Intro:
The fifth fight tonight sees Karolina Kurkova take on Georgia Salpa, the first round of the European Cup here in the National Stadium in Ireland, who will make it to the quarter final.
Some would say these two have been unlucky drawing each other, both seen as being able to go further if they had an easier draw, instead they are going to have go through each other to get a match with either Alina Vacaria or Elisabetta Canalis.
The day before the fight they were both on a stage in front of the press, Karolina smirking at Georgia as she has her hands on her hips, looking over the Greek stunner, while Georgia stares hard at her.
Getting a microphone each, Karolina says "god I am shocked you are in this tournament Georgia, I mean like your country you are a failure" grinning as she sees her fellow model stare daggers at her.
"I mean hell when I hear people say how unlucky we both were to get each other, I laugh my head off, you are just a busty bimbo with no talent" Karolina really going for her opponent verbally.
Georgia fires back "Karolina I've wanted to fight you for a long time, shut your filthy mouth" moving closer to the Czechoslovakian model, security moving in case the fight kicks off.
"I can't wait to make you kiss my ass in front of the world" says Karolina as she taps her backside, Georgia snarling as she tosses her microphone down, annoyed by Kurkova.
Both separating as they head off the stage, Karolina looking confident she has gotten into the head of Georgia, her coach Melanie Brown laughing when Karolina is with her.
Fight night; out comes Karolina with Mel beside her, she struts down the aisle as she wears a red robe, a cocky grin on her beautiful face as Mel is telling her to put that bimbos lights out.
The robe is taken off, Karolina is wearing a red sports bra, matching trunks, shoes and gloves, her blonde hair is tied back into a fighting ponytail.
Stepping inside the ring, Karolina walks around the ring, arms out at her side as she takes in her fans cheers, settling into a corner as she waits for her opponent.
With Georgia heading out with Nicole Ritchie with her, she heads down the aisle with her eyes firmly on the ring, slamming a few fans hands as she goes, she looks more interested in getting her hands on Karolina though.
She is wearing a white sports bra with light blue trim, matching trunks and boots, blue gloves with white thumbs, while her brunette hair is tied back into a braid.
Getting inside the ring, Georgia thuds her gloves together, bouncing on her toes as she stares squarely at her opponent, Georgia is told by Nicole to keep her head on and not lose her temper.
The fighters go nose to nose as they come together at the center of the ring, the referee has to nudge them apart as even their coaches are staring daggers at each other, plenty of ill feeling here.
Neither touches gloves when prompted with their opponent, just turning back to their corners, ready to start 10 rounds of lightweight action.
Round 1:
Coming out their corners, both probe the others defences as they move around the center of the ring, Karolina just missing with some big right power punches.
Instead as they land more leather, Georgia dips under a left cross to move to the hammer in two rights under the ribs of Kurkova, moving back when she takes a cuffing right across the top of her head.
While Karolina lands some nice jabs with her extra reach over Salpa, she is making a few too many mistakes to really control the action, allowing the Greek fighter to slip inside to land some nice counter combos, before Georgia moves back to the outside.
A minute to go and Karolina gets caught with an uppercut, her head goes back as she starts getting powered back to the ropes, showing Georgia isn't simply a good boxer, she also has some power behind her punches.
Karolina covering up as Georgia tries to break her down, the referee needed to split them up at the bell as Karolina gets right into the face of the brunette, both women chesting up to each other before they calm down enough to return to their corners.
Round 2:
Heading back out for more action, Karolina is told to box behind her jab more, she seems to have listened as she is landing more right hands straight into the top of her opponent's head to knock her to the outside.
Georgia shows off her upper body movement to dodge a right, stepping in to dig two lefts to the body, a right slams across the boobs of the Czech fighter to make her hiss out.
The opening minute sees a good back and forth flow from the fighters, Karolina stinging the cheeks of Georgia, who in turn finds a way inside to work the body of the taller fighter.
