Kimberley Walsh vs Olympia Valance
(Lioness Club vs Girls Friday)
(10-16, 10 KO vs 3-0, 3 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: No love lost between the two women who have insulted each other on social media and beyond over the past several months. This fight only happens now because Kimberley Walsh was ordered to derail Vera Brezhneva's train on the behalf of stablemate Dorota Rabczewska first but that mission has failed back in September so the former Girls Aloud singer is finally free to deal with her own storyline.
She's accused Olympia Valance of being the "less talented sister" and a "genuine glamour model trash" but the Aussie tourist fired back immediately calling the West Yorkshire lass 'sausage legs" and "the worst singer on that meaningless band".

Both girls had to be separated during a heated press conference where a potential stable war concept between the Lioness Club and Girls Friday was otherwise discussed and coaches Melanie Brown and Lauren Berlingeri vowed to keep the tempers down in the ring if possible.
However BBU TV's Denise van Outen believes the tension between the two hellcats has snowballed into a proper grudge fight reality and the stretcher must be kept on stand-by since the opening bell.
Kimberley Walsh wears a green bikini set with white trim and white gloves. Long dark blonde hair wrapped in a loose bun at the back of her head. Olympia Valance wears a crimson bikini set and black gloves. Long dark brown hair in loose waves. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Heavy jabbing rush dominates the opening minute as both girls secure an early connection to the body which lifts Kimberley's boobs like it's a proper JMD fight.
Olympia is the taller of the two and displays superior reach but she accepts the close range tangle just to explore her options to punish the blonde singer and she outworks Walsh in the classic swarming struggle down the stretch.
The Bradford woman begins to groan in pain when her tummy gets drilled repeatedly but she doesn't seek an escape route and manages to find a couple of nasty uppercuts that connect with the brunette's jaw. However she struggles to fully stretch her elbows and eats a quick double combo on the temples when Valance moves upstairs to wobble her on the heels come the final minute.
Olympia then steps back and hauls in another accurate hooking combo that backs Walsh into the ropes but the clock expires before the Aussie model can add further punishment.

Round 2:
More close range pounding from both women and it's a really brave effort here so early in the going.
While Kimberley keeps aiming over the top, she gets picked off to the body and Olympia leans on her so much she almost catches her on the nose with a seemingly not-so-accidental head-butt. Walsh grabs the brunette's arm and wraps her back to the ropes where some pushing and shoving force the referee into action.
Olympia shows superior speed thereafter as she beats the blonde for the initial punch but Kimba's nifty footwork allows her to escape a proper leather rush. Still, she gets backed into defensive circles and Valance's offensive pursuit enables her to hassle her around the ring for remainder of the round.

Round 3:
Olympia jumps into another aggressive drive and smacks a double combo into the singer's face which stacks Walsh up in the center of the ring.
Another drilling hook then pierces the navel area and drops the older woman into spasms.
Valance moves back upstairs again and tries to dismantle Kimba's guard with a series of uppercuts however the West Yorkshire lass clinches her and wrestles towards the ropes.
Olympia manages to break free before the referee steps in and lands another cruel shot to the body which glues the singer onto the ropes and the speed supply allows her to land a quick hook across the mouth.
Kimberley wobbles against the turnbuckle and gets trapped there as Valance outworks her in close range even though most of the model's punches bounce off the guard this time.

Round 4:
Valance tees off in another jabbing rush but gets smacked with a quick hook on the mouth and Walsh finally shows an injection of pace that allows her to outmuscle the brunette in close range.
She snaps her head back a couple of times and beats the younger girl for a vicious right-on-right punch that tears the Aussie lips into a swollen shape. Ugh! Olympia's knees buckle underneath that strike and she gets wrapped into a leather frenzy with the blonde getting vocal in her pursuit of dominating the other woman.
Olympia gets stacked into the Lioness corner and soaks up heavy abuse as the singer thumps her up the middle and lands more vicious uppercuts that sink her on jelly knees.
A quick hook to the jugs leaves the brunette breathless and that's the best showing of the night for the former Girls Aloud member.

Round 5:
The crowd really gets behind Kimberley now as she tackles the Aussie tourist to the body before flicking a quick uppercut route that stuns the younger girl on her heels. More angry yelps from Walsh fuel her aggressive rush and she pummels the suddenly cumbersome opponent back to the ropes where she connects with the chin a handful of times and cripples the brunette amid loud whimpers.
Valance's defense gets terribly exposed here and she gets spun sideways into the ropes when Kimba delivers the hooking juice.
She thumps the subdued foe in relentless fashion and adds a nasty cut under the left eye to the damage list before blasting one hook on the temple too many... DOWN GOES VALANCE!!! The proud tourist drops to her left side in the corner and is fortunate that the bell rescues her once she recovers from the count at seven and a half.
If there was more time left on the clock, Walsh would have probably destroyed her - according to Denise van Outen in the booth - given her commanding position.

