Intro:
Rematch time between two old rivals. It feels like a different era when Joan Smalls and Jourdan Dunn last fought. Back in 2018 they were both undefeated going into the final of the BBU Welterweight title tournament. Joan knocked out Jourdan in a five round fire fight to win the title and end Jourdan's undefeated streak. Can jourdan get her revenge after so many years?
Form wise Joan has to be the favourite as she has won her last five bouts. Jourdan on the other hand has lost her last seven. With Joan being the catalyst in most pundits eyes for that run beginning. A win over Joan will surely be a massive confidence boost on so many levels.
Before the bout both were asked for their views by the BBU reporter Anna Woolhouse. Joan was first as she was walking towards her locker room, she wore a pink tracksuit with white trainers. Holding her gym back over her right shoulder as she smiles to Anna.
Asked about her feelings towards Jourdan, Joan answers "Jourdan was my first real rival in this sport. For a good year of my career we trash talked and when we met, it was so amazing. Maybe I am getting old and nostalgic that I have fond memories of then." Laughing as Anna nods with a smile.
She then adds "but now we are both older. I am not friends with Jourdan but I respect her, we'll go in that ring and I know she'll give me a headache, I plan on laying her out." After shaking hands with Anna, Joan heads off to her locker room.
While Jourdan walks into the back stage area wearing a black dress with matching heels. She stands hands on her hips as Anna comes to ask her about the fight. She tells Anna "look I don't like Joan one bit. That bytch robbed me and I have never forgotten that moment."
She sternly continues by saying "tonight I am going to pay her back. People have made out that I was a hype job. F**k that shyt! I am done being disrespected by all these mouthy wh*res who think they can beat me." Marching past Anna as she isn't in the mood to stay any longer around the interviewer.
Fighting time! Joan is out first with Taryn Terrell behind her. Joan nods to her fans as she is near the ring. Climbing through the ropes wearing a red sports bra with white stripes down the sides, matching trunks, red shoes and gloves, hair is braided. She taps her cheeks as she says to herself "come on Joan!" To fire herself up.
Now Jourdan begins her walk to the ring with her coach behind her. She is wearing a black sports bra, matching trunks, shoes and gloves, hair is braided as she steps into the ring. Jourdan bangs her gloves together as she glares at Joan.
Both women jog to the center of the ring with Jourdan telling Joan "you ain't getting lucky this time." Making Joan laugh, that doesn't exactly go down well as Jourdan gives her a death stare. After the referee goes through their instructions, Joan offers a fist bump but Jourdan shows her no respect in turn. Once they are in their corners, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.
Round 1:
Both women coming out hot as they exchange a quick flurry. Joan stepping inside to whack in short hooks around the body of Jourdan. Who responds by stepping back and landing jabs into the forehead of the smaller woman. They nearly bump heads at one point in this energy start to the fight as they both step in with a right cross.
The crowd are cheering them on as they plant their feet to exchange. Joan changes things up by dipping down at times and coming over the top with overhand shots. Jourdan gets her head twisted around by these shots and soon finds herself muscled into a corner. Getting her body worked over till she can push off Joan to get into space.
Late in the round Jourdan is landing more straight shots to keep Joan at range. Both stinging the others cheeks as they exchange. Eyes locked till the bell rings. Jourdan grits her mouthpiece as she knows that she didn't get the start she wanted.
Round 2:
They resume with Jourdan landing more straight punches after being told off by her coach. She is looking more disciplined after the wild start to the fight. Joan is still ducking down at times to land straight shots into the chest and torso of her foe.
A right cross catches Joan on her nose, a left hook follows onto her cheek. Jourdan is now forcing her around the outside part of the ring. Both slinging in straight shots. It's Jourdan landing the cleaner shots as she has space to lean back and strike at Joan to knock her head back.
Late in the round a right hook smacks Joan across her face. She shells up as Jourdan is looking to pound her lights out. Most punches land on the gloves of Smalls. Still some hook land on her flanks to make her cry out. The round coming to an end with Jourdan giving a death stare to her rival before the return to their corners.
