BEFORE: "I know Alessandra, Lily and Miranda are best pals but I didn't come here to serve the drinks!" Polish model Sandra Kubicka hopes to use tonight's Ambrosio farewell card as a platform for additional contender stardom. "I've watched plenty of Miranda tape as Lily didn't share any tips in the gym and let's face it, she is a BBU & ACB legend but I'm the future! Since I couldn't quite win the European Cup last year I need to take elite scalps in order to move up the ladder! It's time to bid farewell to more veterans! Miranda, hun, you're time is sooo up!"

"Boy, Sandra sure talks a lot! Let's see if she can actually land as many punches or she's just talking so much to hide the fact she's the designated punchbag tonight? How about winning a BBU title before sending me to retirement, huh?", the usually soft-spoken Miranda Kerr realizes she needs to stamp the trash-talking authority since the Polish blonde shows her no respect whatsoever which indicates the Aussie will have to earn the paycheck the hard way. One might argue Lily Aldridge truly got the easier out on the other undercard!

Miranda Kerr wears a pink bikini set & golden gloves. Light brown hair tied in a curled ponytail. Sandra Kubicka wears a black & white themed bikini set & red gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a sleek ponytail. Both women are barefoot. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Sandra did all the pre-fight talking but it's Miranda with the powerful response in the opening minute; she outworks the blonde in trigger-happy jabbing drive before blasting the Pole across the mouth. Sandra tries to swing back over the top but finds the Brazilian air instead and eats more half-uppercuts on the chin as Miranda powers ahead through shear work load. She snaps Kubicka's head back and slowly reels her onto the ropes kicking up plenty of sand in the process. Sandra tries to hang in the exchange but runs out of real estate before she knows it and has to accept the Australian punching her in the gut late in the going; she clinches Miranda and applies a rather desperate headlock which is just about her best contribution during the opening round.

Round 2:
Miranda stormed though that opening round but Sandra recovers quickly in the second and she matches the older model's slugging pace and finally sticks a meaningful leather into her face. Both women are happy to trade head shots in crowd-pleasing speed dial fashion and it's Sandra who comes out on top after she bangs a left hook on the ear to wobble the Aussie to the side. Miranda gets jammed on her heels in the loose surface and shoots over the blonde's head which allows Kubicka to smack her from the inside with a great power delivery. Ugh! Sandra blasts Miranda on the chin and sends her tripping onto the ropes where she locks the phone booth's door and cleans her up with more jabbing menace to leave the ACB/BBU champion covered behind a desperate earmuff at the bell.

Round 3:
Gisele Bundchen arrives in the Downunder corner to show her support but Miranda storms back into contention with more head-hunting guile that overwhelms the Polish model following another mindless bash in the center of the ring. Neither woman wants to yield an inch in the slugging chase which raises more blood-thirsty noise around the audience which even gets bigger when Kubicka stumbles to the side with a loud whimper half-way through the back & forth dispute. Kerr has nailed her on the nasal ridge one time too many and the younger model checks out of the aggressive ideas but is forced seek cover as the Aussie bashes her onto the ropes thereafter and rips extra hits into the exposed midriff in the closing stages of the round as well.

Round 4:
Both models are keen to knock each others' heads off during another feisty slugging dispute and the momentum swings in the blonde's favor this time as she cracks a left/right uppercut combo on the chin that makes Kerr groan in pain before she eats a nasty hook on the eye. Ugh! Aussie champ sinks on jelly knees and both Nikki Visser and Gisele in her corner sound worried while Sandra plugs some hammer blows into the exposed chest to underline her dominance. She traps Miranda in an uppercut storm moments later and bashes the brunette onto the ropes where she keeps piling more pressure downstairs as Kerr bellows out behind a desperate earmuff and fails to recover from the Polish heat until the bell. She kicks a plume of sand in Kubicka's direction but only finds the Polish model bursting into laughter in response.

