BEFORE: When Mary Elizabeth Winstead visited the BBU back in 2012 she was supposed to fight Karolina Kurkova before infamously cutting her trip short and leaving the Czech model waiting for nothing. This unfortunate incident has left an everlasting scar in Kurkova's approach towards any Foxfire Boxing member which potentially spells bad news for Candice Swanepoel who's switched over from Ginny's Academy a while back in order to resurrect her dwindling career. 

 

Swanepoel's enjoyed plenty of opportunities but never improved her below par record and now looks to give Kurkova a proper SSB debut and knock her out silly to follow Nicole Scherzinger's and Taylor Cole's results from earlier tonight. Kurkova tasted the US based models before when Adriana Lima blasted her out in less than three minutes but she claims to be a totally different fighter now who's ready to make a permanent switch to the other side of the pond. Word on the street is that the winner of tonight's clash might receive a ticket to the Miranda Kerr occupied Ice Hotel before too long which adds extra spice to the already highly touted modelling encounter. 

 

Karolina Kurkova wears a silver bikini set and red gloves. Candice Swanepoel wears a golden bikini set and blue gloves. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division. 

 

Round 1: 

Despite all the BBU success, Karolina starts the bout slowly and allows Candice to make her moves early so the opening round is all about the South African model who whips repeated punches testing the strenght of Kurkova's guard. The Czech response is weak and meaningless and Candice rarely had such a great chance to score big unanswered shots so begins to wonder what's the plan here and drops her aggression down the stretch reverting into single punches rather than all out attack. Kurkova remains hot on her toes and avoids proper action but still eats those single punches and wobbles dangerously after Swanepoel drives an uppercut combo on the chin to dismantle the guard again in the final seconds. The follow up bounces off the shoulder though and Candice's unable to put the icing on the cake as Karolina gives her a long stare after the bell but the truth is, she did absolutely nothing to intimidate the Foxfire blonde in the opening round. 

 

Round 2: 

More of the same in the second, Kurkova's lethargic in her movements and awaits the South African blaze which comes to the fore after a brief hesitation. Swanepoel sticks her golden gloves into the body this time and leans on the fellow model with a jabbing combo; she escapes a high counter because Kurkova fails to find her stride and has to cover up low and clinch her foe in order to avoid being pushed back to the ropes. The respite is temporary though as Candice cracks another combo on the chin and settles upstairs afterwards just landing all the shots on display and rocking the cumbersome Czech model back & forth and seeking another stalemate. Swanepoel now begins to think her rival is truly that mediocre so opens up from both sides and buries Kurkova butt-in-ropes in the final minute and it's only her lack of a proper haymaker that enables Karolina to stay upright and actually mount a late response that grazes the fellow model's forearms without any significant progress. It's all smiles for the Foxfire camp and Candice looks as relaxed as ever in the ring smiling like she's won the fight already. 

 

Round 3: 

Swanepoel smells easy prey and jumps into a jabbing combo but then Kurkova unloads a big left hand and catches her on the temple, spinning the shocked girl to the side with a loud scream... uh oh... nobody in Vegas saw that coming and suddenly it's the Czech model pounding along straight between Swanepoel's mitts to make her gurgle in discomfort and seek extra real estate... Karolina doesn't hold back unlike her foe before and sets her targets upstairs to punch Candice back to the turnbuckle where she shakes off the clinching attempt and unloads an uppercut combo on her own to sink the Foxfire blonde on her heels with eyes closed. She rushes in with more jabs to the body and keeps Swanepoel trapped for remainder of the round to finally make it competitive and leave the South African staring at her corner in utmost disbelief at the bell. 

 

Round 4: 

We have a fight on our hands now as both models jump into a leather frenzy; Kurkova's found her stride after six minutes of no-show while Candice wants to make a statement but misfires badly in the opening minute and eats several crisp jabs on the face instead. All the early dominance evaporates quickly and the bruises mark her troubles in far more telling fashion as Karolina rips the guard aside and rocks the South African head back & forth pushing the aching girl back to the turnbuckle where a big hook on the navel really gets to Candice and wobbles her to the side. No chance for a clinching rescue anymore and as Kurkova bumps her with more jabs between the arms, Swanepoel makes a run for it and allthough she clips the Czech blonde's jaw, she prefers to escape the close range heat instead. She stumbles back to center of the ring and all the good work is undone when another massive right hand nails her on the temple and spins right back to the opposite turnbuckle. Thankfully for the Foxfire corner the clock expires before Karolina can further underline her new found stranglehold on this bout and now Candice looks concerned rather than shocked as she shakes her head repeatedly during the interval. 

