Intro:
The first of three title fights tonight sees the BBU bantamweight title strap up for grabs, Samaria Regalado makes a massive step up into the realms of the titlists to take on Alice Eve in a rematch.

These two fought back in March in the Contender Six tournament, Alice would go on to win said tournament to earn the title shot that she won the title in, on her way she stopped Samaria in seven rounds.

Since then Samaria has won her last two fights against Maya Jama and Georgie May Jagger to earn this shot, still young in her career she is seen as an underdog, she has proven that she can pull off upsets.

Before the fight both women met up on the stage for the weigh in and press conference, both coming face to face with Alice holding up the title in her right hand, Samaria looking at it before her gaze returns to her opponent's.

After they separate to each side of the scale, Samaria is first up wearing a violet bikini that shows off her toned body, hands on her hips as she smiles warmly, she comes in at 118lbs before stepping off the scales.

Next up Alice steps on them wearing a white bikini that also shows off her impressive physique, she flexes her right arm with her left hand on her hip, coming in at 114lbs before she hops off the scale to go get her title back to hold over her right shoulder.

Given microphones each to give their thoughts on the fight, Samaria is first to speak as the challenger, she smiles as she brushes a loose strand of hair behind her left ear before she begins to talk.

"It is amazing to have been picked for this title shot, me and Alice as you all know have history, she is a great fighter I'll admit, I felt though that while I was too inexperienced the first fight, now I have more fights under my belt I know how to beat her" says the American with a big smile.

"Oh is that so?" Asks a chipper Alice as she looks over Samaria, adding "see I picked you because I'll admit you gave me a hell of a fight in the Contender's tournament, you have a lot of potential, but you can take me as your teacher sweetheart, this will be another lesson where you truly stand in the pecking order" that makes Samaria's smile disappear as she looks hurt by the assertion she isn't ready for this shot.

"Really? So then why am I getting this title shot?" Asks Samaria with hands on her hips, her coach trying to calm her down as they sense that Alice is messing with her head, the blonde grinning at her seems to prove that is right.

Pointing at the title, Alice answers "as I said I want to teach you a lesson in the ring, you have come a long way already in a short space of time, I think you need a reality check before you get too big for your breeches" Samaria looking at the belt as Alice is talking.

"I guess I have to shut you up in that ring then, that will be mine Alice" pointing at the title herself, Samaria heads off the stage looking determined, as Alice raises the title up for the cameras as she enjoys the spotlight solely on her.

Fight night; out comes Samaria first with her coach behind her, wearing an Atlanta Falcons shirt with Regalado 1 on the back, hoping she'll do better then her NFL team this year, she jogs down the aisle looking more relaxed then she did on the stage twenty four hours earlier.

Slipping off the shirt with help from her coach, Samaria reveals she is wearing a black sports bra with red trim, matching trunks and boots, red gloves with black thumbs, while her hair is braided for battle.

Getting inside the ring, Samaria tests the ropes out by leaning on each top set, raising her right fist as she settles into her corner to acknowledge her fans cheers, Samaria looks focused as she talks to her coach about tactics.

Out comes the champion, Alice has Nicole Ritchie beside her holding up the title belt for the champ, Alice smiles to the crowd as she begins her march down the aisle, taking in the cheers of the fans as they show their love for her.

The English actress is wearing a white sports bra with black trim, matching trunks and shoes, black gloves, while her blonde hair is tied into a fighting ponytail as she steps into the ring with her arms in the air.

Posing at the center of the ring with Nicole beside her, Alice blows a kiss to the crowd before jogging to her corner, the title is handed to the referee as Eve goes through her warm up routine.

The referee brings both women to the ring center, with eyes locked in a tense stare, the crowd can feel the tension as one woman wants to prove she belongs at this level, the other wants to prove she hasn't lost a step to these young guns after her title.

Told to touch up their gloves, both women do as told with with a crack of the leather, jogging back to their corners with their fists already up, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of BBU bantamweight title action.

