Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: These two models shared swimsuit photoshoots before but it's time for serious boxing business so Joy Corrigan vows to give Rachel Barnes all she can handle and then some. The pressure is allegedly on the brunette model to finally win one of these fights but she puts a brave face on and tells the reporters she sells enough tickets around the country to always find demand in the ring - regardless of her professional record!

Joy Corrigan wears a black bikini set & golden gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a curled ponytail. Rachel Barnes wears a navy blue bikini set & silver gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a half-up ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Joy clatters into Rachel's face with a quick jabbing delivery and forces immediate slugging dispute the brunette cannot handle during the initial tangle. She tries to beat the blonde over the top but lacks precision and outright power supply which enables Corrigan to bounce her around the area before she eventually traps her on the ropes. Rachel weaves around on her feet but gets beaten back to the post and sinks into loud spasms which only fuel Joy's attacks. The blonde model gets vocal as she ignores the earmuff cover and tries to whack her foe in the midsection; she bounces off the forearms but with Barnes unable to find a meaningful response the aggressive display is more than enough to claim the round on points.

Round 2:
Rachel finally gets going and makes Joy angry when she laces her on the nose and delivers a proper head-hunting blast to match the blonde's slugging efforts. Both models keep blasting each other in close range and Joy is unable to overpower her opponent this time which gives Rachel more confidence as she slams a vicious left/right cross on each temple to drop the blonde into coverage. Corrigan bides her time during the second minute but then cranks up the recovery volume and tries to knock Rachel's head off again. She misses with her shots though and gets caught from the inside as Barnes works the uppercut route to even the cards. Both women bump into each other at the bell and the ref has to separate them before things turn ugly.

Round 3:
Another furious start from Corrigan allows her to nick a couple of nasty shots into Rachel's face but the brunette leans into her rival and catches her on the chin. She tries to follow up with another big punch but whiffs on the delivery while Joy SMOKES her with a thunder right hand on the chin instead. Ugh! Rachel slumps on her heels with a loud whimper and fails to raise her arms just in time for Corrigan to BLAST her on the mouth with another jackhammer shot. Uh-oh!!! Rachel's gumshield comes flying out and she DROPS FACE-DOWN AT THE CANVAS amid a loud ovation from the partisan crowd! How about that lights out finish? Ref doesn't even bother with the count as Barnes has been smoked out of the building! KO3 Joy Corrigan!!!

AFTER: The proud blonde pumps herself across the chest and teases the crowd along the way. She waltzes around the fallen opponent and has to be shoved back to her corner where coach Eva Mendes applauds that KO of the Night candidate: "You can go places, kid! Arrogance sells tickets too! If the beach boxing championship becomes a real thing, we'll be ready to take ALL the spoils!"

Official Result: Joy Corrigan def. Rachel Barnes KO3.
