(31, 5’9, 0:1 FCBA, SIRENs)

BEFORE: SIRENs girl doing the honors tonight representing her stable from across the Atlantic for the first fight of the evening, providing a long, romantic orange glow smothering the extent of Muscle Beach. Already the boarded walkway is thronged with spectators hoping to get the first glimpse of action tonight.

Spaniard Clara Alonso first girl out tonight, brimming with confidence and a wide smile on her face. She’s walked the runway twice already now at the annual VS Fashion Show, and tonight, she’s determined to show off her catwalking skills with a deliberate strut between and through the curtains.

“I’m just happy to a part of this,” Clara talking to reporters ring-side, her navy blue swimsuit complementing her brown auburn hair tied back in a ponytail. “Rachel is younger but I’ve been in the ring longer. So it will be an interesting match.”

Rachel Hilbert of course one of the new kids on the block, natural blonde guessing she’s chosen to represent the new guard tonight in this first match against the older Alonso. All-American girl looking sensational in a red bikini top and pink undies, big smile on her face as well when her fans rise to greet her. She may be making her debut tonight, but Hilbert’s been turning heads for a while now in the modeling circles.

“Damn right I’m younger and better. Alonso’s had more experience, but pu-llease - so much of that was spent lying on her back,” Rachel equally confident speaking to reporters, but a tad more cocky in her tone than her opponent tonight.

Clara not liking the sound of that last comment - friendly banter turning into intense stare down as both girls climb into the ring and face down in the center, hoots and whistles of the crowd urging them to throw the first punch.

By contrast, calm referee going through the usual spewl tonight - only notable difference is that he’s a she tonight! (well duh, what were you expecting at a Victoria’s Secret event?) the whites-and-blacks on her crop top going well with tight and black bikini briefs. Sounds like a good idea for the future, don't you think, VIX people? A wave of her hand and a shake of her ass and the match is on!

Round 1:
Rachel and Clara come straight out of corners and make for each other, a little nervousness in their step as they trade the first long jabs. Rachel looking like a spitfire even though she’s the newbie of the pair, shocking Clara with a power punch two to the face, making the Siren grunt loudly before throwing her backwards a few steps. Clara shocked by the new girl’s aggressiveness, tries to recoup losses with some defensive fighting, but doesn’t expect Hilbert to keep up the pressure on her guard almost relentlessly, walking her towards the ropes with some stiff blows that land to the body, then more to the cheek and nose. Clara cursing and swearing at the bell, visibly frustrated at her lack of progress this round and even worse, her failure to put Rachel in her place at what was supposed to be decisive fight. Hilbert, however, receiving most of the cheers tonight when she raises a victorious right hand to the crowd - her fans are clearly in full force tonight!

Round 2:
Clara starts the round with some vengeance on her mind, paying more attention to her defenses in the opening minute by swatting away Rachel’s oncoming jabs and then countering deftly with power jabs straight down the middle, landing square on Rachel’s nose repeatedly. Rachel’s fans in the rafters looking more and more dejected, letting out audible gasps shock as their favorite girl’s gets bruised and dominated early in the round. Rachel yelping in pain as she gets outplayed by the more experienced Spaniard, finally realizing there’s more than just offense in the boxing ring when Clara’s counter-punching starts getting too painful to bear. Girls reset in last minute, again throwing long jabs at each other but not getting close enough to do much damage. At least Rachel manages to stem the bleeding and lives to fight another round. But no similar celebration from the American compared to round 1.

Round 3:
More defensive fighting in the first minute as Rachel stays out of range and far away from Clara’s long jab. Clara the one exerting herself, trying to chase the blonde, and her efforts start to pay off in the second minute when Clara catches Hilbert on the chin with invasive jabbing, disoriented her for just a second too long… enough to get right in the blonde’s face and bury her fists into the belly with fast-paced chopping action. Rachel gurgling, trying to get away, her tummy eating a flurry of shots, whilst Clara just licking her lips and not letting her get away from her. Hilbert finally covering up with her forearms, but just barely, absorbing more hard shots into the middle, then gets her face whipped right hard. Ironically this finally allows her to get away from Clara when her body’s spun along the ropes and away from further damage when the bell saves her. Still, Hilbert left in a mess on the ropes, clinging on with both arms on either side. Clara not the most pleased still even with this dominant performance - Spaniard thought that that last hook to the face would have put Rachel down for sure.

