BBU BOUT: MANCHESTER, ENG, UK

Posted by technetium on 12/15/2011, 5:25 am

BEFORE: Interesting battle of two different fighters at lightweight tonight. Brunette Malika, taller, younger, French, coming out strong from her domination of Laetitia Casta. Blonde Sarah shorter, older, British, defeated by Rochelle Weiseman twice in her last two bouts. The fight takes place in Sarah's native Manchester, England –don't expect the crowd to cheer for the French girl! "It's a good fight for me: I exposed Laetitia, I want to beat some British girl before I take off to the US. Sarah shouted at me, I simply punch back." Malika says confidently in her pre-fight statement. But Sarah won't buy it: "It's true that Rochelle beat me twice, but I'm certainly not done. And I'm not here to be beaten –I'll give this wonderful crowd what they are asking for!" Malika in the same black bikini of her last two fights -but her stunning body doesn't prevent the crowd from booing her. Sarah all smiles, wearing the silver bikini with black stripes that saw her victory over Zoe Salmon, cheered by the crowd. Girls staring at each other with hate, murmuring "Cochonne!" "Slut!" "Vache!" "Cow!" not quite realizing they are insulting each other with the same words in two different languages as the poor referee tries to instruct them. No glove touching here –this is going to be interesting.

ROUND 1. Malika slowly coming towards Sarah AND SHE'S HIT! Big girl going wobbly butt, legs bending for a moment as she gets checked hard by Sarah's very first punch. Crowd roaring, chanting "Engerlaaaand!" as Sarah jumps around the stunned Malika. French girl shocked, but she punches back. Sarah not keeping the momentum, not pushing forward, staying at a medium distance from the Malika. Menard’s jab really punishes Sarah in the middle of the round, hitting several times the stubborn British girl when her guard is slightly down. Nice foot work for Malika as well, as she lands more and manages to steal the first round despite of the early punch.

ROUND 2. More Sarah here. Malika taking a stop, punches a little off target, while Sarah uses her speed to duck the big ones. Hands on her ears, she dances around Malika and then leans forward, aiming at her chest! Malika hit once, and then a second time by the rapid movement of her opponent. Big girl manages to avoid more punishment as the round comes to its end, but she’s been beaten by Sarah’s speed in this round. Girls going back to their corners: Malike with her mouth open in stupor, bbobs sore from the attack; Sarah confident, basically untouched in this round, yelling: "I'll rip that bra of yours pretty soon, Frenchie!"

ROUND 3. Malika won't let the teasing remain unpunished! She storms out of her corner, pushing the shorter girls to the ropes, using her shoulders to keep her there as she unleashes her blows. Sarah tagged hard a couple of times, but she answer back with a right uppercut and OH NO, MALIKA IS DOWN! French girl on all fours, crowd chanting again, Sarah dancing in joy. Malika up at 6, she's clearly dazed AND SARAH CHARGES AGAIN! Big girl backpedals, pushed towards the ropes n the opposite side, tries to escape with a right hook and she misses, giving Sarah the opportunity to hit her with a clear shot! Sarah not missing, her right cross hits the French girl's face with full power. Malika collapses backwards, butt on the ropes, and SHE'S ON ALL FOURS AGAIN! Sarah all pumped up as her rival crawls a few inches to reach the ropes AND SARAH HITS HER BACK WHILE SHE'S DOWN! Crowd erupting in an ovation for the singer as the referee pushes her away with a firm movement. Meanwhile Malika painfully uses the ropes to get back on her feet, whimpering, sobbing in pain. Referee checks that she's OK to continue –but what a toll she has paid! Final seconds with Sarah away, hands down, and Malika slowly moving, not daring to attack. Crowd loves it, almost as much as Sarah. Big, big round for the British girl, but with a clear foul when Malika was down.

