Intro:
We kick off tonights action with two undefeated welterweights seeking to take the spotlight off their opponent, Alexina Graham and Raffaella Modugno both want a shot at the BBU title, who will move closer to that goal?

This all came about after Alexina defeated Sasha Luss earlier this month, Raffaella had been ringside for the fight, with both coming to blows in the ring after the bout as they came face to face, then after some trash talk the contract was signed for this fight.

For Raffaella she comes into this fight after a strong win over Elena Santarelli, knocking out her nation rival to maybe prove she is the best in Italy, both seem ready for this fight judging by their training videos.

Before the bout took place, both were interviewed in their locker rooms before they got ready for the fight, BBU TV reporter Anna Woolhouse asked Alexina for her thoughts as the Nottingham native sat on the bench wearing a black hoodie and sweatpants to go with white trainers.

Alexina looked serious as she tells Anna "this is the biggest night of my boxing career, fighting Sasha was massive for me, I respect her and as you saw, even after all the taunts we exchanged, at the end of the night we shook hands, I don't see myself doing that with Raffaella".

When asked why, Alexina replies quickly " because she is a bytch, you saw how arrogant she was when we faced off, I'd had my agent telling me that she might be ringside to watch me and Sasha, the way she strolled up to me wasn't just someone wanting to sell a fight, she was looking down on me as if I'm a nobody, I had just went to war with a great fighter", Alexina takes a breath as she clenches her fists.

"So tonight she gets the fight of her life, I know back in Italy she has become this fearsome figure that her fans think is going to be the champ, I can't wait to knock that smirk off her face as I don't fear her one bit, when she steps into the ring tonight she will know she has been in a war" Alexina finishes saying, Anna wishing her good luck as they hug.

In the Modugno locker room Raffaella looks more dressed for a night out as she wears a light blue dress and heels, leaning back as she tells Anna "I have waited three weeks for this, to finally have a go at that redheaded scarecrow that thinks she is tough", Anna nodding along even if she maybe disagrees with Raffaella's assessment of Graham.

"This is just a bit of fun for me before I batter Manuela Aruci or maybe I ignore her and go for the title, I have been waiting too long for a real fighter to step up to me, I am the most dominant force coming through this division" adds Raffaella as she looks supremely confident judging by her smirk.

When asked if she think Alexina can give her that fight she wants, Raffaella waves her right hand dismissively before answering "Alexina isn't strong enough, when I slapped her I saw her want to run, maybe I should thank the security for holding me off her that night as I might have scared her off fighting me, this won't be a boxing match, this is going to be a fight honey, she isn't woman enough to handle it" Raffaella finishes off as Anna thanks her for her time.

Fight night, out comes Alexina with her coach beside her to loud cheers, she smiles as she heads to the ring looking relaxed now, wearing a violet bikini with matching gloves, her hair tied into a ponytail as she high fives some people in the front row.

Jogging up the ring steps before climbing through the ropes, Alexina does her customary bow to each side of the ring, then jogs to her corner as she bounces on her toes shadow boxing to keep warmed up.

Now out comes Raffaella as she has her coach beside her, both smiling as she struts to the ring with an Italian contingent in the crowd chanting her name, she is wearing a navy blue bikini with white gloves, her hair tied into a ponytail too as both women show off their impressive bodies tonight.

Stepping into the ring with a more menacing look now, once in her corner she taps her cheeks each once before slamming her gloves together, eyes firmly on her opponent as she bounces on her toes.

Brought to the middle by the referee, the old classic "if looks could kill" saying fits perfectly here, these two simply hate each others guts, two women who have found no one strong enough to beat them, only one can be right tonight as more then just pride is on the line with their unbeaten records too.

When told to touch gloves they simply return to their corners without doing so, coaches giving last minute advice as the fighters stare across the ring, referee then signals for the bell to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.

Round 1:
At the bell Raffaella looks to push the pace from the off, Alexina smartly keeping on the move as she throws her jab, sticking it into the beautiful face of the Italian, who is needing to use her own jab as she hunts down Graham.

Doubling up her jab into the cheeks of Alexina, Raffaella landing mostly clipping shots as she finds that her opponent isn't going to stay still for her, forcing her to try to cut off the ring.

After the opening minute Raffaella finally tags Alexina with a good right cross, knocking back the younger woman to the ropes, forcing the issue now as punches slam into beautiful faces, knocking back heads but it's the redhead getting the worse of it.

Till she can give Raffaella a quick shove to get off the ropes, drilling in a one-two to the face of Modugno, leaning out the way of a right cross before landing another straight into the face of the older woman.

When the bell rings Raffaella tells Alexina "fight me coward!" With an irate look, Alexina simply winks at her before jogging back to her corner, the coach of Alexina happy with her showcase of skills in the opener, Raffaella meanwhile being told to keep calm as she seems overly emotional.

Round 2:
Moving more on her own toes as she looks to cut the ring off more, Raffaella is starting to match Alexina's jab more evenly, with similar reached they are marking up cheeks, Raffaella is still a little trigger happy as she throws in hooks that find air.

After the opening minute it looks like Graham has Modugno wired up as she is keeping on the move landing beautiful two to three punch combos, she's gets tricked by a feint left by Raffaella, a right slams into her mouth after she tries to move to the right.

