Intro:
We kick off tonights action here in Gotham Town bar with Leigh-Anne Pinnock looking for a little revenge for her band mate Perrie Edwards, she takes on Marnie Simpson in a little grudge match.

Heading into the fight, Leigh-Anne won her last fight back in 2016 beating Louisa Allen, she lost her last fight to Emily Atack earlier this year, Marnie meanwhile defeated Perrie two months ago on Paradise Island to set up this fight.

Before the fight Anna Woolhouse in a white bikini heads into each fighters dressing room, she finds Leigh-Anne is with her band mates from Little Mix and her coach Kelly Rowland, Leigh-Anne is relaxing on the sofa with Jade Thirlwall beside her.

"Hey Anna, I am so looking forwards to this, getting a chance to knock out one of those fakes on Geordie Shore is just fun for me" says Leigh-Anne with a giggle as the others in the band are drinking wine.

"Yeah I am sure the real Marnie is under all that plastic and make up she wears, even her career is just about pretending to be something she is" says Jade as her and Leigh-Anne are grinning as they talk together, almost forgetting Anna is there.

Kelly heads over to Anna to tell her "as you see Marnie is not giving us anything to worry about, hell we might use her to drink shots from her belly button because last you'll see of her is being dragged out the ring by us flat on her back" Anna's eyes go wide at that threat as she leaves the ring.

Anna escapes the Frankie Foxes room to go to see Marnie in her room with her fellow Geordie Shore alumni Holly Hagan, they are both looking relaxed as they talk about their fights, Holly nodding to Marnie that Anna wants a word with her.

"Oh, hey Anna, looks like I have to knock all of Little Mix out before I get some respect, already Perrie has tasted my fists, now that posh bytch Leigh-Anne gets the arse kicking for making her mouth going after I beat poor Perrie" says Marnie with a cocky smirk.

Holly jumps in "God those lot are f***ing annoying, I mean look at that bloody TV show they have about them, anything to keep themselves around, lucky I know Marnie is going to stamp on them so I don't have to hear from them for awhile around here" Marnie fist bumping Holly with smiles as neither looks worried about their fights.

Fighting time, Leigh-Anne heads out first with Kelly beside her, the Little Mix girls are now at ringside whooping along with the crowd, Pinnock blowing kisses to them before she heads into the ring.

Standing at the ring center wearing a navy blue bikini with matching gloves, her hair is tied back into a braid as she bangs her gloves together with a grin, when she gets into her corner her demeanor changes to be more serious.

As Marnie comes out with her friends Chantelle Connelly, Chloe Ferry and her coach, Chantelle and Chloe acting as her back up as they point at the Little Mix crew, almost daring them to try something as they walk past the side of the ring the band members are at.

Climbing through the ropes, Marnie is wearing a turquoise bikini with matching gloves, her hair is also braided as she paces in her corner like Leigh-Anne is doing in hers, looking for two felines in the wild eyeing each up for a confrontation.

The referee makes sure to stay between them when they are brought to the ring center, there's an tense stare between the fighters as certainly not a lot of love here between them.

They do touch gloves with each other, though it's a loud crack of leather before they return back to their corners, eyeing each other up with fists raised, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of flyweight action.

Round 1:
At the bell both fighters come out circling on their toes, snapping jabs into each others cheeks as their eyes are locked in a steely gaze, their supporters in full voice at ringside.

Landing a double jab to the mouth of Pinnock, Marnie steps forwards with a right cross that turns the head of her opponent, allowing her to begin pushing her around the outside of the ring as Leigh-Anne's guard isn't the greatest by any stretch.

The Little Mix singer does catch Marnie with a left cross when her back nears the ropes, starting to fight back as Marnie getting a little over confident left herself open.

Neither backs off as they let their hands go in close, heads rubbing as barks and groans are heard from them, feet planted more then they usual do to start showing they want to hurt each other badly.

Using her left to push back Pinnock, Marnie looks the more comfortable in a brawl like setting, pushing back her opponent to open her up for hooks and uppercuts, snapping back the head of Leigh-Anne.

At the bell Kelly doesn't look too impressed by her fighter, more because she hasn't been able to rock Marnie in these exchanges then actually about her not using her boxing skills.

Round 2:
Stabbing her jab out more as she moves side to side, Leigh-Anne is having more success now as she abandons the straight on attacks, instead letting Marnie come at her before landing some nice counters.

