Adriana Lima
vs Sayuki Matsumoto
(Words: O & E / Results: Lookout!)
Before: Sayuki fighting a punishing schedule, stepping up to the likes of Jenner & Katic, and the resulting damage to her win-loss ratio is obvious. Adriana in a slump of her own, dropping five in a row in the past year. Veteran fighters both in need of a win to stay relevant.
Ringpost in sand setup. Sayuki entering in a black high-waisted bikini, shoulder-length hair tucked under a cap that gets tossed into the crowd before she ducks under the ropes, black gloves. Adriana wearing a floral triangle-cut bikini, red gloves, hair loose and long over back and breasts
R1: Girls touch each other stubby jabs, then fall in to slug meaningfully to the body. Both standing on straight legs, leaning in slightly, hands low--they trade bruising strokes to the waist and chest, forgetting for the moment that both have chins. Girls look to rest their palms on one another’s hips, then jolt short punches in tight--working in and around one another’s arms. Busy two-way action, but Sayuki’s landing a blockbuster right hand just inside Adriana’s left hip that’s sounding out lout, drawing pained winces from Brazilian--tough Round 1 to Matsumoto.
R2: Sayuki knows she’s found something and goes right back to her girl. Standing toe to toe, hands low again, Matsumoto starts piling in those rights to the lower belly, holding her own hands across her stomach, using her shoulder and chest as she leans forward to budge Lina into position. Adriana finally emitting a pepping whimper as her legs give way--she falters to the ropes as Sayuki steps with her. Lima keeping left elbow in tight to take away the hurt; Matsumoto curling the right hand to the breasts and across the jaw as the girls continue to trade inside. Sayuki out to an early lead as she takes back-to-back rounds.
R3: Adriana recovers nicely--they touch each other with stubby jabs, fall in for more of the same wrecking crew. Standing straight, leaning in, both women look as though they’re carrying bricks in either hand, just heaving the blocks up into one another’s sturdy torsos, Sayuki’s been setting a blistering pace--she backs off, covers up with her arms across her gut and draws some steam out of Lima. Adriana hits a lot of forearms and shoulders this round, but she does have success digging in behind the elbows, leaning over from side to side to open up Sayuki’s lower back. Nudging each other with shoulders--faces just inches apart--this is bruising, body on body warfare.
R4: Adriana comes right back at Sayuki as the grueling trench warfare continues. Girls hunching over more now, wrestling more on the inside--punching room starts to become a premium, walking each other back&forth, Lima having success with a little curling left uppercut to the sternum, then a blockbuster right hand out wide to the side. Matsumoto’s butt touches ropes for the first time as she clinches around Adriana’s waist, letting Brazilian slap at her back at the bell.
R5: Adriana pawing the jab, retreating in measured steps as Sayuki eagerly wades in. Matsumoto energized as she pounds a right hand partially through Lima’s guard., finding Brazilian chin—Sayuki pressing, eagerly hammering away wide as Adriana sets in her crouch. Lima bobbing low, waits on Matsumoto’s left hand, fits tidy right to body, twists and gets that CLANGING whipsaw left hook on the chops and DOWN GOES SAYUKI! Matsumoto rolling on the sand, flat on her back—she stiffly fights off the KO, struggling to her feet and pitching face first into ropes as Lima hungrily stalks the neutral corner. Swaying 8, ON COMES ADRIANA! Matsumto sleepy-eyed, pushing her hands out to forestall the inevitable: Lima punches raining down in irresistible sheets, shifting weight one foot to the other as she hauls in the harm—lefts and rights splattering off Sayuki, busting her and buffeting her—it’s all too much., Ref steps in to cradle a sobbing, battered Matsumoto from her own stubbornness—huffing, puffing, Adriana Lima the TKO5 victrix.
After: Adriana puffy, but beaming; good solid win for her over a well-respected veteran. Sayuki ragged, disconsolate, dropping four in a row for the first time in her career, simply pushed aside on the sand by a more willful vixen in this one.
