Bare Knuckle Boxing - Willa Holland vs Samia Ghadie

Words - Knowlesey  Result - Lookout




Entering the ring are two girls who are keen to advance their cases in the new bare knuckle sector, in a fight where Willa appears to hold all the aces, being taller, heavier and younger than Samia, who’s ring career with gloves on is nothing to crow about, and Willa certainly looks confident as she takes her bow, wearing a baby blue vest and shorts, with Samia looking lovely as ever in a red vest and white shorts, both girls hands being taped to match their vests



Round 1



Off we go, and Willa’s clearly going to use her extra reach to her advantage, her fists thudding into Samia’s face straight away, the Brit unable to respond quicklyand she retreats, Willa chasing her, then Samia stands and hits the taller girl with a nice right hook to her jaw, and that seems to have discouraged Willa, who backs off now, Samia standing her ground, then moving in towards the taller girl, so that she can hit her to her body, and Willa doesn’t like that, the younger actress looking irritated, and she bops Samia with a straight right handed punch to her face, the Brit wide eyed after that, aware now of the American’s punching ability, and Willa hits her again, left and right handed punches to her face, Samia clearly hurt, but she stands and takes the punches well, then fights back, landing to Willa’s ribs, trying to get herself inside the younger girl’s reach, and the round ends with Samia looking strong, cracking her fists into Willa’s body, the American grunting and gasping each time the little English sl*t lands a shot, and Samia’s taken the opening round, against expectation



Round 2



The girls come together quickly, and Willa looks good as she uses her size to her advantage again, thudding punches into Samia’s face, the Brit looking stunned as she feels the force of the bigger girl’s knuckles, retreats, but takes care not to close herself into a corner, stays mobile, then gets clipped again, Willa’s left hook smacking hard into her mouth as she ignores Samia’s bodypunches, her taped knuckles drawing blood from Samia’s lips, the Brit spitting on the floor after wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, she then gives Willa a decent pair of punches either side of her ribcage, the taller girl just thumping her back again, her knuckles cracking hard into Samia’s waiting face, and she needs to show better defence, or she’s likely to lose thse good looks tonight, Willa’s fans cheering for her to pile into the older girl, who now covers herself better, limiting herself to blocking Willa, who seems to have hurt her right hand after hitting Samia on top of her head, the Brit dropping her head forwards to avoid facial damage, Willa shaking and worrying at her right fist at the bell



Round 3



The word is that Willa may have dislocated her index finger knuckle on that right hand, and certainly she’s not trying to hit Samia with it in the early stages of the round, letting the little Brit dictate terms to her, working her body, making her go backwards, Willa defending herself with her left hand and arm, but Samia’s quite happy to bang her taped knuckles into the taller girl’s left arm, which is beginning to redden and bruise, Willa now trying to use her right hand, but Samia bangs away at her ribs, Willa not throwing any sort of venomous punches, squeaking as the Brit’s taped knuckles thud into her ribs, Willa unable to prod her away with her right hand causing her so much trouble, and she’s in big trouble, backed into the ropes as Samia whips a few punches into her face, Willa looking pretty bruised and sore around her cheeks at the bell, Samia looking triumphant, arms raised



Round 4



Willa’s corner have been working between rounds on the girl’s face and hand, and she’s flexing that right fist, grimacing a little, but she seems less uncomfortable, although she took a beating in round 3, and her face is swelling cruelly, but she comes at Samia from the start of round 4, and bangs the shorter girl’s head backwards straight away with a couple of solid straight punches, Samia in full retreat as she takes a hard blow to her nose, which starts to bleed, Willa still in trouble with her right hand, though, but she’s beginning to work Samia over using just her left fist, smacking it hard into the little sl*t’s face, Samia’s right eyebrow starting to leak blood from a little cut, but she hits Willa to the body at close range, and uses both fists on the taller girl to make her back off, Willa again taking heavy hooks to her ribs, and she really is going to need a rest after this fight, Samia getting back into control of affairs, and she hits Willa to her mouth, left and right fists landing in quick succession, making sure that she’s leaking blood too, both girls really looking shabby at the end of a tough round



Round 5



Samia’s smiling her sneaky little grin as the girls resume, but even one handed, Willa’s giving her a hard time now, stabbing out left jabs into the Brit’s face one after another, and she risks a right to the little sl*t’s belly, which seems to have hurt her as much as Samia, but the older girl doesn’t risk counter punching, lets Willa take her time, the American recovering, then she picks Samia off, cracking her left fist into the smaller girl’s face, really targeting her eye and cheek, Samia unable to keep Willa off right now, as the younger girl seems to be putting every ounce of strength into trying to knock her out, Samia backed into the ropes, just taking her medicine, her right eye closing, cut to the eyebrow and cheek now as Willa’s left fist sorts her out, but somehow Samia moves to the side, forces Willa to use her right hand to try to keep her backed into the ropes, and that has Willa squealing in pain, Samia not needing to punch her, just wait for her to hurt herself, and she manages to hit Willa’s right hand with her own left when she clinches, Willa almost shaking as the bell ends a round she dominated, but at a cost.



Round 6



Willa’s corner have complained about Samia’s tactics, but he’s just shrugged them off, and as the girls come back to each other, he smiles a little as Samia bangs her fists into Willa’s body some more, and maybe the younger babe has punched herself out? She certainly isn’t too quick around the ring, and Samia rips a left hook into her liver, Willa screeching in pain from that, and she’s really struggling now, her right hand swollen, useless for defensive duties, and Samia knows it, hits Willa again, close enough to the previous target area to see the American’s jaw drop open, and now Willa isn’t offering much at all, seems done in, and despite fighting with her right eye shut, Samia launches a barrage of punches into Willa’s face, a right hook to her jaw being the final punch in a string of seven crashing shots, and Willa drops to the canvas, onto her knees first, then she simply topples over, and the referee stands over her to count her out!



Result: Samia Ghadie knocked out Willa Holland in round 6!



That was probably the cruellest defeat Willa will ever suffer – at the hands of an ageing British flyweight, who is now punching the air in triumph. She clearly wants to humiliate Willa, but it’s not going to happen, because the medics want the poor girl out and into hospital to assess her damaged right hand