Marnie maybe too focused on crushing Leigh-Anne with maximum violence, isn't boxing her way in closer, instead she is giving herself a headache by letting Leigh-Anne hit her more cleanly now.

Problem for Pinnock is she hasn't the hardest of punches, while she is marking up Simpson's face, it isn't deterring the Geordie from keep stepping after her, leading to Marnie finally closing the gap to pound in two cross punches to the cheeks of the singer.

Finding herself back boxing near the ropes, Leigh-Anne is opening up again trying to ward off Marnie, she is more fanatic with her punches, leading to her missing with a straight as Marnie slips it before banging in an overhand right, followed by a left hook to the cheek of her rival.

Soon the round ends with Leigh-Anne probably doing enough to hold on to win the round, but Kelly isn't looking pleased by her so far, Marnie still standing in her corner as she wants at Leigh-Anne some more.

Round 3:
Sticking to boxing around the ring hoping to catch Marnie flush, Leigh-Anne is looking good up on her toes when she can keep the range where she wants it, boxing nicely on the outside with more combos landing flush.

But Marnie parries a straight to move in closer, pounding in three hooks to the body as she tries to take some spring from the step of Leigh-Anne, driving her back into the ropes where she gets clinched up by the Frankie Foxes fighter.

Once apart Leigh-Anne lands a crisp double jab to the forehead of Marnie, moving again more freely till she gets caught by a perfectly timed left hook across her face, AN UPPERCUT LANDS FLUSH TO HER CHIN TO SEND HER TO HER BACK!

Pointing at the Little Mix members at ringside, Marnie warns them "I'll get you f***ing all" the referee needing to push her to the neutral corner as she jaw jacks with the band, 1...2...3...4.. While Leigh-Anne is slowly turning to all fours, shaking her head, 5...6...7... Using the ropes to get up, 8... Leigh-Anne beats the count with a nod that she can keep going to the referee.

When they resume Leigh-Anne is boxing defensively, hanging onto Marnie to slow her assault as the Geordie Shore star is after the finish, there's a mouse forming under Pinnock's right eye as she gets hit by some meaty left hooks.

The round ends with Leigh-Anne putting her head down, a little shaky as she returns to her corner, Kelly needing to work on getting her ready for the next round, Marnie licks her lips in her corner waiting for the bell.

Round 4:
Charging out as expected, as much as Leigh-Anne is trying to keep on her bike, it looks like she has a flat tire as she can't get out the way of Marnie, who is ripping in big hooks to knock around the head of the older fighter.

Backed onto the ropes, Leigh-Anne tries to cover up but an uppercut pierces her guard, referee looks close to jumping in, AS A LEFT/RIGHT HOOK COMBO SENDS PINNOCK DOWN TO THE CANVAS!

"She's f***ing done!" Yells Marnie as she points at Leigh-Anne to her band mates, the referee kneels down to check on Leigh-Anne, seeming to agree with Marnie's assessment as they signal for the bell, PINNOCK IS OUT COLD!

Winner Marnie Simpson KO Round 4

After:
That's two for two for the former title contender over Little Mix members, she flexes her arms as she stares right at the rest of the band, who are staring angrily back at her as the powder keg looks ready to go off.

Kelly along with Perrie, Jade and Jesy get into the ring to check on Leigh-Anne, helping to turn her over safely so she can be revived, Marnie is smirking as she sees how worried they are for their friend.

In the Geordie Shore camp, Chloe and Chantelle are hugging Marnie, her coach isn't too impressed with her defensive work tonight, even as she tells them "I could walk through her punches all night" something they don't agree with.

As soon as Marnie heads to the ring center to get her hand raised, it seems Jade Thirlwall wants to give Marnie a piece of her mind, both South Shields lasses are nose to nose spitting insults before Jade shoves Marnie at the mention of her friends going down so easily.

Both women are held apart as the crowd wants to see them fight now, Marnie with arms open wide tells Jade "anywhere and anytime you bytch, I'll have you!" With Jade letting Marnie know she'll hear from her before she knows it.

The Frankie Foxes retreat now that Leigh-Anne is back to the land of reality, helped from the ring to the back by Jesy and Perrie, Leigh-Anne looks down at the canvas disillusioned she couldn't beat Marnie.

In the ring Marnie finally gets her hand raised by the referee, though she doesn't look much in the mood for celebration, talking to her friends about finally getting her chance at Jade to settle whose the Queen of the Shields area before the gang leaves together, looking serious as they talk about that fight.
