Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Another evaluation fight for the youngster Leni Klum but she really wants to beat up the athletic Olivia Culpo whom many pundits consider a true diamond in the rough if she could only find that confidence spark. Physical tools are all there but Olivia has struggled to take a mean punch too often so her overall record doesn't quite match that mythical upside yet.

Leni Klum wears a black bikini set & red gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a curled ponytail. Olivia Culpo wears a maroon bikini set & silver gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a sleek ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Neither woman holds back too much straight from the bell but it's Olivia who gets the early jumps and knocks hard leather into the youngster's face before looping a wicked hook on the ear that stuns Leni barely twenty seconds into the fight. Olivia doubles down on the aerial assault and keeps working the aggressive attack but Leni can move around very fast to avoid more trouble if only that prevents her from making any positive impression as it's all Culpo down the stretch hunting her down all the way towards the corner where she fires more bombs on target and slumps the German model behind a tight earmuff. Woof. Olivia tries to shove Leni through the ropes; she shakes off a late clinching attempt and lands a brutal hook on the nose right at the bell to sink the younger brunette into loud spasms in the process.

Round 2:
Leni is still affected by that poor opening round while Olivia goes for the early home run; she wants to blow the German girl up right here and right now! The jabbing chase resumes but Culpo only takes the artistic impression spoils - she struggles to inflict more damage on the otherwise reeling foe and somehow begins to lose her temper despite a wide performance gap advantage. She clobbers Klum onto the ropes but gets clinched into a stalemate since Leni shows off her athleticism and doesn't allow the former Miss Universe to bully her around in the proverbial phone booth. Olivia still takes the round wide alas Leni gives her a lenghty stare before the referee finally tells them to return to their corners.

Round 3:
Olivia goes for another slugging charge but walks into a counter-punching haze as Leni finally responds with a mean series fuelled by a lenghty pep talk from mum Heidi during the break. The elder Klum kept it quiet for six minutes but she orders a full-scale slugging attack and Olivia leaks a couple of vicious shots before the German model nails her with a cross-hooking double on the nose that wobbles the American onto her heels. Olivia tries to swing it from there but only find thin air while the younger brunette rails her with more head shots and duly pummels back onto the ropes in quick order. Culpo's footwork remains an issue and she relies on her physical strenght more than anything but nobody looks good when getting punched straight in the face which turns the final minute into a one-sided beating that slumps Olivia into loud spasms at the bell. Just like that - it's game on...

Round 4:
...for like twenty seconds since the first slugging charge leaves the American leaking blood from her nostrils and Leni piles it on from there spraying more paint on the canvas. Uh-oh!!! Most fans inside the arena didn't see this coming least of all the FMF entourage and the relentless head-hunting blast cripples Culpo into a stunning demise shortly after the one-minute mark when Klum lays her OUT with a booming right hook on the ear. Olivia drops flat on her back and doesn't even make a genuine effort to beat the count with more blood pouring from her busted nose. KO4 Leni Klum!!!

AFTER: This is one for the highlight reel as Leni looked toast in the opening two rounds and then she simply rolled Olivia over in ultra-quick fashion. Another piece of evidence just why the former Miss Universe can't get things rolling despite all the proverbial upside. That's hardly a problem for the Klum tag-team and Heidi admits she was convinced her mini-me will eventually blow the Culpo up: "Yeah, let's don't pretend like Leni is a finished product. She will have dire periods during fights but her power supply and mobility are vastly underrated. Feels like 1990s again when most boxing pundits thought models are only good enough for oil wrestling. Nope, we can still bash someone's face in and well, Miss Culpo learned it the hard way tonight!"

Official Result: Leni Klum def. Olivia Culpo KO4.
