Before: Classic battle between fighters on the verge, looking to elevate themselves at each other’s expense. Rosie with 12 fights in the BBU & FCBA and only one win to show for it. In 2013 used as a marker in the escalating rivalry between Bar Rafeali & Brooklyn Decker, as they compared how quickly they got the KO and their post-fight treatment of her in the run-up to their 2014 Fight-Of-The-Year candidate on the beach. But, she’s had the chance to work with the legendary Charlize Theron on the set of Mad Max: Fury Road, and that makes her a question mark. Gonzales looking good losing in two fights, but in a stable known for having an eye for talent. Still, each fighter can be forgiven for looking at the other as low-hanging fruit. 

Rosie typically silent in prefight, knowing all the questions will be about her record. Eiza more than makes up for her opponent’s reticence: “I’m not just here to get rounds. I need to make a statement with this girl, to show everybody just why I was signed!” 

Fight getting more coverage than fighters who are 1-13 between them normally gets at the news that Charlize Theron has flown in to watch the fight! Ring&bleachers setup with fighters in the fishbowl. Triangle cut bikinis for both women, Black&Tan snakeskin pattern for Rosie, Eiza in mismatched blue&silver top, leopard print bottoms. Black gloves all around, Rosie’s hair windblown & wild, Eiza’s wetted down and slicked into a battle pony. 

R1: Rosie bouncing, playfully slapping the jab while Eiza stalks her about the ring. Midway through the round, Gonzales timing a lazy RHW left with a jolting right cross, has her Brit stunned and vulnerable to a clubbing 3 punch combination to the face! Rosie busted up, in a haze, walked to the ropes and bludgeoned as Eiza slams heavy straight rights to the body, coming up top with bashing hooks to suppress any possible uprisings off the strands. RHW savaged in the first, gets the smelling salts early as she sits shaking on her stool. 

R2&3: Rosie comes off the disastrous first to put together back-to-back shutouts. RHW on a mission: sending the message: I'm quicker, I can dominate you outside, you can't box with me like you think you can. Gonzales peering out over her gloves as she tries without success to cut off the ring, Rosie’s never looked prettier as she glides to her left, punching Eiza square in the forehead with her jab. RHW’s jab controlling the fight - she's stepping in close to get off in spots, then stepping out before Gonzales can respond - blonde turning and pestering brunette all around the ring. Rosie hasn't been touched in two straight, while Eiza's cheekbones are looking raw, breasts are pinking up from the blonde's cruel accuracy. RHW getting sprayed down in her corner, sweaty but smiling. 

R4: Rosie comes in for the kill, Eiza isn’t ready to go. Toe to toe slugfest as fighters test each other’s resolve midring. Beauties trade harmful licks to the body and head—RHW working straight with her punches, Gonzales looking to pull wide hooks across Rosie’s face or lunge in with chopping short rights to the chin or chest. Down the stretch, both girls slugging fiercely, Eiza steps inside a RHW right, bouncing a short right hand clean off her Brit’s chin and sends her scooting back into the ropes face-in-gloves as the crowd roars. Rosie dazed, bullied along the ropes as Eiza pours on with hacking lefts and rights. 

R5: OH THEY BANG AWAY! Rosie’s legs still wobbly after last round, gritting her teeth, digging in and going shoulder to shoulder with Eiza in a gutsy display of you-hit-me, I'll-hit-you. RHW turn-twisting into meanspirited right uppercuts, twisting the other way to lash her hook across Eiza's waist, then extending the left elbow to prop her up for more. GONZALES GOES WOBBLY BUTT! Vicious first minute of trading sees brunette legs suddenly give way - Eiza trying to tie up and Rosie fighting through it, really biting into Gonzales' body with that hook, doubling it up to the jugs, then cleaning up on the mouth with right uppercuts. Fight wandering along the ropes - brunette sliding to her right, blonde stepping with and lashing away lanky rights and lefts. In the last 30 seconds, Eiza bends in and down with a short right hand counter and ROSIE IS HURT! RHW’S own right hand sails out into space, SHE's all rubbery legged and desperate to clinch. Gonzales wrapping her blonde up around the waist, bulls her blonde into the ropes and pins her down, cramming in weak punches between the hips as Rosie wraps up tight around her head. Intertwined fighters collapsing into the strands at the bell, this fight turns into a battle of corner crews as both combatants have reduced each other to shambling wrecks under the blazing sun. 

R6: Eiza comes alive, launching haymakers as she crouches forward, Rosie slipping back out of range, sets up on the ropes. Gonzales staying low, still slugging, percentage low as RHW bends back into the ropes to evade leather. Eiza sticking with it, misses a left, but lands a hard right to the left breast that FREEZES ROSIE IN HER TRACKS! Leaning right, Gonzales pulls a swinging left into RHW’s jaw, then over to the other side, hauling the right into Rosie's chin. RHW soaking 'em all up dreamily, hands cupping that left breast. AND ROSIE GOES OUT!! Charlize watching ringside as RHW wilts off the ropes under a sweeping barrage of haymakers, slumbering through the count as Eiza Gonzales picks up her first win with the KO6! 

After: Touch&go there, with Rosie showing a much better chin than her reputation would suggest. Eiza beginning to show that trademark O&E takes a lickin’, keeps on tickin’ ruggedness, first surviving two bad rounds, then initiating and ultimately winning the last-woman-standing slugfest.