Round 6:
Girls Friday head coach Lauren Berlingeri tries to fuel Olympia's mental recovery and physio Eva Carneiro works frantically on the deep gash that has developed under the left eye.
The tourist seems to be in good spirits when the bout resumes but Kimberley is all over her within the opening few seconds and begins to stalk her with more head hunting pressure.
The brunette fires back from her heels and lacks the hitherto impressive power supply which only aids to the singer's determination to knock her out.
Walsh isn't a real speed demon across the boards but she's shown superior skills compared to the statesque model tonight.
Both women engage in a proper slugfest but Kimba just can't resume the success she enjoyed in the previous round and Valance's longer reach comes in handy to fend off the head hunting pursuit.
The Yorkshire woman gasses out come the final minute and abandons the knockout plan for the time being however the Aussie babe isn't brave enough to make her pay for it, still feeling the effects of that nasty encounter with the canvas in the fifth.

Round 7:
The Lioness Club entourage feels they're one good series away from conquering the tourist's challenge but Olympia seems to have recovered from that knockdown physically as well as mentally here in the seventh. She blocks off Kimberley's initial jabbing tackle and whacks her across the mouth on the reply which triggers another slugging war of attrition. Walsh is committed to the aggressive approach and scowls in her efforts to deliver that haymaker; she works around the patched up wound under the brunette's left eye but is forced to apply a proper cover down the stretch when Valance's punches begin to stack up.
Come the final minute the Aussie babe roots the singer to the spot and picks her off from both flanks; Walsh just can't escape the heat and bends awkwardly to the left side which exposes her liver area... Olympia blasts her straight on that vulnerable spot with a swift hook and the singer spins back to the ropes with a loud scream at the bell.

Round 8:
The age difference between the two women should come to the fore at this
stage of the fight and despite Walsh pushing for the knockout solution, she gasses our very quickly now as Olympia follows coach Berlingeri's advice and stays out of another slugging exchange during the opening minute.
She relies on a counter-punching assault before finally kicking into a higher gear when she takes advantage of Kimba losing her balance after another whiffed hooking approach.
A brutal left hook finds the blonde's mouth and staggers her in the center of the ring, the next punch pierces the high guard and connects with the jaw yet Valance only unloads the juice when she bangs her foe on both temples and buries her on the heels with a jug-muggin' delivery afterwards. Ugh! Kimba's mounds almost bounce off her chin and out of her bikini top and she gets pummelled back to the ropes amid wild screams from the Cardiff audience.
Olympia just lays into her during the final minute and the Girls Aloud veteran fails to respond while leaking energy hand over first now.. she slumps onto jelly knees in the dying seconds but can't even clinch her foe so the referee has to step in at the bell when the Aussie tourist shows no signs of stopping the onslaught. Kimberley looks utterly spend after soaking up so much punishment and hugs her aching jugs during the interval.

Round 9:
There's literally no fuel left in the singer's tank anymore as we head into the ninth and both the Lioness and Girls Friday entourages know that. Olympia jumps into another jabbing frenzy and splits the blonde's mitts at will while snapping her head backwards and sinking her on soft knees.
Ugh! Kimberley just can't punch herself into safety whatsoever and sways on her feet back & forth until a quick uppercut smacks her on the chin and drops her arms by the wayside. Valance turns from the hip and NAILS her with a left cross on the nose that SENDS THE EMBATTLED SINGER FLYING DOWN ON THE CANVAS!!! Lauren Berlingeri shouts the loudest from the corner while her protegee quickly struts back to join her coach and allows the ref to take over. However the fallen blonde is simply too badly damaged and can't mount a comeback so gets mercilessly counted out to a solid ovation from the audience.
Tourist victory or not, this was a beautiful finish to an otherwise great fight! KO9 Olympia Valance!!!

AFTER: Given the recent Girls Friday roster shake-up, apparently Olympia's place within the Newcastle-based stable is under close scrutiny but the Aussie stunner is only 24 years old and one of the best bantamweight prospects while standing 5'8" tall. You simply can't release a talent like that even though the likes of Kelly Gale or Sara Sampaio are destined to steal the bigger headlines over here in Europe. However Olympia is a strong ACB championship prospect and Denise van Outen admits she'd like to see more of this exciting brunette going forward.
She maybe struggled to punish Kimberley badly enough during the early stages of the bout and almost allowed a proper come-from-behind success but in the end, she smoked the Girls Aloud stunner into semi-consciousness and deserves all the credit for tonight's performance which can lead into the long-anticipated Lioness vs Girls Friday stable war in the foreseeable future.

Final result: Olympia Valance def. Kimberley Walsh KO9.
