Dorota Rabczewska vs Ellie Goulding
(Lioness Club vs BBU Independent)
(8-2, 8 KO vs 5-2, 4 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago
BEFORE: We're live in Torwar Hall in Warsaw where the nation's most popular singer Dorota Rabczewska headlines the BBU International contest versus Ellie Goulding, a genuine star vocallist in her own right. Plans to stage a BBU meeting in Poland have been long in the making but none of the usual elite suspects agreed to face Rabczewska in her own backyard until Goulding unexpectedly accepted the challenge. It's a packed house in Torwar tonight and no less than 8.000 people eagerly await another bona fide performance from their folk heroine.
Introducing the two contestants is Monika Pietrasinska, a glamour model born & raised in Warsaw, who currently occupies a roster spot with the Girls Friday and is regarded as the biggest threat to Doda's status as the best Polish celebrity boxer around Europe. Thankfully the crowd is spared some awkward moments between the two compatriots as Doda basically ignores Monika's presence - for the time being - with her eyes glued on Ellie in the opposite corner of the ring.
Goulding enters tonight's contest following two high-profile defeats at the hands of Nicola Roberts and Azealia Banks which significantly dented her hopes of challenging for the bantamweight straps anytime soon. However a victory over such a stellar athlete like Rabczewska would vault her straight into contention again and that's the main reason why the Herefordshire blonde accepted this risky match-up on hostile territory.
Dorota Rabczewska wears a golden bikini set with black trim and red gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a custom ponytail. Ellie Goulding wears a black bikini set with red trim and white gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a loose ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.
Round 1:
The home crowd roars in support as Doda's quick to pounce on the otherwise defiant English tourist; Ellie tries to beat the older singer for the overhand tangle but comes up just short and eats a scything cross on the mouth that triggers a furious point-blank range blast and allows Rabczewska to control the opening round thereafter. She's more than comfortable in a classic war of attrition and Ellie needs time to adjust to such a ferocious start; unfortunately she is given none and gets pounded back to the ropes as she simply can't match the Polish uptempo assault. Doda leans forward on her opponent so much that she almost headbutts Goulding but backs off at the last moment and spends the final minute drilling her midesction as the English singer disappears behind a tight earmuff instead of clinching the rampant Pole.
Round 2:
It's no real surprise to see Doda so aggressive in the ring and another opening tangle gives her the edge in the second; she beats Ellie for the punch by micro-seconds but it's enough to rattle the younger blonde on her heels and the follow up uppercut blasts sends the English guard into tatters. Ugh! Goulding sinks on her knees when Rabczewska powers ahead with more bruising shots on the money and rocks Ellie's head back & forth which leads into a sluggish retreat back to the ropes. Goulding is clearly overpowered here during these close range tangles but finds no solace in pursuit of plan B as she gets stalked repeatedly to the body when Doda's allowed to maintain the desired stance. She harpoons around Ellie's elbows to secure another dominant position and quite frankly the Torwar crowd is a little disappointed to see the English tourist avoid that gut-wrenching knockdown. Still, Rabczewska's on her way to whitewash the odds as she bulldozes her foe into painful spasms come the bell and one must wonder if Ellie's truly recovered from the beating she took at the Ryder Cup PPV last October?
Round 3:
Goulding's fancy footwork bides her some time early in the third but she makes little offensive in-roads during the opening minute and only slows the pace of this bout down. This could have affected Doda's otherwise short fuse but the Mazovian singer is too experienced to let her advantage slip in such a silly manner. She accepts the peek-a-boo approach and only teases the fellow blonde with repeated aerial swings but doesn't push the envelope so badly as she did before. Ellie needs to come to her and not the other way around; it's too early to claim this tactics as letting the subdued girl off the hook given that Doda's the chief expert of the confidence game and actually twerks some booty at the bell keeping the Warsaw crowd in good spirits despite lack of proper boxing juice in that round.
