(Lioness Club vs BBU Independent)
(6-4, 6 KO vs 2-2, 2 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: This is about a personal revenge as Yasmin Verheijen eyes a swift payback over Nabilla Benattia's epic KO4 destruction of Jessica Michibata in May of last year. That loss basically removed Michibata from elite contention and Yasmin wants to score one for her friend tonight which is a honorable thing to do if you want to cover for your own losses. Indeed Yasmin's quest to upset JMDD & welter contender Hailey Clauson came up very short four months ago but BBU TV's Charlie Webster believes the exotic Dutchwoman deserve praise for even making that fight happen.

Nabilla Benattia's trash-talking skills are well known over on the mainland but you expect nothing less from a reality TV starlet that earns her money with her mouth and skimpy outfits. She goes all French here trying to upstage the Lioness contingent and vows to headline the beach boxing season really soon, it's almost like she knows Yasmin booked this fight for Wembley Arena to maximize her chances as the odds are somewhat even which is a major boost for the French free agent.

Compatriot Robin Holzken appears in Yasmin's corner which fuels the rumours about her replacing either Sophie Howard or Alex Gerrard sooner rather than later but there is no Jessica Michibata who's supposedly working on a boxing return herself back in her home country of Japan.

Yasmin Verheijen wears a pink bikini set & orange gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a curled ponytail. Nabilla Benattia wears a turquoise angled monokini that is supposed to make noise in the JMDD/beach boxing season & navy blue gloves. Long black hair tied in a sleek ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Yasmin wants to channel the grudge mission ASAP and jumps into a high-octane jabbing assault but surprise, surprise Nabilla is more than ready for this as she responds in the slugging fashion and clips the pageant girl on the chin which triggers instant phone booth explosion. Both girls are willing to knock each other's head off inside the opening minute but Nabilla drives her shots a little better and spins Yasmin's ponytail around more often before she blasts a hooking monster on the nose and wobbles the fellow brunette outright. Yasmin wants to push off from her heels but Nabilla is right there and she NAILS the Dutchwoman with another hook on the nose before driving a low harpoon into her belly button that truly puts Verheijen on notice. Ugh! Yasmin is stuck on her heels and Benattia scythes through her high guard to smack early bruises across that pretty pageant face that forces a wholesale retreat come the final minute. Nabilla goes all French again as she taunts Yasmin to respond but the Lioness brunette refuses to blink and shows some nifty footwork along the ropes instead to bleed out the clock.

Round 2:
Nabilla comes flying in with another jabbing menace and Yasmin holds the early pace in similar slugging fashion before she gets whacked on the chin a couple of times and shows significant defensive flaws down sthe stretch. Benattia is glued onto the aerial assault and digs more promising leather into the fellow brunette's cheeks before a belting cross on the liver area slow her down and triggers the Dutch recovery. Verheijen is more than capable of slugging it out herself but she fails to back that body assault properly and now it's Nabilla's turn to show some wheels as she steps away into mid-range and loops several hooks from behind the guard to keep the other girl honest. Yasmin races forward one more time before an accidental clash of heads slows things down but then Nabilla whacks the pageant winner on the waist line and drops an uppercut jack right at the bell to spin Yasmin backwards.

Round 3:
More close range slugging early in the third as Nabilla channels pounding the fellow brunette on the breadbasket but she flirts with the groin as well until Yasmin NAILS her with a vicious double cross on the mouth that wobbles the French babe onto her heels. Yasmin seeks immediate success as she jumps at her foe but only bumps her off in jug-to-jug contact and misses with a left hook while Nabilla ducks low and my oh my, she BELTS the pageant girl across the groin which warrants a quick stoppage in action. Ugh! If the Lioness BFF camp wanted a revenge over Jessica Michibata now it's getting really personal as Nabilla keeps arguing her case in French and even Robin Holzken loses her temper. However Yasmin's response following the delay is weak and she suddenly looks really sluggish compared to the Duracell bunny-like Benattia who lands some nasty hooks on the response and outworks the Dutchwoman thru supreme overhands before another belting hook digs deep into her navel right at the death.

