(Beever's Babes vs Free Agent)

Intro:
The opening bout of tonight and the Contender Six tournament this year sees two youngsters do battle, Maya Jama and Lottie Moss are hoping to kick off 2020 on the front foot.

Maya is 25 years old; she stands 5'7, holding an undefeated record of 2 wins, both coming by way of knockout, with zero defeats.

Lottie is 22 years old; she stands 5'5 ½, holding a record of 3 wins, all coming by way of knockout, with only 1 defeat.

While neither is coming into this tournament as the outright favourite, both have been tipped as dark horses to surprise the more experienced fighters, with this seen as a 50/50 fight to kick off the round robin.

In the weeks building up to the tournament, the fighters both had videos online showing their workouts, Maya working hard with her coach Sharon Davis in the Beever's stable gym.

Her video showed her knocking down Alesha Dixon in sparring, after finishing up the camera comes into the ring, where Maya says to it "I came into the BBU to take names and titles, I'm going to knock out anyone who dares tries to stand up to me, just ask Alesha here how well that goes for people"

As Alesha tries to get up from the knockdown, Maya knees her in her side to send her down, then places her boot into the side of her face, rubbing it in to make her point clear.

In the private London gym Lottie is working out of, she is working a punch bag before the speed bag, showing off her impressive hand speed for the camera.

When she is done she holds her gloves in her right hand, confidently smirking as she says "first I am going to make Maya Jama cry on her back knowing she should never have stepped into the ring with me"

She walks closer to the camera before adding "for the reason of the people in this tournament, I am going to use you all as a stepping stone to what I deserve, that contender title will look good around my toned waist"

Fight night; out comes Maya first with Sharon beside her, she looks relaxed as she jogs down the aisle, wearing a black sports bra with a red B.B badge on her left bra cup, black trunks with red trim, matching shoes, red gloves and her hair is tied into a ponytail.

Stepping inside the squared circle, the TV presenter waves to the crowd as she heads over to her corner, where she uses Sharon's hands as punch pads to warm up.

Now Lottie is on her way down the aisle with her coach following behind her, Lottie is wearing a white sports bra, white trunks with "Moss" in gold letters on the waistband, white shoes, white gloves with gold thumbs, her hair is also in a ponytail.

She also doesn't look to bothered by the occasion; heading inside the ring, Lottie bows to each side of the ring before heading to her corner, where she stretches to limber up.

The fighters are waved to the center of the ring, where they stand staring eye to eye, the slight height advantage on show as Maya looks down upon Lottie with contempt on her face.

They are told to touch gloves, the thud when they do so shows they won't be friends anytime soon, instead jogging back to their corners quickly, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of bantamweight action.

Round 1:
Both come out trading single punches to start, feeling the other out as they are up on their toes, eyes locked behind their gloves as you can see the cogs in their minds working.

Stepping under a straight to land two body shots, Lottie dancing back out the way, taking a left across the top of her head as Maya shows her own quick hands.

They are landing nice crisp shots as they begin to open up more, Lottie though is getting inside the reach of Maya more then the Beever's corner would like to see.

At the halfway point; Lottie slips a jab, landing two rights to the ribs of her opponent to make her grunt out, then an overhand left just about misses the chin of Jama.

It allows Moss to push back Maya to the outside of the ring, Maya firing out more jabs to try to keep the smaller fighter back, drilling some good shots through the mitts of the blonde to her face.

But Lottie is still finding a way in closer, her flexibility on show as she dodges before dishing out body shots, making Maya grunt out up till the bell rings.

Lottie looking happier of the two as they return to their corners, Maya getting told to fight like the bigger woman, she is letting Lottie past her reach way too easily.

Round 2:
Dancing back out her corner up on her toes, Lottie starts off the quicker in the opening minute, her focus is clearly on wearing out the fit Maya with hard body shots, enjoying when she can throw in hooks.

When she tries to step in the pocket with Maya, this time Lottie takes an uppercut that makes her step back, a left/right straight combo into the face of Moss to drive her back.

Now Maya has the center of the ring, she is keeping Lottie stuck near the ropes, outworking the younger woman as they trade.

A left hook/uppercut combo sends Lottie back into the ropes, where Maya looms over her with hooks swinging around the guard of the model to knock her head around.

Clinching up with Jama to stop her momentum, Lottie might now be realising she is in for a tough test after taking the first round, the referee splitting them up.

