(34, 5’6, 115, 46:17 FCBA, VIXENS)
Rachel:
(37, 5’7, 0:5 FCBA, The Fighting Academy)
BEFORE:
Two South American beauties are on the semi-final card tonight, with the crowds absolutely on their feet to welcome one of their own back to the Estadio Luna Park. Luisana all smiles and waves as she strides into the arena in a pure-white bra and briefs set, black shimmering shawl over both her shoulders.
“I’m so glad to be home, and representing my country,” Luisana says later by ringside. “And though Rachel is also from near these parts, she doesn’t know these fans like I do. I don’t intend to disappoint them.”
Barnes looks cocky in her stride to the ring earlier as well, entering to a healthy roar of greetings from the crowd. The Fighting Academy starlet hasn’t had the best success in the ring, but she’s got the height and mass advantage in this contest.
“I know I’m coming in as the underdog tonight, but it doesn’t matter. Luisa may be your girl, but I promise not to mess up her face… too much!” Barnes says in the other corner of the ring, to a chorus of jeers and boos.
Barnes rocking a dark green sports bra and fighting briefs, banging together white gloves as she awaits the opening bell. HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Bantamweight action!
ROUND 1:
Luisa roars inwards with the backing of the crowd, immediately landing punches on Rachel’s arms and digging leather into her ribs to the side. Barnes is made of tough stuff, absorbing these attacks with grunts, slowly moving back to negate some of the shock and strength. She’s blocking and blocking, then cuffing Luisa back with a sudden overhand to the mouth, but there’s simply no denying the Vixen the first round of aggression. Lollipop shrugs the counterattacks off with a snarl, then rams another fist into Rachel’s nose to drive her back each time. Barnes looks shocked by the time the bell rings, stumbling to find her footing in just the first round. But after the adrenaline wears off for both girls will we see true boxing action…
ROUND 2:
Barnes is no longer backing off, instead opting to meet Luisa in the center of the ring to THROW DOWN! Mutual shouts of pain and exertion as girls take turns turning each other’s heads to the side with a fist shoved into the cheek or chin, then going after the body with more digging hooks to the ribs and sides! Ouch, ouch, and more ouch! Luisa, not used to the counter-aggression this early in the fight, can’t keep pace with the slighter stockier girl… Barnes delivers another hook to the temple, which sends her staggering off to the side with her mouth open! Barnes follows her, continuing to plug leather into her sides, in and around the arms, till the bell rings to save Lopilato from disaster! A good counter for the challenger and underdog, who smiles and pumps an fist on the way back to her corner!
ROUND 3:
Rachel continues to push in, hounding Luisa’s arms and head with jab combos before wrecking her with a powerful cross of swinging hook that lands hard and shoves her several paces backwards each time. Luisa’s having trouble dealing with her opponent’s power, and is slowly starting to employ counter-punching strategies to make it work. Another hook is narrowly dodged with a weave backwards, enabling the Vixen to catch Rachel back on the chin once or twice. But Barnes simply counters this counter with more speed and aggressive moves into the pocket, rocking the blonde with another lunging hook to the tummy before an uppercut is driven right up in between the arms, blasting them wide open. Before Barnes can deliver the killing blow, the bell rings, and Luisana looks hella shattered on the ropes, breathing hard and wondering how she’s gonna make it another seven rounds at this pace.
ROUND 4:
Luisa storms in to meet Rachel regardless, throwing caution to the wind for the third time and seeing whether that changes the equation! She certainly has the home crowd on her side, who roar and cheer as she lands a clean hook off the cheek, which stuns and staggers Barnes to the side with a groan. But Barnes comes back almost immediately, burying a glove into her ribs, another landing on the side of the blonde’s ear to stun her. Girls get into multiple close-quarters clinches, wrestling with each other’s arms around their chests, but it’s also to catch their breaths. Barnes struggles in such a hold, getting tagged on the tummy by Luisa’s free fists digging into her abs to slightly edge her out by the bell.
ROUND 5:
Barnes refuses to go down or lose her momentum, however, throwing an early feint to Luisa’s head before RAMMING a right cross straight into her body! OUCH! Lopilato’s folded over with a groan, backing away on instinct with both arms covering up her torso! HERE COMES BARNES, not showing any mercy as she lights up the blonde’s face with more punches, trying to drive her into the ropes and then DOWN into the canvas! Crowds are cheering both women on, one side eager for action, the other wanting their Luisa to stay alive! Barnes continues shoving fists into Luisa’s waistline on the ropes, the Argentinian fighter holding on with a firm clinch at times, and at others, disrupting Barnes’ assault with a swift overhook of her own to the head. Bell rings and it’s Barnes’ best round thus far, having dominated the action through and through. Can she capitalize on her momentum, however, as we head into the second half of the fight?!
ROUND 6:
Barnes looks confident as she takes her first steps out of the corner, looking to finish this. Luisa surprisingly meets her halfway, and as expected, has moments to react before Barnes tries to knock her out with a brimming right hook to the head! But Luisa swerves at the last moment, avoiding it by the skin of her teeth! BLAMM!! Uppercut lands square instead on the base of Barnes’ chin, sending her head cascading upwards, then the rest of her body sagging, as though her strings were cut!! OUCH indeed! Lopilato’s turn to PUSH IN, hammering away at the dazzled girl’s body and shoving her face from side to side with hook after hook to cheek! Rachel’s fortunes turn in a flash, now desperately covering up as she gets pushed into the ropes, trying to clinch up and wrap arms around Luisa’s shoulders but not without taking a couple of chops to the belly, Luisa getting in her lick’s worth of payback! Referee has to wrestle them apart multiple times, but the Vixen merely rushes in to try and finish Barnes off after the bell rings to resume. SHUTOUT performance right back for Lopilato at the bell, who shows everyone she’s still in this fight!
ROUND 7:
Barnes looks wilted, her shoulders slumped and her chest heaving, sluggishly coming out of the gate at the bell! Luisa with an equally slow start, but quickly begins to pick up the pace as more and more of her punches land clean! Barnes moves her arms about but she’s just too slow at this stage, soaked up too much punishment to react. Luisa connects with jabs to her nose and lips before stuffing her body with straight gloves. Flashes of defiance from Barnes in the middle minute as she stands her ground and attempts to brawl with the incoming Vixen. Luisa takes a blast to her jaw but quickly recovers with one of her own to send the Fight Acad starlet spinning in the other direction. Barnes in trouble, taking a few more shots straight to the face before a crunching uppercut lands on the base of her chin, and SHE CRUMPLES ON THE SPOT, letting out a final groan before collapsing to the canvas, completely KO’ed! Referee rushes in to take one final look at her, and WAVES the fight off! It’s Luisa’s win at the end of seven grueling rounds, via knockout!
Official Decision: Luisana Lopilato defeats Rachel Barnes via KO7!
AFTER:
Pumping fists in the air as Luisana parades around the ring, blowing air kisses as she mounts each second turnbuckle and waves enthusiastically to her fans.
“It’s an amazing experience, fighting in one’s home country. I know Rachel put up one heck of a fight, and I promise her we’ll definitely do this again,” Luisana says to reporters later by ringside. “2022 ended on a sour note, but as you all can see, I ain’t hanging up my gloves anytime soon. I’ve come too far to quit now!”
