Intro:
First of our two rematches tonight, back in 2018 Nina Dobrev would defend her FCBA bantamweight title by beating Kira Kosarin by knockout in the eighth round, Kira since then has grown and had her own title reign, has she improved enough to defeat Nina or will the beautiful Bulgarian prove she is still the better fighter?
Before the bout both women were asked for their thoughts to the FCBA Networks reporter Alicia Atout, first up to speak to her is Kira Kosarin, who is wearing a black tank top, black joggers and black trainers, she smiles at first as she shakes hands with Alicia, she looks serious though as she stands hands on her hips.
"It's funny, for the last few weeks I have thought about what I'd say, four years ago Nina beat me and was nice about it, so I don't hate her but that loss has stuck with me, in some ways if she did act like a bytch to me it would be easier to understand how I feel about this fight" Kira tells Alicia, folding her arms in front of her chest.
"See part of me wonders if the reason she was so nice is because she doesn't truly respect me, like she just sees me as some kid in her ring, maybe I am paranoid about it but since then I have grown as a fighter and a person, a win here will cement for me how far I have come, all the extra hours after training I put in, all the hard fights I have taken, will be worth it you know what I mean" adds Kira, Alicia nodding in agreement as she understands where she is coming from.
Nina meanwhile is wearing a white T-shirt with blue denim jeans, along with black heels, she nods to Alicia before she tells her "great to see you Alicia, I see Kira wants another crack at me, guess I should have been a little more firm when we last fought, mind it took her four years to decide she wanted a second round with me" laughing at that, Alicia doesn't look so sure that Nina should be acting as dismissive about her opponent as she seems to be.
Nina continues "honestly Alicia she is a good kid so I hope she doesn't hold it against me when I beat her again, it's simply business for me before hopefully I get a title shot before long" patting Alicia on her right shoulder with a smile, then heads off as she doesn't look the least bit worried about the test she is going to face.
Fighting time in the Capital One Arena in Washington, first through the curtain comes Kira with her coach Nadia Bjorlin, she walks down the aisle with a serious look, navy blue sports bra with yellow trim, navy blue trunks with yellow lightning bolts on each side, navy blue trunks and gloves, her hair is in a ponytail as she climbs into the ring, doing a lap inside as she throws a few punches, ending up in her corner eyes shut as she looks in the zone.
Here comes Nina with Claudia Schiffer behind her, she walks down the aisle wearing a white sports bra, matching trunks and shoes, black gloves, while her hair is in a ponytail, she steps into the ring looking over at Kira with an ice cold look, tapping her gloves together looking ready to get this fight started.
Jogging to the center of the ring, both shake their arms to keep them loose, eyes narrowed as the referee finishes their instructions, once they are done, the fighters touch gloves with a nod to each other, returning to their corners with Kira taking in a breath, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of bantamweight action.
Round 1:
At the bell both jog out their corners, trading two punch combos to start, trying to push back their opponent as they dance up on their toes, Nina lands a crisp jab into the chest of Kira, then lands a right cross into her face, Kira forced back a step as Nina comes in closer.
Both let their hands go on the inside, Kira gets caught with a straight onto her lips, followed by a left hook, turning the head of the younger woman, forcing Kosarin to box off the back foot as Nina is looking to control the action, Kira looking tense, maybe remembering what happened last time they were in the ring together.
A double jab pushes Kira back towards the ropes, she swings off them with hooks as both crack each other with hard shots, warding off Nina as she moves off the ropes, toe to toe they go in the dying moments of the round, crowd cheering both fighters on till the bell, where they return to their stools with a few marks on their cheeks.
Round 2:
After tapping her cheeks, Kira is looking to be the more aggressive fighter, stepping inside with some hard hooks to the body, Nina hissing as she retreats back, landing a few jabs back into the face of Kira to stop her pushing through her, soon Kira has the middle of the ring smacking Nina through her guard to her face with straight punches.