ROUND 4. Menard shows pride, she fights back the tears and gets back into the fight again, but she's clearly slowing down. Sarah methodical, hands on her ears, she fakes a left attack and then goes right, coming closer to Malika, hitting her belly with a right/left combo, and then retreating to avoid the retaliation from the bigger girl. This strategy really works for her, and frustration clearly starts to kick in for the brunette, with Sarah openly teasing her "Come on, come on hit me!" Malika leans forward, pushes Sarah to the ropes, finally scores with some punches on Sarah's belly and then clinches to avoid more punishment. But as the ref breaks the hold Sarah is back on the outside, peppering Malika with the jab, trespassing Menard’s defense again, and as she gets closer she unleashes her right and MALIKA GOES DOWN AGAIN! Menard takes a knee for a moment, but enough to let the crowd roar again. Sarah not pushing any further in this round –she simply enjoys the chants of the crowd. "Quit, loser!" she shouts as the round ends. Big screen shows a shot of Foxfire Atlantic's Kate Winslet with her hands on her face: hot prospect is getting toasted tonight!

ROUND 5. Time to finish this, Sarah! Blonde girls out of her corner in a thunderclap, getting to Malika's body early. Sarah wants to muscle with the battered French, but it doesn't seem to be the best strategy. Malika not showing the prettiest technique her, but her clinching defense shuts Sarah's thunderous attacks now. Big girl finally using her jab, hitting Sarah at distance. And when Sarah gets closer, Malika tags her with the right hook, finally connecting and preventing her from getting inside. Sarah a little confused, her legs not getting her out of trouble in this round. French girl wins her second round, somehow coming out of a rough stretch of knock-downs that could have finished the bout, but she's not smiling.

ROUND 6. Malika got some confidence in the previous round, and she finally dictates the pace. Sarah covering, pushed to the ropes, and then hit hard by Malika's punches to the body. Smaller girl clinches, finding a way out of the attack and answering back with some nice combo to the body. Malika not pushing, lets the clock run for a while, absorbs some punishment, AND THEN SHE CHARGES FULL-SPEED! Sarah trapped in the corner, Malika shoving her with the shoulders, positioning the blonde girl's body so she can punch it at ease. Head head chest belly, poor Sarah is left in stupor by the crashing attack of the French girl AND SARAH IS DOWN! Sarah sits on the canvas, breathing hard, as Malika is sent back by the ref. British girl looks wobbly but she gets up at 7, launches herself towards Malika but she's pushed back again. Same corner, same action. Finally, Sarah grabs Malika's head, trying to clinch but she can't –and Malika punishes her again. End of the round –Malika still punching for a few seconds, Sarah's corner screaming at the ref, crowd silent. Malika goes back to her corner with a more relaxed grin, Sarah with a troubled one.

ROUND 7. Crowd cheering its favorite girl, trying to shake her from the torpor she seems to be wrapped with, but it's not working. Sarah trapped again, back on the ropes, unable to escape from Malika's arsenal of punches. She's not answering back, as Malika simply pours in –and the refs checks on Sarah! Malika sent back –French girls reacting in stupor to the action "Hey I was finishing her!" Sarah listens to the ref, and then nods –she wants to continue the fight. French girl clearly annoyed by the ref's interference, she lets Sarah dance for the central minute but the small girls doesn't score. Final minute –we have already seen it –Malika simply pounding non-stop on Sarah, scoring at the head and chest. Another big round for Malika –no knock-down but she looked even more dominant than the previous round. Sarah not able to use the attack-and-retreat strategy that got her ahead in the first rounds –are her legs shot?

ROUND 8. "Come on Sarah!" "Come on girl!" crowd again very generous with its girl. And Sarah summons her strength as she gets more effective with the strategy adopted in the first rounds. Hit Malika with quick shots and then jump back, and when Malika opens her defense hit her again! She scores for points, and then bullies the big girl in the last minute. Sarah dancing away, Malika in pursuit, and Sarah leans forward and hits her breast! French boobs jiggling, bra keeps them inside but the shot draws an ovation from the crowd. Sarah happy again, all smiles –she's finally won a round after Malika’s reaction, her speed keeping her out of trouble here, but she looks tired.

