BBU LIONESS CLUB ANNIVERSARY CARD FROM BARNET - DAY ONE

 

Posted by Vassago on August 24, 2014, 2:36 pm

 

The internal singers' fights continue on the opening day of the Lioness Club anniversary card as Barnet's favorite redhead Nicola Roberts makes her 2014 debut by taking on ex-Atomic Kitten blonde bombshell Liz McClarnon. Roberts fell down the Girls Aloud pecking order after Cheryl Cole earned herself the Mr. Marcus Invitational billing and she's not exactly bold enough to feature on the Boxing on the Beach cards like Sarah Harding was few weeks ago. Denise van Outen thinks Nicola is too shy to elbow her way through the BBU ranks and even Kimberely Walsh has the guts to flash some skin just to get attention despite a lousy record but Nicola? Hell no even if she would be the perfect pin-up girl for most of the male audience ahead of the allegedly overrated Cheryl Cole. 


Van Outen's rumblings aside, Nicola is urged by coach Gina Wild to show her vicious side tonight against McClarnon who was labelled as the punchbag of the division until she stunned Una Healy and Kimberley Walsh last term. Mel C. stopped her little hot streak earlier this year but many fans in Barnet fear she can knock Nicola out and the targeted Girls Aloud clean sweep would be impossible to achieve.

Nicola Roberts wears a pale blue bikini top, small black hip-huggers and green gloves. Liz McClarnon wears all white bikini with reddish trim and red gloves. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
A sluggish start has both girls chasing shadows early, single hand approach fails to succeed on either side before Liz finally shows more aggression and jabs at the redhead's cleavage, slices the arms apart and digs her gloves on the body, Nicola swings wide off the mark in response as she targets the head but has to cover up tight with the blonde piercing her ribcage and trying to punch back to the ropes in vain. A late clinch gives Roberts some respite but the blonde still pumps something extra on the kidneys to annoy her.

Round 2:
McClarnon with some fine feet and accurate body attack early, she keeps digging around Roberts' elbows and spikes the ribcage but eats a right hook across the mouth and has to cover up as the redhead finally gets something going and pummels the high guard with great intensity. She can't quite slice through on the flesh though and circles back, teases Liz into a half-hearted jabbing before threatening to respond in a body onslaught of her own. Still, the pace of the bout is rather slow with no big punches on offer from either side.

Round 3:
Liz find the big punch as she fakes more ribcage assault only to drill the chin with a clean uppercut and spin the carrot hair around Roberts' neck. She moves on with more facial barrage and smacks the cheeks to stagger Nicola on the spot and flicks a combo on the temples too, forces the Girls Aloud vixen to circle back in depair rather than mount immediate response and the ammount of punches thrown gives the Atomic Kitten blonde the edge as she chases the cumbersome opponent from side to side before finally catching her between the arms and punishing the cleavege. Nicola falls on the ropes but locks another clinch to survive the round even though she's making no inroads on McClarnon at all.

Round 4:
Nicola flies with an unexpected left/right piercing combo on the head and bounces off the blonde's nose before a crushing uppercut makes Liz yelp in pain.. a sudden pace upgrade has Nicola bumping into her chest and wobbling her back, a left hand finds it's way on the eye and McClarnon must cover up herself, she tries to punch back from the defensive side but Nicola bumps into her again and blocks the effort off, slips down for a hook on the navel and blasts another cross hook on the nose to send the blonde tripping onto the tunrbuckle. A jabbing series buries Liz for good but the precision is at premium and Nicola can't underline her fine performance in this round as she bounces off the forearms and gloves to let McClarnon off the hook.