Nina though shows her toughness, deflecting a jab to land one of her own under the chin of her rival, getting in closer to work the body of Kosarin, both nearly bump heads as they slug away to toned bodies, hissing from both fighters till Kira nudges back Nina with her left forearm and lands a right hook to turn the head of the veteran.
Less then fifty seconds to go, Nina getting pushed to the ropes, where Kira digs in a left to the body of Nina, followed by an uppercut that knocks Dobrev's head back, Nina grabbing onto Kira, both grappling along the ropes till they get pulled apart, Nina landing a double jab when they resume, the bell soon rings with Nina tapping her gloves together, Kira sits with an icy stare aimed at Nina.
Round 3:
Both women step out their corners with both stabbing their jabs into their opponent's face, Kira using her height more as she steps back when Nina is throwing, then stepping in to land her punches with more force, making Nina retreat back to the outside part of the ring.
Kira showing how far she has come since their first fight, dictating the action by picking her punches, Nina not sitting back though, landing a few nice combos to the face of Kira when her guard dips from going to the body, when they move in closer they body up to fight, trading on the inside with short body shots.
Pushing apart from each other, Kira lands a straight into the nose of her opponent, forcing back the Lioness fighter to the ropes, Kira swinging in hooks to the body making Nina grunt out with each clean hit, Nina giving Kira a shove to the face, then landing a jab/straight combo to knock back the younger woman, Kira covering up as Nina barks in effort banging in her own hooks to her body, the round comes to an end with both jogging to their corners, duelling chants ringing out as the fighters get washed down of sweat.
Round 4:
Nina needing to make a faster start is pushing the pace early this round, Kira trying to match her but a missed straight by the younger woman leaves her open, a counter left smacks on her chin, followed by a straight that knocks her head back, Nina pressing her into a neutral corner, where she works on the body of Kosarin.
Pushing off Nina, Kira can't get too far off the ropes, finding herself needing to stand her ground more to trade, crowd roaring when there's a flurry of punches being exchanged, Kira misses with a right hook, getting caught with a left onto her ear, AN UPPERCUT SLAMS INTO HER STOMACH! DOWN GOES KIRA TO HER KNEES!
Nina turns to the neutral corner as her fans take over the chanting, Kira groaning as 1...2....3....4... She takes a breath, 5....6... Pushing to her right foot as her left knee is planted, 7....8... Kira pushes to her feet, nodding to the referee that she is OK, fists raised to show she wants to fight on.
Less then a minute to go, Kira is understandably in defensive mode as Nina stalks after her, both landing stiff single punches as Kira shows her experience now, Nina smartly digging at the body of Kira when she sees her chance, trying to keep the wind out of her rivals sails, the round comes to an end with Nina jogging to her corner with a smile, Kira nods to Nadia that she knows she got caught there too easily, taking a few deep breaths on her stool to get her breathing under control.
Round 5:
Kira looks to channel a little Usyk here, coming off the blocks quicker to take the fight to Nina, who stands her ground looking to force back the taller fighter, both women slamming in hard punches as they plant their feet, Kira smartly steps back to land a jab/straight combo into the face of Dobrev to knock her head back.
As Kira pushes forwards, one mistake turns the tide back the other way, missing with a straight as Nina crouches under it and bangs in a straight to the abs of Kira, an overhand left smacks the Bonzo's Gym fighter across her cheek, with Kira finding herself being driven back to the ropes, covering up tight as Nina looks to break her down with hooks till Kira clinches up.
Broken up by the referee, Nina is quickest off the mark with a double jab/straight into the face of Kira, busting her bottom lip open with a right cross, Nina pushing the pace as Kira shells up more, Nina can't quite find a big haymaker though, the bell rings with Nina nodding to herself as she returns to her stool looking relaxed, Kira on the other hand has Nadia telling her to get out of her head.
Round 6:
Trading stiff jabs to start, Nina slams in a right cross that knocks back Kira a step, a left hook then smacks her on the chin, causing Kira to shell up, Nina looking to break her down with hooks, Kira needing to hold onto Nina to slow her down, referee needed to pull them apart.
