Mollie King vs Heidi Range
(Double A Boxing vs Lioness Club)
(15-12, 15 KO vs 17-13, 15 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Mollie King enters tonight's action full of wrath because she received an official message from the BBU that her application for the upcoming Ashes PPV has been rejected: "Geez, first they pass me over for the Contenders Six event and now this! It's a frickin' travesty! So, I lost to Cher Lloyd? Big deal! I'm working my ### off and they tell me Roxanne Pallett is more important? Man, since when brunettes are more important than blondes, huh?"

Meanwhile Heidi Range is effectively that person who cost Mollie King a spot on the Contenders tournament last season and she knows it: "Yeah, Mollie is just that second best at everything! Frankie Bridge owns her ### at their band and I'm the bigger draw in BBU as well. Look, I know my limitations but hell, even Jade Ewen's legs couldn't beat me out and I'm sooo much better than Mollie too! It's quite a shock we never fought before but it's time to scratch that cocky bytch off the list tonight!"

Mollie King wears a yellow bikini top, black hotpants & yellow gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a curled ponytail. Heidi Range wears a red bikini top, white hotpants & red gloves. Long blonde hair wrapped in a bun at the back of her head. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.

Round 1:
Both girls are ready for some quick-fire action and they dig upstairs seeking immediate damage which leads into a furious opening exchange. Mollie follows through with a little more power though and wobbles Heidi onto her heels before blasting her across the chest. That shot somehow pierces Heidi's guard and stuffs her on the spot which allows Mollie to clean out downstairs as she leans on the older blonde and plugs more shots just above the waist. That's a nice little changeup from the Surrey-based singer who bumps Range onto the ropes thereafter as the Mersey singer can't match the slugging pace. She lands a few single punches but just can't stop King from romping more control as the final minute leaves Heidi covering up wholesale along the ropes.

Round 2:
Mollie finds more success pounding into Heidi's midriff and the older singer struggles to adjust to the pace of her rival's attacks which leaves her repeatedly pushing off the heels in a desperate attempt to match the intensity of this duell. King appears to be truly upset over the double snub and barks in her efforts as she lays it into Heidi's guts. Ugh! Heidi begins to scowl in pain when her belly button takes repeated hits and Mollie digs her with a stray elbow across the chest before a left hook on the jaw sends the older blonde reeling on the ropes. Range tries to clinch the aggressive foe but Mollie still drills her on the midriff and shows supreme strenght as she shakes off the stalling tactics and beats Heidi for a right-on-right that drills the fellow blonde's nose and makes the Mersey blonde yelp in pain right at the bell.

Round 3:
Mollie doesn't even require additional coaching help from Rochelle Humes who has joined the bandmate's corner ahead of the third but Heidi got properly roasted by Mel B. during the interval and now rolls into a slugging action hoping to derail the Surrey blonde's hype. She slips through with some promising shots on the body but struggles to make hay upstairs and gets busted by a low hook on the groin instead as Mollie almost knocked her over with a quick head-butt as well. STOP! Ref wants a word with The Saturdays singer and she doesn't like it! The delay allows Range to catch her breath and she beats the younger blonde for a cross hooking route with more action occuring over the top thereafter. Both women change their target approach but this only triggers chaos in the final minute and Heidi clinches Mollie outright to see out the clock.

Round 4:
Mollie comes in hot and bounces off the top of Heidi's shoulder before eating a stinger on the solar plexus as the older blonde channels the body assault route to stuff her opponent on the heels in the center of the ring. Heidi feels more at ease in close range but she has to make her slugging count... and she does! She rips a left hook on the jaw before bursting into Mollie's chest to cripple the younger blonde amid loud spasms. She adds more punishment downstairs and dominates the second minute with Mollie losing ground and getting thumped back to the ropes. Clinching time but Heidi peppers the exposed liver area and almost tackles King to the canvas as the younger singer desperately tries to break free once she realizes she can't stop the Mersey foe. Heidi belts her with extra dose of leather though and piles into her tummy to leave Rochelle Humes fuming come the bell.

Round 5:
More flyweight slugging in the center of the ring as Mollie goes back to punish Heidi's midsection but the Mersey blonde nails her with a vicious piledriver that tears a small cut over the right eye. Mollie gets bumped onto her heels and just can't stretch her elbows as the older singer enforces the desired phone booth stance. She whacks King on the ribcage and prevents her from the clinching delay alas she loses some stream come the second half of the round and Mollie shoves her onto the ropes where both girls are better off with a breather. Not much action down there so the ref brings them back to the center of the ring and Heidi tries to slam more shots on the belly but the tired looking fellow blonde clinches her again and the round is basically a draw according to Denise van Outen in the booth.

