Intro:
Here we are kicking off tonights action in the Ice Hotel in Alaska with two big hard hitters, the Fighting Academies new signing Antje Utgaard takes on Robyn Lawley, both want to use tonight to create a statement in the welterweight division, will Robyn give Antje a heartbreaking first act under the Academy banner?
Coming into this fight Antje has won two of her last three fights over this calendar year, Robyn on the other hand has been struggling, losing her last six fights, in fact it was two years ago her last victory.
The fighters were interviewed in their gyms before the fight, Alicia Atout working for the FCBA Network first headed to the Fighting Academy gym, where Antje and her friend Charlotte McKinney have been training together for this card, Alicia watching them spar and embrace once they are done.
Once they head out the ring, Antje is the first to speak to Alicia, smiling warmly as she wipes her brow with a towel, Alicia gets a pat on her shoulder as the tall blonde greets her.
Asked about how the training is going, Antje smiles as she replies "well graciously my new manager allowed Charlotte to come train with me since we are both on this card, we still have each others back after our Front Street days together, she has always helped me out and now she is helping me get used to these new surrounds"
The subject then turns to how she is enjoying her new stable, Antje answers "it was hard losing the support from Wiz and the Front Street stable, they were my first family in this sport, I understand though that I hadn't proven myself when it came to the big fights, I don't hold any ill feelings to Wiz, in fact I would hug him if he come through that door now, hopefully I make him proud"
She then adds "now I have a new family who are going to help me out, already I've had a few sparring sessions with Karlie (Kloss) God is she amazing! I can learn so much here and I aim to do so" an excited look on her face as she talks about her future.
Finally the subject changes to the fight, Antje giggles as she says "well it is like Godzilla vs King Kong to some people right? Me and Robyn are both sluggers with power to topple buildings, it should be a good test for me, see how I do in a new environment to fighting in the Asylum, I need to showcase my talents" Alicia then heads over to Charlotte for that interview.
Robyn meanwhile is interviewed by Sarah Cummings of Gold & Green magazine, she has finished a run on the Gold Coast, wearing a red bikini as she takes a drink out of her water bottle looking on a good mood.
"God I want to keep warm for as long as I can before I go play in the ice box, I'll be going to do cold weather training next week, not looking forwards to it but whatever pays the bills right" Robyn says in a jokingly manner.
When asked about Antje, Robyn tells Sarah "I respect her though I think Old Wiz oversold her, she has been fed too much easy prey to understand what it is to be in the ring with real hard hitters, I am going to happily teach her what it is like to swim with the sharks" taking another drink, Robyn taps Sarah on the shoulder before jogging off the beach.
Fight night in the Ice Hotel, out first comes Antje with her new coach Kelly Hu, she wears a long fur coat, waving to the cameras as there is only a few guests at ringside to watch the fight.
Getting the coat taken off by Kelly, the big bubbly blonde is wearing a red one piece swimsuit with matching trunks, red gloves with fur lining, wearing fur boots, while her hair is tied into a ponytail, she raises her stretches as she talks to her coach about the fight.
Now out comes Robyn, she has her coach following as she has on a long green robe, looking serious as she wants to break her losing streak, bangs her green gloves with fur lining together.
Stepping into the ring in her corner, Robyn gets robe taken off to reveal a green one piece swimsuit with matching trunks, green fur boots as she stares daggers at Antje, bouncing on her toes as she listens to her coach.
The fighters come to the center of the ring, they lock eyes as they look intense, no words exchanged as this is simply business for them, the fact they know their opponent has a big right that could put their lights out at any moment in the fight helps focus the mind.
Banging their gloves into their opponent's, there is a loud crack of leather as they give the other a taste of their power, returning to their corners looking ready to get going, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.
Round 1:
Out they both come circling near the center, plenty of respect being shown in the opening minute, mostly single punches being thrown as neither wants to walk into a big right hand straight away.
This suits Robyn though as her extra height and reach seems to be giving Antje food for thought, the hard hitting American not used to someone making her feel small, more jabs and straights from Robyn landing squarely into her face.
But after that opening minute Antje shows off her impressive flexibility, slipping two punches before she counters with an overhand left to the jaw of Robyn, then landing an uppercut to knock back the Aussie a step.
Onwards comes Utgaard as she opens up now, keeping in close to Robyn as they both land stiff shots, the greater work rate comes from the blonde though as she keeps in tight, working the body especially of Lawley to make her groan out.
Final thirty seconds sees Robyn nudge back her opponent, drilling a jab/straight into her face to back off Antje, with Robyn stepping forwards with a left cross to the side of Antje's head just before the bell rings to end the round.
A good solid round for Antje, who nods to her coach as they discuss what they liked, while also telling her to be careful from shoves, counter when that happens the advice as Antje looks to be taking it all in.
Round 2:
Maybe realising she can't show Antje too much respect, Robyn now opens up more herself, both women landing stiff jabs and straights to any target they see is open, grunts escape both fighters as they move around the ring.
Robyn shows some of her own footwork to step back out the way of a left cross, pounding a straight into the top of her opponent's head, followed by a left cross of her own to turn Utgaard's head to the side.
Now it's Robyn turning up the heat as she backs up Antje, drilling her to the face with straight shots, herding the smaller fighter around the ropes, with Antje forced to tighten up her guard more under this assault.
Past the half way point with Robyn mostly being dominant, she misses though with a jab as Antje ducks it, two hooks bang into the ribs of Lawley to make her back off with a wince, Antje coming back at her as they trade at the center.