ROUND 9. Sarah's dancing again, but not as effectively as before. Malika's jab more effective, she keeps the girl at the right distance –and then goes with the hook! Sarah tagged, not going down but clearly dazed. Malika's not in a better shape, but with Sarah not jumping left to right, not leaning forward to hit her with speed and power, she has much easier shots from the medium range. Final minute- girls at the ropes, trading punches, Malika's boobs touched again, Sarah's face hit hard in retaliation. Crowd pleased with the tit-punching by Sarah, but this won't probably impress the judges as Malika gets another round.

ROUND 10. Final round with Sarah out again for Malika's rack AND SHE BURSTS IT OPEN! Bra finally opening, exposing the French girl's beauty to the crowd. Pageant girl shocked, blushing in embarrassment as the ref stops the fight for a moment and the crowd erupts in cheers of joy. Frantic work from Malika's corner to restore the order on the girl's outfit –it'd be a good time for Sarah to breathe and regroup but she decides to jump around instead, mocking the French girl in front of the crowd. Finally, Malika’s bra is tied again, and the two are out for the final minutes. French girl advancing again, grinning her teeth in anger, not pleased by the tit punishment, landing punches on Sarah's body from the medium range. Ferocious attack from the French girl sends Sarah back to the corner –and it's turning ugly again for Sarah! Brit legs shot, and Malika pushing, punching, hitting with all that's remaining in her arsenal. Sarah covering, absorbing, even laughing in front of the girl that is pummeling her, but she gets hit several times by Menard. Girls separated at the bell –Sarah exhausted, defiant as she pushes Malika "I destroyed your boobs, cow!". French girl not answering, she's tired too but waits for the verdict with trepidation –she's not so sure that Sarah is right. Comes back, close but unanimous verdict for the winner, MALIKA MENARD!

AFTER. Sarah's jaw drops as she sees Malika's hand raised in victory. French girl crying tears of joy, too tired to jump but clear relieved by the decision. Crowd lets go a long "BOO" of disapproval, which is stopped by some applause of good sportsmanship from the bulk of the crowd. British girl blubbering "That's impossible!" and then turns to Menard, trying to grab a hold on her. Menard pushing back, sending Sarah butt down to the canvas before the officials send both to their corners. Harding in tears of anger, stating: "I sent her down how many times –FOUR?-, I kicked her butt all night and pulverized her bra –this is outrageous!" but the 93-92 score for Menard was unanimous, with a 9-7 in the third round because of Sarah’s foul that could have been a 10-7 instead. Menard icy in her post-fight interview, she knows she's taken quite a beating but she looks positive: "I fought a girl in her hometown, in front of a great but biased crowd. I suffered the pressure in the first rounds –this was a big fight for me and as you all know I was observed by Kate Winslet, which didn't alleviate the pressure- but then I came back in great fashion in the second part. I kept that spoiled brat down –I wanted to go ten rounds and make her suffer. And she was saved by the ref –that was really bad refereeing if you look at it again, he stopped me when I was pounding her into a TKO. I did all of this, and I deserve the victory. And of course I deserve a spot at Foxfire Atlantic –and I thank Kate and Danielle for the fantastic opportunity. I hope I will be able to fight girls with FCBA experience in the near future –Lima, Upton, Refaeli are all on my list. And I want to keep winnnig –this is all so good!" Sarah explosive in the first rounds, but she faded as the fight progressed, legs shot by the early hard work. She should have finished Malika early, and the obsession for the French girl's rack in the last rounds was clearly a crowd-pleasing effort, but did not bring her any benefit from the judges. Malika tagged hard, hit out of stupor in the early rounds, but able to overcome three/four knock-downs to punch the victory out of Sarah. Beauty pageant certainly looked good in her first stretch of fights –but it is because of her or because of the lack of good opponents? Time, and fights, will tell.
