Garnet Gunners UK's Kirsty Gallacher enters her maiden BBU fight very hopeful of success against Irish veteran Victoria Smurfit who clearly needs a big performance to revive her career having gone winless in 2011. The odds are evenly matched, despite Smurfit's mediocre record, she's the more experienced of the two and Gallacher's skills remain an unknown quantity before tonight's clash. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in welterweight division.

 

Kirsty Gallacher wearing a black leather top, exposing her tummy and red gloves. Victoria Smurfit wearing a white leather top, trying to match her rival's outfit and black gloves.

Round 1:
Victoria steps up immediately after the bell, looks to use her experience against the Scottish newcomer and quickly peppers her from mid-range. Kirsty weaves around on her feet, avoids engaging in an early punchfest, but gets laced repeatedly in the chest and body. Victoria's more confident later in the round, continues to hassle Kirsty across the ring with intensive jabbing. Gallacher with single-striking response, barely grazes the blonde's flesh and is clearly second best in the opening three minutes.

Round 2:
Similar story in the second, Victoria's early attack keep Kirsty on the back foot, she does well though to avoid getting trapped into a precarious position along the ropes. She fires back at the Irish foe and finally lands soem shots to the head, forcing Smurfit to drop her aggression a bit. Both women clinch late in the round as the action is rather subdued. Pedestrian performance from the Scottish girl who hasn't settled into her maiden bout just yet,

Round 3:
Victoria's happy to keep plugging away at her rival, she hasn't been tested so far and lands a solid combo to the stomach early, bending Gallacher down. Crisp left hook to the temple is followed by an uppercut through the mitts. It lands clean on the jaw and Kirsty wobbles back, leans on the ropes and quickly eats more leather as the blonde whacks her in the tummy couple of times. Kirsty winces in pain, covers up and looks to clinch, but Smurfit whips a quick right hook between the mitts again and GALLACHER SLIDES on her backside!!! Victoria's over the moon with that knockdown, leaps in the air with delight, but Kirsty just wipes off some invisible sweat from her nose and gets up at five. She finally moves forward, looking to tame the blonde's dominance, but gets rocked with another left hook to the temple and spends the rest of the round covered up along the ropes.

Round 4:
Smurfit smells blood, ups the tempo a bit, jabs to the chest and body, avoids Kirsty's response and whacks her in the ribcage with a left hook; follows up with a right to the mouth and Gallacher's on the ropes again, looking dizzy. She covers up, but the blonde continues slugging it out, whips her in the stomach, works on the head, looking to break through the gloves. Kirsty weaves back and forth, but is rooted to the spot, overwhelmed by the unexpected barrage at her expense. Smurfit pummels her all through the round and needs to catch a break in the dying moments. Kirsty avoids another knockdown but her face begins to develop a nasty looking swelling as she's taken quite a bit of the blonde's punches in this bout already.

Round 5:
Victoria with a quick leap early in the fifth, catches the Scottish foe with a left hook above the elbow and snaps her head landing it to the cheek. Kirsty moans in pain again, but tries to drive forward herself, throws a hooking combo to the chest, briefly taming Smurfit's charge, but the blonde just sidesteps to the right and whacks the cumbersome Gallacher in the ribs. Kirsty loses her footing, bends forward and Victoria nails her in the cheeks with a right/left combo. DOWN GOES GALLACHER for the second time!!! She lands on all fours and stares at the canvas in visible shock as ref starts the count. She remains on her knees until the seven count and quickly gets up, but the misery continues as Victoria laces her in the mouth with another right hook moments after the command. Kirsty jumps to the ropes, seeking some respite, but Victoria walks around her in no time, pins against the corner post and lands more shots to the head. Gallacher's gloves can't stay in tact anymore as the Irish girl is ripping through them with every punch! More swelling for Kirsty coming up as she takes a couple of big hits on the face, she closes her eyes and drops her arms just waiting for the kill... AND THE REF STEPS IN, grabbing Victoria's right arm before she throws a haymaker that could have put the Scottish rival to sleep. TKO R5 Victoria Smurfit!!!

Post-fight:
The eighteen-months losing streak is over for Victoria Smurfit who was in charge of this bout all the way through but her career isn't revived completely as a more experienced rival would have tested her more severely. Indeed Kirsty Gallacher looked lost out there on her debut and she can only go up from here. Her skills still remain a mystery as Victoria didn't allow her to show any of them tonight.

Final result: Victoria Smurfit def. Kirsty Gallacher TKO5.