Things become a little scruffy as they fight it out on the inside, shoulders bump as they try to bully back their opponent, Antje looking the more comfortable in these exchanges, keeping herself compact.
Again though in the final moments of the round, she is caught with two cross punches near the side of her head, a straight snaps back her head just before the bell, Antje annoyed at herself getting caught cleanly at the end there.
Round 3:
Again Robyn comes out the gate strong, keeping Antje to the outside in the opening thirty seconds, banging in some stiff punches into the beautiful face of Utgaard, backing her up as she claims the ring center.
The skills of Antje though come on show as she slips a straight to bang in an uppercut to the body, an overhand left smacks Robyn onto her cheek as the American gets to the inside of Lawley's reach, forcing a heated exchange that she wins as she backs up Robyn.
Who is forced to cover up more as shockingly she is being manhandled into a corner, not many women can do that! Antje going to work on the body of Robyn as she tries to tighten her guard, ending up with Robyn pulling Antje into a clinch.
As they are broken apart, Robyn bangs her gloves together to release some of her frustration, she steps back when Antje is too keen to come on the attack, landing a right hook to the side of Antje's head now to turn her face around.
Robyn coming back at her as these two hard hitters go toe to toe, grunts and barks escape both fighters, cheeks starting to redden up as these hits are certainly not for the faint hearted, with the bell ringing to end the round with both staring coldly at the other before they turn back to their corners.
Round 4:
That reach of Robyn is still somewhat problematic for Antje at the start of rounds, Robyn drilling her to the forehead with jabs and straights, moving side to side to not make it easy for the blonde to close that gap.
Ducking down so she can get in closer, Antje manages to rifle in two body shots before she gets nudged back by Lawley, who lands a left cross/straight combo into the face of Utgaard.
Ending up being knocked back to the ropes, Antje has to clinch up after taking two straight shots into her face, a mouse is forming under her left eye as both women try to shove the other around, two big bulls showing whose the stronger in this ring.
After they are broken apart, Antje comes on hard, slipping a straight to hammer in two short sharp hooks to the body, then just grazing the chin of Robyn with an overhand left as the Aussie just leans back in time.
They are starting to fight more around the ring, Robyn doing her best to keep back Antje, who is relentless right now in her pursuit of the bigger woman, heads getting knocked back by hard hitting shots to the delight of those special guests at ringside.
The round comes to a close with both turning on their heels to return to their corners, sitting on their stools staring at each other as they are worked on by their corners, Robyn getting told by Kelly to get Antje under wraps soon.
Round 5:
Stepping back out their corners with determined looks on their faces, Antje is looking to come on stronger against Robyn, throwing more hooks to the body as she takes punches to the top of her head to ward her back.
A missed right though by Robyn leaves her open to an overhand left to her jaw, a follow up right across the chin has Robyn being knocked backwards as Antje starts to open up on her.
Into the second minute they go with Robyn trying to fight back, missing with a right hook, instead Antje lands a beautiful right hook of her own under the brunettes ribs, lifting them up and making Lawley wince.
A left crashes into the liver of Robyn to bend her over slightly, enough for a right hook to turn her head, A LEFT HOOK TO THE CHIN TURNS ROBYN AROUND AS SHE FALLS FLAT ONTO HER FACE TO THE JOY OF THE UTGAARD CORNER!
Antje whoops before she jogs to the neutral corner, that barrage of punches has her eyes lighting up as she watches the count, 1...2...3...4.. Robyn is groaning but not really stirring much, 5...6...7.. Turning her head so her left cheek is resting on the canvas, 8...9.. Robyn has her eyes closed as 10 she is counted out!
Winner Antje Utgaard KO Round 5
After:
A stunning knockout victory marks Antje's first win since leaving the Front Street stable and joining the Fighting Academy, while she has a mouse under her left eye along with redness forming on her cheeks, Antje is jumping for joy with her arms in the air.
The eyes of Robyn finally open as her coach kneels beside her, the loser sighs before saying "f***" before slowly rolling to her back, another defeat to the beautiful Aussie must be like getting pins in her heart, hard for her to comprehend what is going wrong.
While the winner jogs to her corner, high fives all round with her corner team as Antje is buzzing, Kelly telling her that she did a great job at figuring out how to beat someone actually bigger then her, Antje grinning like a Cheshire cat listening to the legendary coach.
Up to her feet goes Robyn, a little wobbly as her equilibrium is still a bit off, her coach helps her back to her stool, where Robyn stares at her feet as she can't believe what is happening, her coach trying to console her as they tell her not to be so hard on herself.
Heading to the ring center for the final result, Robyn doesn't complain about the result as she stands stone faced, Antje grins to the cameras as her left hand is raised by the referee, Utgaard jogs back over to her corner as Lawley leaves the ring.
Robyn hands on her hips looking to the ceiling as she heads to the back, wondering where a win is going to come from, her coach telling her not to focus too hard on the losses or she'll not be able to drag herself out them, hard to see how Robyn turns this around right now.
In the ring Antje poses, her left hand on her hip as her right arm is flexed, that big beaming smile doesn't look like it will be leaving anytime soon as she stares at the camera, her coaches applauding her before they step out the ring.
A bright future looks ahead for Antje, she has all the tools it seems to be a major star in the FCBA, question is can she put it all together when she reaches main events? Well tonight she proved she can win in adversity, next up she has Hilary Rhoda to prepare for on PPV.
