Intro:
Rematch time here in the Diamond Boxing Tournament, Emma Corrin (3-0) and Karlie Kloss (2-1) know each other well, only three months ago they fought on the PPV, Emma was able to knockout Karlie in seven rounds, she'll hope to repeat that feat here tonight in Melbourne's Kooyong Stadium, can Karlie keep her tournament hopes alive by ruining Emma's chances?

Heading into the contest, both women gave their thoughts on camera at the Green and Gold Magazine's offices, Sarah Cummings asking both a few questions, first into the hot seat was Emma as she sits down wearing a black dress with matching heels, looking regal as she sits up straight looking at the camera

Sarah asks her about the tournament and if she thought she'd be in the running to win it, Emma replies "I wouldn't have entered if I didn't think I could win, I have trained hard to win for me and my stable, so of course I expected to be in the running" looking annoyed at the question.

It takes a few moments after a sigh is heard behind the camera before Sarah asks a follow up question, asking how Emma feels about Karlie after their first fight, Emma replies "I don't feel anything towards her, I beat her once already so this will just be a repeat of that" Emma then gets up, thanking Sarah for the time, still she doesn't look too impressed by the blonde interviewer.

Karlie sits down wearing a black blouse and denim jeans to go with her heels, exchanging pleasantries with Sarah before getting down to discussing the fight, Karlie says "Emma got me in the end when we first fought, she has talent but is far from unbeatable, I know I had her several times in that fight, time I show her where she really stands" fists clenched as she says that last part.

Subject turns to if Kloss still thinks she can win this tournament, she admits "all I can do is keep winning fights and see how things go around me, I should have beaten Charlotte (McKinney) but here we are" Karlie stands up and shakes hands with Sarah.

Fight night, through the curtain first comes Emma with her coach Jeri Ryan, Emma walking with a purpose down the aisle, knowing a win keeps her right in the mix for the title, she takes off a black silk robe to reveal a black bikini with matching gloves, hair is a ponytail as she taps her gloves together, Jeri massaging her shoulders to keep her loose.

Through the curtain now comes Karlie, she has Kelly Hu in her corner as she nods to her fans cheering her, stepping into the ring wearing a pink bikini with white gloves, hair is a ponytail too as she stares at her opponent, bouncing on her toes as Kelly gives her advice on what to do this time around.

Brought to the middle of the ring by the referee, both women shake their arms to keep them loose, eyes in an intense stare down as they certainly don't love each other, they give a quick bump of gloves with their opponent, jogging back to their corners with their coaches giving them last second advice, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.

Round 1:
Straight out the gates both are trying to enforce the range they want, Emma ducking down to throw her punches around the torso of Karlie, taking punches around the top of her head as Karlie tries to keep the smaller fighter on the outside, Emma like a terrier as she keeps on digging away to the body of the model till a clipping right across her cheek and a double jab to her forehead knocks her back to the outside.

Into the second minute of the round, Karlie keeping Emma more at arms length now, forcing the actress around the perimeter of the ring, Emma trying to pick her spots, getting caught more often then not to her stunning face, showing the task she has cutting this lanky fighter down.

Now less then fifty seconds to go, Emma slips a straight to bury a counter right into the solar plexus of Kloss, hammering in an overhand left to turn the face of Karlie to the side, Emma now muscling back Karlie to the center of the ring, fighting in the pocket where Karlie is struggling to do much against her, at the bell both women return to their corners after giving their opponent a reminder of their first fight, Emma will be the happier how the round went, though it was far from a slam dunk for her as Karlie was dominant through the middle part of the round.

Round 2:
Trading more combinations now they are loosened up, Emma lands several crisp punches around the bell button of her opponent, Karlie lands a crisp right hook to the side of Emma's head, followed by a jab square into her face as the English lass retreats, another right hook makes Corrin stumble towards the ropes.

Karlie's eyes lit up as now she has Emma herded near the ropes, Emma shelling up under the assault coming her way, Kloss not showing any respite for the smaller woman, keeps on swinging a right hook after her jab, landing several hard shots to the side of Corrin's head to knock it around, Emma needing to clinch up as they move into the final minute of the round.

Emma just can't make any traction, Karlie driving her back when they resume with a flush one-two combo slicing through her guard, there's a cut on the bridge of Emma's nose as Karlie looks laser focused, drilling in her punches with real precision as Emma can only back off, at the bell this can go down as a 10-8 round to Kloss, real dominance from the American there as she marches back to her corner with an intense look on her gorgeous face.

Round 3:
Emma comes out for the round not looking as keen to get caught so flush, problem is Karlie is hunting her down nicely, reopening the cut on Emma's nose early on, with Emma only able to land a few single punches to keep Karlie from mowing her down as easily as the last round.

