BBU Weekend Boxing from Cardiff Arena

Kimberley Walsh vs Jacqueline Jossa
(Lioness Club vs Garnet Gunners UK)
(10-24, 10 KO vs 6-10, 6 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: These two women have really struggled for success lately and while Kimberley Walsh might be destined to ride out her career as mere journeywoman there is still hope for Jacqueline Jossa to elevate her status into a respectable level. The former EastEnders starlet later crowned 'Queen of the Jungle' in one of these notorious celebrity reality TV shows vows to kickstart her career in the Cardiff Arena tonight but even BBU TV's Kate Abdo claims she has to do it in style considering Walsh's monumental struggles in recent months that border on 'glass jaw' reputation.

Kimberley Walsh wears a blue crop top, matching hip-huggers & silver gloves. Long brown hair tied in a custom ponytail. Jacqueline Jossa wears a red crop top, matching hip-huggers & white gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a sleek ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Quick pounce from the older woman who tries to catch the actress off guard and the trick works when Jacqui gets pancaked on the nose straight away and struggles to swing back from her heels. Kimberley doubles down on the head-hunting attack and splits the mitts with relative ease before booming a right hand on the mouth to drop Jossa into coverage. The Londoner is much faster across the canvas and avoids the singer's hectic pursuit however Walsh still manages to close her down along the ropes so both women trade meaningful leather in mid-range. Jossa dekes to the side and leaves Walsh hanging until she whacks her over the top when the singer looked set to taunt her over the defensive procedure. Oof! Another big hook tears a small gash under the left eye and forces Kimba into a slugging charge that goes nowhere when Jacqui stuffs her with a big right hand on the breasts just before the bell.

Round 2:
Kimberley jumps into another high-octane jabbing assault but completely loses the precision and grinds into a halt when Jacqui pummels her via the counter-punching route and bashes vicious leather straight into her face. Ugh! A couple of nasty hits make Kimba cry out in pain but she tries to stay in the exchange only for Jossa to work her over regardless. The former Girls Aloud member has to yield real estate but Jacqui fires more leather into her face and quickly traps her along the ropes where she adds more punishment downstairs. Walsh looks outclassed while getting pummelled in such ferocious fashion and slumps on jelly knees before Jossa nails her with a hard shot in the solar plexus. Uh-oh! Kimberley HAS TO TAKE A KNEE which might as well be a tactical decision to catch some breath! Jacqui shouts back at Mel B. in the Lioness corner and shadow boxes with the crowd during the count. Kimberley takes it all the way until eight before getting up and she times it so well the clock expires moments later!

Round 3:
Jacqui wraps the slow-moving singer into a jabbing vacuum and splits her high guard with ease. Kimberley sends a couple of half-hearted shots in response but eats a brutal hook on the jaw and folds into loud spasms while the younger brunette bashes more leather up the middle to render her numb come the one-minute mark. Ugh! Another wild hook on the jaw sends Walsh flying back to the ropes where she's unable to fend off another head-hunting blast that DROPS HER FOR THE COUNT when Jossa lands one left/right combo on target too many! Woof! Kimba lands on all fours and rolls to her side half-way through the count which indicates she's well and truly finished here tonight. KO3 Jacqueline Jossa!!!

AFTER: Emphatic victory for the Bexley native who climbs the ropes to celebrate with the Cardiff Arena fans. BBU TV's Kate Abdo claims Kimberley is basically a glorified punchbag these days but one has to start the recovery process with someone! Might as well be the old Girls Aloud fan favorite! Jacqueline deserves another shot at the contender status and there's every chance she will be granted one. Watch this space!

Official Result: Jacqueline Jossa def. Kimberley Walsh KO3.

Danielle Lineker vs Fiona Wade
(Wales vs England)
(9-10, 8 KO vs 7-11, 7 KO)
Results: BBU: Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Promotional slam dunk in the cougar division as two stunning brunettes are ready to lock horns in the Main Event with local favorite Danielle Lineker coming off a good win over Sandy Moelling to boost her career revival. However Emmerdale's Fiona Wade stopped the notorious Geri Halliwell on the Lioness Club anniversary card few weeks ago and claims she will send Danielle back to the basement with room to spare:

"Okay, so Danielle has the Cardiff support and thinks she's back. Yeah, right. She should be mud wrestling for all it's worth! This boxing thing is too much for anymore! Just because she beat up some washed up blonde bimbo it doesn't mean she's any good! It's my job to expose that fraud tonight!"

