Just last November Holly Willoughby was voted "The most envied boobs in Britain" which according to some makes up for her mediocre BBU career to date. The blonde presenter beat her 'Dancing in Ice' successor Christine Bleakley back in April but suffered two heavy losses against Kelly Rowland and Pippa Middleton as she now takes on glamour model Micaela Schaefer, veteran of a single BBU bout. The raven-haired German also fought Christine Bleakley but unlike Holly, lost in rather dismal fashion. She promises not to repeat that kind of performance again but Willoughby seems a slightly harder test for the 29 year old from Berlin.
Holly Willoughby wearing a pink bikini top, white knickers and black gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a fancy ponytail on top of her head. Micaela Schaefer wearing a golden bikini set and red gloves. Black hair in loose waves. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.
Round 1: We're in Wales but even here everyone loves to see Holly Willoughby in action and the blonde presenter gives the crowd something to cheer about early as she thumps a series of shots into the brunette's tummy, quickly forcing her back. Micaela works the single hand from behind the guard but Holly leans on her and keeps targeting the stomach, flicks several shots around the elbows and catches her for on the ribcage. Schaefer throws more punches herself but fails to connect with the blonde's head, sags back on the ropes with Holly punishing her with high-tempo jabbing, but the bell comes to the German's rescue and she doesn't look best pleased with that opening round. The audience has other impressions though!
Round 2: More from Holly who gets after her rival with solid slaps on the ribcage but Micaela reads that tactics well and covers up, slams a right hook over the top and nails the blonde on the mouth before launching a high-tempo attacks herself with both women trading leather in the middle of the ring. Schaefer's head snaps back couple of time but she rocks that blonde ponytail herself, whacks the English girl on the chin and forces the arms to drop; piledrives Holly on the mouth and wobbles her on her feet with the crowd suddenly losing their gleeful approach. Single shots on the head follow but Micaela can't send her rival down as Holly looks stunned briefly but jumps away from trouble and circles around the ropes with the German's chaotic leaps around her prove fruitless. Willoughby winces at the bell and looks suspiciously hittable despite a positive start.
Round 3: Encouraged by the crowd's support Holly storms out of her stool and fires away at the brunette, nails her on the cheeks with overhand combo but eats a low jab on the navel as Schaefer leans on her and both women throw more leather in the middle of the ring becore Willoughby's double overhand smacks Micaela on the mouth and breaks her efforts. More shots from the English girl follow and she snaps the brunette's head back, forces her to jump away to safety but leaps after her and buries onto the ropes with low jabs on the stomach. Schaefer forces a clinch though and sidesteps to the corner after ref separates them. Holly misses a hooking attack, ducks under a quick response but allows the German to step onto the middle of the ring and both women spend the remainder of the round in mid-distance much to the audience's dismay,
Round 4: Schaefer looks much better in the ring than she did on her debut against Bleakley and leans on the blonde again as Holly whacks her on the tummy but gets nailed on the cheeks and the German just pummels through with her efforts, smacks the English girl on the mouth and rocks her ponytail as the crowd's reactions start to dwindle in wake of this performance. More angry striking connects with the blonde's rack and that's the main target which has been avoided so far by both women until now. Micaela bounces off the blonde's assets and makes her moain in pain but Holly gathers herself and finds an uppercut to the chin with the brunette dropping her arms too low and seemingly misjudging Holly's current presence. Willoughby works over the top but the lanky German nearly headbutts her as she closes down, sends another low jab on the ribcage before Holly ends the round with a cross-hook on the mouth to keep her spirits high.
Round 5: Micaela rushes after the blonde and sends single strikes to the body but Holly shows some nifty footwork and weaves around those efforts before launching a body attack herself. Schaefer swings around her head with a big hook but misses and Willoughby spikes her on the rack, finds another uppercut on the chin and both women tangle in close range with the blonde hammering the German on the ribs and wobbling her on the feet. Micaela throws single shots on the arms and fails to break through, eats a nasty shot on the liver and winces as Holly cracks a big shot on the mouth and wobbles the brunette again. Willoughby pours in with more shots on the rack, rocks Schaefer's assets back and forth and nails her on the mouth again as the German loses her balance AND HITS THE CANVAS HARD ON HER BACKSIDE!! That really gets the crowd going with Holly standing over her fallen rival but Micaela looks annoyed, pushes herself off both hands and leaps after the blonde straight after the command, showing no signs of trouble. Holly blocks the initial charge though, works the single overhand on the face and forces the brunette to cover up as Micaela slows down and Willoughby targets the chest again, uppercuts the arms apart and flicks another shot on the chin in the proccess with Schaefer moaning in pain and retreating to the ropes. More single hand from Holly who peppers her foe's guard until the bell and salutes the crowd as she walks back to her stool.
Round 6: Holly's quick off her stool with Micaela not looking that aggressive anymore, hoping to weather the storm in this round as the English girl jumps after her without much hesitance and starts throwing vicious leather on the tummy, goes around the elbows and spikes Schaefer on the ribs. The German brunette stumbles a couple of time, looking very much hittable herself now and Holly sends more jabs on the face, forces the aching glamour model to cover up but the crowd's support urges Willoughby to inflict more damage on her rival and the ponytailed blonde bashes the stunned brunette back to the ropes with some impressive shots albeit Schaefer visibly struggles now and just covers up as Holly whacks her on the body. Micaela's guard remains in tact to prevent from the blonde's raging aggression and Holly runs out of steam in the last minute, reverts into single striking against the guard but she's still in much better shape than the brunette who is experiencing some kind of a fitness-related crisis.
Round 7: Schaefer's very calm and focused during the interval but her face has been reddened with the intensity of her performance and Holly whips her on the ribs again early in the seventh as the German fires a response over the top and manages to catch the blonde on the mouth, another left hooks swings Willoughby's ponytail around and the English girl pauses for a while, allows Micaela to get some respite as both women circle around each other. But it's Holly's turn to make another move and she leaps after the brunette with couple of hooks, fakes a low switch and nails Schaefer on the temple which produces the loudest scream of pain yet and Micaela stumbles back to the ropes with Holly piercing her guard and bashing a series on the mouth which bursts the lowe lip wide open and Schaefer just sinks on her knees with blood coming out of her wounded mouth and Holly landing more shots on the rack! More venom follows with Schaefer's arms numb and unable to protect her body anymore and Holly rocks 'em jugs back and forth with the brunette sagging and moaning on the ropes and the crowd on the verge of nirvana! Left hook catches the brunette on the eye, another right slices the mouth.. another left on the nose and SCHAEFER SLIDES DOWN ON THE CANVAS!!! Holly breaths heavily and looks on whether her opponent manages to get up but Micaela's head slumps on her shoulders as she begins sobbing in pain and makes no effort to beat the count... KO R7 Holly Willoughby!!!
Post-fight: The blonde presenter raises both her hands in the air and is visibly delighted upon defeating the German model but there were times she looked vulnerable and stll very much unsure of her whereabouts in the ring. Micaela Schaefer performed much better on her second time of asking but if she had the neccessary experience she'd have knocked Willoughby long before hitting the canvas herself. Both women tried to brawl far too much for the purists' liking and exposed their weaknesses which suggests they still don't have what it takes to be considered a major force within the lightweights but only more fights like this will enable them to improve and join the elite. Besides is there anyone who would refuse an opportunity to go after Holly's and Micaela's enhanced assets?
Final result: Holly Willoughby def. Micaela Schaefer KO7.
