Emily Ratajkowski versus Alicia Vikander
(Words: Caspian / Results: Lookout!)
Emily:
(27, 5’7, 19:11 FCBA, VIXENs)
Alicia:
(29, 5’5, 9:8 FCBA, The Fighting Academy)
BEFORE:
“Alicia's got a reputation around the locker room here. She got the better of Kyra awhiles back, and the rumours were swirling that Vikander was about to take her place on the roster. I can categorically say that those rumours are false.”
Emily nodding at reporters in the press room and taking verbal jabs at Alicia who’s literally seated at the other end of the table. She continues: “Tonight, I’m gonna prove that I’m at the top of the Bantamweight pecking order here, and no one is about to take that away.”
Alicia Vikander making her fourth appearance or so on VIX soil, but still flying the Academy colours behind her when it’s her turn to speak. “They must really like me around here,” Alicia responding with a smirk. “I’ve fought my way up the rankings one girl at a time, and I think it’s about time I beat VIX’s top girl in the division, don’t you?”
Girls are lean and mean at the podium, setting each other with firm looks as they place hands on hips and stare down face-to-face. Alicia is in black sports bra and grey tights, white gloves, whilst Emily is in white bra and panty set, red gloves on.
Later in the ring, little fanfare as both girls just want to get things started. Referee waves to accent and HERE we go with ten rounds of Bantamweight action!
ROUND 1:
Alicia goes into full on berserk mode at the start, flying towards Emily and battering her hard in the guard repeatedly. The Vixen has no choice but to cover up from the straight fists that are flying in, and takes a couple to the nose and lips before the rest are absorbed by both her arms. Still, Alicia is hellbent on rushing inwards, batting at Vixen’s the tummy with more lefts and rights. It's her chance to shine tonight and she knows it. Emily poking back out of her defences with a jab or two in between, but then gets her body jerked to the side again when Vikander rushes in close and swings mitts to the body. Not the greatest start for Emily here as she’s used as a personal punching bag throughout the three minutes.
ROUND 2:
But first rounds are like that - you have to let both girls test the waters with one another, but these two girls jumped straight into the water to see how deep it went. Emily now wading forward cautiously, more prepared for the eventual rush that comes her way. Alicia again initiating with a leap in and then jab jab jab to the arms, before her head gets knocked back when Emily returns fire with a sudden right cross! Ouch! Swedish girl better pay closer attention or she's gonna get knocked out by a lonely lingerie model from the US! They go at each other for a good minute, exchanging shots to the face and panting hard, then planting leather into the side of body any way they can. Emily is the one showing greater restraint here, backing away to evade before unleashing punishing swipes to Alicia’s face. Vikander getting knocked back a couple of steps in a daze before the bell saves her from another mad rush.
ROUND 3:
Girls more measured as we start the third, circling forward rather than flying at each other. Alicia in particular showing some more of that poise that complements her aggression, starts mimicking Emily's strategy of poking jabs at the head from afar and then scooting backwards to avoid. Emily ain't prepared for a taste of her own medicine, takes a few shots stunned to the nose before she covers up and retreats a couple of steps. Alicia smirking, pressuring the model with more punches, forcing Emily to look worse and worse the more they girls face off in close combat. Ratajkowski with no choice but to stamp her feet and go to town swinging as her best defence - the result is both girls wailing on each other at center ring, both scoring some crushing blows to the face in the final seconds of the round.
ROUND 4:
Alicia slightly stunned from that last foray, woozy even in between the rounds. But Emily's considered a wreck by comparison. Ratajkowski with her face red and breathing hard as she got the worse of the two-way exchange that last round. But that last minute rally saw Alicia slightly spooked as well, and not wanting to bite off more than she can chew. Emily defends herself early on with arms locked over her head, but Vikander not doing much either to give her trouble, jabbing away but most punches lacking any sting. Ratajkowski getting a much needed breather after three minutes of dancing and moving in opposite direction from her foe - she ain't gonna win this round for herself, but at least she's still standing by the end of it.
ROUND 5:
Alicia getting her course corrected by own trainers in the corner, and now she’s flying forward all of a sudden, hoping to build on her momentum. She's firing punches as though she’s in the very first round, shocking Emily to the arms over and over with lefts and rights galore, only to get savaged when a combo slams into her face right back! OUCH!! Emily having caught her breath and now wanting to dish back her own brand of punishment! Alicia forced to cover up as she gasps out loud. More punches begin landing all over however as Emily puts pressure back on, battering at the Swede's arms with hooks before blasting her in the middle of her tummy with a sharp right. Alicia’s the one who’s left a wreckage of her own when the bell finally rings, stumbling away and wondering what the hell happened compared to three minutes ago.
ROUND 6:
These girls really want to shine in this fight, which is effectively tied so far in terms of points. Alicia's stamina coming into play as we head into the second half - traditionally she has suffered in the long game. But you could say the same for Emily as well. The two girls stay away from each other early in the first minute, exchanging jabs from afar before avoiding each other's hooks altogether. Emily starts following her corner’s instructions and begins stepping forward to attack. Alicia surprised at the brunette's energy and backs away from her, appearing to defend well. But she can't keep up with the Vixen's torrent of punches that are landing all over her frame. Vikander grimacing as another hook lands on the side of her head, then GOES DOWN onto her side in a spectacular KNOCKDOWN from Emily Ratajkowski!
Best regards to the Swede actress here as she struggles to rise back up, her face filled with abject pain as her opponent struts her way back to corner. Emily puckering those lips as she soaks in the cheers of the fans. Can she really win this crucial match? Vikander at the count of 7 and still left hanging on both her knees, both arms hanging onto the ropes but lacking the strength to go all the way back up… the referee hits the ten-count and it's all over!!
Official Decision: Emily Ratajkowski defeats Alicia Vikander via KO6!
AFTER:
Brave soul from Ratajkowski tonight as she defies the expectations against her, putting away a dangerous opponent at the end of six rounds.
“I can't believe it. We were giving each other hell back there, but she just couldn't keep up with me I guess!” Emily saying to reporters later on with a wide smile on her face.
Alicia looking pale by comparison still lying prone on the ground and being attended to by medics and corner staff. Her loss tonight puts a damper on her title ambitions in the long run, and begins to highlight that the Vixen just might be the real deal after all.
