(Lioness Club vs Black Eagle Boxing)
(5-15, 5 KO vs 8-4, 8 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago


BEFORE: Some experts believe Sophie Howard should stick to JMDD rules but she wants to earn revenge over German opposition after getting knocked out by Lorena Rae last year. Enter Toni Garrn - another towering model who looks to snap her own losing streak that seemingly removed her from welterweight title contention for the time being.

Both girls are well suited for beach boxing competition and promise to deliver a slam dunk showdown. The Dubai audience gives Sophie a bigger cheer during the introductions which suggests English tourists might be the dominant presence around the area! Sophie winks a couple of times to coach Mel B. while Toni keeps it strictly business while talking to Gina Wild seconds before the opening bell.

Sophie Howard wears a black bikini set & red gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a loose bun at the back of her head. Toni Garrn wears a red & blue themed bandeau bikini set & golden gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a curled ponytail. Both women are barefoot. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the welterweight division.

Round 1:
Toni uses her supreme reach to land the early punches while Sophie tries to match her intensity but struggles to work around the blonde's efforts and gets clobbered onto the ropes as the early dust gets kicked up in the process. Toni drives her mitts into Sophie's face and snaps her head back before a looping hook on the ear spins the Merseyside model to the side. Howard digs deep in the loose surface but keeps soaking up more German leather as Garrn maintains the high-octane slugging until she makes her opponent gurgle in pain. Ugh! Toni backs off to admire her job and then rips a left hook on the jaw that bellows the brunette on top of the ropes. Another right hook nails Sophie on the temple and leaves her slumped on the turnbuckle at the bell.

Round 2:
Sophie tries to be aggressive with her aerial swings but Toni pinballs her mitts around her face to glue her into a hole before blowing a right hook into the exposed solar plexus. Ugh! Howard wobbles forward with a whimper and eats a vicious uppercut on the jaw that DROPS HER ONTO HER KNEES moments later. Toni struts back to coach Gina Wild while Sophie makes a slow recovery to beat the count at eight. She dusts herself off the Dubai sand but gets into slugging trouble quickly enough as Garrn roars into another head-hunting attack. Sophie bails out onto the ropes but gets trapped there anyway as the German model clobbers her up the middle to destroy the high-guard. Sophie tries to clinch the blonde but gets busted in the bumpers and fails to embrace another vicious shot on the solar plexus that FOLDS HER ONTO HER KNEES again! Uh-oh!! Toni shouts back at the Lioness Club corner and poor Sophie bends her head against the sand allowing the ref to count her out moments later! KO2 Toni Garrn!!!

AFTER: Toni poses with hands on her hips as she enjoys the crowd's reaction but still tells Gina Wild she'd hoped for a more demanding test tonight. She finished Sophie off faster than Lorena Rae did but it's not gonna turn the contenders' heads around according to the Black Eagles head coach who promises to get on the phone quick to book another fight. However any reason to enjoy the Dubai sands is acceptable even if Toni needs more action to regain her true elite status. BBU TV's Georgie Thompson argues that Lorena Rae might actually be the best Eagles welterweight right now which earns her a long stare from the six foot blonde who clearly disagrees with the opinion.

Official Result: Toni Garrn def. Sophie Howard KO2.
