Doutzen Kroes (Netherlands) vs Bianca Kajlich (USA)
(Lookout! Atlantic Boxing vs FCBA Free Agent)
(0-1 vs 6-4, 6 KO)
Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago
BEFORE: Doutzen Kroes is one of the three Dutch fighters active on tonight's PPV and comes with the highest pedigree on the back of her lenghty reign as BBU Lightweight champion. However she turned 32 earlier this year and doesn't have as much time on her hands to make an impact on the American market as her fellow compatriot Romee Strijd, ten years her junior. Moreover Kroes makes her FCBA welterweight debut tonight (after browsing Taylor Cole down at lightweight last July) and could remain north side of the 130 lbs going forward to make her American dream come true.
Meanwhile Bianca Kajlich remains a solid contender among the welterweight gatekeeping pack despite losing her last two fights to date. This is still the same woman who absolutely wiped the canvas with fellow big hitters Tyra Banks and Stacy Keibler before so a challenge from a rival best known for her BBU lightweight dominance won't make her burst under the expectations.
Doutzen Kroes wears a sizzling orange bikini set and blue gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a curly ponytail. Bianca Kajlich wears a silver bikini set and red gloves. Long light brown hair tied in a sleek ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the welterweight division.
Round 1:
Doutzen's speed makes the early difference as she loops several clean strikes to put a lot of heat on the American's high guard. Bianca is well known for her power but not exactly lithe movement and it takes her plenty of time to adjust to the fast-pace attacks of the taller model. On the other hand Doutzen is used to dominate the action from the front so she really enjoys repeatedly splitting Kajlich's guard however she fails to back her into the ropes and soaks up a late flurry of midsection shots that allow Bianca to salvage some pride during a one-sided opener.
Round 2:
Bianca avoids getting caught upstairs and moves a little faster on her feet while looping promising harpoons on the blonde's ribcage. Doutzen remains glued to the aerial attacks but becomes really erratic in the one-dimensional pursuit and eats a little too many of Kajlich midsection strikes which forces her back come the second minute. Both women circle around each other in mid-range for a while before a spirited attack downstairs allows Kajlich to break the blonde's resilience and dump her into a low cover. Kroes struggles to stretch her elbows in close range and gets stacked against the ropes but the actress runs out of time to make further progress.
Round 3:
More piercing harpoons wreck havoc in Douzten's midsection and as she tries to bump the older woman off from the uncomfortable close range stance, she loses her balance after looking to land a swift hook on the jaw. Bianca has send her opposition packing in one-punch fashion before so she tackles the exposed area and NAILS the Dutchwoman on the lips before blasting her across the solar plexus for a good measure. Ugh! Kroes slides onto the ropes trying to catch her breath but fails to embrace a hooking left/right combo that quickly tags her chin again AND FORCES HER DOWN ON HER KNEES in shocking fashion! That's not the best showing for someone so feared over in the BBU but it's another case of brutal welterweight reality and Kajlich knows how to land a punch or two! She has Kroes trembling at the eight count but the lingerie model fends off the disaster and launches immediate response after the command - seemingly going all-in and exposing herself even more. However Bianca blocks off the counter and if only she lands a swift hook on the liver, she'd be sending Kroes all the way back to the Netherlands in no time! Alas she misses it and gets wrapped in a lenghty clinch thereafter.
Round 4:
Kroes recovers from the knockdown to inject more stalemate into the action. She needs to apply a Plan B into this bout as Bianca's midsection assault opened too many holes and left the lingerie model vulnerable all over the place. Thankfully for the Lookout entourage, Bianca settles down into the annoying wrestling tactics applied by the blonde and both women waste plenty of time in fruitless shoves that bring us no closer to real boxing action. Even the crowd doesn't like that but there's no real sense of urgency in the ring to overturn the disappointing display before the clock runs out.
Round 5:
Douzten jumps in for the hooking combo and catches the older woman on the left eye before blasting a left hook on the temple that suddenly wobbles the US veteran on her heels. Bianca tries to swing back from the back foot but the execution isn't there and she cuts thin air while Kroes NAILS her with a left hook on the jaw and immediately dumps onto the tunbuckle with a loud whimper! Ugh! Here comes the blonde with an almighty push and she takes full advantage of Bianca's gloves being dropped too low... it doesn't take much to dent a huge hole in the welters and Kroes whacks her subdued foe straight on the nose with a vicious left before a piercing right cracks the jaw again... AND THAT'S TOO MUCH FOR BIANCA who slides down against the turnbuckle!!! She's not as durable as she was before but that's still a shocking turn of events for the partisan crowd! Kajlich settles for the full eight count before recovering but remains glued to the ropes rest of the way and the Dutch model has a field day thumping more clean hooks through the guard leaving Bianca's face significantly swollen at the bell!
Round 6:
Bianca is really slow on her feet now, she's still eight years older than the former BBU champion and Doutzen knows that uncertain look in the American's eyes... she immediately cranks it up and dissects Bianca's guard on the spot while thumping away in fury like she's in the middle of her European championship reign again... and Kajlich simply can't take it for much longer anymore... her head gets rocked back & forth and as she begins to groan in spasms the pressure mounts on the referee to do something about it. When one of Kroes' precise hooks tears a patch under Bianca's right eye, the American cries out her loudest and drops her guard so low that it's almost an act of mercy when a thunderous uppercut nails her on the chin AND SENDS CRASHING DOWN ON THE CANVAS with eyes closed. And there's no coming back from that kind of a shot north side of 130 pounds! KO6 Douzten Kroes in come-from-behind fashion!!!
AFTER: This could be the result that permanently removes Bianca from the gatekeeping contenders and allows Douzten to emerge as another force to be reckoned with instead. While Romee Strijd remains the Dutch blue chip prospect, apparently there is still heavy demand for BBU's best pound-for-pound performers to try their chances at the whole crossover idea. Besides, Doutzen's age doesn't rule her out from making her presence felt among the welters where time passes by a little slower than in the other three weight divisions.
Final result: Doutzen Kroes def. Bianca Kajlich KO6.
