Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Polish model Sandra Kubicka has moved into Tractorpull Magazine's Top 10 watch list but then she fell to the dangerous Dua Lipa on the Lioness Club's 10th Anniversary PPV and needs to rebound in proper fashion if her rise to the elite conversation won't be over before it even started. Meanwhile Hungarian model Barbara Palvin tries to rebuild her career under new management and many pundits believe she's a much better boxer than her lousy record indicates. Her ten-fight losing streak covering 2019 & 2020 seasons appears to have been left in the rear view mirrors and Palvin hopes to catch Kubicka in a spot of bother coming off that Dua Lipa loss. Let's see if she's only bluffing with a mere jack high though!

Sandra Kubicka wears a red bikini set & white gloves. Long dyed blonde hair tied in a custom ponytail. Barbara Palvin wears a brown bikini set & silver gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a braid. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Barbara charges forward with a quick jabbing pounce and outworks Sandra in the initial tangle before busting her in the navel to gain a crucial early advantage. The Polish model tries to swing over the top but finds thin air and has to embrace more vicious body shots as the brunette works her over to the ropes and keeps slicing the exposed abs until Kubicka clinches her out of frustration. Still the Hungarian model maintains the aggressive stance and rips more shots into the blonde's body to leave Sandra slumped in quiet spasms come the final stretch. Huh! Coach Claudia Schiffer looks a little worried in the Lioness corner while Barbara taunts her out of order and has to be reprimanded by the referee. Weird!

Round 2:
Sandra gets aggressive and jumps into a hectic hooking delivery that splits the brunette's mitts and knocks her head back repeatedly during the opening tangle. She tries to beat the blonde from the back foot but that's never a good idea and results in Sandra thumping more leather on target before Barbara simply has to bail out into mid-range to avoid structural damage. Kubicka still hassles her onto the turnbuckle where she ignores the earmuff cover and lays it into the exposed midriff trapping Palvin in a spot of bother for remainder of the round. The blonde's attacks are maybe one-dimensional as she chops down on the abs but Barbara has no intentions to salvage a lost cause in this round anyway. Bell.

Round 3:
Barbara secures a quick jabbing connection and moves from there to punish the blonde's boobs in a rare jug muggin' switch. Sandra gets stuffed on her heels as she tries to escape the unexpected heat while Palvin shoves her onto the ropes and lands more hard strikes on the chest to slump the Polish model into genuine spasms. Sandra has to see out the jug muggin' storm clinching the brunette but Barbara overcomes the delay and lands more body shots come the final minute when she shakes off the stalemate tactics and drills an uppercut double to bellow Kubicka on top of the ropes to end the round.

Round 4:
Another aggressive jump from Barbara brings her the early joy as she clatters into Sandra's face and rolls her up along the ropes. The head-hunting switch catches the Polish model by surprise and she's getting pounded out in rough fashion here as Palvin really fancies the upset. She taunts the reeling foe again while picking her off with more precise shots that leave visible lumps on the blonde's otherwise pretty face. Uh-oh! A hard one-liner cuts Sandra up below the left eye and she gets bullied onto the ropes where Palvin hunts high & low to breaks the blonde's resilience. Kubicka avoids the ultimate knockdown disaster but cuts a dejected figure at the bell when she realizes how nasty that swelling under the left eye actually is.

Round 5:
FMF coach Shannon Elizabeth is ready to celebrate a massive win for Barbara but the brunette just can't land that genuine piledriver early in the fifth and gets sucked into a phone booth struggle as Kubicka seeks to recover the scorecards deficit. She pummels the brunette to the body and catches a lucky break when she clips her chin with a stray headbutt. Barbara loses her patience and drills a low hook in the groin that triggers a hectic back & forth punchfest between the two models. Hah! This is the chance the FMF crew was looking for but disaster strikes when Kubicka tears Palvin's nose into a blood seeping mess late in the going and thumps more vicious hooks to spill extra red liquid on the canvas. Ugh! Barbara cannot believe what just happened here and wipes more blood across her face before the ref tells her to head back to her corner.

Round 6:
Barbara's nose gets patched up during the break but Sandra is all over that one and hammers easy leather with the Hungarian model still neutralized by the sheer experience of that wound. She leaks a quick series before offering a looping & weak reply while Kubicka smashes another right cross that bursts the nose into a bloody flood. Uh-oh! Barbara cries out in pain and the referee calls time out! And then he proceeds to issue a standing count while more blood pours from the brunette's nose. Ugh! It's a total disaster as the nasal damage is deemed too much for Palvin to continue and this might really be a serious injury? TKO6 Sandra Kubicka!!!

AFTER: The crowd is equally as stunned as the FMF entourage which doesn't even argue the stoppage and tries to stop bleeding from Barbie's nose! It's not gonna happen anytime soon so the Hungarian babe has to be escorted to the locker room for proper medical attention. This leaves Sandra alone in the ring and she admits Palvin was leading on the cards when she managed to bust her into a bloody mess: "Look, this is how you win fights these days. Anyone can sit on the cards and think that will be enough. Well, maybe I'd be worried in the tenth but not in the sixth! I knew I could blast her with one swift rally and guess what? I frickin' did! I bet Tess Valmore will LOVE that finish!" (winks).

It's nice to see Sandra in such good spirits but the real elite test will only come at the next Fight Night Live event when Kendall Jenner will raise the stakes beyond anything the Polish model has seen in the ring in her career so far.

Sandra Kubicka def. Barbara Palvin TKO6.
