Before: Series of leg-scissor battles between these two proves inconclusive: mutual decision made to escalate to the ring in search of decisive victory. "When you wrestle Saffron," Deeley explains in prefight, "you find that yes: she is bendy; yes, she is very long in the leg, and it's almost impossible to scissor her up tight. But IN wrestling her, I realized that I am much stronger than Burrows. I'm confident that when chins are pitched into the bargain that I will separate myself from Saffron in dramatic fashion!"

Burrows frosty in rebuttal: "This fight boils down to breeding," Saffron says, eyes challenging anyone to contradict her. "I have it: Cat - sadly - does not. London girls have been trouncing Birmingham sluts for generations, and that trend will continue!"

Cat in deep evergreen bandeau bikini with laced up top between jugs; yellow gloves; blonde hair curled/loose. Saffron in pale blue bra and panties from The Bank Job; white gloves; long brown hair curled and loose.

R1: Saffron: stiff legged; hands up/closely grouped chin-high, the elbows slightly tilted to either side. Cat looser-limbed, stalking to her right - right hand dangling, left elbow in tight, left hand out front/about navel high. Saffron jabbing from a high-elbow look - flicking the left hand out; opening up wide with the right hand to swing it palm-down into Cat's leftside ribs. Deeley backhand-flipping her own jab back in response - looking to dip in and sweep the looping overhand right onto Saffron's face - frequently spooking Burrows out of her stance. Minute mark: Cat able to strap that wild right hand upside Saffy's head: long brunette legs lock up as she totters backward/babysteps forward all wobbly butt. Cat delighted - loads up a big right hand well behind her to swing it lusty to Saffron's ribs - following up the jab in Saffy's mouth to punch her ropeside. Burrows hurt - sagging against ropes as Cat torments her via galloping, long-limbed body-shellack - blonde girl bouncing both mitts off tight brunette midsection. Saffron eventually able to tie Cat up - even punch a few gangly rights into Deeley's belly in the grasp...Cat bogged down as Saffron escapes the first. Bell: Cat grinning dimply as she pushes off; seething Saffron puts right hand at her ear, then leans in to poke her elbow-tip hard into the bony blonde chest-plate! Cat crying out like she's been staked: ref intervening as Saffron's all snarling lips/flashing eyes.

R2: Enraged Cat beats the ever-lovin' tar out of Saffron Burrows. Looping right hands - Cat turning the punches over palm down as the strike to jaw - stagger Burrows, throwing her onto the defensive. Cat jabbing thereafter, or steering palm-down hooks into her foe's breasts to keep Saffron from answering: blonde girl slugging brunette to the ropes with long-limbed strapping. toe-to-toe, at range - girls prod pushy, inefficient tall-girl jabs at each other's faces - both scoring - but it's Cat's follow-on right crosses that spank off Saffron's face, draping brunette stunned in ropes. Scooping right hand to the pit of Saffron's stomach bunches her up "UHH!" - she's all doubled over helpless as Cat packs flat-knuckle rights in above Saffy's left hip - blonde girl's right elbow out to the side as she ram-stamps the blows in. Saffron clattering to all fours in distress, but it's just the beginning of her problems: after 8 count, Saffron finds herself sliding along ropes - wrists crossed in front of her face to ward off a non-stop torrent of pushy blonde lefts and rights. Not alot of well-thrown leather here, but sheer ferocity enough to put Saffron on her knees in a corner: Cat shrieking down at her, forcing ref to push her back. Burrows on trembling legs down the stretch, forming face-in-gloves off the ropes as Cat opens up wide to strap brunette ribs/flanks: Saffron paralyzed by the lanky savagery. Pay back elbow from Cat after the bell thwarted as ref manages to get in between - but tempers flaring nonetheless through 2 tempestuous heats.

R3: Cat roaming counterclockwise, hands low...Saffron with the awkward hands up/elbows out look that's leaving both her head AND ribs exposed. Deeley flopping her left hand out backhanded just to spread Saffron out: it's the looping overhand rights that continue to devastate Saffron, turning her head aside as her hands stay chest-high. Half way through, succession of free swinging blonde haymakers has Burrows' knees a-knockin'...Saffron driven to knees-and-forearms again, looking sleepy and punished. Burrows beats the count, sags against ropes in earmuff: Cat hops on in to deploy romping lanky finish. Deeley all bendy backed as she hoists rights and lefts into Saffron's trim tummy - or twisting on blonde hips to strap wide shots to brunette flanks. Burrows numb in the pocket, but answering back late: well placed right hand scoops at Cat's trunks, bunching her up hurt, stopping her offence. Burrows baring teeth, lapping long-armed lefts and rights at Cat's tummy: blonde girl whining in pain, nearly driven to her knees as Burrows turns the tide. !0-8 Deeley round converted to 10-9 as Saffron rallies hard: ref giving sullen brunette a proper shake by her elbow for rough-play in the third.

