BBU SPRING GRUDGE SESSIONS VOL. 2

The Lookout! Atlantic roster came in full support of Rosie Jones' title challenge and while Gemma Merna made an unexpected cameo in the ring just few minutes ago we're back to the script in a mouth-watering clash between two actresses who both believe they're on the verge of entering the lightweight title frame. Helena Mattsson carries the Swedish flag for Lookout!, the pretty blonde looks to pick up some steam after just two fights last year which included a fine win over former BBU champion Erica Cerra but Berenice Marlohe is on a vengence mission following an upset knockout at the hands of Emmy Rossum. Without that loss Marlohe could have been just one win away from earning herself a place between the ropes with Miranda Kerr but according to Denise van Outen she's gonna have to beat both Mattsson and someone like Sayuki Matsumoto now to make up for that terrible upset.

 

The Lookout! team is looking for a perfect scorecard in Cardiff and Emilia Clarke set the bar very high against Kara Tointon but Helena's cold as ice during the introductions and realizes how important that fight is for her own title hopes. Many fans believe the Swedish blonde just needs to beat Berenice and she might really be right up there with the invincible Kerr before the summer! That's a tall order by anyone's standards, yet the title talk goes far beyond Church and Jones behind the scenes!

Helena Mattsson wearing a light blue basque top, yellow knickers and yellow gloves. Berenice Marlohe wearing a black basque top, black knickers and red gloves.

Round 1:
Berenice's visibly keen to make an early statement after that last defeat and hassles the blonde from the bell, manages to land only single leather for most of the opening minute though while Mattsson reverts into some quick feet and looks to weather the storm thanks to sheer defence and agility. Berenice keeps picking her off for the remainder of the round and increases the punching efforts, lands more shots on the body in the last third but can't slice the high guard and fails to connect with the Swede's face however Helena barely showed her armor which is slightly surprising even at this early stage of the bout.

Round 2:
More from the French girl who whacks Helena over the top and looks to snap her head around, solid shot on the temple finally shakes the high guard but triggers a response and Mattsson works on the brunette's chest herself, spikes the cleavage in frantic fashion before leaping away and leaving the Bond girl hanging. Marlohe can't keep up with the blonde's pace across the ring and doesn't follow up on that opening exchange, slows down thereafter as she realizes she won't tease Mattsson into an open war and the round concludes on a low note with both women faking their approach and circling each other in high anticipation but less effort.

Round 3:
Mattsson more efficient in approach early, surprises the brunette by attacking her in the middle of the ring, a welcomed change after a cumbersome start and digs her mitts into Marlohe's cleavage, escapes punishment in response thanks to the footwork and swings high thereafter, tags the cheeks and leans on the French girl; whacks her across the mouth before searching a put away uppercut but gets clinched instead. Marlohe tries to go physical in close range, shoves the blonde but bounces off the guard and has to step back in wake of another chest assault. Mattsson doesn't go all-in and still looks very much reserved, yet Marlohe can't do much about it.

Round 4:
Quick start from the brunette who slams her mitts into Helena's body but a swift cross hook on the mouth swings the favor the other way and now Mattsson dominates the close range thumping Berenice's rack with heavy uppercuts, visibly faster and more committed in her efforts, beats the Bond girl for an overhand on the nose and wobbles the brunette, throws immediate follow up on the chin and reels Berence back to the ropes. However she fails to trap her for good as Berenice bounces forward and clobbers the blonde's temple with a heavy hook, subsequent follow up whacks her on the nose and a leather trade-off staggers Mattsson and forces her to weave around as Marlohe barks in anger and lets her have it, bounces off the nose one more time and prevents a clinch, works uppercuts on the chest and leaves the Swede shaking her head at the bell.

Round 5:
Helena failed to use her agility for once late in the fourth and that annoys her to the point she drops her defensive mindset and chases the brunette down the ring, beats her for another overhand and nails on the nose before a quick change on the stomach leaves Marlohe gasping for air. Uppercut galore on the rack follows and slowly sinks the French girl in the middle of the ring as the ammount of leather proves too much and Berenice has to yield ground, leaps back to the ropes where she tries the same bounce and turn move as in the previous round but can't make it stick; Helena spins to her left hand and finds the ribcage, pins Marlohe to the ropes and slams more hooks across her mouth before the French woman can mount another response... LEFT HOOK ON THE JAW bends Berence completely to the side and forces a desperate cover but bell comes to the rescue as Helena was about to divebomb a shaky looking opponent right at the death.

Round 6:
Collision course in the middle of the ring as Helena's fully settled into the offensive stance and whacks the brunette's mitts aside off the bat; digs her gloves into Berenice's cheeks and wobbles her repeatedly through the minute mark; the sheer ammount of leather combined with the high intensity overwhelms the brunette's big punch and forces her back again but she avoids getting trapped on the ropes and looks to fire back from behind the guard before another piercing combo nails her on the nose and drops her arms... Helena with a quick pounce, finds the uppercut on the jaw and closes Marlohe's eyes, makes her moan thereafter with more head snaps and the brunette's cheeks begin to swell as Helena bounces off her in close range and wobbles back onto the ropes. Marlohe covers up but gets pinned butt-in-ropes and has to soak up some midsection punishment before she can hear the bell.

