Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago
BEFORE: Geordie veteran Cheryl Cole continues to target opponents several years her junior and tonight's lucky draw is Kiernan Shipka looking for new opportunities following the demise of Free Punchers. The Chicago native comes off a tough loss to Ashley Benson but claims the former Girls Aloud singer is actually a more manageable rival: "First, she's way older than me and secondly, she's way too cocky so I have no idea how people think she's a Top 20 talent or something. This ain't the Daily Mail rankings, tramp! I'm gonna beat you up, period!"
Cheryl Cole wears a leopard print bikini set & red gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a custom ponytail. Kiernan Shipka wears a red crop top, micro jeans shorts & silver gloves. Shoulder lenght dyed blonde hair straight. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.
Round 1:
Kiernan gets off to a hot start turning that age gap into reality as she blitzes the singer up the middle and cashes in with several quick hooks that bounce off the brunette's face. Cheryl usually tries to set the early tone in her fights but she gets outworked by a very committed opponent here and has to use her footwork to stay out of Shipka's range. That makes Lioness coach Eva Mendes visibly upset but the Geordie veteran simply can't tame this offensive explosion from the younger foe and gets bullied onto the ropes when Kiernan whacks her with a nifty double on each temple. Cole has to clinch the blonde instead of lashing out at her and the actress pummels her in the exposed midriff thereafter to run away with a highly impressive start as the Lioness entourage is left stunned by the experience.
Round 2:
Cheryl has to work her way back into the contest and she profits from Kiernan feeling a little too confident during the opening minute. A couple of wild hooks slice thin air and allow the singer to mount a counter-punching recovery before a big left/right blast plugs Shipka on the chest and wobbles her onto her heels. Chezza beats the youngster to the next punch that turns into a head-rocking combo as the Geordie slugger steps into her shots and tears a small gash under the left eye before too long. Kiernan wants to slug it back at the brunette but keeps bouncing off her forearms and eats another hard liner on the jaw that drops her onto the ropes where she sinks on jelly knees when Cheryl bursts into a jabbing frenzy to maintain the high-pressure advantage. Shipka has to clinch the singer to avoid more trouble and we're all even after two.
Round 3:
Kierna tries to blitz the older woman again but she bounces off the top of her forehead and wobbles forward to meet a rough uppercut combo before Cheryl flies a hard right on the ear that sinks the Chicago native on jelly knees again. She is slow to raise her arms and fails to spot another left/right combo that slams her on the nose... uh-oh... Kiernan tries to slide into a clinch but Cole shoves her back and steps into the front (left) leg to DRILL a right hook on the eye that RAGDOLLS THE BLONDE ONTO HER BACK!!! Booyah! That was a monster shot from the Newcastle's finest and she lays the young apprentice flat and out!!! Ref tries to conduct an otherwise slowish count but Shipka's ship (sic!) has sailed already! KO3 Cheryl Cole!!!
AFTER: "What more can I say? These young bimbos talk a lot but they can't deal with supreme power at all", Chezza tells Erin Andrews in the post-fight interview, "Maybe Kiernan, that's her name, right... maybe she can become a serviceable entry in the flyweight division over time but I wouldn't bet big money on that. Hit the gym and show you can actually do some damage. She won the first round, so what? Winning one round was last worth anything during Jenny McCarthy's Gauntlet so what are we even talking about here? (giggles)."
Official Result: Cheryl Cole def. Kiernan Shipka KO3.
