Sayaka Ando vs Kelly Reilly
(Front Street Japan vs BBU Independent)
(3-2, 3 KO vs 2-9, 2 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Sayaka Ando once forced a full ten round showdown on Olivia Wilde and that has simply scared all the BBU competition away however Kelly Reilly has struck gold on the other side of the Atlantic which proves lousy BBU record means nothing when it comes to real first page attention. The raunchy redhead shares time with Kevin Costner on "Yellowstone" lately but the new season kicks in June so the Surrey woman has just enough time to try her chances at the International Jewels tonight: "I bet Nikki Sanderson thought she's getting the Main Event but let's get real, I'm the true star of the show! It's about time I scored another victory since I just can't look at those wimps who beat me recently! Sayaka had one great fights but that was ages ago so she's rusty like a 1959 Cadillac these days! I'm gonna smoke her in like two rounds, folks!" (giggles).

Sayaka Ando wears a red bikini set & black gloves. Long black hair straight. Kelly Reilly wears a brown bikini set with red trim & white gloves. Long red hair with bangs tied in a curled ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Kelly tries to channel some of that Yellowstone wrath and finds the jabbing lane to open up Sayaka's high guard but she lacks that killer punch to really send the Asian babe into trouble and gets countered over the top as Sayaka uses the supreme footwork to rally around the redhead's spirited attack. Kelly lands a single-punch assault but struggles to mount a proper series while Sayaka bails out into mid-distance where she makes the tourist look rather desperate. Kelly gets vocal in her jabbing pursuit but only makes Ando giggle when a left-right combo misses the target by a mile and allows the local starlet to launch a late jabbing flurry that tags the older woman on the jaw. Ugh! Kelly is really upset at the bell but the crowd enjoys this one regardless!

Rounds 2 & 3:
Sayaka's waiting game frustrates Kelly even more and BBU TV's Kate Abdo begins to wonder just how much is the Japanese babe finding her stride after such a lenghty spell away from the ring? There's nothing that would require her to destroy Reilly before time and the tourist wastes more chances by bouncing off the brunette's high guard instead of applying some proper anger. The back & forth continues into the third round where Kelly finally becomes more committed but keeps landing single punches and gets clocked with a solid uppercut drive down the stretch. Sayaka takes over the final minute and backs the redhead into the corner where she pummels around the elbows and makes Kelly scowl in pain with the body assault that raises extra volume among the fans. Sayaka rips a steady dose of harpoons right through Kelly's dwindling defense and sends her off with a yelp after landing one last hook on the jaw.

Round 4:
Kelly remains too slow for the Asian vixen who fakes a quick overhand before blasting the redhead on the navel. Ugh! Kelly didn't see that coming and bends forward with a whimper before Ando SMOKES her with a left hook on the temple. AND KELLY TAKES A KNEE!!! Uh-oh!!! Even Kate Abdo wonders whether Sayaka put all her might behind that shot but Kelly's just too hittable for her own good; she beats the count at seven and roars in anger when the fight is resumed only for Ando to pull off the same trick... she goes high... only to drop low and pierce the exposed navel again.. Reilly drops forward but the clinch escapes her and Sayaka NAILS her with another uppercut on the jaw that folds the British tourist like a swiss-knife... DOWN GOES REILLY FLAT ON HER FACE and the count is promptly waved off at six because there is no sign of life present! KO4 Sayaka Ando!!!

AFTER: That's as bad as it gets for poor Kelly who might still not be sober given how much alcohol she drinks on the Yellowstone set but Sayaka treated this like a sparring session by all accounts and still come away victorious. Owner Ayako Hamada tells her to abandon the post-fight action script as "we want these big names to bite the dust for years to come so let's don't scare them away again" and the rampant ovation from the Tokyo Dome is more than enough to satisfy Sayaka on her comeback night... for the time being: "Just make sure Maria Ozawa stays in the hotel, okay?"

Final result: Sayaka Ando def. Kelly Reilly KO4.
