BEFORE: Nicole Scherzinger enters the fight fresh off one of the most valuable triumphs of her career, the Queen Of The Beach pouncing at the expense of Laura Vandervoort back in the native Hawaiian landscape. Long considered as one of the biggest underachievers in Front Street Gym colors, she's caught a second wind in her sails after joining the Lioness Club of America and now targets a familiar enemy from the BBU roster, fellow singer Lisa Maffia. 

 

Maffia is one of the founding and most experienced members of BBU but only made her SSB debut back in March when she was swiftly knocked out in five rounds by Troian Bellisario. Some experts think she's too worn out to make an impact similar to Michelle Keegan but she's also known for her endurance and the fact she will never quit the business regardless of her dwindling prospects. Plus she's the same age as Scherzinger and both women have suffered a lot of punishment in the ring on each side of the pond so this bout may indeed turn into a much closer affair than Tractorpull Magazine thinks! 

 

Lisa Maffia wears a red basque top, black knickers and red gloves. Nicole Scherzinger wears a navy blue bikini, white knickers and black gloves. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division. 

 

Round 1: 

Maffia jumps out early and looks to catch the American napping; she surprises most of the Las Vegas audience by whipping jabs straight into the fellow singer's face and reels her back in desperate cover. Nicole swings wide with a half-hearted response and struggles to embrace the furious British attack as Lisa keeps pounding away and slams a couple of crisp hooks on the temples to wobble Scherzinger onto the ropes where she traps her with more hectic leather display. It's a far cry from the beach pouncing success and Nicole's unable to break free and has to accept Maffia making more inroads and romping her to the body in the final minute which leaves the crowd speechless at the bell. 

 

Round 2: 

Lisa couldn't have dreamed of a better start and looks to continue with her aggression but Nicole digs into her dancing routines and leaves her foe slicing thin air in the opening minute before finding a single hole on the chin and rocking the British veteran with a powerful uppercut on the chin. That's pretty much her first meaningful punch of the fight but it still rocks Maffia on the heels and enables the Hawaiian to add immediate follow up on the face as Lisa's guard collapses within seconds and enforces more Scherzinger control. Lisa weaves around on her feet and refuses to jump away but pays a heavy prize as the American riffles her on the cheeks and wobbles forward where another uppercut blasts her on the jaw and sends tripping over to the ropes regardless. Nicole's quick on the move again and traps the fellow veteran under a leather barrage however lacks precision this time and Maffia survives the onslaught in deep cover which brings more cheers from the otherwise loyal American audience. 

 

Round 3: 

Both girls have won one round each and jump into a brawling display early in the third lashing out back & forth and rendering the defence useless. That's a dangerous tactics especially for the British singer but she still lands the heaviest punch of the duell and sticks it into Scherzinger's nose that makes the American singer moan in pain and wobble into an uppercut frenzy on the chest. Lisa leans on her opponent and almost headbutts her in the proccess but finds more success punishing Nicole's midriff and boobs and enforces a lenghty clinch as the Hawaiian brunette fails to tame the body assault. Lisa is close to punching her below the waist but prefers the navel after all and shrugs the American off in the final minute; the subsequent charge brings her nothing though as Scherzinger's dancer legs allow her to escape to safety even if the crowd looks for a different conclusion to the round, 

 

Round 4: 

Maffia's up for more aggressive menace and swings around the American's head but lacks contact thanks to Scherzinger's superior footwork. She still wants to catch her cold and leans forward with a heavy jab but loses her balance after getting too excited over her prospects and Nicole's subpar performance thus far... Look out! Heavy right hand smacks the British veteran right across the nose and is followed by a crunching uppercut on the jaw that sends Maffia on her heels with a loud groan and triggers immediate Hawaiian frenzy with Nicole stepping up to the plate and hammering leather into her opponent's face... Lisa's arms are too low to provide cover and before she can react properly, Schwerzinger inflicts a couple of nasty cuts under the left eye before bullying her to the ropes as the crowd gets really excited now... Lisa tries to respond from the back foot but is caught with another hook on the nose and leans against the ropes again with a loud whimper and exposes her boobs into Nicole's perfect striking range... a late JMD-like flurry of punches leaves Maffia gasping for air and avoiding eye contact with her rival whereas Nicole shakes her glove in delight and urges the Las Vegas crowd to support the looming knockout. 

 

Round 5: 

Lisa looks like she's crashes into a concrete wall in the previous round and unsurprisingly needs more time to recover... the thing is, Nicole gives her none and resumes the punishment off the bat looping overhands on the temples and staggering the cumbersome girl in the middle of the ring. Maffia offers nothing back and tries to survive in earmuff cover however even a blatant clinch won't stop Scherzinger from enforcing her presence now.. she switches on the ribcage to lower the guard and easily catches the aching British singer with another uppercut on the jaw that slumps her head with more painful yelps before slicing a left/right combo across the nose to turns Lisa's lights out... arms go numb and the UK veteran simply jack-knives to her knees in slo-mo fashion; Nicole saw that coming and refused to add another punch that she still had time for and just allows Lisa to roll onto her side with the right arm collapsed over her breasts... KO5 Nicole Scherzinger!!! 

 

AFTER: Nicole raises both her arms in the air and begins to parade around the ring soaking up the cheers from the crowd and after a rocky start this fight followed a much expected script where Nicole simply overwhelmed the BBU veteran with sheer punching consistency to add to the otherwise superior footwork. Perhaps the Hawaiian partied a bit too much after her Boxing on the Beach triumph over Laura Vandervoort but once she finally got going there was nothing Lisa Maffia could do about it other than avoid a serious injury. It remains to be seen where the East Londoner heads next but she's not making her BBU experience count for much even though facing someone like Scherzinger in her prime would have left most of the divisional peers in trouble as well. 

 

Meanwhile Nicole looks strictly business after this result and is focused on selling the current bantamweight champion short rather than dwelling over the fallen Maffia: "I've heard that Minka Kelly is once again passed over for the title opportunity! Sometimes you just don't understand what's going over there in Philly! Got to talk to my boss to do something about it! He still has those Minka posters all over his office, you know! Anyway, you don't bring a knife when the tanks are charging at you! (laughs)." 

 

Final result: Nicole Scherzinger def. Lisa Maffia KO5.