Round 5:
Sandra's joyful mood ends early in the fifth when she gets rocked by a hooking combo on each temple before Miranda slams her across the mouth to assume control in close range. The Polish model refuses to back off and still lands some crisp single shots over the top but becomes too erratic down the stretch and gets busted to the body as the Aussie champion gets vocal in her harpoon efforts. Kerr abandonds the head-hunting style and finds more success crashing into Kubicka's body to the point she drives her butt-in-ropes and works the right hand in piston-like fasion. She digs her forearm into Sandra's windpipe and slams a shot into the solar plexus that just sinks the blonde into spasms before another blow in the same spot SENDS KUBICKA SLUMPING ONTO HER KNEES moments before the bell! Ugh! Miranda backpedals to the center of the ring still staring down on the kneeling foe and Sandra strategically tries to adjust her bikini top - which isn't easy with the mitts on - but she still gets saved by the bell. "Lucky bytch!!!", Miranda can't hide her annoyance while the Copacabana audience gives Sandra extra ovation for her dusting off efforts during the break!

Round 6:
Miranda comes out firing and tries to chop the Polish babe to the body again but the younger model doesn't appear to be shaken up by the knockdown and responds in equally spirited fashion. Both models lean into each other so much it's a miracle they don't clash heads but the body assault showdown eventually ends in a stalemate as the big gut-breaking punch eludes both of them... action stalls in the second minute with more sand being kicked around as both women battle for position; Sandra bumps the brunette off and spikes her with an uppercut double on the chin which allows her to issue more jabbing meance thereafter but Miranda circles away into safety and leaves Kubicking slicing thin air in the closing seconds.

Round 7:
The Aussie entourage doesn't expect Sandra to blow her gasket just yet but they are wrong! The Polish blonde decides she has to chase the score right here in the seventh and stuns the older model with a booming left/right combo on the mouth before throwing a nasty overhand on the nose. Miranda duly accepts the slugging ordeal and slams it right back into the blonde's face before she shoots over her head and wobbles into an uppercut blast from the inside. Sandra cranks up the heat and SMOKES the Aussie champion with a thundering hook on the ear which just folds Miranda's defense on the spot and has the blonde pounding shots into her face on speed dial. Uh-oh!!! Blink and you've missed it! Miranda gets pummelled onto the ropes where she's unable to break Kubicka's stride and only tries to clinch her but then gets crippled into loud spasms when the Pole thumps her in the liver area out of the ordinary. Miranda wobbles forward and bumps her chin against the top of Sandra's shoulder, gets shoved back onto the ropes but can't raise her mitts fast enough for a booming right hook that knocks the gumshield out of her mouth!!! AND DOWN GOES KERR!!! The ACB legend crashes down on all fours and falls face-first in the sand when the count reaches six... the ref realizes it's all over here and duly waves off the fight!!! KO7 Sandra Kubicka in come-from-behind fashion!!!

AFTER: This is officially the biggest scalp on Sandra's resume! She took down former Front Street flame Daniela Ruah and ex-Queen of the Ice Hotel Bar Refaeli before but these two were very much in their past-prime at the time, something that can't be said about Miranda Kerr just yet! Or has Sandra actually broken Miranda's elite camel's back tonight? That might be very good news for Rosie Huntington-Whiteley who is scheduled to face the Aussie model in three weeks time!

However the Copacabana undercard glory belongs to Sandra Kubicka who performs a classic sand angel and throws more of the golden granulates in Miranda's direction moments later. The Aussie veteran is visibly upset and shakes off Nikki Visser's helping hand as she sits down on her heels and ponders how on Earth she couldn't close the deal versus a seemingly inferior opponent. She eventually accepts Sandra's hug as the official verdict is announced and Gisele Bundchen actually tries to bond them together as they head towards the drink bar. Everyone needs a small break before Alessandra Ambrosio enters the ring one last time next!