Round 4:
Yasmin enforces another phone booth slugfest but she eats a plethora of pesky hooks & half-uppercuts along the way as Nabilla begins to gradually work her over and punishes her along the ropes as the pageant stunner can't live with the uppercut pace at all. And how about that, Benattia belts her foe just inches above the crotch before driving her head into her chin to force another stoppage. Ugh! Wembley Arena doesn't like this at all but Nabilla has none of it and sends more crippling harpoons to shut the Dutch girl in the corner where she forces herself into pounding more ribcage flesh until she hears Yasmin's painful yelps. Ugh! More of that incoming late and you can see clear bruises on Yasmin's flesh even despite the exotic skin complexion. Ugh! That has to hurt, folks!

Round 5:
Yasmin's no longer in shape to dominate the action as another steady body assault leaves her crippled along the ropes with Nabilla working some fine Dutch meat over down there. She's so careful not to land that groin shot again but still bullies a head-butt around the chin which makes Verheijen cry out. Ugh! Nabilla steps back as the ref wants to have another word with her and then she NAILS the weaving rival right on the nose that begins to leak blood on the spot! Oh, come on! Yasmin wobbles forward with a whimper and gets SMOKED with a cruel left hook on the jaw THAT SENDS HER CRASHING ONTO HER KNEES moments later! Horrible news for the Lioness camp but some Dutch advice from Robin Holzken prevents Yasmin from tailing off for keeps. She gets up and enjoys extra delay to patch up the nasal bleeding but Nabilla wants more blood as she rolls into pounding that high guard aside immediately after the break. Ugh! She traps Verheijen into a earmuff survival and the clock becomes the pageant's best friend as she hangs on to hear the bell but looks to be very much rattled now and that revenge mission is all falling apart according to Charlie in the booth.

Round 6:
Nabilla picks up right where she left off and that's pounding Yasmin'e nose into a bloody mess - it's getting messy out there when the initial left/right burst leaves the pageant stunner crippled and scowling her heart out while the French brunette keeps delivering the hits. Yasmin wobbles forward and tries to pile some body assault herself but gets bumped off in another predictable jug-to-jug contact before Benattia cracks another wild hook on the nose and has the ref calling for medical help. Ugh! Just can't stop the blood spillage here, folks! Yasmin's pretty face is getting torn apart and Nabilla shows her no mercy as she whoops the earmuff aside and powers ahead with more brutal action.. Oi, Yasmin! The Dutch brunette tails off into loud spasms and just can't escape the French heat as she weaves around on the feet but still gets picked off and then it happens... a left hook drives into her jaw and sends her trembling to the left where Nabilla catches her with a right hook from the inside to spill more blood from the nostrils... Verheijen cries out something in Dutch but basically gives up the ghost while still up on her feet and gets SMOKED into a pile of bloody heap when Benattia jack-hammers her on the nose one last time... DOWN GOES VERHEIJEN TO RISE NO MORE and it's a wicked KO6 Nabilla Benattia!!!

AFTER: Yasmin has been smoked into semi-consciousness and it's Robin Holzken who goes out there to spoil the French party! Bet she wants that Lioness contract really bad, folks! She's not afraid of knuckle brawling with the obnoxious reality TV star as she shoves Nabilla back and challenges her into a beach boxing fight next month! No more Wembley Arena security blankets, she wants to beat the Frenchwoman at her own game... "Cannes is so the place to be at this stage of the year! Come into my spider web, bytch!", Nabilla rises to the challenge but she's got nothing to be afraid of following this bloody war of attrition that saw her deny Yasmin a proper revenge over her vanquished friend. Charlie Webster begins to wonder how much Dutch integrity is there for Robin who can basically move past her compatriot with one single triumph now and it's really sad to see Yasmin unable to stop her tears as she realized she's got her nose busted wide open tonight. She pounds the canvas in frustration upon coming back to her senses and boy, it's take your ice pack & towel and run for her as Robin & Nabilla keep hurling insults at each other in the center of the ring. The new Dutch revenge mission is on so join BBU TV to witness how it unfolds down on the French Riviera next month!

Final result: Nabilla Benattia def. Yasmin Verheijen KO6.
