BEFORE:
The VIX International tour continues, this time to the northern front of Scandinavia just before the temperatures dip for Spring.
We’re LIVE in the Njårdhallen arena, on the outskirts of Oslo, Norway, an indoor heated sports hall that’s seen its fair share of boxing action.
Tonight, we have five fights on the cards, and with keeping to the theme so far, five Vixens challenge five northern beauties eager to defend their homeland.
Up first, Kyra Santoro goes up against native Swede Anna Nyström, and the crowds give the blonde a loud cheer as she enters the arena in a dark blue sports bra and long white tights.
Even though we're several across the border from her home country, the crowds still recognise Anna as one of their own, and she waves excitedly to be fighting on near-home soil.
"Not too many events come to Scandanovia," Anna says to reporters later by ring-side. "I want to make my country proud tonight. We're gonna show them how the Northerners fight!"
Kyra Santoro may be the foreign guest, but she's far from unwelcomed, the Norwegians laying out the red carpet and also showing her their much vaunted hospitality. Santoro smiles at the reporters as well, after striding down the ramp in an orange sports bra and blue boxing trunks.
"I'm happy to be here. It's my first time in Norway, and you guys have a beautiful country!" the Vixen says, which earns her a loud cheer.
ROUND 1:
Loud, bangin’ action as mitts stun the arms and both well-built ladies take turns blasting each other with hooks, trying to break the guard. Kyra is surprised by the shorter blonde’s aggression, grunting as Nyström weathers a flurry to her face before taking a return hook to the side of the head, sending her stumbling slightly. Various melees continue to erupt throughout, with Nyström making up for her lack of reach with a wide flurry of quantity and venom, literally swinging away at Kyra’s body and arms like a human dynamo springing to life. Santoro is not deterred however, and makes up for the earlier deficit by keeping at range and imposing her reach advantage: sends multiple jabs into the blonde’s face to keep her at a good distance till the bell finally rings. Not the best way to knock someone out, but it does the job of winning her points for now.
ROUND 2:
Anna’a aggression continues unchecked, however, and Nyström responds with even more and frequent rushes forward. Anna bangs her mitts off the Vixen’s sides, chugging leather into the body and ribs and then going up high with a follow-up to the head or chin, though these are more often deflected or absorbed by Kyra’s raised guard. The Vixen’s trying to move and jab back as before, but finding herself overrun at several points, as both girls go tumbling into the ropes and wrestling for control. Kyra still exclusively targets the head and face, rocking several straight shooters into the lips and off the top of the head, but Anna ain’t deterred till the bell rings, declaring herself the winner by a close edge.
ROUND 3:
Santoro’s always been more measured and not the flashiest of fighters, though she can definitely exert her own power when she wants to. The two gals stand and trade leather in the center of the ring, exchanging hooks across the guard and both taking ringin’ shots across the face in tandem. Kyra’s taking more risks here, but will they pay off? She hammers a blow across Anna’s cheek, but then is left gasping and lips parted when Nyström returns with a left hook to the stomach and then a right one to the chin, which sends the poor Vixen stumbling off towards the ropes! Ouch!! Santoro in tatters, forced into survival mode, as Anna continues to chase her down with big swings. Though a last clinch near the ropes enables Santoro to save her skin, tying up arms with the blonde and pinning her down to the ropes to catch her breath. Close round to Anna once again, which has the Scandinavian crowd on their feet.
ROUND 4:
Anna is already behaving like she’s won this fight, smiling wide and parading in her corner with her arms held high. Start of the fourth and she CHARGES straight forward again, arms up and ready to continue the brawl. But Kyra’s a little ready for her, as the Vixen chooses to move sideways instead of engage directly, and this allows her to side-step most of the blonde’s charging swings towards her head and body. First minute of this charge-and-evasion and Nyström is already panting hard, her chest heaving as she looks to continue her fruitless pursuit. Kyra’s turn to strike! Small but effective flurries sent bashing into her face, knocking her head and body backwards, and forcing Anna into a retreat for the first time of the fight. Santoro still has two minutes left to reverse her fortunes, and she expertly pounds away on Anna’s form whilst evading her return attacks with a bob or weave. A right hook suddenly catches Nyström on the chin, getting her to cover up desperately when she backs into the ropes. HERE COMES SANTORO, pounding shots off the blonde’s torso and chest before rocking her off her feet with a follow-up hook to the side of the head, and Nyström goes SPINNING down to her side with a loud grunt!! Referee tries to hover over her, shout numbers down into her shocked expression, and despite the loud cheers of the crowd, who are trying to give the blonde moral support to get back up and continue fighting, Nyström barely makes it onto all fours, still hanging her head in her arms before the first count of the night hits 10! That seems to be it! It’s OVER!
Official Decision: Kyra Santoro defeats Anna Nyström via KO4!
AFTER:
“Cocky! Too cocky!” Kyra shouts over the roar of the crowd and reporters’ questions. “Anna’s got potential, but she still has a long way to go before competing with me. Long live Norway and Sweden, though! I’m looking forward to a night out in their famous pubs and some Syverkiosken sausages!”
Meanwhile, has to be slowly brought back around, shaking her head when the medical team asks her if she needs to be stretchered out of the arena. The Swedish blonde at least takes her leave with her head held high, and to the encouraging cheers from the home crowd.
“I thought I had her at multiple points,” Anna later shakes her head to reporters backstage. “It just proves that I need to get a little more experience under my belt before I’ll be back to put Kyra in her place.”