Kira isn't landing much as she looks more focused on not getting hit, Nina marching after her around the ring, not landing as much flush but she is scoring points with aggression, Nina lands a double jab into the chest of Kosarin to knock her back towards the ropes.
Again Kira clinches up with Nina, both sweat soaked fighters trying to muscle each other back, Nina pressing her forehead into the bloody lips of Kira to make it uncomfortable, referee breaks them up with both staring hard at each other, not long later the bell rings to end a dominant round for Dobrev, Kira getting a stern telling off from her coach, she shakes her arms and legs to loosen them up, nodding that she knows she needs to do better.
Round 7:
Stepping out to engage, Kira lands a double jab to the nose of Nina, showing her she is still in there fighting, with Nina landing a clipping left hook to the cheek of Kira, both women landing through each others guard with punches that send sweat flying, in Kira's case some blood flying.
Nina steps in with two hooks to the body of her opponent, she gets clipped with two left hooks to the ear to force her back, Kira landing a right cross into the forehead of Nina to knock her back a step, Kira driving Nina back into her corner, whacking in short uppercuts to knock back the head of the Bulgarian beauty, forcing Nina to hold onto her now as Nadia urges Kira to break Nina in two.
Split up by the referee, they come together to trade, heads grinding as they dig away in close, Kira catching Nina around the side of her head with a right hook that bends Nina into a left uppercut to the chest to make her whine out, the round ends with both returning to their stools dripping with sweat, Kira has blood from her cut on her jugs, Nina looks a little winded from that last set of punches she took.
Round 8:
Pushing off their stools, they are not as quick to engage, Kira slams in a double jab to the chest of Nina, who swings in an overhand left that just misses its target, instead an uppercut catches Nina to her chin to rock her back, Kira showing off her power as she drives through with her hips, opening a cut above Nina's left eye with a right hook to make her cry out.
The switch has been turned on for Kira as suddenly she is happy to be hit to land her punches, another right hook lands on the cut of Nina, who howls before a left hook smacks her on the chin, A RIGHT HOOK LANDS ON THE JAW OF NINA TO SEND HER TUMBLING TO THE CANVAS!
Raising her arms in the air with a look of relief, Kira walks to the neutral corner nodding to her coach, 1...2....3....4.. Nina groans as she rolls to her back, blood dripping onto the canvas, 5....6....7... Nina gets her elbows under her to prop herself up, left eye shut as she watches the count, 8...9...10 it's all over! Nina is counted out!
Winner Kira Kosarin KO Round 8
After:
The winner looks to the heavens with a big smile, this has been four years in the making for Kira, she fights back tears of joy as she walks over to her corner, hugging Nadia as her coach tells her how proud she is of how far she has come, Kira looks tired but elated as she sits on her stool.
Nina meanwhile is helped up by Claudia, helping her to her stool as they work to patch up her up, Nina winces as her left eye is being worked on, an annoyed look on her face as she was on top of this fight, yet she is the one who goes home a loser tonight, not exactly what she planned for.
Over comes Kira from her stool, offer out her right hand to Nina, who looks at the hand for a moment, then shakes it as she tells Kira "you did good kid" making Kira look conflicted, the winner replying "I am not a kid" then marching back to her side of the ring, Nina smiling as she nods.
When both are cleaned up, they come to the center of the ring, Kira getting her left arm raised as Nina nods, they share a nod of respect to each other, then Nina heads out the ring, heading to the back with her left eye half shut, she will be focused on that as her fellow stablemates who won tonight will get to celebrate.
In the ring Kira blows kisses to her supporters as she goes to each corner, posing for the cameras with her arms flexed, winking to them as she looks like a weight has been taken off her shoulders, leaving the ring with Nadia as both chat about what they can do tonight to celebrate, Kira joking she'd take an early night as both laugh.
