(Team Canada vs The Bondi Babes)
(7-9, 6 KO vs 0-3)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Allthough local favorite Alaina Huffman rides a five bout losing streak she doesn't consider retirement at this stage of her career. In fact she still wants to slug it out versus the best BBU has to offer and Rachael Taylor fits that demand. The Australian's record doesn't even say half of the story as she's battled some of the top FCBA names including Yvonne Strahovski, Bridget Regan and Taylor Swift over the years. Even though it's peak summer time back home Down Under right now she's made the trip to snowy Vancouver to prove her case and perhaps make Alaina reconsider her retirement plans after all? BBU TV's Georgie Thompson reckons Huffman might not recover from a potential defeat on home turf anymore.

Alaina Huffman wears a red sports bra, black shorts & red gloves. Long blonde hair wrapped in a loose bun at the back of her head. Rachael Taylor wears a white bikini set & blue gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a half-up ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Rachael shows no signs of any rust as she jabs through Alaina's high guard and neutralizes the older blonde on her heels following a quick belting shot on the liver area. If Huffman wants to regain some elite mojo she needs to do better than serve as Taylor's punchbag in the opening round as the Aussie blonde simply tees off on her and buries her underneath a heavy dose of quick leather. Several hooks slice the Canadian's guard up before she finds a late response that knocks Rachael on the jaw to force a deke & weave tactical display to close the round.

Round 2:
More early aggression from Taylor who stick a jabbing series in the Canadian's gut and wobbles her on the heels as again she stays inside the midsection to stagger Huffman into spasms thereafter. The local favorite just can't kick into a higher gear here and gets pummelled around the ring with Taylor showing all that FCBA promise as she whacks the older blonde across the lips and drops her into a yelping earmuff on the ropes. She adds another belting series on the liver area and has to be dragged away by the ref when the clock expires. The Rogers Arena audience is furious and this is the last thing they expected to see from Alaina who has no answers to Taylor's confident game plan so far.

Rounds 3 & 4:
Rachael's unable to completely break Alaina's resilience during the next couple of rounds but escapes a serious comeback attempt from the local blonde who settles into single-punching disputes most of the way that maybe help her confidence if not much else. Team Canada trainer Amanda Tapping isn't happy with this half-hearted approach and things actually gets worse when Taylor finds a way to punish Huffman's midsection late in the fourth. She drives a truly hapless looking actress back to the ropes where she bends her sideways and drills the navel repeatedly to slump all Canadian hopes into a yelping demise. Bell saves Alaina from a looming disaster but she looks every bit her age as she aches her heart out during the break.

Round 5:
Taylor crashes into Huffman's face early in the fifth and knocks her around back & forth so the embattled blonde slides onto her heels and just can't find any separation whatsoever. She wilts under the Aussie barrage of methodical strikes and finally gives up the ghost when Rachael nails her with an uppercut double.... DOWN GOES HUFFMAN!! She crashes onto her backside and takes a long eight count before getting up. She looks anything but ready to continue but the ref doesn't want to stop this one yet... Taylor makes sure he doesn't have to think about that decision for much longer as she SLAMS a left/right combo on each temple before driving into Alaina's breasts and dropping her into painful screams on the spot. Alaina can barely defend herself... in fact, she can't and when a scything left cross nails her on the nose - it's all over! SHE DROPS DOWN ON HER BACK and that's a KO5 Rachael Taylor in lights out fashion!!!

AFTER: Georgie Thompson reckons Amanda Tapping will have to find a new lightweight leading the charge from now on since Alaina looked well past her prime tonight! It was a shockingly poor performance and these are usually killers when you consider Huffman's age. No such problems for the Aussie blonde who scores her maiden BBU victory and vows to take her talents back to Europe where she can finally announce herself as a proper contender. All these losses under FCBA banner must have yielded a positive reaction against lesser competition and maybe it's finally time for the Tasmanian native to shine?

Final result: Rachael Taylor def. Alaina Huffman KO5.
