BBU MIDNIGHT SUMMER BOXING PPV

(from Echo Arena, Liverpool)

BEFORE: Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson didn't show much production on her BBU debut back in December when Chelsee Healey blasted her out in three rounds but vows to follow bandmate Jade Thirwall's high profile pouncing and sets her sights on fellow singer Ellie Goulding tonight. The blonde 28 year old is undefeated in three BBU bouts to date but perhaps more importantly made her SSB debut already and lasted very impressive six rounds against the current US bantamweight champion Allison Mack before going down to a very imposing figure of Nicki Minaj just few days ago. 

 

From Mack & Minaj to Nelson, that sounds like a serious step backwards for Goulding however she still requires to gain as much experience as possible if she hopes to join the divisional elite. It's obvious she will have little trouble finding work in the ring but now that veterans Alesha Dixon, Lisa Maffia and Jessica Schwarz no longer threaten to rule the bantamweight, Ellie hasn't really impressed the likes of Charlotte Church and current champion Una Healy who consider her a mere flash in the pan despite the Mack opportunity on the other side of the pond. What better way to remind herself with a bang than to destroy a very promising and attractive singer like Nelson? 

 

Jesy Nelson wears a dark blue corset top, white knickers and black gloves. Ellie Goulding wears a black corset top, yellow knickers and yellow gloves. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division. 

 

Round 1: 

Jesy wants to upset the odds and attacks the blonde with all the swinging and pouncing available and scores a couple of early hooks on the cheeks to force Ellie's hand and immediate reply upstairs. Both girls trade vicious leather in the middle of the ring but the tactics are perhaps ill-advised for Nelson who eats a crunching hook on the jaw and struggles to keep the high tempo going; she allows Goulding to nick more crisp shots on the head and bellows out into a deep earmuff down the stretch as the blonde riffles more punches and assumes full command of the action come the two minute mark. Nelson has to yield real estate but wobbles back into the ropes as Ellie sends single hand assault on the face and dumps the brunette into moaning spasms as the punches begin to stack up and expose Jesy's below par resistance. She tries to fight back from behind the guard but only grazes the blonde's guard and is rooted to the spot with a big left hook on the eye that gives her a visible shiner right at the bell instead. 

 

Round 2: 

Nelson quickly abandons the aggressive ideas but Goulding's in the mood to destroy her as she leaps into the brunette's path and finds more success upstairs tearing the mitts aside and rocking Jesy's head back & forth. The Liverpool crowd appreciates the blonde's work rate and the brunette's moans are getting louder with every punch crashing into her face; she just can't keep her gloves in tact whatsoever here and is pounded back to the turnbuckle in a hurry where Ellie shows some versatility and pounces on the exposed guts with Jesy all covered up high but soaking up relentless punishment anyway. Goulding barks in her efforts to chop the fellow singer down and ravages the ribcage during the second minute; Nelson slumps badly on soft knees already and drops her guard very low earning herself immdiate facial assault again. It's all Goulding in the final minute; the one-sided beatdown continues and Jesy ends the round with both her eyes now marked with shiners and a sore looking midsection too. She shakes her head in disbelief but she should have expected no sympathy from Ellie tonight and nobody seems surprised how vicious the blonde is. 

 

Round 3: 

Jesy's slow to get up for the third and doesn't have the speed and agility to avoid a looming disaster with Ellie tearing into her face again. The blonde rips the guard aside and resumes the head rocking to sink a dismal looking foe on her heels but she quickly breaks her resistance with a sharp hook on the liver that wobbles Nelson forward with a loud scream. Ellie shows great reflex and when the brunette seeks a desperate clinch, she is nailed with a piercing uppercut HARD on the jaw... DOWN GOES NELSON... the pretty brunette is whipped flat on her back in no time and that shows the strenght of the blonde who shakes her glove in delight before walking slowly to the neutral corner... Jesy rolls on her side and has trouble with getting up; she scampers back on her feet at eight but looks a wounded species already and seeks a quick way out of the Goulding misery... she is send back into the blonde's path and Ellie crushes into her face with rapid fire, the Little Mix guard is dismantled with ease and Nelson gets pounded back onto the ropes with smacking hooks that shut her eyes and render the defence invisible... Goulding just hammers along and adds more lumps to the brunette's face well into the second minute but Jesy's almost knocked out senseless by the vicious barrage and cries out in utmost pain as her head slumps between her shoulders... It's a long card ahead so the ref gives the battered brunette no second chance and hauls Goulding away to safety leaving Nelson to crash on her knees with a royally bruised face moments later... TKO3 Ellie Goulding!!! 

 

AFTER: That was a terribly one-sided affair and Jesy Nelson just doesn't have the skills required to give a hot prospect like Ellie a fair fight. In fact, Denise van Outen questions whether she's not another jobber in the making as she looked all out of sorts for the second time now and her reputation is set to suffer a lot of stick in the weeks to come. There are several lowly ranked girls available in the division but the mental wounds take much longer to heal and poor Nelson is barely able to hold back the tears as she exits the ring in a hurry amid repeated heckling from the unforgiving Liverpool audience. 

 

Meanwhile Ellie Goulding couldn't be more delighted with her performance tonight regardless of Jesy's dismal stock. She seems to have earned herself the luxury of picking her opponents which is no mean feat for an indie fighter but that Asylum invitation basically eleveated her status overnight and even Una Healy must seriously consider her options now. The public scolding on twitter ain't gonna cut it for the Irish champion anymore according to van Outen and well, Ellie remains a hot property among the divisional elite and indicates she's got plenty of time on her side to still claim the bantamweight throne before she even thinks of going over to America full-time. 

 

Final result: Ellie Goulding def. Jesy Nelson TKO3.