Round 5:
Nicola wades in on the liver area and wrenches the blonde to the side, flicks an uppercut on the jaw to snap the head back too and Liz tries to regain her stance only to fall into a flurry of leather with Roberts making some noise as she's finding the cheeks and pummelling her foe back to the ropes. A wild swing from Liz catches her on the left eye but she finds a crunching hook on the nose herself and drops McClarnon's arms, the blonde sags on the ropes and has no time to cover up for a left/right jabbing menace on the nose WHICH DROPS HER ON THE CANVAS moments later... crowd errupts in delight but Liz is up at four and indicates she slipped all by herself.. an immediate response after the command finally ignites the ruthless spark into this bout and Nicola's hair flies back as McClarnon screams out in her efforts and pummels the redhead from the back foot and escapes the ropes, a flyweight-like exchange enforces a Roberts fumble who must seek respite in mid-distance as the blonde looks not bothered by that knockdown at all. Perhaps she really slipped there?

Round 6:
McClarnon with a furious approach, realizes a decision victory on Lioness Club's home turf would be extremely unlikely against the Barnet's favorite redhead and she nails Nicola's cheeks with a piercing series before belting away at the tummy. Roberts with a facial response, soaks up the midriff leather and finds the brow ridge to tame the blonde's attack. She works the repeated right hand on the eye and as Liz withstands a quick one-two, the third one cranks her neck and makes her whimper. She covers up in earmuff but Nicola drills the area and splits the mitts, works on the left eye and pummels the blonde back to the ropes where she throws a left hook on the ribcage and makes McClarnon scream with another right hand on the eye. Liz turns her back and sags on her ropes, Nicola has none of it and spikes the kidneys but before the ref can drag her away, the clock expires and prevents any lecture or even a point deduction.

Round 7:
McClarnon's left eye has developed a nasty swelling in wake of that repeated onslaught, Roberts doesn't have a reputation of a big puncher but the landed some really clean blows which were enough to inflict the wound. Liz is overprotective on the left side as a result but still has to hassle the redhead, another feisty exchange ensues but the Barnet crowd get what they want when a swift left/right combo pierces the blonde's guard and nails her on the wounded eye. McClarnon's staggered on the spot and visibly affected by the wound, allows Nicola to punch her back to the ropes where a flurry of Girls Aloud leather drops her arms and has Roberts punching McClarnon's face into more swollen mess at the bell. Liz just sags on the ropes after the bell and shakes her head with her left eye almost completely shut now and that really surprises Denise van Outen despite her pre-fight comments.

Round 8:
Liz is uncertain whether to attack or just hang on for survival as the knockdown makes the scorecards untenable from her side but Nicola helps her to decide first as she slips by with more facial leather and spikes the wounded eye to drop the arms. McClarnon's feet get tangled up and she wobbles straight into an uppercut on the chin to make her wince again, a right hook on the eye drops the head and renders the body numb... BLONDE GIRL DOWN... McClarnon just slides on her back and fights the spasms of pain... she gets up at eight but protects the eye with her glove and looks on the verge of breaking down... ref notices the left eye is swollen shut for good and calls for the medics as Liz leans forward against the ropes and stomps the canvas in frustration accepting a heart-breaking defeat.. TKO8 Nicola Roberts!!!

AFTER: Nicola looks very surprised she enforced the stoppage on the blonde and admits she got lucky until coach Gina Wild takes over the mic and indicates her plan had McClarnon's hittable presence all figured out before. Some commotion in the ring before a round of pints solves the tension and only leaves the blonde still struggling to embrace the defeat. She demands a quick rematch but her challenge falls on deaf ears at first only for Cheryl Cole to wander into McClarnon's path back in the locker room which ends up with some blonde locks being ripped off. The weight advantage enables Liz to trip the Geordie brunette to the ground before the security crew drags her away but triggering an open conflict with the Girls Aloud roster is never the brighest idea no matter how unlucky the result was for the ex-Atomic Kitten. We haven't heard the last of this as Liz finally thinks better of it and settles down for medical assistance to her wounded eye rather than insulting the Geordie pride any further.

Final result: Nicola Roberts def. Liz McClarnon TKO8.
