Intro:
Now its main event time! The BBU Welterweight title is now taking the spotlight as Nicola Mimnagh tries to show how far she has come over the past few years to bring the girls home to Scotland. Standing in her way is the champion from Denmark, Josephine Skriver. Who is looking to make a third successful defence here in Cardiff's BBU Arena.
While neither have laid a glove on each other before. There has been talk in the past if the two models would lock horns, who would come out on top. With Nicola boxing since her teenage years before she ever stepped foot in a BBU ring, seen by some as a future champion. Josephine meanwhile also has her own love of boxing before she was signed by the Girls Friday stable.
A press conference as usual for these major fights was held. On stage came the two women on different sides. Nicola wearing a blue dress with a thistle brooch attached to the left side and blue heels. Josephine meanwhile has the BBU welterweight title over her left shoulder. Wearing a white dress with matching heels. Both step out this heels and go nose to nose for the cameras with an intense stare, before stepping back to pose with fists raised and the same intense look on their gorgeous faces.
Once that is done though they actually help each other back into their heels with a smile. Looking relaxed around each other for two women who twenty four hours later will punch each others lights out for a world title. Heading to separate tables to sit with their teams as Josephine sits the title in front of herself.
Nicola is asked by a journalist if she has any nerves. She chuckles before answering jovially "why of course I do. This is the biggest fight of my career. A world title is on the line and I get to fight Josephine over there. But the nerves are welcome for me, it means I am not going into this fight with the wrong mentality."
Them Josephine is asked why she choose Nicola as her challenger. Josephine points with her right to Nicola as she says "because right now she is one of the best. The funny thing is me and her have nearly stepped into a ring together but commitments outside the ring stopped that. I know it will be the same for her, what would have happened? She is tough and very skillful, I believe I am better then her, of course the one who leaves with this proves that point." Josephine picks up the title belt in both hands and raises it above her head. Nicola for the first real time gives a hard look to Josephine, though her attention seems as much on the belt as it does the champion.
"I agree wholeheartedly on that, both of us got modelling jobs and of course other fights came along to stop us getting into the ring before now. I am itching to test you Josephine, I have seen your fights, I have seen all your training, we are both physically a near perfect match for each other. So you have my respect but I am not coming to be a name on your résumé, I want that title around my waist" says Nicola. She points up at the title with her left hand.
Josephine smiles and nods in reply at that. She says to Nicola "I can't wait till we fight. I respect you and part of me likes you, once that bell rings it will just be us and the referee, no excuses, no mercy. This belt though will be coming home to Denmark with me." Nicola now grins with her own nod. Both firmly know where they stand.
Still they surprise their management teams as they stand up. Eyes wide as they watch the fighters come towards each other. Instead of fists flying though they firmly shake hands, telling their opponent that they can't wait to settle this. Smiles exchanged as they seem to have met a somewhat kindred spirit, one prepared to take them out to win the most important prize in the world to them.
Fight night. Bagpipes play as Nicola is getting a special entrance tonight. She is wearing a tartan robe as she walks down the aisle with her coach behind her. Clearly she is shouldering the weight of a countries expectations that she will become a world champion, ironically to join the likes of the woman Josephine beat to won the title in Karen Gillan. Can she be the next Scottish world champion?
The robe comes off to reveal a navy blue sports bra, matching trunks with a thistle design on the bottom of her left trunk leg, navy blue shoes and gloves, hair in a braid as she climbs through the ropes to a roar from her travelling supporters. She raises her arms into the air with a icy look on her face.
Now here comes the champion to a mixed response. Josephine is led out by coach Taryn Terrell holding the title up, while cut woman Eva Carneiro follows behind her. Josephine is wearing a black robe with "Victoria's number one secret" in white letters on the back. A beaming smile as she is used to these electric atmospheres. Nodding to some fans in the front row holding a Denmark flag up in support of her.
On the ring steps she sheds her rope to reveal a black sports bra with "J.S" written in white on her left bra cup, black trunks with white stripes down the sides, matching shoes, white gloves, as her hair is braided too. She steps into the ring raising her arms in the air as she locks eyes with Nicola, as if to tell her she is the best in this ring already.
The fighters come together at the center of the ring. Locking eyes as they shake their arms and legs to keep them loose. There is definitely a louder chant of "let's go Nicola!" As the fighters listen to the referees final instructions. The belt is held between them as both touch a glove on it as they fist bump with their other glove. Jogging back to their corners bouncing on their toes. The bell rings to a loud roar as the Scottish fans have certainly brought the noise! 10 rounds of BBU welterweight title bout action has begun!
