(LIONESS CLUB VS BEEVER'S BABES)

Posted by Vassago on September 15, 2012, 3:32 pm

The third fight of Lioness Club's One Year Anniversary event features couple of girls who officially and openly hate each other ever since they clashed in Brighton few days ago. Keisha Buchanan and Emma Rigby (Beever's Babes) supported a fight between Jessica Schwarz and Alesha Dixon there and had to be separated by the security staff, but tonight they can finally settle their differences.

Kate Garraway talks with Emma Rigby first, the Beever's Babes blonde looks absloutely stunning in red bikini with black gloves "Emma honey, you look lovely, but many people inside the KO Club don't think you'll be that pretty after Keisha beats you up!', "Thanks for the warning Kate, but I plan to finish this cheap tart quickly. Keisha is a jobber and everyone knows it. I'm the favorite tonight and the home crowd won't help her one bit!"

Keisha Buchanan makes her way onto the ring next, wearing a black one-piece swimsuit with silver stripes and silver gloves. She nods to Kate Garraway and talks with her moments later: "Well, tonight's the night Kate. My first BBU victory is about to happen! Emma Rigby will be picking up her jaw from the canvas as I plan to destroy her! I've heard Gabriella Cilmi calling me out few minutes ago. I say, bring her on! I'm looking at a winning streak here, first Rigby and than Cilmi! My career is about to kick-start in excellent fashion!"

There's no love lost between Keisha and Emma for sure allthough the blonde was probably right calling herself a favorite. She's knocked Sara Tommasi out inside the first round earlier this year while Keisha's punching skills are subpar to say the very least. Four losses in as many bouts speak for themselves but perhaps tonight she'll find the long-awaited breakthrough! The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Both girls are eager to make an early impression; they square up to each other in the middle of the ring and throw punches to the chest and body, but the single-striking produces little damage and no one is going to buckle this early. Rigby wants to repeat that Tommasi stunner, but Keisha keeps her guard well, that's a rarity itself, and despite the blonde's increasing efforts, she's unable to force the local girl into any trouble and Buchanan answers back, solid left hook around the gloves quickly pushes Emma away as she's aware Keisha ain't going down as easily as Tommasi. Crowd urges their girl to enforce some authority, but Keisha's not comfortable with the aggressive tactics and waits for Emma to make her move instead. Rigby cracks more single jabs to the guard but struggles to make an impact herself and circles back; both girls remain separated until the bell.

Round 2:
Rigby with the better start, she bangs a low jabbing sequence to the ribs but misses an uppercut follow up and Buchanan rushes in with some hooks to the head. She almos misses and crashes against Emma's chest and the blonde gets pushed to the floor as Keisha grins at her with little sympathy. Emma's up quickly though, however that accidental clash of bodies spurrs her into more attacks and she has Keisha on the run soon afterwards, peppers her body from mid-distance and the local girl struggles to cope with the chaotic but frequent blows, misses her response and gets nailed in the breasts with a big right and Emma finds a left over the top which catches Keisha on the eye! She leans forward and wants to clinch but Emma pours with a jabbing series to the guts, splits her mitts with another uppercut and throws another hook on the eye! DOWN GOES BUCHANAN, crumbling under that barrage like a true jobber she allegedly is!!! Rigby with both hands in the air, but Keisha is up at six and spits out her mouthpiece: "You little tart, that was nothing!" Ref picks up the mouthpiece and gives the singer a warning. She's wasted some precious time though and when the fight is resumed, Emma can't follow up on that knockdown with Keisha dancing around the ropes in avoidance all the way until the bell. She's dodged the first bullet as that could have ended much worse and coach Gina Wild knows it; she's all over the former Sugababe's ear during the interval.

Round 3:
Another forward charge from the blonde, she's finally found a rival that doesn't threaten to knock her out with every punch but Keisha keeps the distance and Rigby's efforts are fruitless for most of the round. Crowd doesn't like the showing from Buchanan, but they support her anyway, so instead of boos and whistles it's rather calm atmosphere inside the KO Club. Emma tries her best, but catches the guard far too often and gets nailed in the ribs with one of Keisha's rare counters. Both girls clinch in the final minute; Emma got a little tired after her efforts earlier in the round while Buchanan is happy just to survive and remove the danger of a quick knockout she was faced against in wake of that knockdown.

