BEFORE: Erin McNaught was really disappointed she didn't make the upcoming Beach Boxing Bustle PPV line-up - the ACB front office decided to push with former lightweight champion Rachael Finch instead - but found herself in a last chance salloon when fellow model Carla Ossa explored her celebrity boxing opportunities and discovered the Australian brunette ready to accept any sort of a challenge.

"Green & Gold" Magazine's chief reporter Sarah Cumming helped to set this fight up in the AIS Arena in McNaught's home city of Canberra and provides the play-by-play commentary on a special BBU TV/Channel Nine coverage.

Erin McNaught wears a pink & blue floral themed bikini and neon green gloves. Brown hair in loose waves. Carla Ossa wears a yellow bikini top, blue knickers and red gloves. Dark brown hair in loose waves. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Not much is known of Ossa apart from her Colombian nationality and supreme height compared to McNaught. The Aussie brunette gives away two inches to her opponent and looks a little carried away by the occasion early on as she gets smacked around the ring with Carla wasting no time whatsoever in making her presence felt here. The BBU has seen the arrival of Alessandra Ambrosio to boost the originally extinct South American contingent and one can only wonder how good Ossa actually is. Sarah Cumming remains hopeful Erin can knock her around but the reach advantage becomes an issue and leaves McNaught getting caught repeatedly in mid distance as Ossa slowly begins to find her stride on BBU debut.

Round 2:
McNaught struggles to connect with more than a single punch while Ossa keeps coming at her and flirts with overhand jabbing that puts the Aussie veteran on notice. Erin knocked Georgia Salpa out last time she was seen in the ring but that was over two years ago and she looks visibly rusty tonight, losing most of the jabbing exchanges and getting drilled on the body when Carla switches her targets. That's some confident boxing from the Colombian and Sarah Cumming is really worried about the lack of evil spark from McNaught. Carla stuffs her into the corner deep into the third minute and ravages the exposed ribcage with Erin just yelping in pain and unable to do anything about the Latin heat.

Round 3:
Perhaps the decision to exclude McNaught from the Beach Boxing PPV was the correct one as the Canberra native keeps misfiring badly and fails to ignite any home court pressure on her opponent who jumps into a jabbing frenzy early in the third again and picks the stagnant Erin off repeatedly before the Aussie brunette simply bends to the side scowling and just looking for a way out. Ossa smashes her on the ribcage with a looping hook and clips the chin to set up a brutal hook from the left that dumps the older model on the ropes with eyes closed. Here comes Carla then, she dissects the Aussie guard and traps the local favorite butt-in-ropes scything through the jugs in a sudden flurry of pure destruction. Erin's on her heels, poor thing getting rattled badly in front of her home crowd but Carla refuses to toy around with her and BLASTS a piercing uppercut on the jaw that JACK-KNIFES her rival onto the canvas in a split second! That's not what the ACB executives were hoping for but Ossa looks extremely impressive fitness-wise and perhaps Alessandra Ambrosio has something to be worried about after all? It's almost too easy and too short for the Colombian who lets the local girl off the hook in the final twenty seconds after the countdown was halted at eight with Erin staggering back to her feet with difficulty. This is a one-sided affair and Ossa makes some gestures at the crowd indicating she looks to punish their girl for a little while yet! Supreme Latin confidence on display but the AIS Arena is hardly sympathetic here!

Round 4:
BronzedOz's head trainer Nicky Whelan is furious with the lack of production from her protegee but there just isn't anything McNaught can do about the supreme fitness of her opponent and it's getting from bad to worse for the home favorite who gets stuffed with another hook on the solar plexus and basically loses her breath on the spot. Carla takes her time and whips past the leaking guard with a jaw-bursting hook and only watches as Erin slumps on the ropes with another loud groan... this is a hunting trip for the Colombian now... she apparently wants to see a fightback from her opponent but McNaught is all over the place and looks to avoid more Latin heat more than anything else. Ossa flirts with the breadbasket and actually gets punched in the face as the Aussie tries to salvage some pride here but then gets whooped against the turnbuckle and the ruthless body assault eventually breaks her down in the final minute. Too much drilling jabs bounce off the midsection and slump the older brunette into spasms before another uppercut on the chin DROPS HER ON THE BACKSIDE moments later. Carla shakes some booty and earns herself explicit comments from the crowd but this is everything the AIS Arena can throw at her with McNaught nearing complete meltdown. She gets up at eight and leans against the ropes and Ossa mercifully lets her see out another round but even Sarah Cumming shouts from the booth: "Just finish her off already!"

Round 5:
Erin just doesn't have the ring shape to make the fight competitive and the whole of ACB simply let the fox into the henhouse as Ossa finally abandons the teasing attire and ROCKS the subdued Aussie with a vicious left/right hooking combo on the mouth that drops McNaught's guard on the spot before another strike on the solar plexus renders her into dummy mode. Nicky Whelan should have called it quits during the interval and now she does the right thing by THROWING IN THE TOWEL with McNaught sliding down onto her knees and sobbing her heart out shortly afterwards. What a beatdown here in Canberra but unfortunately for the ACB faithful, it's TKO5 Carla Ossa!!!

AFTER: Grim atmosphere in the BronzedOz Boxing corner but perhaps they were spared even bigger failure on the Beach Boxing Bustle PPV later this month. Erin McNaught needs immediate gym work to ever become another chance again however Sarah Cumming takes a shot at coach Nicky Whelan for doing a lousy job and basically sending her fighter out there to fight at her own peril. While Carla is a rookie, she arrived in Canberra in top physical condition whereas Erin could barely make it past the third round before apparently needing extra oxygen. One can only wonder what was she doing for the last couple of years? BronzedOz & Whelan paid a heavy price for underestimating their opponent but it was McNaught who suffered the most damage in the end. Just a terrible night for the entire ACB organization.

However Carla shows enough respect to the home camp and tries to console the sobbing brunette whom she just wrecked few minutes earlier. Erin apologizes for her lacklustre showing and vows to salvage her sinking career ship but even Sarah Cumming wonders what's next in store for both of tonight's contestants. Carla's heading over to Europe no doubt but Erin might be shelved for remainder of the year and is very much on the crossroads of her journeywoman ACB/BBU adventure. The only way is up for the Canberra-based model but someone - not Nicky Whelan based on tonight's evidence - needs to get her engine running before it's too late.

Final result: Carla Ossa def. Erin McNaught TKO5 (Corner Stoppage).
