BEFORE: Success in sports is one thing but sometimes popularity is equally as important and Rachel Stuhlmann is on her way to secure a busy schedule for reasons unrelated to performance according to several media outlets. That's not exactly a bad thing and the tennis influencer remains convinced she eventually breaks through with her maiden FCBA victory.

Meanwhile Dutch model Romee Strijd is ready to smash the buxom brunette into pieces and mount another Top 10 challenge that admittedly requires some work over the summer. Romee missed on the big pinata swing when she fell to Kate Upton in January and some pundits still question if she's truly ready for prime time appearances.

Romee Strijd wears a blue & pink themed bikini set & blue gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a sleek ponytail. Rachel Stuhlmann wears a yellow bikini set & black gloves. Long black hair tied in a curled ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the welterweight division.

Round 1:
Rachel feels the pressure to come in with an aggressive approach and she flicks several crisp shots during the initial exchange but can't quite land that intended haymaker even though the blonde refuses to channel the immediate counter-punching response. Stuhlmann is given the opportunity to reload her attack and she does a better job in the second minute when she lands a couple of good hits into Strijd's face but the fight still takes place in the center of the ring and follows the back & forth script despite the brunette's efforts to look more dominant. She bounces off the stubborn Dutch guard too often for that to happen and gets clinched into a lenghty stalemate to close out the round. Romee appears to be a little rusty here and doesn't exactly a positive response from coach Claudia Schiffer during the interval.

Round 2:
Rachel seeks another aggressive pounce but gets immediately challenged by the blonde's head-hunting response and soaks up a couple of dangerous knocks around the temples that make her think better off it. However that's a bad idea to give Romee the room to attack since the Dutch Lioness duly drives up the stats and pounds her way through the leaky high-guard sending the buxom influencer back to the post where she's unable to swing back with authority so the blonde takes over the command for remainder of the round almost without any warning. Romee gets vocal and suddenly doesn't look so out of shape as she drives in more hooks on target and snaps Stuhlmann's head back in confident fashion sinking the older woman into loud spasms come the bell.

Round 3:
Romee jumps into another head-hunting pursuit and slams immediate double into the brunette's temples before a rare uppercut on the chin catches the St. Louis woman completely off guard and wobbles her forward just as the Dutch model SLAMS a left hook on the jaw one more time. Ugh! That's a big time home run as Rachel goes all numb upon impact and COLLAPSES DOWN ON HER BACK moments later as even the LCA coach Claudia Schiffer is surprised how fast this all happened right here. The ref gives the fallen woman a quick look and then waves off the count! KO3 Romee Strijd in vintage one-punch fashion!!!

AFTER: Apparently there's nothing wrong with Romee's elite prospects even though she made a slow start to this contest. Rachel had a brief moment where she could have send the Dutch foe into real trouble but missed her chance and was never allowed a second one. The final result is anything but surprising but at least the audience was presented with a welter special one punch KO which always makes the headlines regardless of the opponent's actual level.

Official Result: Romee Strijd def. Rachel Stuhlmann KO3.