R4: That sticky, high-elbow jab of Saffron's taps and chips at Cat's face...blonde girl sputtering as the nuisance knocks add up. Deeley pushing back rights and lefts in response, slapping at Saffron's face - girls leaving a lot of leverage on the table by not getting their backs/legs into blows. Down the stretch, Saffron separates herself with a series of swinging palm-down rights curved into Cat's ribs: blonde girl grimacing, forced into ropes for the first time, her hands up/palms out as Saffy's punching around the elbows.

R5: Saffron enjoys another minute of face-spank on Cat, knocking her about via high-elbow jabs and straight right hands. Deeley eventually turning things around with a snappy up-jab off the hip, and resumption of counter-clockwise loping to set up her sweeping overhand rights. Cat not landing as flush as Saffron's duck-and-covering rather than pulling away from blonde right hands...but Burrows unable to transition to offence again once she's bobbing/weaving. Cat forward - hoisting limber lefts and rights up into brunette breadbasket; fitting flat-knuckle left hooks palm-down in behind SAffron's right elbow for points.

R6: Saffron loosening up a bit - deploying a wide, palm-down right hand in behind Cat's left elbow to good effect. Girls leaning in on front (left) legs to lick and lap body blows underneath: galloping delivery generally favours Saffron as she's able to punch inside Cat's arms. Discouraged Deeley backing straight up...Saffron's catching her that pesky flick-jab with the high elbow - just slapping Deeley on her mouth, keeping her backpedaling and startled. Bell: ass-kicked Cat fretting, walking to her corner all scowls: Saffron comes up from behind, right hand at her ear so she can lean in and dagger-tip that elbow in between blonde shoulder blades! Cat crying out - head tossing back - hands up, wrists bent back like she's just had her bra snapped: ref escorts Saffron back to her corner for a little rules-review session.

R7: Best round of technical boxing for Saffron - she's swiveling around that planted left leg; getting more mustard on the left jab - really punching Cat's face back while turning her. Brunette hard-eyed, picking her blonde apart, circling around the jab: Deeley faces into poke, gets touched up with very little to show in return.

R8: More London class...Saffron jabbing Cat's face - cutting her inside her mouth, lumping up her eyes as blonde girl turns, takes. Cat not shut out - she's reaching the up-jab into Saffron's belly; swinging the palm-down hook in behind Saffy's right elbow - but brunette generally dictating terms of engagement. At the bell, Saffron unfurls a long, slinging straight right that thumps in heavily between Cat's breasts, bringing a look of dismay to blonde's frazzled features.

R9: Cat sucks it up, comes out aggressive: good things happen. Saffron spooked into earmuff or face-in-gloves when Deeley's swinging away wild: blonde girl's lashing long rights and lefts to brunette flanks as Saffy's stumbling around. Cat leaning forward, lickin' and a-lapping her fists at flat brunette tummy - Deeley galloping at body Stacy Keibler style to keep Burrows cramped up. Succulent shoulder shrugging/back arching on these rolling body shots reminiscent of Candice Swanepoel: Cat proving just as lovely when she's strapping a helpless foe!

R10: Saffron finally deploying right hands with venom: rubbery, elastic delivery sees her punch straight to blonde face, or shovel blows into blonde ribs, hurting Cat half way through. Deeley's legs threatening to give way - Cat at ropes, sniveling and weepy: she forms face-in-gloves for the final minute as Saffy squares away. Burrows hard-hearted beating her blonde: she's strapping blonde flanks; holding Cat the left hand behind head while scraping right uppercuts; pulling Cat's head all the way forward to swab rangy right hands across the lower back. Deeley beaten without remorse, but long, curvy legs hold her up...comes back two point duke Cat Deeley!

AFter: 5 rounds a piece: Cat's legs prove sturdier as knockdowns of Saffron prove decisive. Hot tempers in the aftermath as Cat taunts bested foe; heartbroken Saffron attempts to writhe past security to get at her tormentress. "London girls are always cheap and sharp," Cat complains in postfight, citing Saffron's cruel fouls throughout the fight. "I saw her to the canvas three times, so I'll have to be satisfied with that...but OH how I wish I could have laid her end to end!"
