Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago
BEFORE: The rise of Sandra Kubicka has demoted Karolina Kurkova to second-fiddle player on the Lioness Club roster but that's right where Amy Willerton wants to start building her stock on this side of the Atlantic. The former Miss GB opened her FCBA account with a stunning punchout of Dakota Johnson last month and she's widely picked to defeat the Czech veteran as well. However Kurkova dismisses the media predictions and claims she's still got plenty of juice left in the tank and "younger doesn't mean better" whatsoever!
Karolina Kurkova wears a light blue bikini set & black gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a sleek ponytail. Amy Willerton wears a pink bikini set & silver gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a sleek ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.
Round 1:
Karolina goes in aggressive and chops Amy's high guard before launching a steady jabbing attack the younger blonde struggles to embrace in the opening minute. Amy tries to fire back over the top but fails to match the fellow blonde's intensity and eats more shots up the middle which only fuel Kurkova's desire to stay in the slugging lane. The Czech model manages to clobber the subdued opponent onto the ropes where Willerton finally shows an improved defense but Karolina keeps laying down the jabbing law and runs away with more accurate punches the English woman can't block down the stretch.
Round 2:
Amy gets more aggressive herself and neutralizes Karolina's ambitious attacks which leads into a back & forth slugging exchange in the center of the ring. She beats the older blonde for one quick left/right double before dropping more body shots that catch Kurkova off guard. Amy leans into the ribcage assault and harpoons her way into full control as Karolina stumbles to her heels and suddenly looks vulnerable. Willerton keeps plugging the zone and backs the older model onto the ropes where she shuts her down with more belting menace as Kurkova slumps into quiet spasms at the bell instead.
Round 3:
Another body assault allows Amy to whack the Czech model around the ring and she finds more confidence to the point she almost becomes too careless and eats a brutal uppercut on the jaw as Karolina tries to regain her mojo back. However the single punch only enrages the former Miss GB who tackles her to the body with more venom and the otherwise predictable attack still does the trick as Kurkova wobbles to her heels and gets chopped onto the ropes where she struggles to match the Brit's intensity. She clips her rack during a failed recovery effort but Amy barks in her efforts and slugs her with another left/right combo on the chin before tearing into her guts again and the ref has to pull the charging Brit off at the bell with Karolina gasping for air and looking drained here already.
Round 4:
Karolina catches the steaming fellow blonde with a quick left/right combo but fails to follow through and spends majority of the opening minute chasing her around the area in futile fashion. She can't quite land that power punch to tame Willerton's slugging ordeal and gets whacked over the top down the stretch as the British model shows some head-hunting prowess to stop the Czech foe in her tracks. Both women keep slugging the aerial drive with questionable revenue before Kurkova finds some body assault joy herself and bends Amy to the side. She pummels her onto the ropes with a late effort but runs out of time to inflict serious damage as Willerton clinches her into safety just before the bell.
Round 5:
Karolina jumps into a hectic jabbing assault and clips Amy's chin but then gets caught from the inside as the British model powers ahead with an uppercut combo before catching her on the ear with a vicious hook. Ugh! Kurkova sinks on jelly knees and wobbles forward with a loud whimper just as the younger blonde SMOKES her with a brutal uppercut on the jaw one more time... DOWN GOES KURKOVA!!! The blonde veteran slumps to her side and looks badly rattled upon impact... Amy quicks struts back to her corner and the count isn't slow enough for Karolina to recover... she makes a desperate lunge to get up at seven but gravity still takes over and leaves the Czech model stuck on one knee when the ref counts her out!!! KO5 Amy Willerton!!!
AFTER: Amy jumps in pure joy and actually gives the referee a warm hug before blowing more kisses to the camera! She finished the exprienced Kurkova off with a proper uppercut power punch but softened her up with supreme body assault skills beforehand. On the other hand Karolina might still give plenty of upstarts a good challenge but her punching resistance seems to be her biggest issue right now and she really struggled to take a mean punch once Amy decided to bash her around in true slugging fashion.
Official Result: Amy Willerton def. Karolina Kurkova KO5.
