(Front Street Japan vs BBU Independent)
(1-3, 1 KO vs 4-5, 4 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Ayako Hamada continues her European tour and this time she brings Nozomi Sasaki to face the exciting blonde upstart Lottie Moss in another attempt to make Front Street Japan relevant again. Sayumi Michishige fell to Mandy Capristo last week and BBU TV's Denise van Outen isn't exactly sold on the idea that Nozomi offers the supreme upside despite Lottie also sitting below .500 career-wise. However this match-up is a perfect undercard opener and Ms Hamada is allowed to be present ringside after her controversial elbow attack in wake of Michishige's defeat. Lottie has big stepsister Kate overseeing her performance and the former supermodel believes the youngster should really sign a proper BBU contract soon since she's got all the tools to attract management in this league.

Nozomi Sasaki wears a green & blue bikini set & black gloves. Long dark brown hair with bangs loose & straight. Lottie Moss wears a black bikini set & pink gloves. Long blonde hair in loose waves. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Lottie comes out flying and tackles the Japanese foe to the body which leaves Nozomi vulnerable upon impact. The brunette was too slow to react and pays a heavy price once the blonde works the harpoon attack on speed dial and drops the older woman into immediate retreat. Nozomi tries to swing some response over the top but bounces off the top of Lottie's forehead and fails to follow through while getting pancaked downstairs... she gets backed onto the ropes and can't embrace the high-tempo assault which drops her into a hectic earmuff cover but Moss keeps working her over regardless and signs off a dominant run with a thumping drive in the navel that bends Sasaki into loud spasms at the bell.

Round 2:
Nozomi tries to beat the English model for pace but can only match Lottie's work rate for a brief spell and gets spun onto her heels when the blonde blasts her up the chimney and tags the chin with a couple of nasty hooks. Nozomi sinks on the heels and struggles even further when she's unable to swing from the back foot while Lottie keeps thumping her up the middle. The blonde model barks in her efforts as she clobbers the subdued Japanese onto the ropes where Sasaki clinches her into a stalemate but remains trapped in a dangerous position as Moss resumes the body assault and leaves visible marks on the ribcage come the final minute. Ugh! Nozomi slumps into more loud spasms as she simply can't live with Lottie's pace here and shakes her head in disgust once the bell halts the action.

Round 3:
Ayako Hamada has lost her temper already but she can only watch as Lottie dissects more of Nozomi's high-guard early in the third. The one-way traffic continues to the point Nozomi can barely lift her gloves but Moss still cuts her up with a steady jabbing rush that destroys the Japanese defense and leaves the brunette's head snapping back & forth upon impact. Nozomi becomes glued to the spot and wobbles forward into a chin shot double before Lottie loops another cross on the nose and stuns the subdued Asian outright. Nozomi tries to jump back into mid-distance but just can't tweak ast enough and Moss DRILLS her nose with another brutal flick. Uh-oh! There's blood leaking from Sasaki's nose now and she trembles into loud spasms when Lottie connects with more crisp shots on target. She follows through with a big right hand and DROPS NOZOMI onto her knees which was long overdue by this stage! Nozomi seems more bothered by the nasal wound and she's up at seven but the blonde races into another slugging attack that leaves the Asian completely overwhelmed and battered onto the turnbuckle. Bell saves Sasaki here but coach Hamada is fuming at her fighter during the interval before she throws in the towel! Nozomi is left sitting on her stool and maybe she's picked up a serious injury here or coach Hamada simply has had enough of this one-sided beatdown? TKO3 Lottie Moss!!!

AFTER: Lottie fails to register the fact her opponent hasn't answered the bell before she turns back to her stepsister Kate to finally celebrate this hard-punching triumph! Don't call it a glorified sparring session even though Nozomi looked awfully vulnerable after a long flight from Japan. "They're looking for money alright but Lottie beat her up in style!", Kate takes over the interview duties and vows to call all the BBU managers to make something happen! "Even Katie Price can't be that stupid to overlook my girl! These Asians are tuff but Lottie can hold her frickin' own! (....) Who says she can't throw a power punch? She just broke this dumb bimbo's nose! That is some power here!"

BBU TV's Denise van Outen isn't so quick to sing the Moss praise and believes this fight was a desperate mismatch on the Front Street Japan's side and Ayako Hamada needs to reconsider her ideas. Maybe rolling back the tape with Mikie Hara or Sayuki Matsumoto is actually the best option possible? Or just admit Maria Ozawa remains on top of these local starlets like Michishige and Sasaki?

Official Result: Lottie Moss def. Nozomi Sasaki TKO3.