Round 1:
"Ding" the fighters both come out their corners on their toes, jabbing exchanges in the opening moments of the round to get their range, Samaria digging in the more cleaner punches to the top of her opponent's head.

Soon enough Alice slips a straight to bang in two body shots before she gets a left across her cheek to ward her back, that seems to be the spark to set them off on throwing more punches in bunches.

Both landing stiff shots as they push each other back and forth, Alice moving her upper body more to dodge as Samaria tries to use her reach to control the pace of the fight.

Dipping under a left cross, Alice counters with an overhand right to the jaw of Regalado, an uppercut then pushes back the younger fighter, with the champion pressing back her opponent to the ropes, digging away to the body as Samaria grunts out with each hit.

The round soon comes to an end, Alice nodding to Nicole after she returns to her stool, Samaria seems to chastising herself for not being able to keep Alice under wraps, her coach massaging her arms to keep her loose as they talk about what needs to change.

Round 2:
Moving more side to side as she looks to control the range better, Samaria is starting to land more pinpoint punches into the face of her opponent, keeping her at arms length as they both around the ring.

Managing to duck a jab to move to the inside, Alice uses her left shoulder to bump back the challenger, using the fact she is unbalanced to land two cross punches across the cheeks of Regalado.

Who after being pressed near the ropes, gives Alice a nudge with her left forearm, then comes firing back with a left/right cross combo to turn the head of the blonde side to side, moving away from the ropes back into space to work from.

It is proving more difficult for Alice to work her way inside the reach of the more elusive Samaria, whose jabs and straights are badgering the English fighter to her face, stopping the forward progress in it's tracks of Eve.

Who with less then thirty seconds to go deflects a straight to force the issue in tight, head under the chin of Samaria as she bangs away to the body, pressing her into a corner up till the bell rings to end the round.

Samaria looking more relaxed, even after the bad end to the round, she looked more impressive with her punches, Alice on the other hand is still in a good mood, not too worried by what happened.

Round 3:
Sticking to her game plan, Samaria danced around Alice pounding her cheeks with her hammer like jab, frustrating the older fighter as Alice at the moment couldn't match the footwork of her younger rival.

When Samaria was getting comfortable, Alice quickly reminded her why she is the champion by parrying a straight to step inside with an uppercut to the body, followed by an overhand left to the jaw.

Nudging back Alice when she is near a corner, Samaria manages to avoid getting pinned down, BETTER THEN THAT SHE SIDESTEPS ALICE TO THE LEFT AND LANDS AN UPPERCUT FLUSH TO SEND ALICE TO HER BACKSIDE!

Samaria pumps her right fist into the air as she heads to the neutral corner, 1...2...3... Alice shakes her head, 4...5... Pushing to a knee, Alice doesn't look too badly hurt, 6...7...8.. Pushing to her feet as she gets checked over by the referee, getting the thumbs up she is OK to continue.

Coming forwards as you'd expect, Samaria is trying to knock the head off Alice, but that knockdown seems to have been a flash one, Alice able to dodge before landing counter punches in reply to force back the challenger.

Realising her mistake with moments left in the round, Samaria instead goes back to throwing straight punches, knocking back Alice towards the ropes when she lands a jab/straight flush into her face.

The round comes to a close with Alice covering up, a terrible round for the blonde as she returns to her corner to be met with an annoyed look on Nicole's face, getting read the riot act for letting her guard down.

Round 4:
Understandably full of confidence, Samaria is starting to take the fight more to her opponent, drilling in several hard shots into her face to knock her backwards, starting to bully the champion around the ring.

Alice looks like she is more focused on protecting herself, giving up ground to the bigger woman, as Samaria is coming after her with headhunting attacks, not much body work from Regalado.

While Alice is throwing more punches back at the boobs and body of Samaria as the round goes on, trying to find a way to open up Samaria to her harder punches, slowly she is seeing cracks in the door for her to punch through.

But Samaria shows her dominance right now with a left cross/straight combo landing flush, sending sweat flying as she knocks Alice into a corner, where Alice needs to clinch up before she is pounded into oblivion by Regalado.

