Not so long ago Lucy Pinder was considered by many to be PageThrees' pin-up girl not only in the bantamweight division but within the whole stable. However the rise of Emma Glover and Nicola McLean has caused the pretty brunette's stock to drop in recent months and a great chance to take some momentum back her way was wasted when she picked up an ankle injury after winning the glamour girls tournament semi-final against Claire Sinclair. This prevented her from taking on Emma Glover in the final and a subsequent return against Leah Dizon ended in a round seven knockout defeat.

Fast forward couple of months and Pinder is back again, this time aiming to demolish any brunette's worst nightmare, a buxom blonde in Sam Cooke who defeated Charlotte McKenna on her debut last year. "I strongly reject any internal stable rumbling which led to my withdrawal from the Emma Glover fight last October!", Lucy must answer the lingering question to BBU TV's Denise van Outen, "Likewise I won't admit Emma's a better fighter than me since everyone knows I'm the top brunette among the P3 girls! But yeah, we kinda ignore each other recently. Nevermind that. I didn't even come for Nicola McLean (laughs) but just to pound the stuffing out of Sam Cooke! She's been bragging about her jugs far too loud and far too long for me to be quiet! Let's tear this girl apart!"

But Sam Cooke, despite still being independent, reckons her chances pretty high against a hatred brunette opponent: "Lucy Pinder is just another airhead with nothing to show but for her boobs. It will be my utmost pleasure to pound her into submission and yeah, I plan to make her quit on her stool! My debut against Charlotte McKenna was truly marvellous but beating brunettes like Pinder is my true calling! I think you Denise can understand that?" Denise van Outen nods at the fellow blonde relishing in her memory the beatdown she gave Christine Bleakley a while back and winks to Sam indicating she's slightly biased when judging these two glam girls. Thank god Lucy didn't notice that look as she'd most likely treat van Outen with a quick jab of her own...

Lucy Pinder wearing a red bikini with white vertical stripes and red gloves. Dark brown hair in loose waves. Sam Cooke wearing a golden bikini and black gloves. Blonde hair straight. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Lucy comes out swinging and clips the blonde's chin with her early charge as Sam misses a counter hook and Pinder slams a left cross against her eye establishing control! She pummels through the high guard and rocks the blonde on her feet, just snaps her head back and lands more shots around the eye as Cooke clearly got caught napping at the start of the fight and now just takes punishment with the brunette laying heavy leather against her face of all places! Sam manages to finally cover up after a lenghty jabbing series from Lucy but the brunette just switches targets and pounds her foe on the tummy, goes around the elbows and has Cooke tripping over her own feet as she tries to escape from close range. Couple big shots on the navel top off Pinder's rout and Cooke just looks shocked by the vicious nature of the opening round as Lucy squares up to her after the bell and wants to have a word but the ref drags her away before some ugly scenes occur in the ring.

Round 2:
Pinder's on it again, she just lashes out at the blonde's midsection and pummels through the low guard, bounces off the navel a couple of times and whips a surprising uppercut that has Cooke all over the canvas on her feet. Arms down and eyes staring at the dark-haired vixen but Lucy reaches after her and cross-hooks the mitts, slams a right jab on the nose and sinks Sam on her knees. A follow up to the brow ridge meets no defence and COOKE LANDS FLAT ON HER BACK in the middle of the ring!! Pinder raises both her arms in the air as the blonde scampers back to her feet at seven but looks completely lost out there and just becomes an easy prey for Lucy who rips into her guts and pummels her back to the ropes. No mercy for Sam's tummy and she's getting worked over viciously and efficiently by a raging brunette who doesn't stop pounding away as the blonde's moans level rises and indicates she's in all sorts of bother. Cooke sags back butt-in-ropes and avoids a second knockdown but Pinder made jelly beans out of her stomach with that charge and as the blonde's head drops between her shoulder, ref keeps a close look on both girls but isn;t forced into any action with Lucy strutting back to her stool and Sam just slumping on it in visible pain.

Round 3:
Cooke just wants to get some respite and hangs back along the ropes but Lucy's all over her in no time, avoids an overhand attempt and buries another low jab into the navel, uppercuts the rack and Sam's arms just can't stay together as Pinder just punishes the cleavage, pounds away with no resistance at all and quickly makes Cooke to yelp in pain. BLONDE'S CHEST GETS HAMMERED!!! Lucy with a massive charge, whips several hooks on her foe's assets and Sam just can't live with this osnalught, drops her arms and eats more leather on the jugs... Lucy visibly enjoys that but can't quite rip that golden bikini to shreds, flicks a quick uppercut on the chin; Sam sinks further down on her knees; gets laced with a left hook on the temple... right hand on the nose... AND DOWN GOES COOKE AGAIN!!! Proud blonde just hits the deck hard in the corner and leans her head over the lower rope; looks totally overwhelmed and unable to come back. Ref starts the count as she rolls back onto her knees and uses the ropes to help herself upright at eight... Pinder is upset, wants the ref to call it off, but not gonna happen... Cooke is trapped in the corner though and the brunette just rips through her guard, snaps the head backs nad pins to the post, hammers away at the ribcage but splits the mitts moments later and bangs a right uppercut on the jaw that SENDS SAM DOWN ON HER KNEES AND FACE-FIRST ON THE CANVAS... Ref finally confirms the mismatch and raises Lucy's hand in the air in old-school fashion even before the verdict is announced... Tremendous performance from PageThrees' most glamorous brunette!!! KO R3 Lucy Pinder!!!

Post-fight:
After an extended build-up most of the O2 Arena crowd expected a close run fight but Lucy obviously had other ideas as she simply destroyed Sam Cooke in the ring! This must be one of the best wins of her career and even Denise van Outen applauds the brunette's performance as she conducts the post-fight interview: "Did you see that? Did you see that? I just romped over that wannable model. Useless blonde bimbos, they're all like that... yeah, sorry Denise, nice hair color... really... anyway, I think it's about time BBU took me serious and I mean really serious. Enough of some Leah Dizon creatures, I want the A-list names next!!!"

As Lucy leaves the ring to a standing ovation, the medics are still working on Sam Cooke and the blonde glamour model just looked totally out of her depth tonight and the win over Charlotte McKenna might either prove a fluke or speak volumes about McKenna's skills. Whatever the reason, Cooke just couldn't do anything against Pinder but Denise van Outen indicates that the early hook that nailed her at the start of the fight was pretty random and threw the blonde off her comfort zone. Lucy risked a lot with her aggressive approach and hit the jackpot with Sam's experience vastly inferior and unable to save her from the beating she eventually took.

Final result: Lucy Pinder def. Sam Cooke KO3.