Danielle Lineker wears a red bikini set & neon green gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a half-up ponytail. Fiona Wade wears a purple bikini set & silver gloves. Long raven-black hair loose & straight. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.

Round 1:
Local support counts for a lot and helps Danielle to build a quick jabbing storm that catches Fiona straight up! The Welsh models plugs heavy leather into the fellow brunette's face and tees off from both flanks to enjoy a dominant spell in the center of the ring. Fiona fails to embrace the heat and bails out into mid-range instead of maybe finding a proper response which only fuels Lineker's attacks. Fiona survives the rush through some nifty footwork but spends the final minute in a desperate retreat which has Kate Abdo lost for words in the BBU TV booth. Huge roar from the Cardiff audience at the bell as Wade avoids eye contact with her opponent.

Round 2:
Fiona drops the jabbing hammer and silences the Welsh audience with some quick work that exposes Danielle's guard but the model manages to stick her mitts into her opponent's chest and stymies her attack down the stretch. Both women clash in the center of the ring as Fiona restores order when she blasts Lineker in the navel and works her to the body during the second minute. Danielle refuses to back off however bounces off the forearms in response too often to shelve Wade's progress and has to seek respite in mid-distance. Fiona still clocks her with a right hook on the eye and backs her onto the turnbuckle where she pounds away to the body much to the crowd's anger.

Round 3:
Danielle storms back into contention and slams a left/right combo up the middle before looping a vicious cross on the nose that makes Fiona yelp in pain. The response swings over the model's head and allows her to slam another double from the inside; Fiona gets caught on the chin and wobbles to her heels where she struggles to embrace a furious jabbing charge that picks her off in comfortable fashion. Danielle keeps her foot on the throttle and traps the Emmerdale actress on the ropes where she plugs her in the boobs to cave Wade behind a desperate earmuff. Huh! She belts her several times in the ribcage late but gets clinched into safety before she can really chop the subdued foe in half. Fiona strikes a dejected pose at the bell as she keeps shaking her head during the interval as well.

Round 4:
What can go wrong for the Cardiff faithful? How about Fiona blasting a left/right cross into Danielle's nose and spilling some blood early in the fourth! The Emmerdale stalwart shocks the arena by slugging the local favorite off the bat and hurting her with a powerful delivery! The bleeding isn't big but affects Lineker for remainder of the round to the point Wade just bashes her at will and traps on the turnbuckle half-way through! Ugh! Danielle finds the counter-punching response but only matches the fellow brunette's intensity and really comes second best with that nasal injury which has Fiona thumping more leather to further extend it as well. A late clinch finally stalls the action with the cards tied.

Round 5:
Danielle gets her nostrils patched up but she knows Fiona will be all over her soon... sure enough, here comes the Emmerdale babe who WALKS into a huge right hand before a looping left cross nails her on the jaw. Uh-oh! Danielle flicks another chin-checker and slumps Wade on jelly knees however she still has time to unload a true power punch that slams the actress on the ear and DROPS HER ON HER BACKSIDE amid a wild ovation from the Cardiff audience! Fiona can't quite believe how she ended up on the deck and recovers back to her feet at six alas Danielle smells blood and leaps into immediate assault blowing punches straight into her opponent's face. Fiona doesn't establish a proper defense in time and gets bulldozed back to the ropes where she gets hammered from both flanks until Lineker whacks her on the ear again and DROPS ON ALL FOURS to walk away with a huge KO5 victory! Ref doesn't even bother with the count as Fiona quickly rolls into embrional position and waves the proverbial white flag on the spot.

AFTER: Several BBU pundits wrote the Cardiff model off few years ago but she's won the last three fights on the bounce and claims she's by no means done: "Hey, I'm on frickin' roll again! Don't tell me I should get lost! Wales still loves me and I'm always money! It's about time I get another shot at the PPV or what! (...) Neah, she didn't really hurt my nose all that much. Okay, so I took one punch too many. Who cares! She's the one who needs assistance while leaving the ring!" (giggles).

Official Result: Danielle Lineker def. Fiona Wade KO5.

I'm always ready for you, bytch! About time I beat your ass!

Hopefully we meet next month! No excuses here!
