Vicky Lloyd looked very impressive on her debut last September when she brutally pounded Amelle Berrabah and now jumps in to target Sylvie van der Vaart's bikini top which the Dutch model embarrassingly lost against Fearne Cotton just few days ago. Vicky smells easy prey and claims Sylvie is a jobber both mentally and physically but the Foxfire Atlantic camp ignores this statement and promises to shut Vicky's foul mouth courtesy of van der Vaart's boxing skills.

"Yeah, it's a redemption fight for me", a visibly animated Sylvie tells Denise van Outen, "I've suffered too many painful defeats lately and this so-called glamour model shows me no respect. The Cotton fight was a one-off bad day at the office. It won't happen again. I'm gonna pound Lloyd out of her bikini tonight!"

"Let's get this thing started already!" Vicky is equally eager to lay some leather into her foe, "I will crush Sylvie, there's no question about it. And once she's crawling at my feet I'm taking her bikini top with me! That's a fact!"

Lots of ill-temper on hand as Vicky squares up to her Dutch opponent during the introductions and just stares at her cleavage. "Your tits will be hurting, you stupid cow!", she grins at van der Vaart who abandons any verbal attacks but if looks could kill, she's be having Vicky ripped to pieces in no time. The Velodrome is buzzing with anticipation as a heavy knockout is touted in this bout with both girls simply hating each other's guts!

Sylvie van der Vaart wearing a black bikini with brown football scheme and red gloves. Long blonde hair in loose waves. Vicky Lloyd wearing a red bikini and black gloves. Long blonde hair straight.

Round 1:
Both girls waste little time in tearing into each other and Vicky slams a series on the chin seconds into the fight, follows up with a gutwrenching combo and has Sylvie backing away early but throwing wild swings around the younger blonde's head. Vicky ducks underneath them and keeps working on Sylvie's face, catches her on the cheeks and as the Dutch model covers up, goes around the elbows and peppers the ribs, pushes the older girl on the ropes and works the low attacks, catches van der Vaart on the navel and flicks an uppercut on the chin but crashes off the gloves and Sylvie pummels back between the arms, bounces off Lloyd's chest before settling into a clinch. Vicky pushes her rival further against the ropes but the ref drags her away and the older blonde jumps away from the dangerous position and runs down the clock in mid-distance thereafter.

Round 2:
Lloyd's back to pummelling van der Vaart's face and she finds more success as she splits the mitts early and bounces off the cheeks, avoids a counter hook and drives on the Dutch model's chest instead, bangs a huge combo and wobbles Sylvie on her feet, slices across her mouth moments later and whips a left hook on the rack again as van der Vaart covers up and tries to avoid the onslaught. She's nowhere in the footwork department and Lloyd pounds her on the ribcage in the middle of the ring, pushes back against the ropes again thanks to sheer strenght alone and as the Dutch blonde weaves around on her feet and sends some weak jabs in response, Vicky sets up another lethal combo, splits the mitts and uppercuts the chin, sags Sylvie on her knees but misses a put away hook as she skims off the shoulder and falls into a clinch with van der Vaart wrapping her arms around her head and ignoring ref's efforts to separate them. Bell halts the action and Lloyd shakes her glove in front of her rival's face as Sylvie looks uneasy with the younger girl's antics.

Round 3:
Vicky's quick to pounce on her slower moving opponent but Sylvie surprises her with a cross-hook on the mouth and beats her with an overhand on the temple, drives on the midsection herself and peppers the younger girl's ribs, flicks an uppercut on the chest and Lloyd has to retreat. Both girls circle around each other for a while before Vicky jumps in to throw more shots at Sylvie's head but crashes off the guard this time and the response nails her on the navel before another uppercut bounces off her rack. Van der Vaart on the move thereafter, slams a left hook on the temple, right hand on the cheek and Lloyd backs away, bides some time and checks up with her rival who suddenly shifted up a gear. Sylvie hassles the English blonde around the canvas for remainder of the round but Lloyd is faster of the two and makes the Dutch model look sluggish in her efforts.

