BEFORE: One would have thought Chrissy Teigen has all the physical tools to become a force in the welterweight division but her pitiful record indicates she will remain a work in progress for lack of a better word. Meanwhile Dutch model Marloes Horst has started her FCBA career with two defeats but those came at the hands of Hannah Ferguson and Brooklyn Decker so it truly doesn't get any tougher than that and the Frisian blonde has targeted a more manageable opponent to finally get off the mark.

We are live on a private beach in Aruba with a selected group of fans gathered around the makeshift ring. Both models appear to be a little nervous as they kick the sand during the introductions, Marloes gets the louder ovation based on Aruba being a Dutch constituency after all and we're ready to kick off the Friday beach boxing action moments later.

Chrissy Teigen wears a blue bikini set & silver gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a curled ponytail. Marloes Horst wears a leopard print bikini set & orange gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a custom ponytail. Both women are barefoot. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the welterweight division.

Round 1:
Chrissy jumps the gun on a slugging delivery clearly hoping to upstage the local favorite right away and she manages to stick a meaningful series up the middle before a booming right hook finds the jaw and wobbles the blonde to her heels. More solid hooks follow but Marloes locks them out with her forearms yet she has to yield real estate to catch a quick breather and Chrissy chases her around the ring trying to add to her early advantage. She takes the artistic impression points but doesn't really hurt the fellow model and spends majority of the round bouncing off her forearms to leave plenty of room for improvement. Marloes shakes off those efforts and shouts back at the brunette at the bell to earn more support from the audience.

Round 2:
Another aggressive jump from Teigen but this time she gets quickly neutralized as Horst ups the slugging tempo and slices the brunette's high guard with relative ease in the opening minute. More hits crash into the American's face thereafter and she drops out of the attacking zone biding her time in mid-range until Marloes closes her down and bullies back to the ropes where she switches her targets downstairs to score some easy shots with Teigen all covered up and unable to find the answer. Marloes doesn't give a 100% effort here but she doesn't have to in all honesty with the older model looking listless on defense to say the very least. Cue in more loud screams from the Aruba audience at the bell.

Round 3:
Chrissy tries to regain her mojo but misses out on the initial drive and has to embrace another body assault from the charging blonde. She manages to survive that attempt and lands a wild hook on the ear that briefly stuns the local favorite which in turn allows Teigen to rack up a solid uppercut series that clips the blonde's jugs before going further north. Marloes loses her balance but avoids more trouble spinning away into mid-distance. Chrissy chases her down to land a promising hook but these single shots still don't really punish the Dutch woman who dances around on her toes and taunts Teigen into another largely fruitless attack thereafter. Both models clash heads in the closing stages to pour more cold water on the action and there are some heated arguments in each corner during the interval.

Round 4:
Marloes gets the better start into the fourth when she lines out into the brunette's midsection and keeps blasting away in fury to drop Chrissy into loud spasms much sooner than in the previous rounds. Technically it's not that hard to break Teigen's resilience based on her overall record but Marloes finally finds the right power supply to dominate the action outright. She pounds the American back to the ropes and profits from a weak response that catches all of the forearms for the best part. Chrissy tries to escape the trap but doesn't have the power nor agility right here so she has to slug it out and gets outmuscled badly to the point she disappears behind a tight earmuff but Horst still whacks her in the open ribcage to close out a dominant round.

Round 5:
Chrissy goes for a desperate heave but only finds thin air and gets blasted from the inside by a ruthless uppercut double. Marloes goes into full swarmer mode and hammers jackhammer punches into the brunette's face which results in a nasty cut across the nasal ridge that makes Teigen blow up on the spot. She wobbles forward to somehow find a clinching respite but gets tacked with another uppercut blast that NAILS her on the chin with supreme force... AND DOWN SHE GOES... Chrissy's chin just can't take that much punishment and she gets laid out on the sand amid a wild cheer from the Aruba patrons. Ugh! It's one of these knockdowns you can wave off almost right away and Chrissy descends into a spread eagle demise to make it official. KO5 Marloes Horst who takes her maiden FCBA victory in style!

AFTER: Adding more talent to the welterweight division is never a bad thing and Marloes might be a little late to the party but she vows to eclipse Doutzen Kroes' FCBA numbers when it's all said and done. Romee Strijd might be the designated Dutch leader and the likes of Valerie van der Graaf and Daphne Groeneveld suddenly make the Oranje contingent look extremely loaded if they ever get a chance to compete in a team event of some kind! Cue in the drinks for Marloes tonight as she is set to celebrate her well-earned success long into the Caribbean night!

Official Result: Marloes Horst def. Chrissy Teigen KO5.