Round 1:
"Ding!" Both fighters share a nod before getting down to business. Circling up on their toes with a mixture of feints and punches that are more focused on finding range then full on shots. Once they are in range more punches fly as they try to gain control. The action is evenly fought in the open minute as they are both getting a real good idea how evenly matched physically they are.
It takes Nicola timing her attack as she deflects a jab to step in with a looping left hook to the cheek of her opponent. A straight soon follows from Nicola as she drives back the champion a step. Nicola starting to open up more now as she has her opening, Josephine moving around the perimeter of the ring more tightly guarding as she fires in single punches off her back foot.
The problem for Skriver now is that Mimnagh is outworking her. Punches digging into the chest of the Danish beauty as hisses out, landing a few clubbing hooks in return as she looks to open up more to work. There's more loud cheers coming with each clean hit the challenger lands. At the end of the round Nicola can't help but smile as she returns to her corner, she had a great start there.
Round 2:
Now opening up more as they exchange. The crowd is fired up as they root for Nicola as she laces the champion in the face with a few clean jab/straight combos, getting clipped in return by some left hooks as her coach yells at her to keep an eye for those. Again it's a hard fought opening period as both land some meaty punches.
This time Josephine slips a straight and buries a short right counter into the abs of Nicola. A jab follows that lands on the lips of the Scottish stunner to back her off. Josephine looks to push forwards but is met with a jab into her face, making her think about it and giving her challenger time to move into space and reset. Taryn not happy with her fighter for letting Nicola off the hook there.
Less then a minute to go and Josephine gets another opening after leaning out the way of a left cross, landing a counter right square into the cheek of Mimnagh. She lands a double jab into her face to push her opponent onto her heels. Nicola finding herself now herded around the ropes as she shells up more. Josephine switching targets nicely as for really the first time in the fight she looks comfortable. The round ends with Josephine looking all business as she returns to her stool, Taryn giving her some advice as clearly she feels Josephine is giving Nicola too much respect.
Round 3:
Stepping back out their corners to resume, there's a pink hue to each fighters cheeks as they engage. Josephine catches Nicola early with a straight into her forehead, followed by a left hook to the jaw to knock Nicola back to the perimeter of the ring. Josephine might have stepped up a gear as she now holds the center of the ring. Moving around Nicola with a mixture of punches as she changes targets. Nicola meanwhile is firing out mostly jabs to find her range before throwing short flurries to try to ward off her foe.
A left hook lands into the ribs of Nicola to open her up to another straight to her face. First gut check time for Mimnagh as she is driven into a neutral corner. Josephine swinging in power shots as she is looking to hurt Nicola, most are blocked though as the Scottish fighter shows her experience to keep her head under fire. Ending up clinching up with Josephine to force the referee to step in and break them apart so she can get out the corner.
Back at it they go with Nicola off the mark the quicker with a jab rammed into the nose of Josephine. Who now finds herself driven back as Nicola steps in with a mixture of straights and books. Josephine gives her a shove to her chest with her left glove, waving Nicola to bring it on before they go toe to toe to a loud roar from the crowd. Cheeks get thumped by hard shots till the bell rings. Both fighters lock eyes intensely as any friendly feelings are definitely gone for the time being. Focused now on being the world champion.
Round 4:
Resuming with a vocal crowd roaring them on. Josephine trying to get the jump on Nicola again, this time though eating a few more cleaner straight punches back into her face when she looks to open up on her. They exchange more with their toes digging into the canvas, looking to land a really hard shot to knock the other back. It takes Nicola leaning out the way of a left hook to set up a counter right across the jaw of Josephine to grab control of the action.
Driving back Josephine to the ropes with a three punch combo square into her face. There's a little blood trickling from the bottom lip of Josephine as she covers up now. Nicola swinging away to the body till Josephine clinches up with her. Their foreheads grind together as the supporter of Nicola are on their feet cheering their girl on. The referee pushes apart both toned women.
Josephine doesn't quite do what Nicola did the last round, both are going more toe to toe as they dig their feet in to exchange combinations. Last ten seconds sees Josephine catch Nicola with a jab to her forehead before a clubbing right hook lands around her cheek. Some sweat flies off just before the bell dings with Nicola admonishing herself for getting caught there, showing how focus she is on winning over anything else.
Round 5:
Flurries are again exchanged, not all the punches landing but they are trying to grab a firm control of the fight. Nicola eats a straight on her left eye to make her cry out, covering up as Josephine steps inside to pound in two left hooks into her ribs before Nicola shoves her back. There's a little puffiness around the left eye of Mimnagh. With Josephine feinting a few times that she is going to go for the eye before jabbing at the chest of the challenger to cause a pink hue to form on it.