Round 7:
More aggression from Mattsson who dances around Marlohe's slowish efforts before romping away at the ribcage and forcing the arms to drop in protection; swift change up high results in more head snapping as Berenice's dark hair starts to fly around and she can't escape the close range punishment before getting shoved into the ropes; blonde power in full swing as Helena digs her mitts into Berenice's tummy and bends her forward, shatters the guard with another piercing uppercut on the jaw and the French girl can only clinch her way out of trouble, yet gets whacked on the ribcage in the final minute to keep the blonde's spirits high, a late rally on the guts relieves Marlohe from any kind of resistance and she sends a vocal tirade at her, just a sign of frustration more than anything else.

Round 8:
All Mattsson now as she traps her foe with another overhand on the nose and pounds away at the stomach thereafter, slips by a slowly executed jabbing combo and rips into Berenice's chest to remove more air from her lungs. French girl stumbles back but tries to mount a repsonse and bounces off the blonde's rack herself, leans on Helena only to eat a shattering left hook on the jaw and sink on the knees on the spot... wobbly butt time for the pretty brunette as she fails to raise her arms in time and Mattsson flicks a jabbing series on the cheeks, now cutting Berenice up with the swelling increasing to the point of bursting bloody open... facial barrage follows and throws a lacklustre brunette onto the ropes where Mattsson's versatile nature comes to the fore and she whacks the Bond girl on the tummy to leave her squealing her heart out but struggling to do anything meaningful; all leather on Marlohe's stomach which bends her to the side and allows the blonde to send more hooks around the elbows and leave a moaning Bond girl on the ropes and just unable to find her breath.

Round 9:
Mattsson wants to sign off in style and traps a wounded opponent in the middle of the ring, pierces the gloves aside without much trouble and all the work Marlohe's cutmen did during the interval goes wayward as the yellow mitts harpoon into the brunette's face and result in immediate bleeding again. Berenice just ducking and weaving on her feet but unable to find any solace, reverts into a walking pace by the minute mark and allows the Swedish girl to romp away at the guts again.. Berenice tries to jump away but loses her footing alltogether and falls into a clubbing hook on the brow ridge that sends her spinning around straight into the path of another hook on the nose... DOWN GOES MARLOHE FLAT ON HER BACK as the legs shoot up in the air and Helena raises both her arms in the air... French girl rolls back to her face and gets up on her knees at six, shoots back upright at eight but looks extremely worn out by all that Swedish punishment... Helena bounces off the neutral corner with more spikes on the head and sends the Bond heroine back to the turnbuckle in no time, harpoons the guts again and bends her forward, digs a shoulder on the chin and whips backwards against the ropes, runs out of time to finish her off though and screams out in native Swedish to indicate her frustration whereas Berenice looks dead on her legs with hair covering the eyes and that swollen and bleeding face too.

Round 10:
Marlohe offers nothing back and gets pounced in the middle of the ring with a flurry of leather from Mattsson who looks eager to rearrange the brunette's face but even the Swedish girl has to stumble upon some fitness woes and after slamming a combo on the cheeks to increase the moans to their loudest yet she wobbles forward and enables Berenice to clinch her in last-ditch attempt to see out the bout. After a brief struggle it's Helena back on top though and pummelling the brunette back to the ropes, single punches leave more marks on her already roughed up face but it's the blows to the liver area that make the biggest damage as Marlohe's reduced to a moaning mess down the stretch and sagging deeper on her knees. Mattsson with her face reddened with sheer exhaustion and effort keeps digging the right hand on the danger spot and Berenice almost leans her head on her shoulder as she gets her guts pierced out in the final minute and screams out her pain but refuses to go down again as Helena hits the red zone herself and can only whip Berenice back against the turnbuckle and swing around the head. There's no connection anymore but the all important damage was done earlier as Helena raises her arms at the bell with the French girl collapsing onto her knees and probably knowing what's coming next!

After ten rounds of boxing we go to the scorecards... Judges score the bout 99-93, 99-92 and 98-93 all for your winner through unanimous decision.. Helena Mattsson!!!

AFTER: Helena produces the biggest smile of the night so far and dwells on the Millennium Stadium's standing ovation after a spirited and no-nonsense performance in the latter stages of the bout. She totally neutralised Berenice's big punching skills and wore her out instead so there was no late comback on the cards possible. Even though the blonde looked upset after a missed knockout opportunity during the fight it's all irrelevant now as she watches Berence being escorted back to her corner and needing several minutes to take care of all her facial wounds and cuts.

The lenghty break enables BBU TV to catch some breather before the bantamweight title fight and while a chatting duo of Gemma Merna and Emilia Clarke is joined and warmly embraced by an equally joyful if a bit exhausted Helena Mattsson the question everyone in the Millennium Stadium asks themselves is whether the Lookout! Atlantics can go all the way and deprive Wales from their only current BBU title reign? Clarke and Mattsson send out a strong message if Rosie Jones' record needed any extra indication!

Final result: Helena Mattsson def. Berenice Marlohe UD10.
