Round 1

Both women started slowly, eyeing up their opponent and throwing feinting punches which did not land.

CVETKOVA ducked down low to try and deliver a straight left to her opponent’s solar plexus, but it fell short.

She tried several times again, following it up with a giant right swing to the body which also failed to connect.

The referee gave CVETKOVA a warning for bending down too low when attempting to deliver these blows.

MASTRODOUKA quickly started to assert herself from the centre of the ring.

She forced CVETKOVA to dance defensively backwards around the ring

A brief tussle ended with CVETKOVA’S head under MASTRODOUKA’S right arm.

MASTRODOUKA continued with her attacks, knocking CVETKOVA down against the ropes with a right hand punch. CVETKOVA got up quickly, raising her arms above her head to show that she was O.K. but the referee gave her a standing count of 8 in the adjacent neutral corner before allowing the fight to continue.

The round ended with CVETKOVA pinned in the Blue corner with her head down protected by her two gloved hands whilst MASTRODOUKA rained right and left combinations on her upper torso and head.

After the bell, CVETKOVA strode straight to her corner where a compatriot male boxer gave her animated advice whilst her Second freshened her up.

Round 2

MASTRODOUKA had decided that she was no longer “playing” with her opponent.

She launched a series of her characteristic two handed attacks delivering quick blows to every vulnerable part of her opponent. CVETKOVA grabbed her temporarily around the waist.

With CVETKOVA back against the ropes she delivered a number of short right jabs to the body before knocking her down backwards with a left hook. The referee stepped between them and as CVETKOVA got up straight away he did not give her a count.

MASRODOUKA then drove her into the opposite neutral corner where she delivered a tirade of right and left combination blows, quickly putting CVETCOVA down on her hands with a right hook. CVETKOVA got up quickly but the referee gave her a standing count of 8. He allowed the fight to continue for a few seconds more, with CVETKOVA covering up with her gloves protecting her face from her opponent’s many punches, but then stopped the fight to prevent her receiving further punishment.

MASTRODOUKA was declared the winner by a TKO

The audience applauded loudly.

MASTRODOUKA fights like a man. She is very fast with both her fists, and moves well, delivering combinations to her opponent's head and body - wherever she sees an opening. Although describing herself as a Southpaw she seemed equally adept at leading with either hand. She is very focused. She is World Class !

CVETKOVA was outclassed, but fought bravely against a taller and heavier opponent.

As a professional boxer MASTRODOUKA advances to 2 win and no losses, and CVETKOVA drops to 2 wins 10 losses and 2 draws.

Speaking to your correspondent after the fight MASTRODOUKA confirmed that it was an easy fight. She expressed her strong desire to become a World Champion Boxer but needs sponsorship; large or small to help her achieve her ambition. She is hoping to fight abroad in July and to appear again at York Hall, London on MIRANDA CARTER’S next LEFT JAB promotion on Sunday, 23rd September 2012

CVETKOVA declined to comment.