Pressing her advantage; Raffaella drives back Alexina onto the ropes, landing to the body and just missing with a big uppercut as Alexina gets her guard in place to block in time, the English lass holding onto Raffaella to get the referee involved, getting off the ropes back into space.

On comes Raffaella though, keeping the pressure on Alexina, landing good punches now through the mitts of Alexina to give her a little redness around her left eye to give her something to think about.

Final moments of the round sees Raffaella miss with a lunging right as she seems to be flowing with confidence, a double jab then straight gets landed into her face just before the bell rings, a much better round for Raffaella as she walks back to her corner with less tension visible in her shoulders.

Round 3:
Drilling more punches into faces, Raffaella continuing to be the huntress coming on the front foot, the crowd cheering the exchanges between them as Raffaella seems heavier handed, Alexina landing more punches in volume.

Coming to the end of the opening minute, Alexina gets bumped back by a left forearm to her chest, A RIGHT HOOK LANDS ON HER JAW TO SEND ALEXINA STUMBLING DOWN TO HER RIGHT SIDE!

There's a stunned silence around the arena till the Italian fans are cheering as they are shocked to see Alexina down this early, 1...2...3... Alexina pushes herself up to her backside shaking her head to clear it, 4...5...6.. Pushing up to a knee as she watches the count, 7...8.. Getting up with a nod to the referee, her coach breathing a sigh of relief.

Back they go with Raffaella looking to end this, throwing some bombs that Alexina is able to dodge, showing she still has her legs under her with just under half the round to go, drilling punches clean through the wide open guard of the older woman.

Who late in the round manages to get Alexina onto the ropes, digging in punches into the tummy of Graham, the redhead covering up as she defends herself up till the bell rings, Raffaella stuttering her stuff as she heads to her corner, Alexina shaking her head as she looks at the canvas.

Round 4:
Raffaella is looking to keep on top of Alexina, stepping after her with her jab then hooks that don't land flush, Alexina doing a good job of moving her upper body to dodge then counter as she keeps on her toes.

Landing a jab to the chest of Alexina, Raffaella is able to press back the English fighter to the ropes, digging to the body as they grind heads, Raffaella lands a good uppercut that makes Alexina clinch up, they wrestle a little before the referee can break them up.

Trying to get at Alexina right away, Raffaella gets caught with a one-two then misses with her own left cross as Alexina leans out the way to come back with a straight into the top of Modugno's head to back her off a step.

Looking at Alexina with an expression that says "what the hell am I to do to trap you?", struggling for an answer as she keeps getting plugged to the face by the growing in confidence Graham.

When the bell rings to end the round, Alexina pumps her right fist into the air to a cheer from her fans, Raffaella looking to the heavens shaking her own head, Modugno is told by her coach to keep relaxed, she has the punch to end this at any point.

Round 5:
Trading around the ring, Raffaella is landing some good hits but is getting caught back with several hits into her nose, Raffaella just missing with her power punches as she is just not timing them right.

Slipping a straight; Alexina lands a counter uppercut to the solar plexus, Raffaella is heard gasping as that hurt her! Raffaella taking the first real back step since the fight begun, ALEXINA FEINTING BEFORE LANDING A RIGHT SQUARE INTO THE LIVER THAT SENDS RAFFAELLA TO HER KNEES!

The Graham fans roar as Modugno's are pleading for her to get up, 1...2...3.. Raffaella is groaning as she holds her stomach, 4...5...6.. Trying to get up, Raffaella cries out as she goes back to all fours, 7...8...9...10 that's it! Raffaella loses tonight!

Winner Alexina Graham KO Round 5

After:
A heck of a comeback for Alexina, her speed tonight proved too much for Raffaella as the winner turns to her fans with her arms in the air, a big beaming smile as she surely moves a step closer to a title shot.

Heading back to her corner, Alexina gets a hug from her coach as she is told "that's how you prove you are the future", thanking her coach for their support as they chat about how they see the future going.

On the other hand you have Raffaella needing to be helped to her stool, an ice pack placed onto her body as she looks furious, that knockdown gave her a great chance to win this but she is the one in pain from more then just the liver shot, her undefeated run is done.

Normally Alexina checks on her opponent, when her eyes meet Raffaella's, it's clear the animosity hasn't died down between them as they lock eyes in an intense stare, Alexina making sure her rival knows who won by raising her right arm in the air.

Maybe not the smartest thing to do, Raffaella is up holding the ice pack to her body wanting another piece of Alexina, both women held apart by coaches as Raffaella yells "next time I'll force you to fight me like a real woman you coward!" Snarling at the redhead.

Who fires back "I am a real boxer you dumb bytch" pointing at Raffaella as she speaks, with both women being led to their corners as they continue to trade insults, neither clearly done with the other woman.

But for now Raffaella is helped out the ring as her coach tells her she has to save herself for another day, ironically this loss might bring Manuela Aruci out of hiding as Raffaella sees it in America to fight.

In the ring Alexina poses for the cameras with her coach telling the world "this is the best in this ring!", Alexina grinning as she looks at her coach, replying "I hope I can live up to that hype" winking at them.

They soon leave the ring with Alexina making a big statement this month, going Sasha Luss and Raffaella Modugno back to back is a hell of a way to announce you should be seen as elite, whether she can go all the way is still to be seen.