Round 3:
Back comes Joan early on as she forces her way on the inside. That seems to suit Joan better as she drives her fists into the stomach of Jourdan. The English model pushes back Smalls to create space to sling back her own hooks.
They exchange around the center of the ring with Dunn looking to create space. Punches are marking up cheeks as they look to push their rival around. Joan landing several crisp shots around the chest of Jourdan to make her hiss. While Jourdan lands back over the top to her foes face.
An overhand left smacks Jourdan across her jaw to twist her head. Joan muscles back the taller fighter into the ropes, head down as she fires in piston like body shots to make Dunn grunt. The bell soon sounds with Jourdan pushing back Joan. A few heated words are exchanged as the referee gets between them. Cooler heads prevail as they walk back to their corners. Jourdan looking the more annoyed as she sits on her stool.
Round 4:
Jourdan striking with more straight shots as she steps into them. Joan is forced early to box around the perimeter of the ring as Jourdan is pushing the pace up a notch. Joan firing back from the outside to try to match her opponents intensity.
A left hook opens up Joan to a straight on her forehead. Jourdan pinning her down to the ropes. Joan having to soak up the pressure as best as she can on her arms. Once she sees an opening Joan clinches up with her bitter rival. Sweaty embrace between the two models with Jourdan showing she'll bend the rules to win with kidney shots with her right fist when she can break it free. Referee splits them up with a warning to Dunn.
Not long left in the round; Joan catches out Jourdan as she comes at her. A right smacks Jourdan on her belly button to make her bend over a groan. Jourdan looking a little winded as she is being beaten around her body. For her dominance in the round, she seems happy when the bell rings to end the round. Jourdan taking a few breaths to get her air back. Joan meanwhile talks to Taryn as she knows she is in a fight here, Jourdan hasn't gotten any easier after all these years.
Round 5:
Jourdan looks a little tender to the body when she gets hit around her stomach. She fires back with straight shots looking to land a big hook. Just missing though as Joan leans her head back in time to allow herself to counter Jourdan. The fighters digging their toes in to add extra power to their shots.
A straight catches Jourdan now on her chin to snap her head back. Jourdan trying to swing back with a left hook that finds air as Joan crouches under it. A NASTY RIGHT HOOK INTO THE LIVER AREA OF DUNN MAKES HER CRY OUT AND COLLAPSE TO ALL FOURS!
Walking to the neutral corner. Joan taps her gloves together as she watches the count. 1....2.... Jourdan spitting her gumshield out to get some more air into her body. 3....4....5... She is wincing trying to get to her feet. 6....7... She is in too much pain to push up from her knees, 8.... Cradling her stomach as 9.....10 that's it! She is counted out!
Winner Joan Smalls KO Round 5
After:
Joan repeats her victory six years apart. She taps her chest with her right glove as she is fired up. Another victory for the former champion as she looks to regain her title belt. Joan jogging back to her corner to get a hug from Taryn.
All the while Jourdan is fighting tears of frustration. She has an ice pack applied to her stomach from her coach to ease the pain she is in. Another defeat and another one to the fists of Joan. Her confidence might be shot as she can't seem to get that victory to get back on the right path.
Once she is able to Jourdan is helped to leave the ring. She stares furiously at the ground as she looks like she hates the world right now. Can she find the answers to end her woes? Right now it feels like young prospects might start coming her way to look for a victory against a one time contender. Which has to simply be heart breaking for her.
In the ring Joan gets her left arm raised in victory. She doesn't celebrate too much but she does blow a few kisses to the camera to show love for her fans. Joan looks to have her mojo and you can't write off that one day she won't be top of the mountain once more.
Out the ring steps Joan with Taryn. Both discussing the fight as they are happy how things played out. There's some things of course to work on but Joan seems in a solid place in her career. Whose next for the Puerto Rican star?