Round 6:
Mollie takes off upstairs and knocks several crisp punches into Heidi's face but gets stuffed with a low belter just above the waistline as the Mersey blonde seeks the close range comfort zone. Both girls lean into each other so much they clash heads but Mollie rips a left cross on the nose to stun Heidi into loud spasms. The older singer tries to push off with a drilling hook but fails to adjust her range and cuts thin air as King settles into a dominant mid-distance pounce. She beats Range from afar and lands one piercing strike after another to glue her opponent to the spot. Heidi doesn't have enough agility to force the phone booth stance anymore and has to bide her time looping meaningless punches which tips the action into King's favor. However the Surrey blonde just can't land a big haymaker either way and the action slows right down with both women seemingly too evenly matched to make a breakthrough!

Rounds 7-8:
Mind over matter stuff as both girls have accepted the fact they're not gonna win this with a big punch and they're too experienced to commit a glaring error as well. Back & forth tease ensues which doesn't sit well with the Cardiff audience but maybe there's one last hurrah in the making? Mollie tries to win the artisitc impression amid ineffective slugging while Heidi isn't punished enough for her sluggish movements which upsets Rochelle Humes in particular. There's a reason Mollie just can't get over the elite hump and tonight is a prime example as she settles for single-punch assault that makes little progress. This ain't the welters where one punch can make the difference and even Denise van Outen is annoyed in the booth as she lets Range gather her breath back and come the final stretch of the eight, it's the former Sugababe who pounces on King's midriff and tries to rally for the votes. Mollie tackles her with a hip toss and almost causes the older singer to go down as the ref has given up on trying to separate them by this stage.

Round 9:
Heidi recovers into some meaningful production and blows past the low guard to connect with Mollie's guts in close range. Mollie tries to dance around the area and loops a couple of good hooks over the top but Heidi sticks her mitts into her face which triggers a proper brawl. Both women lack oxygen but Heidi's punches make better progress as she catches the younger blonde on the chin several times before blasting her on the eye; King drops into mid-distance and tries to swing from the back foot but she bounces off the top of Range's forehead and gets WHACKED by a big right hand on the jaw that sends her into spasms. She wobbles forward but only finds another cruel hook on the nose that spins her to the side. Heidi flies in with a follow up and NAILS the reeling foe on the nose... DOWN GOES MOLLIE!!! That was simply too much for the Surrey blonde who crashes hard onto her backside and takes the standard eight count along the way! She sits down on her heels before getting up and there's not much spillage from the wound over her eye but Range sticks her mitts into that very spot and thumps the wilting foe into the ropes where she tries to finish King off! Not gonna happen! Bell saves Mollie from disaster but she walks to her corner with eyes closed and looks utterly spend here!

Round 10:
Heidi pounces on the slow-moving opponent and scores easy punches up the middle while the competitive spirit seems to have deserted the aching Mollie. She swings wide off the mark and gets clobbered onto the ropes where Heidi adds vintage gut shots to force a louder yelping sound from her foe's throat. Mollie can only clinch the Mersey blonde and Heidi is satisfied enough with the body assault as she plugs King in the gut and wants her to submit verbally. Nope, Mollie just can't go down that road and prefers to clinch the life out of Heidi who gets ignored by the ref when she wants some separation. Mollie's tank is empty but she hangs on as Heidi believes the knockdown matters the most regardless. She shoves the gassed Mollie into the turnbuckle but then lets go off her and walks back to center of the ring as King just doesn't have anything left and rests against the ropes until the bell rings out for the very last time.

We go to the scorecards - comes back UD10 Heidi Range!!!

AFTER: Both girls are physically spend but Heidi ekes out the extra dose of energy when she's announced as the winner - by three or four points across the cards. She makes some gestures at the clearly upset Rochelle Humes before making her way over to Mollie who just sits down on the canvas and simply cannot get up! Off she goes for a Walk of Shame! Or not? Mollie crawls across to her corner and Heidi mounts like her a mule and tries to ride back to the center of the ring but the mule has collapsed and Mollie mumbles her canot breathe anymore as Heidi presses her thighs against her waist. "Leave her alone, c###!", Rochelle enters the ring and grabs the Mersey blonde by the hair before sending her tumbling to the side. And now both girls are left for waste as Heidi has banged her head against the ropes and appears to be dizzy! 

"What the hell are you doing?", Mel B. confronts the former champion but Rochelle reminds her she won't buy any excuse if Yasmin Verheijen wants to back off the PPV bout: "Let your kid know I'm ready for her and then some! And Heidi is still trash no matter that she beat Mollie tonight! I hope she doesn't cry too much! You're ALL past-prime anyway!" (laughs).

Final result: Heidi Range def. Mollie King UD10.
