Intro:
Next up Antje Utgaard (0-1) hopes to stay unbeaten in the Diamond Boxing Tournament after beating Lorena Rae in the opening fights. Alexandria Morgan (0-1) meanwhile lost to Jesinta Campbell in a tough contest. Which one of these American blonde beauties battle in London's Royal Albert Hall.

Both women gave their thoughts on camera in a studio. First up Antje wearing a white dress with a black sash and black heels, she sat on the stool flashing a gorgeous smile. She tells the camera "I am relieved to have gotten the first fight out the way with a win." Raising her arms in the air with an excited look.

She then says "I can't wait to fight Alexandria. I don't hold any grudge but she is one of the most physically impressive in this field, if I beat her then I show that my muscles aren't just for show." Making her point as she flexes her arms.

Alexandria meanwhile sits on the stool wearing a black blouse with black jeans and clear heels. She takes a breath before smoking as she smiles "so that first fight didn't go my way." Tapping her legs as she looks nervous.

She then continues by saying "but I have to focus on the future. Antje is the same person who humiliated herself the last time she took part in this tournament. I know I can beat her." Almost like she is talking herself into believing she can beat Antje.

Fight Night! Antje walks out with LeeLee Sobieski behind her. She jogs down the aisle looking excited to fight. Getting inside the ring wearing a red sports bra with white trim, along with matching trunks and shoes, white gloves and her hair tied into a ponytail. She gets a hug from LeeLee as it looks like LeeLee is taking Antje under her wing.

Out comes Alexandria with her coach following her as she makes her way to the ring. She is wearing a white sports bra with gold trim, matching trunks and shoes, gold coloured gloves with her hair braided. Alexandria steps into the ring, stretching in her corner to be ready for this tough test.

Both step to the center of the ring with the referee finishing there instructions. The fighters have hands on their hips with both looking physically impressive. The fighters do respectfully touch gloves with their opponent before walking back to their corner. The bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.

Antje is landing several clean punches straight through the mitts of Alexandria. The Front Street Boxing fighter is herding her opponent around the ring. Alexandria is struggling to put two punches together as her coach isn't happy with her. Antje starting to switch to the body more as she is growing in confidence.

Late in the round Alexandria catches Antje over the top with a right hook when Antje's left glove dips low. Alexandria firing back now as both go more toe to toe in exchanges. Cheeks taking the brunt of the punches up until the round ends. Antje is being told that while she started off well but she can't lose focus like she did there.

Round 2:

Alexandria landing a few double jabs to try to ward off Utgaard, problem is she is fighting off her back foot and an overhand left smacks her on her chin to make her stumble back two steps to the ropes.

Once broken apart they resume with Alexandria gritting her gumshield not to curse as she isn't happy. Alexandria landing more punches back at Antje as she plants her feet more.

Coming out back up on her toes moving towards the left side of Antje. Alexandria is slinging in jab/straight combos as she looks to be trying to keep Antje on the outside. Antje struggling for really the first time to pin down her opponent. Both landing stiff punches with cracks of leather ringing out.

Under a minute to go with Antje nearly clashing heads with Alexandria as she tries to step inside. Both push apart but Antje is not going to back off so easily. Sweeping punches land around the cheeks of Alexandria as she finds herself being pressed back toward the ropes in a late surge from her opponent. The round ends with Antje looking annoyed now that she has been on the back foot. While Alexandria sits on her stool tapping her toes as she knows the wind is behind her sails.

Round 5:
It seems like Alexandria has a read on Antje. She keeps plugging her right fist behind her jab into the left eye, making it swell up more. Antje showing her toughness to keep in at times to land hooks back over the top to make Alexandria have to back off and get back behind her jabs.

Both women letting their hands go with Antje deflecting a right hook to land another straight into the lips of her opponent. The round ends with both just about holding back as they are fired up.

Round 6:
Antje nods to LeeLee after they talk during the break. Antje moving her head more as she was getting too static, taking cuffing blows around her cheeks while landing more solid single shots in return. The crowd loon enthralled with the pair trading, sweat flying off them both when they land clean as a button.

An overhand left sets up a right hook to make Alexandria take a step backwards. Antje ramming home a follow up jab/straight into the face of her opponent. Alexandria looks a little unsure of herself as she looks to fight back. Antje presses her into the ropes, where she lands a flurry of hard shots before she is dragged into a clinch, referee needed to pry them apart as Morgan is holding on tight.

Less then forty five seconds to go. Antje taking a few more clean hits to her face as she gets more aggressive and less focused on dodging to set up her shots. Both women digging their toes into the canvas to make the crowd cheer louder as they see the shots land with real power behind them. At the conclusion of the round there is a little back and forth verbally as Antje makes sure to let Alexandria know she has been worked out. Alexandria not so flattering in her assessment of Antje's talents before they walk to their stools.

Round 7:
Back out they come exchanging around the middle again. Antje looks to have sussed out her head movement to dodge and then lands a straight on the chin of Alexandria, a looping left hook to the ear of Morgan makes her stumble a step to her left.

Antje bounces on her toes in the neutral corner. 7....8... But Alexandria looks out cold. 9....10 it's all over for this one!

Winner Antje Utgaard KO Round 7

After:
Antje with the big win to go two wins to zero losses up. Already she has improved her record from her first time in this tournament. Antje turns and mounts the bottom ropes of her corner, bumping her chest with her right glove to show the crowd that she is the dominant force in the ring.

She hops down and walks to her corner with a big beaming smile after spitting her gumshield into her right glove. LeeLee tells her "you won but we have work to do I see." Making Antje's smile decrease but she nods solemnly knowing her mentor is right, if she is to become successful she needs to deal with fighters like Alexandria more easily.

With Alexandria herself needing to be woken up with smelling salts. Her tournament so far has been two close fights but no cigar for her with her two defeats. She sits up groaning as her head is clearly buzzing. The ringside doctor wants to test her out more as she stands up and looks shaky.

Heading out the ring and up the ramp to the back, Alexandria gets a round of applause for a great effort. She nods to the fans but is being helped to the back. There's still positives to take out of this bout as she looked great in spells, it's all about getting the win at the end of the day, that's the biggest issue she needs to work out how to overcome.

While in the ring Antje gets her left arm raised in victory, she looks like she has been through it with the swelling and the cut. Antje waves to the fans and gives them a big kiss to show her thanks to them. Antje moments later leaves the ring, knowing she has several big hitters to worry about if she is to finish her story of redemption and win this entire tournament.
