Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Ellie Goulding hasn't enjoyed much success against Lioness Club opposition going down to Nicola Roberts, Dorota Rabczewska AND Charlotte Church before but she is determined to finally get on the board at the expense of Kimberley Walsh tonight. She dropped a tough one to Olympia Valance last month so her imminient bantamweight challenge has stalled but Walsh remains a popular target within the division and the Lionesses never back away from a proper opportunity.

Over to Kimba: "Yeah, so Ellie wanted to be a champion? Tough luck. She's an overrated blonde bimbo and I don't care about her training vids she posts all over the web. She's reached her potential and should be removed from any elite conversation! I'm gonna make sure everyone realizes that once I knock her lights out tonight!"

Ellie Goulding wears a black sports bra with white trim, matching hotpants & red gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a custom ponytail. Kimberley Walsh wears a red bikini top, white hotpants & yellow gloves. Long light brown hair wrapped in a loose bun at the back of her head. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Ellie works her left jab like it's a sparring session and taunts Kimberley to go after her but the veteran Girls Aloud member refuses to bite until she gets blasted by a vicious hook on the chin and wobbles into a trigger-happy series from the visibly upset blonde: "You had your chance slut! Now take this!". Uh-oh! Ellie wastes no time in pouncing on the shockingly hapless opponent and rips right through her high guard to smack the brunette's head back & forth on the spot. Kimberley tries to swing back at the southpaw blonde but just can't find her range and sinks on the heels instead. Ellie shouts repeatedly as she picks the immobile brunette off until she backs her into the ropes wholesale and simply keeps pounding along to drop Walsh into danger zone. Ugh! Kimberley finds no better response than a very predictable clinch but Goulding still plugs her in the gut and suddenly the older singer begins to gurgle in pain as the blonde lifts her rack and powers ahead with more brutal shots. She tags Kimberley on the chin and half-spins her to the side before a nasty left hook finds the nose and SENDS WALSH CRASHING DOWN TO HER SIDE!! Ellie yells out in delight but her taunting dance in the center of the ring is cut short by the bell as Kimba is rescued at the last moment.

Round 2:
Even Lioness coach Mel B. can't do anything about Kimberley's lack of mobility while Goulding sets up another punishing drive. She beats the Bradford woman in a heads-up jabbing dispute and smokes her with a cruel hook on the chin before tackling the exposed midsection. Kimba bends forward and cashes her chin into the blonde's shoulder but Ellie wrecks havoc in her gut and bullies her onto the ropes where she lifts more jug to dump the brunette into loud spasms. Uh-oh! Ellie lands another brutal hook on the nose that makes Walsh gurgle in pain however she can't lift her gloves fast enough to avoid a swift repeat as Ellie barges into the swollen lips and knocks Kimberley around into stupor. Ugh! Another plugging shot in the solar plexus caves the embattled brunette right in before Goulding finds one last uppercut on the chin which SENDS KIMBERLEY SLIDING ONTO HER KNEES in jack-knife fashion. There's not much left in the banged up Bradford woman here and she slumps face-down at the blonde's feet which prompts a quick reaction from the referee who doesn't even bother with the count! KO2 Ellie Goulding!!!

AFTER: "That's right, Mel! Your girls can't beat me FOUR times in a row!", Ellie tries to taunt the Lioness coach but Melanie shrugs her shoulders and claims: "It was worth a try anyway!". Ellie might have suffered a cracked nose at the hands of Charlotte Church but she's left that inury in the rear-view mirror as she goads the completely wrecked Kimba for a while before the ref shoves her back. Some fans aren't exactly thrilled over Ellie's behaviour as she's beaten a genuine punchbag which leaves more questions about the Lioness match-making here. "Kimberley should just flat out retire! She's getting destroyed out there and can't make it past the third round anymore", that's a comment straight from BBU TV's Anna Woolhouse who almost feels sorry for the Girls Aloud veteran: "Kimba had a good run but she's like the most vulnerable part of the team. Even Nadine Coyle probably has more left in the tank. Kate Garraway & Mr. V should do something about this like right NOW!"

Final result: Ellie Goulding def. Kimberley Walsh KO2.