Round 4:
Lloyd storms out of her stool and both girls square up in the middle of ring, Sylvie nails her with an overhand on the right eye but eats a left upercut on the rack and Vicky goes for the jugs maulling, pummels between the arms, ducks under a high counter and slams a series on the ribs which root van der Vaart to the spot briefly, left hook on the eye snaps Sylvie's head back and Lloyd pours in with more venom, reaches for the jaw and wobbles the Dutch blonde back, skips under another wayward hook and hammers the chest again, makes Sylvie moan in pain and forced to cover up but a series of uppercuts make their way throuugh the guard and snaps van der Vaart's head repeatedly and it's all Lloyd from there, bashing the stranded model senseless, pushing her onto the ropes and pounding away at the ribcage. Sylvie yelps in pain, covers up her face but gets worked over on the midsection and sinks on her knees as Vicky barks in anger and keeps firing away at her until the bell, visibly upset after failing to send her down. More angry gestures from the English blonde who seemingly restored authority with that round.

Round 5:
Sylvie's redemption plan has been largely derailed by the menacing youngster but both girls tangle in the middle of the ring again with van der Vaart catching her foe with a huge right overhand on the eye and landing a following up on the chest herself. Vicky gets wobbled back and Sylvie nails her with a straight jab on the mouth, throws a cross-hooking combo thereafter and splits the mitts and Lloyd firmly loses balance. She jumps after the Dutch girl even more upset with the start of the round... but walks into a right hand on the chin that just went through above her glove and Lloyd wobbles forward as she closes her eyes and looks to be dazed by that vicious hook... Sylvie leans on her and uppercuts the rack, clips her with another hook on the chin and Vicky covers up in the middle of the ring, seemingly forgets about her footwork and allows the older blonde to land more leather on the ribs and Sylvie thrives on this opportunity, pounds away at the younger model and snaps her head back with a jabbing combo. Vicky stumbles back and gets pushes butt-in-ropes before forcing a late clinch as van der Vaart was starting to pummel her back and forth until she run out of steam and failed to send the youngster down herself.

Round 6:
Evil looks from opposite corners as both girls took some beating in this fight already and Vicky's truly upset over the previous round where Sylvie caught her off guard and pummelled badly. She lashes out at the Dutch model straight from the bell and goes for the chest attack again, but just skims off the football bra and loses balance as van der Vaart moves quickly around her and counters from the side. Left hook on the temple, right hand on the rack and Vicky falls forward, loses her footwork alltogether and as she turns her head back to the right van der Vaart nails her with a big hook on the nose and Lloyd drops her arms as she wobbles on her feet for good. Sylvie clips her with another uppercut on the jaw and snaps the head back with a follow up jabbing combo, now testing the strenght of Vicky's chin. Lloyd raises her arms too slow to protect herself and Sylvie whips a right hook on the eye that firmly roots the English blonde on the spot. Left overhand on the other eye follows and suddenly Vicky's face gets reduced into a smoking mess as the Dutch model slices through her mitts again and gives her a nasty shiner under the right eye; another right hand on the temple, left hook on the ribs and Lloyd sags back on the ropes, finally manages to cover up her face but Sylvie pummels to the ribs and leaves her foe gasping for air at the bell and not exactly sure what happened in this round.

Round 7:
Vicky's much slower on her feet this time and just strays away from her rival as Sylvie matches her for speed now and begins throwing more shots around the face with vicious intentions. Lloyd's hit a rought spot for sure but regains some footwork control and avoids more heavy leather even though the Dutch model keeps her busy moving around the canvas and the crowd is truly perplexed by this fight now; van der Vaart seemingly emerged from some hard beting she's taken earlier relatively unscathed and is poised to expose the English model's stamina, but Vicky looks happy with her tactics, she makes Sylvie's breast pump up and down in exhaustion too and both girls eventually settle for a calm round as Lloyd realizes she's gonna have to do something more than what was required against Amelle Berrabah on her debut.