Separated by the referee, Alice catches Samaria in coming with a hard right into her body after dipping under a right cross, her left smacks Samaria to the ribs as the round soon comes to a close.

The Lookout! Corner seem stunned at the moment, the champion looks to be well behind on the cards, Alice has puffy looking cheeks as she is getting patched up by Nicole, neither has given up hope of victory.

Round 5:
Getting more aggressive with each success she is having, Samaria comes after Alice with her jabs more attacking then to control the range, she might regret that as she misses with a straight and takes a shot near her liver.

The face of Samaria turns into a grimace as she backs off, a left cross smacks the American across her face as Alice now turns the tables onto her, banging back Regalado towards the ropes as she switches her punches.

Pulling Alice into a clinch, Samaria looks to be hissing through her teeth, angry at the turn of events as Alice presses her tightly to the ropes, trying to make it hard for her to catch her breath.

When they are split apart, Samaria doesn't seem to have the power right now to keep Alice back, finding herself needing to hold on anytime she finds herself being powered backwards into a corner or on the ropes.

In the final moments of the round another straight to her body rocks Samaria as she has tears in her eyes, backed off into the ropes as Alice looks to be trying to smash her fists through Samaria.

At the bell Alice pounds her chest as she stares into the eyes of Samaria to show her whose the stronger, Samaria needing to try sucking in air on her stool, momentum has firmly swung one hundred and eighty degrees.

Round 6:
Coming out her corner looking more defensive in her demeanor, Samaria's body still seems to be troubling her as she isn't on her toes as much, just focusing on trying to recover.

Alice is able to slip under a jab to bang in a right hook under the ribs of Samaria, another left to the body has Samaria bent over, ANOTHER RIGHT TO THE BODY SENDS SAMARIA DOWN TO ALL FOURS!

Thudding her gloves together as she heads to the neutral corner, Alice stares hard at Samaria, 1...2...3... Samaria spits out her gumshield, 4...5...6.. Breathing hard as tears start dripping to the canvas from Regalado, 7...8...9...10 Samaria is counted out!

Winner and still BBU bantamweight champion Alice Eve KO Round 6

After:
What a comeback! Alice kissed the canvas but still comes out on top, looking to the ceiling with her arms in the air as she is beaming, even as her cheeks are reddened with puffiness around them.

Coming over to Samaria, Alice kneels down as she checks on the beaten fighter, showing an almost motherly caring for the younger woman as she strokes her back with her right glove, telling her "God you keep getting better and better, next time I won't be as lucky against you" helping Samaria sit up as the model nods to her.

Cheeks are reddened as she is still winded, Samaria accepts help from Alice to stand as her coach comes over to act like a crutch, they thank Alice for the help as she nods her reply before returning to her corner.

"That tough love nearly cost you" Nicole says with a smile, it's safe to say she wouldn't have been had Alice lost the title, instead they can laugh about her tough love routine at the press conference that definitely fired up Samaria to bring her best.

In the opposite corner Samaria looks better as she stands up now, thanking her coach for their support, she can only watch as Alice goes to the center of the ring to get the title belt, applauding the champion to show her class.

Lifting up the belt after getting her hand raised by the referee, Alice is beaming as she poses for the cameras, her fans are cheering her as she bows to them, Nicole putting the title around her waist.

Sharing a fist bump with Samaria to show their respect for each other, Alice tells her "you'll take this someday, just not from me" winking as Samaria nods before Samaria leaves the ring.

Samaria might have raised her stock in defeat, showing that with more experience she very well could be on top of the division, for now she has to lick her wounds as she heads to the back.

While in the ring Alice points at the camera and says "I want you Charlotte Church" tapping the belt to show that she is willing to defend it against the JMD champion, that would be arguably a super fight in the BBU if it comes to pass.

For now Alice leaves the ring with her coaching crew, she'll be watching her stablemate Doutzen Kroes defend her title next before probably getting the champagne out, all that matters for her is she is still the woman who rules the roost.