Trying to duck down to move in closer, Georgia gets caught to the side of her head with a right hook, a double jab presses her back towards the ropes.
Where Karolina nearly headbutts her, crowding Georgia to stifle her punching power, while she loads up with hooks and some uppercuts to make Salpa cry out till she can clinch up.
At the bell Karolina smiles as she returns to her corner, a much better round for her after a slow opening round, Mel telling her to keep pestering her opponent, make her slip up and punish her is the message from her coach.
Round 3:
Using more feints now to work her way in, Georgia is landing a more varied punch selection to keep Karolina on her toes, landing some beautiful overhand lefts that turn the head of the blonde.
Who adds a double jab to her arsenal in this fight, both fighters experienced enough to make changes on the fly, giving the other a headache as they suddenly have something else to worry about.
Timing her attack better, Georgia deflects a jab to hammer in a left hook to the jaw of Karolina, she lands the follow up uppercut to push back the tough Lioness Club fighter to her heels.
Backed onto a set of ropes with her guard, Karolina looks to be gritting her gumshield tighter as this is the last place she wants to be, Georgia landing several clean hooks to the body before she is pushed back so Karolina can get off the ropes.
Late in the round Georgia again catches her opponent with an overhand left, Karolina's right is too low to block it and she finds herself backed into a corner just as the bell rings.
The Lookout! Corner looking happier with how things played out there, another strong round for Georgia, Nicole though reminding her not to get lax, Karolina is a dangerous fighter for anyone.
Round 4:
Continuing where she left off at the end of the last round, Georgia landing a double jab to the abs of her opponent, getting clipped to the top of her head with a straight to push her back.
They move around the center trading jabs, Georgia again lands an overhand left, the cheek of Karolina starting to swell up, with the Greek fighter driving back Kurkova to the ropes.

Now it's Georgia getting knocked back to the ropes, her head getting snapped back as Karolina is looking to knock it off her shoulders, they end up clinched back as the referee struggles to break them apart.
Final thirty seconds of the round, Karolina misses with a left hook, eating a straight into her chest, before a left smacks across her boobs to make her snarl at her.
The bell rings with both women giving their opponent a cold stare, heading towards their corners with coaches washing them down, Nicole smiling as she wipes down Salpa.
Round 5:
Stepping back to the ring center, Georgia lands some nice punches straight into the abs and chest of Karolina, the opening forty seconds looks like the round will go the same way as the last two rounds.
Instead though as Georgia goes to dip down, Karolina reads her coming at her, landing an uppercut to knock back Georgia, with a left hook turning the head of the Greek fighter.
Another left hook looks to rock Georgia as it lands right on her chin, Karolina bashing back her opponent into a corner, opening a cut on the bridge of Salpa's nose to the delight of her corner.
Clinching up with Karolina, Georgia looks like she needs a moment to get her head cleared, she has gotten the full taste of Kurkova's power and certainly didn't like it.
Once apart Georgia is getting hit easier, a double jab knocks her head back as she is getting too open, the power of Karolina knocking her back step by step.
The round ends with Karolina flexing her right arm as she returns to her corner, Melanie wiping her face down as she tells her fighter "you've got her hurt, keep battering her till she is wishing she hadn't got into the ring with you"
Across the ring Georgia has her nose worked on, Nicole says "I told you to be careful, don't let that bytch get such an easy hit on you" Georgia nodding as she moves to go back out for the next round.

Starting to stir awake, the first sight Georgia sees is Karolina posing over her, she looks shuts her eyes again as she can be heard mumbling "bytch" while Karolina smirks at her.
Letting Nicole get to Georgia, Karolina and Mel laugh as they return to their corner, arms around the others shoulders, maybe the happiest they've been in a while knowing the importance of this win.
Georgia is helped up to her feet by Nicole, she looks down at her feet as she doesn't want to show how upset she is, with Nicole deciding to help her out the ring and to the back.