Nicola shows she won't back down though as she catches Josephine with a clean right hook to the cheek to send sweat flying off the champion. Nicola landing a jab/straight combo to push Josephine back onto her heels. Now the Danish model finds herself forced back onto the ropes. Where Nicola targets her body as she looks to wear down the champion.
Who pushes off Nicola before moving to the challengers left side to escape off the ropes. Sweat is cascading down both toned models bodies as they exchange punches. Nicola eats a jab onto her lips before an uppercut catches her now. This time it is Mimnagh that is being bullied back to the ropes, Josephine pinning her to the ropes in the final twenty seconds as Nicola shells up. The bell rings with the crowd on its feet cheering both fighters as they return to their stools. Getting wiped down and patched up as both stare at their opponent.
Round 6:
Pushing off their stools to resume. The punches are becoming more venomous as the urge to leave with the title grows even stronger. Nicola isn't enjoying being hit near her left eye as it is definitely reddening up along with the swelling. She steps in more to land hooks on the inside, making Josephine hiss out when she goes to the body.
An uppercut sneakily catches Josephine on her chin to rock her back to her heels. Nicola smelling blood in the water comes swinging at her opponent. Josephine is backed to the ropes where she grabs a hold of her challenger, Nicola trying to break free but needing the referee to do it. There's an annoyed expression on Mimnagh's face as she wasn't able to unload there. In fact Josephine is catching her again with two punch combos back into her face.
Nicola lands a jab square into the bloody lips of Josephine before landing a right hook around her guard to her cheek. Nicola doesn't want to let any chances of victory go as she works on the inside, forcing Josephine to be defensive as her fans roar her on. Josephine again holds onto her as seconds tick away in the round, Nicola hissing as she is getting frustrated. The round soon coming to an end with Nicola stomping back to her corner. Josephine on the other hand wipes her brow as she stares across the ring at Nicola with a mixture of respect and a hint of hate that this woman is trying to take what is hers.
Round 7:
Fighting around the middle of the ring. Nicola tries to step in with a left hook that misses its target, instead she eats a jab on her nose before an uppercut lands on her chin. Nicola is knocked back a step. RIGHT HOOK LANDS ON THE TEMPLE OF NICOLA AND DOWN SHE STUMBLES TWO STEPS TO HER RIGHT ON THE CANVAS!
Josephine doesn't celebrate that as she walks to the neutral corner. Nicolas fans yelling at her to get up! 1....2....3... Nicola blinks as she rolls to her back with a groan. 4....5... Right glove is touching her forehead as clearly she is badly buzzed. 6....7... Nicola kicks the canvas with her right foot as she tries to will herself to overcome the dizziness she has. 8....9....10 that's it! Mimnagh has been counted out!
Winner and Still BBU Welterweight champion Josephine Skriver KO Round 7
After:
What a battle of evenly matched fighters! Josephine is quick to head over to Nicola as she removes her gloves. Kneeling next to her as she checks on her beaten challenger. Nicola's coach with the ringside doctor comes in to check on her. She is soon sitting up and gives a hug to Josephine to show her she will be okay.
Returning to her own corner after being asked by the doctor for space. Josephine picks up her gloves before she goes to sit on her stool. Eva patches up Josephine as Taryn tells her "you did a great job there. Nicola pushed you hard but you kept your bottle." Making the champ smile as she puts out her right fist to fist bump her coach as a thank you for the kind words.
All the while Nicola is checked over. She is soon standing up with a little help, getting a loud cheer and applause from the crowd. Nicola gives them all a wave but clearly the doctor wants to make doubly sure she is ok. Nicola being helped out of the ring, she is a little gingerly walking but doesn't look too badly hurt. Probably more annoyed that she had several strong moments, she couldn't finish the job off when there was cracks of light appearing through the armour of Josephine.
In the ring Josephine looks a little disappointed Nicola has to be taken to the medical room. Her demeanor changes though once she is in the center of the ring. The title belt is wrapped around her waist by the BBU committee member in their black suit dressed to the nines. With her right hand raised in victory as she gets a loud cheer from her fans.
Asking if she can borrow the Danish flag one of her fans has at ringside. Josephine poses with it over her shoulders for the cameras, smiling like a Cheshire cat that got the cream as she gets her third defence under her belt successfully, showing she isn't a fluke champion. Once she steps out the ring she signs the flag and hands it back to the excited fans who loaned it to her. Blowing kisses to the crowd as she heads towards the aisle with her corner crew.
Later that night on her social media Josephine posts a picture with her and Nicola in the medical room sitting side by side on a bench. Josephine with the title on her lap as her as she sits to the right of Nicola. An arm around each others shoulders with their other hands clenched into fists towards each other with grins. The caption reads "anyone want a round two between us someday." Showing that they certainly enjoyed the test of fighting each other.
