39 year old Nikki was a stubborn if eventually hapless opponent for Havana Brown in her last fight, and now she takes on 37 year old Romanian babe Elena who has not yet given up hope of challenging for the flyweight title

The girls are in the ring, ready and eager to fight, with Nikki in a red bra and panties set, and Elena in tight yellow vest and blue knickers, the girls sportingly bumping fists before they start hitting one another

Round 1
The fight has started well, with good work from both girls, each looking aggressive, wanting to find an opening, but they’re both defending nicely as well, Nikki moving neatly and quickly, finding Elena with her jab, and at this stage, the Romanian can’t get her act together, having to defend against a rejuvenated Nikki, who seems to be smiling as she bullies Elena around the ring, forcing her into a corner so that she has to stand and fight, bothe girls landing punches, but Niukki’s look crisper and firmer, because Elena’s just trying to keep the Brit at bay

Round 2
Nikki looks to be in control here as she jabs away at Elena, the younger girl’s face already starting to chafe and pink up, and once again she’s getting pushed back to the ropes, Nikki going for another couple of jabs, and now a right hook to follow up – but Elena blocks that and hits back at last, stinging the Brit with her own left hook, and that got her attention, Nikki unsteady, and she has to cover up while Elena batters her ribs with left and right handed punches, Nikki suddenly looking vulnerable as Elena turns things around and thuds some really testing punches into Nikki’s waiting body, the older girl grunting as she takes a bit of hammer

Round 3
Elena knows she hurt Nikki with her bodyshots, so she gives the Brit a few more to be going on with, Nikki backing away, again needing to cover, but she has to fight, not just try to block the Romanian, who slots a nice short right uppercut up between Nikki’s defensive gloves to find her face, and that’s sat Nikki down on her backside, looking rather shocked, the Brit shaking her head to try to clear it, and she’s up again at 6, a nasty little lump on her left cheekbone, and now she’s faced with a rampant Elena, who thuds another combination of hooks into Nikki’s waiting face as she closes out the round, Nikki really beginning to look second best in this fight

Round 4
Bruised, hurt and outclassed in round 3, Nikki has managed to get her mojo back for round 4, and she’s making Elena block and parry herself this time, the Brit getting her jab past Elena’s gloves, and now she’s the girl working her opponent to the ropes with body punching, and her jab’s still picking the Romanian babe off, her face looking like it’s going to be very sore later, as Nikki keeps things simple, not trying to blast Elena’s head off, unusually trying not to get involved in a war as she hands the younger girl a little lesson, Elena needing to get back at Nikki as soon as she can, because this fight has turned full circle in this round

Round 5
Elena’s looking a little fed up, because she isn’t landing those big hooks any more, Nikki opting to score points with her jab, and that jab’s so accurate that she’s cut the Romanian girl’s right eyebrow – it’s not a bad one yet, but the blood is dribbling down Elena’s cheek, and she looks a little untidy with her attempts to take Nikki out with a single blow, missing badly with a right uppercut, and Nikki takes advantage, hits her with a right hook to the ribs, then another to her jaw, then a left, and now Elena’s on the canvas, the Romanian babe looking annoyed with herself for being so stupid, rolling over and up again at 7, but she still looks shabby, and Nikki just calmly hits her face with more jabs through to the bell, Elena’s face a mask of her own blood, which Nikki’s gloves smear over her features

Round 6
Will Nikki up her work rate? Not at the start of the round, as she lets Elena come to her, and she’s trying to work the babe around the ring, Elena more focussed in this round though, and she’s not wasting any energy, makes sure her punches land when she counters Nikki’s jab, sees her opportunity to unload a left to the Brit’s liver and clearly enjoys the result as Nikki slumps forwards and her knees hit the canvas, the older babe gritting her teeth as she hauls herself up at 8, retching and looking really rather sick, but she insists she’s ok, then immediately eats a series of hard punches to her face, a right hook sending her head sideways, then a cruel left hook splits her nose open, then another crashes into her liver, and she’s on her way down already when Elena finishes the job off with a right uppercut which takes poor Nikki off her feet

Result: Elena Gheorghe knocked out Nikki Sanderson in round 6

Once again, Nikki tastes defeat, but she’s putting in some sterling performances, and definitely tested Elena tonight, the Romanian eventually overpowering her, but she needs to improve if she’s to move up the rankings
