(Lookout! Atlantic Boxing vs Pretty Little Punchers)

Intro:
The main event sees Doutzen Kroes and Bo Krsmanovic battle in the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne, the first round of the Contender 6 tournament meaning both want to win badly.

Doutzen is 33 years old; she stands 5'10 and holds a record of 13 wins, 12 by knockout with 7 defeats, she is a former BBU lightweight champion.

Bo is 26 years old; she stands 5'11 and holds a record of 10 wins, all by knockout and 13 defeats.

The fighters were interviewed on the set of the BBU network by Denise Van Outen, with Doutzen up first as she hugged Denise before she sat down to start the interview.

The first question concerns her moving up in weight, how she is finding it; Doutzen smiles and admits "at first it was tough, you find the girls certainly do bag a punch, so when people hear that a punch at this weight can end a fight, you are certainly telling the truth"

She continues "but I feel stronger now I am not draining weight to get into the lightweight division and I feel like I can become a champion again"

She is then asked about Bo, Doutzen becoming serious as she answers "she is underappreciated as a fighter, I have seen what she can do over in the FCBA and well she is going to be in the running for this tournament, but I am confident in my own ability to stop her"

The final bit is a word on her future opponent's, Doutzen laughs and replies "you know I'm not one to call out people (winks) all the others need to know is I am feeling great and that's when I am most dangerous"

Bo meanwhile looked excited to be sitting in the studio, chatting to Denise about their lives before Denise steers the ever friendly Serbian.

Krsmanovic is asked about what has got her over to the BBU after focusing on fighting in America so long, she replies "my management feel like a change of scenery will get me more success, like my stablemate Hayley Atwell was when she became the JMDD champion around here"

She is then asked about Doutzen, which she answers "she has been a champion before so I can't say she is a bad fighter, but she isn't strong enough to be in the ring with me as she'll find out"

When she gets the chance, Bo tells her future opponent's "that title at the end of the tournament is coming home with me" her cheery smile belittling how she tries to make a serious statement.

Fight night; out comes Doutzen with Nicole Ritchie by her side, Doutzen punching the air as she comes through the curtain, a big smile on her face as she struts down to the ring.

She is wearing an orange sports bra with white trim, matching trunks, with orange gloves with white knuckles and orange shoes, her blonde hair is braided for battle.

Getting into the ring; she gives the crowd a quick wave before she jogs to her corner, Nicole discussing with her what the tactics are for tonight.

Bo now is out with her coach Nia Peeples, she is all smiles as usual as she marches down to the ring, her eyes though are squarely on the ring.

She is wearing a violet sports bra, with matching trunks, shoes and gloves, while her long brunette hair is also braided.

Stepping into the ring; Bo goes for a lap inside the ring, stopping at her opponent's corner to touch gloves with her to show respect before she heads over to her own corner to warm up.

Soon enough both are waved to the ring center by the referee, where the smiles disappear as this is all business between the two, eyes locked in an intense stare down.

But when asked to touch gloves they respectfully do so, wishing each other luck as both very friendly away from the ring, their expressions though are full of focus as the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.

Round 1:
Both fighters start off feeling each other out with rangy punches, Doutzen looks the more fleet footed of the two as she moves around Bo and lands the cleaner punches.
Bo though is scoring stiff punches herself, just hasn't got the volume of clean shots like her opponent in the other going who looks to have lost none of her quickness when she moved up a weight division.
But as Doutzen tries to move inside; she is caught with a left cross and a straight punch, when she looks to move backwards, Bo slams another straight between her gloves to keep the pressure on.
Bo starting to herd Doutzen to the outside of the ring, hammering the guard of the Dutch fighter to keep her where she wants her.

The round soon ends with Bo and Doutzen sharing a nod to each other before they jog off back to their corners to be cleaned up.
Nia praises Bo as she tells her to keep relying on her skills then trying to bulldoze someone as good as Doutzen, getting a nod in reply from Big Bo.


Round 2:
The round starts off similar to the first round; both are trading single punches as neither wants to make a terrible mistake this early in the fight.
The crowd getting somewhat a chess match style fight, till Bo thinks she spots an opening but moves too quickly to strike and ends up missing.
Doutzen counters with straight punches to the cheeks of Krsmanovic, the Dutch fighter using her speed and head movement to start countering her slower opponent.
Bo tries to lash a right hook that finds thin air as Doutzen dips under and comes up with an overhand left punch, followed by two body punches before she moves back.