Round 8:
Sylvie looks strong mentally, stares at her rival all the way through the interval and that's one improvement in her performace. Far too often she's been punched around the ring and lost her spirits but she's visibly keen to defeat Vicky here and jumps after her from the bell as Lloyd answers back and the calm was very brief indeed as the crowd get back on their feet with two pretty blonde flyweights bashing each other around in feorcious fashion. Lloyd clips van der Vaart's chin but eats an overhand on the right eye before Sylvie tags her with a hook on the temple and pummels through between the arms, gives the youngster a proper rack pounding and slices a cross-hook on the eye to regain control. Vicky stumbles back, tries to respond but the Dutch blonde is all over her and lands a left hook on the eye that results in a nasty shiner but before Lloyd can even think about it, she gets caught with an overhand from the other side and spins her back on the ropes! Sylvie pours in with a jabbing combo on the chest, buries the youngster butt-in-ropes and lashes at her ribcage but loses her focus in wake of reaching this position and crashes off the arms, fails to send the English girl down and now it's her turn to get annoyed after the bell with Vicky not looking that certain of success all of the sudden.

Round 9:
Anxious looks in the BBU TV booth where Charlie Webster predicted this one going the distance in Lloyd's favor but van der Vaart has definitely clawed herself back into the frame and she's caught the English model early in the ninth again as Vicky's stamina is pushed to the limits now. Too many hours spend in front of the cameras instead of the gym? Denise van Outen likes to agree with that as Sylvie goes around the elbows and peppers the ribcage with Vicky now firmly on the back foot and struggling to breath. She's had her cutmen working on couple of nasty shiners during the interval but Sylvie leaves them alone and fires away at the belly button, slices between the arms all too easy and pushes the cumbersome looking rival onto the ropes where she continues ripping into Vicky's guts and the youngster feels the heat, moans in pain and as she tries to force a clinch, Sylvie clips her with a fine uppercut on the jaw, switches high and pummels the rack with Lloyd's arms sliding down and it's just brutal perfromace from the Dutch girl as she hammers Vicky's jugs senseless inside the final minute, cracks a lef hook on the eye and causes one of the lumps to burst open. Lloyd's running on empty and gets saved by the bell as ref pulls away a rampant Dutch model away from her and Sylvie flashes a big smile to the crowd sensing a huge scalp coming her way after some dismal fights recently. But will she knock the aching Vicky out?

Round 10:
Vicky's face badly bruised in wake of Sylvie's late charge and she looks very slow on her feet now, just hoping to survive the last round and force a decision. But her Dutch nemesis has other ideas and just keeps pounding away at her ribcage straight from the bell; Lloyd covers up, protects her face in visible discomfort but Sylvie sticks to her plan and bashes the ribs senseless, pushes a moaning Vicky back to the ropes where she uppercuts the rack or at least tries to slice between the arms again. Lloyd just rooted to the spot and badly exposed, has van der Vaart clubbing her on the arms before she must yield and allow the Dutch model to bounce off her chest clean. Heavy leather spikes Vicky's assets from side to side and she sinks badly on her knees, a sensational late romp from van der Vaart has everyone inside the Velodrome on their feet but Vicky remains butt-in-ropes and even a proud Dutch blonde like Sylvie can't send her down! One-way traffic finally grinds to a halt inside the final minute with van der Vaart losing all her strenght and now just leaning on her opponent, both girls fall into a stalemate but the ref doesn't intervene anymore. Another gruesome contest goes the distance and both girls receive a standing ovation from the Manchester crowd with neither confident of victory despite Sylvie's late push perhaps being the all important difference.

After ten rounds of boxing we go to the scorecards.... Judges score the bout 97-92, 97-93 and 97-93 all for your winner through unanimous decision... SYLVIE VAN DER VAART!!!

Post-fight:
Both girls loathed each other before the opening bell but it's curious to see how a proper ten round contest can result in a new found respect afterwards. As Sylvie's arm is raised by the referee, Vicky comes over and gives her a hug, even makes fun of some of the lumps the Dutch model gave her in that late winning surge. Indeed Sylvie raises Vicky's arm moments later accepting her impressive attitude and the BBU TV reporters agree that was just a great and tightly contested bout. Charlie Webster might have got the winner wrong but both Sylvie and Vicky gave it their all tonight and deserve full marks for their efforts. One or two fans inside the Velodrome are disappointed though as Sylvie's bikini top stays in it's place and there's no topless post-fight humiliation to be seen. At least not today but Denise van Outen reckons that will change soon: "Fearne Cotton set a desired pattern, Vicky didn't have the experience to handle the Dutch veteran but I'm not so sure Sylvie's bikini top will be safe for long."

Final result: Sylvie van der Vaart def. Vicky Lloyd UD10
