Diana:
(20, 5’5, 115, FCBA Debut, SIRENs)

Before: We’re live and back to VIX/SIR: Atlantic Queens. The crowd seems to have settled, the girls from both stables guarded by officials on either side of the ring in case they decide to rush the ring again. Emily Ratajkowski and Diana Korkunova already undressed and ready to go in respective corners in the ring. Emily clad in black bra-and-panties, confidently showing off her taut figure, purple gloves. Diana mashing white gloves together, bright cyan bikini contrasting against her rival’s. This Co-Main Event is scheduled for 10 rounds in the Flyweight division.

Round 1: Sound of bell and both girls stride forward confidently, gloves raised. Emily has a grin on her face, knows she’s the favourite to win here but we know that anything can happen. Indeed, the model starts the exchange with punch after punch aimed at Diana’s head, testing her guard and seeing what the rookie’s made of. Diana’s inexperience showing immediately as she betrays her trouble with dealing with each long jab that hits hard on her forearms. The shorter brunette simply looks unsure of how to attack without being smacked in the face by Emily in return, and Emily smells this fear on the rookie, grins and renews the attack again. Mid-round, however, Emily suddenly shocked when Diana deflects her right jab and WHACKS a left cross straight to her nose! Crowd certainly approves with a hearty roar, leaving Emily even more shocked at her fans cheering for her opponent instead? Diana reveals herself to be a quick learner it seems, adapting around Emily’s long jabs and starting to land jabs of her own on Emily’s face and body. Round ends with a close lead to Ratajkowski though as judges reward her early offense.

Round 2: Emily no longer smiling now - how dare this rookie midget touch her face? She glares at the little hobbit, taunting her to bring it on. Diana receiving advice from her corner during the break - change in strategy from the Siren it seems as she charges in fast and low at the bell, surprising Emily with a double-under hook straight into her body!! Emily stunned, body jerks upwards in shock, but Vixen responds with a counter-hook that sails over Diana’s head - Diana bobs low, again pesters Emily’s mid-riff with stiff one-two shot to her body, then tries her luck at an uppercut to chin… NO DICE, however, as Emily saw it coming a mile away. This time, Vixen’s defensive punch hits Diana straight on the nose - first real taste of leather has her stunned and fearful, forcing her to retreat hastily, but that exchange clearly went in her favour, wouldn’t you say? Fans not disputing that fact - this is what they paid to see after all: two models banging away at each other. Last minute has both girls back on defensive: Diana not keen on getting hit on the face any more than Emily enjoying her body sponging up punches. Bell rings and Diana grinning like a pixie, knows she’s fought her way back into relevance.

Round 3: Despite coaxing of Head Trainer Henry Carvill, Diana not willing to play the offensive, aggressive brawler. She hangs back most of the round, but curiously, so does Emily. Both girls don’t realise their similarities, circling one another and preferring the long jab, favouring chest and body rather than head-hunting. Both manage to land hard punches to chests - one interesting exchange see them shooting right hands at the same time, both grunting loudly as punches land at the same time. Mirroring of moves continues, with coaches shouting from both corners to “Get in there and brawl!” falling on deaf ears. Perhaps no personal beef between both girls and new begrudging respect aiding the lack of action. At the bell, judges give the round a decisive draw.

Round 4: Perhaps it’s the fact that she’s younger and more inexperienced, pundits speculate that also makes Diana more of a risk-taker. Eager to please her coach, she repeats the bullying of her opponent from Round 2: rushing in to get close to chip away at Emily’s body, but her face gets SMASHED in by a waiting Ratajkowski, who refuses to make the same mistake twice. Diana lets out a shrill GRUNT as her face half-disappears into Emily’s glove - textbook right cross by the Vixen who had anticipated her charge and rushed in with that well-timed right hand. Emily trying to exploit, but doesn’t manage to catch the Siren with more punches as Diana scampers quickly out of danger, shaking her head vigorously to fight off the stars. Emily eagerly comes in after: left hand slams into her guard, then whether by reflex or training, Diana ducks under Emily’s follow-up right and reflexively punts both her fists upwards, slamming both gloves directly into Emily’s gut! Emily goes URRRRK as Diana repeats good fortune, jamming fists into any flesh she finds whilst still shaking the stars from her head. Emily’s turn to turtle up best she can, but last few seconds sees her no choice but to force a clinch with Diana, who seems to have now found her calling - the tiny terror CAN certainly brawl in close-range, but she needs to find an opening to get in close to her foe first. In this case, call it blind beginner’s luck, but Diana certainly giving more than receiving in that exchange with Emily.

Round 5: Will third time be the charm? Diana certainly wishing to push it. The Siren bulls herself forward once again, gloves covering her face but aimed nice and low. Emily, however, looks surprisingly calm - uh oh, definitely not a good sign. She allows Diana to come to her, defends well when shots again aimed up at her tummy and sides. Emily denying her opponent any skin, blocking and weaving, refusing to be bullied. The Vixen seems to be waiting for opportune moment as Diana’s breaths get heavier and more drawn out… Emily fires her right hand up into Diana’s lip - look of pain on the pixie-face as it connects, then follows-up with repeated jabs whacking Diana’s face backwards repeatedly like a speed ball. Sirens’ corner bellowing out now: “HANDS UP. DEFEND!!” but it’s no use - Diana completely exhausted from her earlier exertion, her head now being rocked left and right by Emily’s hooks, Emily regaining her confidence with each decapitating blow to her opponent’s head. Final uppercut to Diana’s chin sends the tiny terror up into the air - face snapped upwards to the sky, body hitting the ground with a loud THUD!

IT’S OVER!! DIANA’S KNOCKED OUT - COLD!! The referee doesn’t even bother counting - Diana sprawled out on the canvas, limbs splayed, drool dripping down corner of mouth!


Official Decision: Emily Ratajkowski defeats Diana Korkunova via KO5!!


After: Ratajkowski known for both her mean and nice-streak. This time, she shows concern for the rookie by checking on her as she’s attended to by the medics. When Diana finally regains consciousness, Emily forces her lips into a smile down at her fallen foe, promises, “Let’s do this again sometime, yeah?” Diana too shell-shocked to respond, but manages a tired nod. All that’s left to do for the victorious vixen is a parade around the four corners of the ring, soaking up her fans’ adoration for her well-deserved win.
