto her heels. Dafne crowds her now into a neutral corner as she throws a barrage at Coleman, who covers up nicely but still takes a few clean hits through her guard to make her grunt as Ivana wills her friend on.
Holding onto Dafne, Jenna lands a few rabbit punches behind the head of the younger woman. The referee splits them up with Jenna getting a final warning as the referee looks like they want to grab control of the fighting before the rules get completely broken. Resuming with Dafne not best pleased, especially as she takes a few double jabs square into her face. The round ends with Jenna staring daggers at the Girls Friday corner. Dafne's cheeks are flush as she is getting thoroughly pissed off at her opponent.
Round 4: Doubling up her jab more to try to control the distance, Jenna is fully locked in judging by her eyes. Dafne still manages to let some body shots go. A right cross around the side of her head though makes Keen back off, with a jab landing into her face to push her further back.
Jenna is herding Dafne around near the ropes. Dafne lands a few solid punches out her guard but she is being kept on the back foot by Jenna's precision striking. Jenna especially seems to enjoy giving Dafne a taste of her own medicine with the body shots.
A left cross catches Jenna late in the round on her jaw, Dafne uses the chance to close inside to work away. Both going toe to toe in close range with twenty five seconds to go. Hissing and grunting as they land flush, sometimes hitting an arm or elbow. The round ends with the referee quick to get between them to stop any afters as they are ordered firmly to return to their corners, doing as told as they scowl at their opponent.
Round 5: Fighting in closer range as Dafne looks to push the tempo up a notch. Problem for her is Jenna uses her left forearm to nudge her back. A short right cross catches Dafne on her cheek. Jenna pressing back the younger woman onto ropes, swinging in short hooks around the guard of Keen.
Holding onto Jenna to slow her down. Dafne is getting insulted by the veteran as Jenna tries to upset her. They are split apart with both coming in hot when they resume fighting. Dafne nearly headbutts Jenna on her chin as she rifles in two body shots.
Less then a minute to go; Dafne is caught with a double jab to her forehead. Jenna follows with a right cross as she has the youngster backing off. Dafne covering up as Jenna looks to break her down. Soon enough the round comes to an end with both fighters exchanging a few unpleasant words.
Round 6: Exchanging right away as soon as they get into range, Jenna is starting to throw more cross punches to try to back up her opponent. Dafne has other ideas as she crouches under a left cross and lands a left hook into the liver area of Coleman! Who haunches over slightly as she gasps.
Jenna is weakly trying to punch Dafne, who shows no mercy as she stares angrily at Jenna. More body shots fly in to make Coleman cry out. TILL ONE TOO MANY FORCE JENNA TO COLLAPSE DOWN TO HER KNEES BEFORE GOING TO ALL FOURS!
Dafne barks "stay down you old bytch" before being nudged towards the neutral corner. 1....2....3.....4... Jenna is kicking the canvas with her right foot as she cradles her stomach. 5....6....7... Jenna can be heard gasping as she spits her gumshield out. 8....9....10 that's it! Jenna is counted out!
Winner Dafne Keen KO Round 6
After: Dafne raises her arms above her head to take in the loud cheers of her supporters. She then marches over to Jenna to press her foot on her head, yelling "you are finished you old bytch! Me and Ivana aren't going to let you bully anyone else!" As Nicole rushes in to nudge Dafne off her fighter and shields her to protect her.
Laughing at Nicole before heading off to her corner. Dafne is giving a big hug from Ivana, Taryn fist bumps Dafne as she tells her "you know that there's even tougher fights ahead, Jenna is tough but the champions are where you want to be" making the youngster nod in reply.
All the while Jenna has an ice pack placed onto her stomach. Jenna fights back tears as she tries not to give the Girls Friday mob any more pleasure. She sits on her haunches taking in deep breaths as Nicole calls Dafne a lucky cow to show the ill feeling between the two stables isn't going away anytime soon.
Things don't look like that will improve when Millie Bobby Brown now steps into the ring, checking on Jenna to see if she is ok. Dafne sees her as she is cleaned up and her gloves taken off. Millie stares back at her too and before the crowd know it the two young women are squaring up as Dafne steps out her corner.
Neither says a word as they lock eyes, hands on hips as they show the other that they ain't afraid of them. Millie asking "so you want some of me huh?" Making Dafne reply "oh I am going to get you in this ring and I am going to beat you." Making Millie smile at her. They nod to each other as the battlelines between them are firmly drawn.
Millie helps alongside Nicole to get Jenna out the ring. Jenna not looking too pleased not to be the one in the spotlight. If history has proven Jenna will be back with a vengeance after Ivana and Dafne. Jenna telling Millie "I hope you kick her arse" as they head to the back.
In the ring Dafne gets her left hand raised by the referee to make it official this result. Dafne bows to each side of the ring to say thank you to the crowd before she steps out the ring with Ivana and Taryn. Ivana looking excited for her friend as she talks about Millie. Taryn doesn't look so keen as Millie had such a hell of a rise in her own career. It would be a hell of a risk for Dafne to fight someone who has proven to be a superstar in her own right.