Round 4:
One can sense it's not the sharp end of bantamweight division in the ring with Emma losing all her momentum, but the hatred level is still very high as the blonde finally finds some success again; she catches Keisha between the arms with couple of jabs, splits her mitts with a cross-hook and whacks the singer in the nose with one more hook! Buchanan wobbles and covers up but her footwork lets her down and she's stranded in the middle of the ring and Emma doesn't need a second chance. She nails her with an overhand right, follows up with a left under the elbow and throws another right on the nose. DOWN GOES BUCHANAN flat on her back for the second time tonight!!! Oh dear, Keisha, what are you doing? Getting ripped apart by Emma Rigby of all people! Gina Wild wraps her arms around her head, she cannot believe what's going on and neither can the crowd! Keisha scambles back upright at seven, but there's some blood coming out of her nose. Those couple of shots from Rigby really had some venom behind 'em! Ref calls the medics while Rigby waves her gloves in front of him! Unneccessary break which favors the former Sugababe as the ammount of blood on display wasn't that significant! Nonetherless Buchanan catches some much-needed respite and she's in much better shape after the medical pause and once again Emma can't close her down before the bell. That's a second close call for the local girl, but she really needs to make some moves soon as the blonde is running away with this bout with ease.

Round 5:
Emma is upset but confident of inflicting more damage and that's probably correct. Keisha's on the back foot early, but gets laced from mid-range; repeated strikes to the midsection push her against the ropes and the footowrk is truly appalling as Rigby traps her in a corner and begins to unload some punishment to the guts. Keisha covers up low, but Emma whacks her with a left hook to the nose and there's more blood pouring from the wounded nostrils. Gruesome execution follows next as Buchanan's clearly affected by that and this time the ref doesn't help her cause. Rigby leans on her, more jabs on the ribcage and another hook on the cheeks. Keisha covers up but she's wincing with every punch marking her flesh. She tries to clinch, but Emma pins her against the corner post with a staggering left! Buchanan's head gets snapped around with a series of single jabs as the blonde perhaps lacks core strenght but is able to land several unaswered blows. Keisha sinks on her knees and she's getting truly pounded here, what a letdown for the home crowd. Emma sees the finishing line; however drops her accuracy and can't send her hapless foe down for the third and undoubtfully final time. But Keisha is gone mentally, she only covers up, her punch-resistance is woeful and even a second-tier fighter like Rigby dominates her without much trouble. Finally a left hand goes around the gloves and catches Keisha on the nose and the battered singer falls back on the ropes with her eyes closed. Arms drop to the side, but the ref charges in and embraces her as Emma was running on empty herself and almost looked like giving up on the knockout. She doesn't realize what has happened for a few seconds but notices the man in charge escorting her sobbing rival back to the Lioness corner and now she explodes in joy! TKO R5 Emma Rigby!!!

Post-fight:
Disgusting performance from Keisha Buchanan who might call herself a jobber after all. If she picks up on Gabriella Cilmi's challenge, that would be a real slaughtery in the ring according to most people who witnessed tonight's bouts from both girls. Coach Gina Wild is furious, she ignores the sobbing Sugababe and doesn't offer her any consolling hugs as Keisha vanishes in the locker room soon afterwards.

Meanwhile it's the visiting contingent on top of the anniversary event once again and Kate Garraway interviews the winner, Beever's Babes' Emma Rigby: "Well, Emma, I take back what I've said before. You still look gorgeous in that red bikini of yours!", "Thanks, Kate, I've told you I'll finish her off quickly. Five rounds? OK, that wasn't as quick as I hoped for, but I still put on quite a show! Keisha is a jobber and can't take a punch well. What's she doing on the Lioness roster is beyond me. But that's not my problem. She didn't even cut me or left any bruises on my gorgeous face. I'm not fighting any real bantam stars but I'm far from being a jobber myself! I'm certainly attractive enough to fill any BBU card across the country! If anyone wants to see that red bikini in action again, either call me or my management! I never refuse a good challenge when I see one!"

After that piece of self-advertisitng Emma blows some kisses to the crowd and leaves the ring smiling. Well, she's definitely gorgeous enough to fill any BBU card across Britain and even spoiling the Lioness Club anniversary event won't make the Barnet-based fans think otherwise. The major concern is with Keisha Buchanan and her attrociously bad performance. Can this night get any worse with Zoe Salmon coming up next?

Final result: Emma Rigby def. Keisha Buchanan TKO5.