Round 4:
Clara charging forward at the bell, hoping to cement her dominance from the fourth, but is surprised when Rachel comes charging right back at her in turn. Clara’s right cross sails over as Rachel dodges at the last minute, her own glove gliding up and in and Clara’s face contorted by the sneaky blow! The stunning punch staggers the Spaniard back but she’s quick to recover when she plants her feet and pivots another right towards Rachel’s head, but when Rachel again packs in a left-right combination before her hands are in mid-swing, Clara sensing trouble and taste of her own medicine when the blonde gets in close and snaps her head back with a right hand up into the chin! Clara eats another one-two up into the gut, backs into the ropes on shaky legs, but here comes helpful Hilbert looking to prop her back up some more! Right left right left punches buried into Clara’s midsection, jerking her body upwards and sideways, left and right and off her feet. Alonso left breathless, eyes wide as she tries turtling up on the ropes, but eats a nasty-looking low blow just a little too low below the belt, sending her jerking forwards straight into Hilbert’s arms. Both girls clinch and wrestle for last thirty seconds, with Hilbert continuing to spank the underbelly with her right hand, all the way to the bell. Comeback round for Rachel with that dominant display (or was it just pure luck? No one knows!). One thing’s for certain: Clara does NOT look in good shape, sprawled in her corner and spitting red.

Round 5:
Technically though, Clara’s still in the lead, but the Siren looks hurt from the last exchange last round. Rachel wading forward fast, not giving Clara any room to get out of way once she’s off her stool. Clara throws some jabs to deter but they land harmlessly on guard. Rachel blowing back, one-two punch combi snaps hard on the nose, then a hook SLAMS into Clara’s cheek, turning her face to one side. Clara looking like damaged goods all of a sudden, her defenses gone to sh*t and just trying to stay alive. Rachel no sympathy, takes immediate advantage by getting in close once again and mashing leather deep into the belly whilst Clara’s distracted up top. Alonso gritting her teeth mid-round, establishes some distance by pushing and shoving at Rachel’s chest then lets fly a couple of strong hooks which bang onto Rachel’s ear and appear to stun her. Follow up hook slams downwards into Rachel’s side, but the body blow doesn’t force her to back away further. Instead Hilbert merely grunts and responds with counter uppercut to the chin with a big step forward - BLAM - it snaps Clara’s head back all the way - Spaniard screws up her eyes as ANOTHER left hand connects and it looks like it’s all over - Clara gone-glassy, stumbling backwards a few steps before losing her balance and crumpling down to the canvas! It’s a stunning knockdown for Rachel Hilbert!

Crowd lets their feelings be known once Alonso’s back hits the ground, screaming to their feet. Rachel ecstatic as well, already celebrating by running back to her corner with hands held high. Hang on, little girl, the referee getting down on all fours, her lithe butt sticking up in the air as she starts the official count out: reaches 9 and Clara’s still on her knees. 10!! It’s over!


Official Decision: Rachel Hilbert defeats Clara Alonso via KO5!


AFTER: If Rachel was excited before, now, she’s absolutely jubilant as she realizes she’s won in her debut, leaping into the air, then embracing her fight team when they enter the ring to congratulate her. The first bout of the evening ladies and gentlemen and already what a match between proud ladies. Rachel swept up in the celebratory lights and music as the referee makes it official with a raise of her hand.

Clara looking dejected, slumped down in corner, cut men checking her face for cuts and bruises. Suddenly, she spies Rachel striding over to her and the audience braces themselves for a potential first confrontation slash humiliation of the evening. But no dice folks - Rachel’s smiling widely, offers to shake Clara’s hand with an extend of her own, and the Siren accepts it after a moment of hesitation.

A big night for both girls as they get a taste of what the VS excitement tonight, making it a win-win situation with both girls getting some much needed exposure. But of course, Rachel’s star only shining brighter and brighter with an impressive win here tonight.