Round 4:
Ellie finally comes forward with more depth, she beats Doda for a quick one-two combo on the lips but eats a flier on the temple as Rabczewska groans in her effort to get even with the fellow singer. A proper slugfest ensues thereafter and as solid as Ellie is landing her shots on the Pole's face, she gets caught with a nasty uppercut on the jaw and wobbles forward bumping her chin off the shoulder for a good measure. Doda wraps her opponent into a hectic jabbing bash and literally punches her guts raw which renders the younger blonde breathless and allows the Pole to crack another wonderful uppercut straight on the money. Ugh! Ellie's guard really collapses following that strike and she bends to the side but simply can't escape the heat and gets whooped back to the turnbuckle when the Polish girl cranks it up with another aggressive push. She traps Goulding butt-in-ropes and hammers piledrivers up the middle which punish the English rack so badly that Ellie screams out in anguish at the bell and almost slides down on her backside with the ref grabbing her at the last moment. Ugh! That was a close one and Dorota's all over the aching tourist now and vows to knock her brains out in the next round. The crowd loves the extra beef between the two vixens and only the referee tries to calm the atmosphere down since it's really uncalled for - even considering we're in Rabczewska's Mazovian backyard after all.
Round 5:
Goulding struggled to soak up all these punches that punished her rack late in the fourth and she's visibly on short energy supply now which Doda turns into her advantage within seconds off the bell. She squares up to the aching English singer and tackles her chest again - Ellie fails to keep her arms in tact and succumbs to the pressure which the Polish blonde translates into a quick uppercut combo on the jaw that makes the fellow singer wilt into spasms. Goulding tries to swing back from the shimmy shake position but goes high and wide only for Doda to BLAST her on the right eye with a vicious counter that PUTS THE ENGLISH BABE DOWN ON HER BUMS! Huge roar from the audience salutes this moment and oh dear, Ellie's in real trouble here as she rolls onto her face and aches out so loud even the ref wonders whether to stop this one on the spot. He decides against it and a visibly shaken Goulding eventually beats the count at eight but the fat lady is about to sing regardless. Doda charges at the fellow blonde immediately after the command and rips more vicious punches straight into her face; Ellie's guard is completely gone now and the local heroine simply batters her into stupor reeling the slumped lass back to the ropes. Another powerful hook finds the right eye and whips Ellie against the ropes before a stinger on the solar plexus marks the end of the resistance... GOULDING SLIDES DOWN ON HER KNEES with a whimper and rolls onto her face with eyes closed! This time the ref doesn't need to ponder his decision too long and immediately waves the contest off! KO5 Dorota Rabczewska in truly emphatic fashion!!!
AFTER: The crowd got the result they wanted and Doda plants her foot on the fallen blonde's back to pose for the cameras. Even Monika Pietrasinska looks totally supportive of this outcome and joins old sparring buddy as they share some time in the spotlight. Doda's too excited over her victory to contest the brunette stealing some headlines away and they embrace in a warm hug for a while before Monika steps back and allows the singer to enjoy the moment on her own.
During the post-fight press conference questions are asked whether Doda heads back to UK soon since the rumours of Tina Hobley looking to beat her up have dominated the social media activity hours before tonight's event and need to be addressed. The self-proclaimed Polish Queen of Boxing confirms her plans and tells the journalists: "I know most of you have no idea who this Hobley chick is. Well, I don't know either but I've watched her fights and she's done nothing to indicate that I'm gonna have any trouble knocking her out. I guess she's another 40 something woman who experiences a middle age crisis. That happens. I'm gonna put her away from this misery and they'll pay me for doing that which is the best part! (laughs). I'd like to tell you how Ellie was so much tougher than Hobley will ever be but I roughed her up so badly she's on the plane back to London already! I believe her fate will only scare more girls away and you might not see me fighting at Torwar this year again. And I don't care if Monika fills in this void. I'm only here to win and as much as enjoy sharing a drink or two with Monika, I'm still the Polish Queen Bee of boxing. That's not a subject of any debate no matter how hard the British press tries to indicate otherwise! You guys know the truth!"
Final result: Dorota Rabczewska def. Ellie Goulding KO5.
