  Ragosina by stoppage in one
By Ewan Whyte

(SEPT 18) It took all of 30 seconds last night for Natascha Ragosina to dispatch the overmatched (and not altogether undernourished) Maria Velichkova of the Czech Republic. With no time amid the phone-in competitions and ‘co main events’ (one of which featured a pot-bellied greaser in his forties, who appeared to be drunk) to show us the full thirty seconds, D:SF cut to the chase:
 
  Velichkova, a huge blonde with teddy-bear ears (the secret love child, perhaps, of the British Home Secretary?) paws at Ragosina — you can’t call it a jab; it’s a kind of circular, up-down-and-back movement, like that of the shaft turning the wheels of a locomotive — and Ragosina answers with a perfectly executed right cross that catches her on the left cheek, spinning her round and leaving her doubled over, as though wanting to vomit.

The referee, several yards from the action, looks at the state of her and charges to the rescue, shouting at Ragosina to hold off. As it is, Ragosina’s follow-up, which he’s too late to prevent, is merely a looping left intended to turn her stricken opponent round and set her up for the kill.

Standing either side of the diminutive referee as the result is announced, they look like Valkyrie: Ragosina, with her blonde braids plastered onto her scalp like a helmet (though her hair’s so abundant it takes two pony tails to keep the rest out of her face), and Velichkova, who must be over six foot, a vanquished giantess. Even with her shoulders slumped, she looks far bigger than her opponent. In her cylindrical aluminium shorts (a dustbin with the bottom kicked out?), she’s a turkey too big for the oven. Young, too. Pretty from this angle; but with that far-away look you see in newsreels of prisoners of war running through the whole Miltonic fiasco a second time in their minds, as though even that were preferable to living in the present.

There seems to be an inexhaustible supply of teenagers in eastern Europe and the Dominican Republic willing to try their luck in German rings against thoroughbreds like Ragosina and Graf. This one was weeks away from full fitness. As usual, we were told she was ‘not be underestimated’; that they were saying great things about her in her native land.

To judge from her tearful, crestfallen demeanour after the fight, she, too, had believed them.

In a second women's match, Susianna Kentikian defeated Renata Vesecka in the fourth round by 58 seconds TKO.