 

Round 5: 

We're tied here and there's no breakthrough in the fifth either as Lioness Club coach Claudia Schiffer orders Karolina to watch out since she's not exactly a SSB veteran and the Foxfire crew is as experienced as they come. As a result both models trigger a wrestling & shoving WWE-like show without much boxing which gives Swanepoel something to think about as she loses the test of strenght and is pushed back to the ropes where only the actions kicks in but it's all Kurkova again who rips into the breadbasket and bends the South African over the ropes and almost dumps her down on the judges' table. More wrestling follows and Candice loses her temper; she laces a couple of hooks into the kidneys but escapes without a warning only to see Kurkova headbutting her and pinning against the ropes. Another shoulder dig catches the boobs and as Candice tries to call the ref into action, she gets blasted with a heavy cross on the nose and spins around with her eyes facing the crowd now... Kurkova refrains from landing more shots and the clock expires before Swanepoel can regain her position but the crowd is puzzled over this round which had little to do with boxing to be honest. 

 

Round 6: 

The Czech school of boxing prevails early in the sixth as Candice is smoked with an early cross and ends up just a fraction too late with her own jabbing aimed at the head. Kurkova barks in her efforts to leave more bruises on her opponent's otherwise pretty face and manages to slice the guard repeatedly with Swanepoel aching and moaning behind a tight earmuff at first. A low switch on the guts triggers the desired hole though and Candice just can't stretch her elbows in close range whereas Karolina blasts a series of uppercuts and drives the fellow blonde butt-in-ropes again half way through the round. There's just no escape for Swanepoel who struggles to embrace the up tempo and this is the Czech model at work - a very familiar sight in BBU - who simply thumps the other blonde into a moaning disarray and just looking to survive behind a leaky defence. The lumps and cuts add up to display a very sore face at the bell and the spark has deserted Candice's eyes too, the pretty model keeps shaking her head but she apparently has no answers to the repeated mauling Karolina handed her in the last few minutes. 

 

Round 7: 

"The time is now!", Claudia Schiffer urges the Czech model to pounce on the aching opponent and Karolina does just that ripping head shots to sink Candice on jelly legs from the onset... desperate screams from the Foxfire corner are to no avail as the response is nowhere to be seen bar a couple of lurid hooks that smack Kurkova's cheeks but fail to cause any harm; instead it's the Czech girl who rocks her foe with a jabbing combo on the nose and makes Swanepoel gurgle in pain and wobble to the side with arms dropped... a lightnight quick hook on the temple slumps the chin between the shoulders and the South African doesn't even see the punch that sends her down and out moments later... a heavy right cross to the chin renders Candice numb as she goes all timber in a similar fashion that Taylor Cole send Elisabetta Canalis packing... SWANEPOEL IS DOWN AND UNABLE TO RISE AGAIN... she covers her face behind her gloves but she doesn't have the strenght to beat the count and it's all over! KO7 Karolina Kurkova!!! 

 

AFTER: The first victory for the Europeans is complete as Karolina Kurkova plants her foot over Candice's belly and waves her gloves high in the air! Despite a very slow start she came back to smoke Swanepoel senseless and that's exactly what the BBU camp needed to avoid a looming whitewash! Is that good enough to make the Ice Hotel grade next? Miranda Kerr took the title by storm and while Adriana Lima is seeking other endeavours for now, girls like Bar Refaeli might well be poised to put a block into Kurkova's prospects... 

 

Karolina is no stranger to soaking up glamour exposure and claims it's about time she was given this chance after Mary Elizabeth Winstead "chicked out" of their planned BBU clash three years ago: "She can suck on my kneecaps now! Useless tart! I didn't beat Doutzen Kroes for nothing and while the models were long mocked by the US pundits I'm here to stay to make them think otherwise! Of course Brooklyn frickin' Decker and Kate Upton always seem to get the good reviews but when I see someone like Nina Agdal secure an American debut before me that's plain outrageous! (...) Adriana Lima KO'd me before? I've never heard of that bout! Ugh! That NEVER happened! (...) What's up with the LCA? Next question, please! I'm not entitled to give you any news for now!" 

 

Final result: Karolina Kurkova def. Candice Swanepoel KO7.