Controlling the center seems to be key for Kloss, she is boxing back Emma towards the ropes, outworking the brunette in these exchanges as Emma is struggling to find openings to really open up on Karlie, instead it's Karlie landing crisp combinations to send a little sweat and blood off of Corrin.

Less then a minute to go and finally Emma finds a chance to strike back, deflecting a jab to fire one of her own on the chin of Karlie, a short right cross slams on the jaw of the blonde, Emma sticking in close as she can, working the body with well drilled shots, Karlie needing to push Emma back, landing another crisp one-two into her face just as the bell rings, this certainly wasn't how the GBS camp want this fight to go, Emma sitting on her stool getting that cut patched up, looking a little shocked at being bullied around, Karlie meanwhile is tapping her toes, wanting back at her opponent to even the score with her.

Round 4:
When Kloss is on form she has runs like this where she doesn't seem to miss, Emma being peppered around her cheeks, causing them to start having a pink hue around them, even Emma's chest takes a few stiff punches to knock her back again to the outside part of the ring, Jeri yelling at Emma to find her way back into this bout

Karlie does miss though as Emma slips a straight, burying one of her own into the chest of Karlie, then lands two short left hooks into the ribs of Karlie, being pushed back by Kloss, Corrin eats a one-two combo square into her face again, blood dripping off the nose of her nose from the cut, still Emma digs in to give Karlie a few more headaches.

But Karlie is managing the distance well, landing several hard hooks when they fight at midrange, Emma though again like a terrier when she finds a way inside she works away hard, at the bell Karlie looks assured this time will be different, Kelly in her corner does too, Emma meanwhile looks frustrated, Jeri giving her a speech about not giving up before they get to technical ideas.

Round 5:
Karlie is trying to pressure Emma early on, wanting to add more power to her punches as she plants her feet more, problem is Emma can read the punches more easily and dodge, leading to Emma slipping a right to land one of her own around the liver area of Kloss, who grimaces as she takes a step back, Emma mauling the body of Karlie did she is nudged back.

Now Emma is finding ways to get inside more easily, feinting, bobbing and weaving, Karlie struggling to hold off Corrin as the English lass knows she hurt her American counterpart, landing more crisp punches around the body of Karlie, who now latches onto Emma to slow her assault.

Once apart Emma drills a straight into the chest of Karlie, a left hook on the chin sends Karlie back two steps, where Emma drives her the rest of the way into a neutral corner, where Karlie is being mauled by a vengeful looking Emma, who is relishing the beating she is putting on Kloss, at the bell Emma can't help raise her arms in the air as she returns to her corner, showing everyone including her opponent who dominated the round, Karlie looking shell shocked as she sits on her stool, breathing harder as she gets an ice pack on her body.

Round 6:
Stepping back out to fight, Emma is quick to apply the pressure to Karlie, getting inside where she drills in several short uppercuts to the body of the model, who is wincing as she tries to shove off Corrin, eating an overhand left on her chin again, A RIGHT FOLLOWS SQUARE INTO HER LIVER THAT TUMBLES KARLIE DOWN TO ALL FOURS!

What a turnaround by Emma as she marches over to the neutral corner, 1...2...3... Out comes Karlie's gumshield as she sucks in air, 4...5...6...7... Right hand on her stomach as she looks to be fighting back tears, 8.. Pushing up to her knees to kneel, 9...10 that's as far as she gets, Karlie is counted out!

Winner Emma Corrin KO Round 6

After:
Another win over Karlie on the board for Emma, it was far from routine as her cut and the redness on her cheeks show, Emma marches back to her corner not looking in a mood to celebrate as that wasn't a performance she wanted to scare the other so far undefeated fighters in the tournament.

Mind Karlie certainly wishes she was in Emma's position, Kelly needing to apply a fresh ice pack to Karlie's stomach, Karlie shaking her head looking embarrassed to have lost again to Emma, especially as she was hurting her in the second round, for whatever reason Corrin is proving a bogeyman style opponent for her.

In the GBS corner Emma has her gloves off and has cooled off as Jeri points out that she won this fight, Emma apologizes for her strop there, with both embracing as Jeri points out winning ugly is part of boxing, can't always look a million dollars every fight you are in.

Back to Kloss and she looks fit enough now to leave the ring, at two wins out of four now in the tournament, she has to be disappointed after such a strong start to the event, now she is really out the running for the title, it has to be all about finishing her final three fights strong, even as the field isn't all pushovers.

As Karlie heads into the locker rooms, the result is made official as Emma gets her left hand raised by the referee, she grins as she raises her right index finger to tell the crowd she is number one in this tournament, not exactly true as currently she shares that with Charlotte McKinney in the tournament.

No matter as Emma leaves the ring, the next three fights are the important ones, with Charlotte and the other contender for the title Robyn Lawley still to come, it could all come down to a shoot out between them to who lifts the trophy by the end of all this.