Sitting on her stool; Nicole smiles as she tells Doutzen "she can't out box you, you're the champion fighter here not her"


Round 3:
Doutzen this time comes out the gates quickly, bobbing and weaving under the punches of Bo before she swings overhand punches across the face of her opponent.
The blonde is giving Bo a lot of problems with her speed, landing to the cheeks of Krsmanovic to keep her on the back foot.
Bo though turns the tables on Doutzen, nudging her back with her left and lands a straight to the nose of Doutzen to knock her back.
Suddenly the momentum changes as Bo starts backing up Doutzen with her punches finding gaps in the mitts of the Lookout girl to her face till Doutzen clinches up with Bo.
Once they are split apart, as the seconds tick away in the round, the fighters go toe to toe to try to win the round.
The bell rings to end the round with both women staring hard at each other, their tempers starting to grow as they pass by the other annoyed that they can't seem to take control of the fight so far.


Round 4:
Bo pushes forwards with straight punches to push Doutzen back early, Kroes dancing around the outside of the ring with her head movement allowing her to dodge most of the punches.
When Bo moves to land a left cross; DOUTZEN DIPS UNDER IT AND LANDS A RIGHT ACROSS THE CHIN OF BO TO WOBBLE HER, WITH A LEFT HOOK KNOCKING BO TO HER BACKSIDE!
The Lookout corner team jumping up outside the ring, 1...2...3 Bo shakes her head and stares at the canvas looking pissed off, 4....5...6 before beginning to shove herself up, 7....8 beating the count.
When the fight is allowed to continue, Bo is looking to come back at Doutzen but ends up missing with her wild punches and taking punches across her face.
The round ends with Bo staring down at the canvas as she makes her way back to her corner, knowing she has given Doutzen a hell of a lead in this.
With Doutzen returning and not sitting as she takes on fluids, she looks keen to get back at Bo as she gets praised off Nicole.


Round 5:
As the bell rings; Doutzen looks to keep the pressure on Bo, dancing around her and landing that stiff jab she has through or around the mitts of her opponent.
Who can't seem to land a clean shot due to the movement of the former lightweight champ, Bo having to cover up when her nose starts bleeding.

The fight is allowed to continue with Bo stepping in close to Doutzen, forcing the fight to turn into more of a brawl as Bo looks to end this.
A right smacks Doutzen across her cheek, opening her up to more power punches as she ends up being knocked onto a set of ropes.
With Doutzen pulls Bo into a clinch; the referee steps in to pry them apart as they grapple, with both looking hurt as they move apart.
The bell rings as the round comes to an end, with Bo now the one staring hard at Doutzen, who is looking at the canvas with a worried look on her face.
Back on their stools, Doutzen has Nicole trying to get her head back in the fight, her face washed down as she is yelled at to take this fight back.
Meanwhile Bo looks more confident, she knows she hurt Doutzen but is hurting herself as her nose is worked on again.


Round 7:
The fighters trade stiff single punches as Doutzen tries to get her legs moving quickly between her, instead she looks to have lost steam after the knockdown.
As Doutzen tries to come inside, BO LANDS A RIGHT ONTO THE TEMPLE OF DOUTZEN, TURNING HER LEGS TO JELLY AS A LEFT HOOK KNOCKS HER ONTO HER SIDE!
Doutzen's eyes look glazed as 1...2...3 she is being counted, she turns to her front and tries to push up, 4...5...6 when she gets up so far, she stumbles and falls onto her face, 7...8...9...10 leading to Doutzen to be counted out!

Winner Bo Krsmanovic KO Round 7

After:
Bo wins a very tough contest for herself, the blood dried from her nose a reminder of this fight for her as she wearily raises her arms in the air to celebrate.

While Doutzen has the ringside doctor and Nicole checking on her, she is giving smelling salts before she comes around back to her senses.

As she is helped to her stool; Bo heads over to check on Doutzen with the beaten model managing a smile and nodding that she will be, though inside it must hurt as much as she is physically.

This was an almost perfect start for Doutzen till she got caught by the power of Bo, who is all smiles as she shakes the hand of Doutzen and jogs over to her corner.

The ringside doctor suggests that Doutzen be taken to the back for more tests, with Nicole agreeing and helping her fighter to the back to a round of applause.

As soon as Bo is cleaned up and ready to celebrate, she gets her hand raised by the referee, smiling wide as the crowd cheers for her.

If Bo saw her next opponent's performance in Caroline Austin in this tournament, well she must be confident she can go 2 and 0 to start off.

While Doutzen can look forwards to another tough test in Jourdan Dunn, where both will be looking to put the record straight, a defeat in that fight may already finish off both their chances at tournament success.