While Lottie is back on her bicycle, Maya isn't letting her get far away from her, forcing several heated exchanges that gets the crowd roaring them both on.

At the bell Maya gets a nod from Sharon, telling her that was a much better round for them, Lottie on the other hand takes a breath as she tries not to let losing the round worry her.

Round 3:
This time Maya matches pace with Lottie, not letting the blonde take the lead in the opening thirty seconds, both landing crisp punches through the others mitts to faces and abs.

Ducking under a right cross; Lottie counters with a left to the ribs, landing an overhand right to the jaw of Maya to knock her backwards, with Lottie keeping her head down as she chisels away at the abs of the brunette.

Pushing back Lottie with her left, Maya moves away from the ropes with a scowl on her face, she catches an overly keen Lottie to the face with a jab/straight, sending sweat and blonde hair flying.

A left cross catches Lottie on the side of her head, Maya landing a further two punches through the guard of Moss to knock her back to the outside of the ring.

Again Lottie doesn't look as comfortable this close to the ropes, finding herself getting smacked across her cheeks by the harder punching Maya.

When the round ends Maya turns back to her corner with a slight smile, Sharon wiping the sweat off her brow as she tells Maya "gotta keep pressuring her, Lottie's guard isn't good enough to block your punches"

Round 4:
Lottie is looking to be a harder target to hit as they resume, the referee warning her to lift her head up when she is dipping blow the waistline of Maya's trunks.

While Lottie isn't happy at the warning, she is landing more combinations when she can get inside, head nearly headbutting the chin of the taller fighter.

Maya keeps needing to nudge back Lottie, clipping the model around the top of her head, boxing more off the back foot as as she looks to keep Moss on the outside.

She isn't having as easy a time as before, with Lottie making Maya groan out with more short sharp body shots, driving back Maya into a corner.

A double jab smacks Lottie on her nose as Maya looks to fight her way out the corner, Lottie needing to dodge shots before she can land her own punches to the face of Jama.

The round comes to a close with Lottie pumping her right fist into the air, getting a pat on her back by her coach, even as her cheeks are looking marked up.

Meanwhile Maya tells Sharon "I know" before she gets an earful from her coach, they discuss what Maya needs to change as her body has an ice pack on.

Round 5:
Coming out their corners staring hard behind their gloves, Maya steps back when Lottie tries to dart in closer, AN UPPERCUT SMACKS LOTTIE ON HER CHIN TO ROCK HER BACK, A LEFT HOOK ON LOTTIE'S CHIN SENDS HER TO HER BACK!

Maya raises her fists into the air with a grin, 1...2...3...4... Lottie has her eyes shut as she lays spread eagle on the canvas, 5...6...7.. Lottie's head turns to the right as her gumshield comes out, 8...9...10 that's all she wrote for Lottie tonight!

Winner Maya Jama KO Round 5

After:
A great knockout to kick off this years Contender tournament, Maya getting a big win on what she hopes will be the first win on her way to the title.

But she has someone on her mind; marching over to Lottie, nudging the referee away as she tosses her gloves off, she leans down over Lottie and can be heard saying "how you got into this tournament I have no clue, but oh well guess you are giving me my first trophy in this tournament" she then pulls at the trunks of Lottie.

Once she tugs them off, Lottie stirs awake wondering what is happening, the crowd finding out that Lottie has a white thong on under her trunks, Maya stands with the trunks in one hand as her right boot is pressed on the boobs of Moss.

When she is satisfied she has proven her dominance tonight, Maya returns back to her corner, handing the trunks off to her cut man she tells them "you are just holding for me, they are going into my trophy cabinet"

Lottie has to be helped back to her corner, her head is down as embarrassment fills her, instead of sitting on her stool, Lottie tosses her gloves off and steps out the ring.

Looking to the heavens, Lottie certainly hoped her first fight in this tournament was going to be better then this, this is one of the worst outcomes she could have possibly had.

Inside the ring Maya gets her right hand raised by the referee, she grins as the crowd cheer her, Sharon gives her a thumbs up when she returns to her corner.

Leaving the ring together, Sharon is already talking about her second fight in the tournament, Lacey Turner is next for Maya, maybe Lacey will be worried seeing how well Maya did tonight.

While Lottie will be facing Alice Eve, a hard test to have after a defeat, defence will need to be a big focus for training for her over the next month.
