Maura Higgins vs Nicola Roberts
(Frankie's Foxes vs Lioness Club)
(4-0, 4 KO vs 16-18, 14 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago


BEFORE: Promising Irish talent Maura Higgins wants to make a run at the divisional straps later this season and her quest officially starts today as she takes on Girls Aloud legend Nicola Roberts in the Cardiff Arena. Nicola's record might not be of the highest order but she's one of the most experienced bantams in BBU and always provides crowd-pleasing action!

Maura Higgins wears a violet bikini set with black trim & black gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a half-up ponytail. Nicola Roberts wears a white bikini set & red gloves. Long auburn red 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:
Maura wants to set the early jabbing tone but struggles to break through the singer's guard and leaves herself exposed to a solid counter-punching response that allows Nicola to assume command of the high-octane action. She whacks the brunette across the mouth and glues her mitts into Maura's otherwise pretty face before blowing a left hook on the temple that sinks the glamour model on her heels. Ugh! Another wild hook cuts a small gash on the nasal ridge and Maura has to bail out of trouble in a hurry. Nicola has plenty of dancing experience in her own right but just can't close the reeling Irish lass down however she easily claims the round on points as Higgins barely grazed her flesh here.

Round 2:
Another furious charge from the younger woman who stalks Nicola over the top and finally manages to stick a noteworthy series in the process. Nicola refuses to back off and maintains the head-hunting route herself alas she gets outworked by the numbers and struggles to embrace a quick switch downstairs from the aggressive opponent. Maura barks in delight when she wobbles the redhead to her heels come the two-minute mark and delivers a heavy gut-checking drive thereafter to remain on top of the action. Nicole spins out of close range but cuts a dejected figure when Maura rocks her with a looping double on each temple at the bell.

Round 3:
Nicola isn't best known for her aggression but she wants to prevent another heavy slugging approach from the Irish foe however Maura beats her to the punch and carries more jabbing prowess during the initial tangle. A quick clash of heads throws Roberts off balance and she fails to cover for a booming right hand that nails her on the mouth moments later. She sinks on her heels and has to soak up another charge from Higgins who rattles her back to the post where she switches low to punish the breadbasket in the final minute. Nicola clinches her to limit the damage but shakes her head in anger at the bell with Lioness coach Mel B. getting vocal during the break too.

Round 4:
Maura fires a left hook on the nose and sticks to the head-hunting plan while Nicole uses her footwork to escape the initial slugging heat. Higgins still nails her from each side and rocks her head back & forth before a scything cross on the jaw sinks the redhead into loud spasms. Roberts is slow to raise her arms and Maura crashes into her nose with another rough double; she slumps the singer to the side and delivers a heavy right on the eye that FLOORS ROBERTS moments later! Uh-oh! The proud singer looks a little dazed and checks for damage but eventually gets up at seven... only to suffer more pain when Maura rolls out another head-hunting charge. She pummels the subdued singer to the ropes but runs out of time to finish her off for good!

Round 5:
Nicola is still affected by the knockdown and fails to embrace another high-octane blast from the Irish prospect. Maura doesn't waste any time to smack more quick hooks upstairs before dropping a rare shot on the breasts that cripples the singer on impact. Ugh! Nicola wobbles forward with a whimper and eats a brutal uppercut on the jaw that SENDS HER CRASHING DOWN on the canvas!!! And this time she rolls onto her side with eyes closed and lets the referee count her out in merciless fashion!!! KO5 Maura Higgins!!!

AFTER: Some pundits still believe Una Healy is the best Irish bantamweight on the scene but Maura looks set to change that narrative in the foreseeable future! She only needs to stay away from Frankie Cocozza's lap and pool parties according to BBU TV's Denise van Outen. Well, that's a daunting task but Myleene Klass should be a worthy consolation prize for the Foxes manager to scribble on! Maura refuses to lay out her imminient plans and claims that "Some of these slags are simply scared of me!" but there's every chance BBU fans will see her in the ring sooner rather than later! The St. Partrick's Day is next month already after all.

Official Result: Maura Higgins def. Nicola Roberts KO5.
