Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Clash of generations here in the second fight of the European Cup as Lorena Rae vows to make quick work of Olga Kurylenko and book a high-profile rematch with Sandra Kubicka next month. Olga realizes these young models are very arrogant at times and hopes that Lorena underestimates her challenge: "Look, it's been a while since I won a fight BUT I can still put these cocky bimbos away! Lorena is a raw project, she's landed this Victoria's Secret job but she's not the next best thing whatsoever. I feel she's pretty soft in the gut and this is where I'm gonna punish her!"

Meanwhile Lorena is confident she can dominate the brunette veteran and she's simply the better woman: "Olga has the experience but c'mon! If I can't beat up a woman on the wrong side of 40 then I should be doing something else for a living! Claudia Schiffer and Heidi Klum booked a cougar clash for the PPV so it's about time to remind them there's a new player in town! We don't really need these German cougars anymore when I'm available!" (giggles).

Lorena Rae wears a white one-piece swimsuit & golden gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a sleek ponytail. Olga Kurylenko wears a black bikini set & yellow-blue gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a custom ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Lorena sets the tone early and blasts the older brunette straight up the middle to expose Olga's somewhat leaky high guard. If the French-Ukrainian hoped for a slow start then she truly gets blitzed by the aggressive youngster who shows her little respect and seemingly wants to knock her head off inside the opening minute here! Olga struggles to match the German's intensity and does little to punish that alleged soft gut while getting pounded in the face herself! Lorena wants blood and barks in her efforts, she wobbles Kurylenko onto her heels and backs her onto the ropes with a sustained head-hunting attack which the older brunette can only tame while clinching her rival. But Lorena shakes the actress off and belts her in the breadbasket before resuming the aerial storm to bury Olga behind a desperate earmuff come the bell.

Round 2:
Olga has to slug her way back into contention following that dismal opening round but she can't quite beat Lorena in the trigger-happy exchange and soaks up more punishment up the middle. The German model gives her a couple of visible lumps on both cheeks already and Kurylenko finally sticks her mitts into her jugs when she realizes she's getting roughed up here. Lorena misses a couple of bombs herself and wobbles forward with Kurylenko ripping those body shots she planned all along and Rae looks a little vulnerable as she yelps in pain for a while. This only fuels Olga's attacks but she fails to trap Rae on the turnbuckle and has to settle for another aerial exchange as the younger brunette tries to regain the jabbing command. The Irish crowd enjoys the slugging contest despite no clear winner being declared at the bell.

Round 3:
Kurylenko moves a little faster across the canvas early in the third and lures Rae into a counter-punching exchange that affects the German's jabbing volume. Lorena tries to taunt her foe into a straight-up slugging contest but has to chase her around thereafter and gets picked off on the counter as Olga lands the better punches in close range before blasting the taller brunette on the midsection. Lorena doesn't like that at all but misfires on the turn and eats a stray elbow in the chest which allows Olga to rip a harpoon series and dump the German onto the ropes. Olga blasts the exposed midsection and rallies to lock Lorena behind a tight earmuff and that's very much a surprising turn of events as the French-Ukrainian veteran dominates the final minute pounding away at the subdued model to actually raise more noise inside the stadium. She belts Rae on the liver area and bends her to the side before adding another piercing hook on the boobs that makes the VS model gurgle in pain at the bell.

Round 4:
Olga is set to defy the pre-fight odds as she powers ahead with more pesky jabs and tries to chop Lorena in half busting her in the guts during the initial tangle but the German neutralizes the onslaught when she nails the older brunette with a big hook on the ear. Olga was so glued on punishing Rae's midriff she failed to register that aerial bomb and when she tries to swing back over the top, Lorena gets there first and NAILS her on the lips again to wobbles her on the heels in the process. Olga barks in anger but still wants to push off yet Lorena uses her supreme reach to SMOKE her with a brutal double on each temple and Kurylenko folds forward to meet a crushing uppercut on the jaw THAT LIFTS HER OFF THE CANVAS and sends crashing down on her back moments later!!! Big time punch from the German model who struts back to her corner and that's more than enough to leave Olga in all sorts of bother. She sits up at six but looks shaken up alright and her recovery attempt bounces off the gravity wall as she's forced to sit down on her heels when the count reaches ten!!! KO4 Lorena Rae!!!

AFTER: Youth tames experience in the second fight of the European Cup and sets up a classic Poland vs Germany rematch in the quarter-finals. However Lorena is still upset with her performance as she allowed Olga to steal a couple of rounds instead of simply blasting her away in similar fashion to Sandra Kubicka's punchout of Irina Shayk just few minutes ago. Given that Lorena lost to Sandra on the Fight Night Live twelve months ago, that artistic impression value actually matters something for a change: "Geez, I won so let's cut the nonsense! Okay, so Sandra beat me last time we met but I will get my revenge! That's a frickin' promise! Some folks think I'm soft in the gut. Sheesh.. just ask Olga about it! She licked me a couple of times but my jaw-breaking power will smoke anyone who dares to insult me like that! It's only a matter of time!"

Meanwhile Olga admits that Lorena can land a heavy punch but she's not anything special: "The kid talks a lot but I said all these VS models are soo arrogant. Lorena has learned her lessons quick. Somehow I don't think she goes past this Polish blonde next but I couldn't care less myself. Maybe I should fight Heidi Klum next? That's one German I can definitely blow away!" (winks).

Official Result: Lorena Rae def. Olga Kurylenko KO4.
