Luisana Lopilato versus Taylor Cole
(Words: Vixens / Results: Lookout!)

Luisana:
(29, 5’7, 6:1 FCBA, Vixens)

Taylor:
(32, 5’8, 39:35 FCBA, The Fighting Academy)

Before: Many people surprised by Luisana’s challenge, including Taylor Cole herself.

“She’s been in what... 6? 7 fights?” Taylor begins. “I’ve got ten times more experience that this rookie. She’s gonna regret ever mentioning my name in a sentence.”

Luisana looking quite calm at other end of the table. “I’ve beaten the odds before, and Cole will be no exception.”

Girls face-off silently and then make their way to respective corners. Referee calls for the match to start in ten rounds of Lightweight action.

Round 1: Both girls go full throttle right from the start, looking to exert dominance and bragging rights. Taylor showing who’s better when she surgically takes apart Luisana’s defence with looping right jabs, something Luisana is surprised to see (or not see) as they have a habit of coming from unexpected directions. Taylor scores many such hits to the blonde’s face and then body, with Luisana having trouble shifting her guard around that quickly. But the Argentine blonde also managing to keep up with the grizzled veteran with sheer packing power, on more than on occasion stunning Cole in her tracks with a straight right to the gut or up into the chin, sending convulsions throughout her entire body. Taylor realising that she too needs to be careful and not get overly-cocky.

Round 2: Round 1 repeats itself but with more spunk from both girls. Taylor upping the tempo and speed of her strikes, and Luisana stubborn enough to get in the way. The Vixen trying to bring Cole’s body into better focus, slamming uppercuts into the tummy as she wades into close quarters, whilst Taylor too jams her fists into side of Luisana’s head. Not clear who’s getting the upper hand in this melee, until last minute when Taylor throws a big right hook that swings, misses Luisana’s nose just by an inch, instead brunette gets her body pounded on by follow-up left-right-left punches from the blonde. Luisana continues abuse: rams right hand straight into Taylor’s nose, forcing her to eat mouthful of leather. With a grunt, Cole backs away in pain, barely blocking more jabs aimed at her face, Luisana looking for that early knockout but doesn’t get it when Taylor is suddenly saved by the bell.

Round 3: Taylor more cautiously hanging back this time, letting Luisana come to her. Blonde eager to do so, having found success so far. Cole disturbing advance with repeated jabs thrown at the head and chest, trying to keep Luisana at distance. Look of surprise on Taylor’s face, however, when the Luisana absorbs majority of blows, keeps on coming, steps into her space and sticks her mitts into Cole’s chest and tummy, drawing loud gasps. Crowd applauding relative domination of Luisana’s efforts this round, however, at the bell, evidence to the contrary though: Luisana holding onto the top rope for support, shaking her head side to side as though stunned, disoriented. Looks like she’s not superwoman after all, giving Cole some reassurance and hope that her strikes actually did some damage.

Round 4: Luisana makes beeline for Taylor at the bell, but makes mistake of neglecting her defensive guard. Taylor pops one too many jabs into her nose before Luisana manages to close the distance and clinch with her tightly. Cole shocked by sudden lack of mobility, struggles best she can, digs her right hand continually into Luisana’s side. Luisana usually excelling well in clinch fighting, but this time having trouble controlling her foe. When she twists to other side, we see why: multiple jabbing to her face opened up one nostril: Luisana now leaking red uncontrollably over Taylor’s shoulder. Smirk forming on Cole’s face as she sees the destruction. Finally manages to shove Luisana off her and back away to examine her handiwork. Luisana wiping the blood off her glove, but struggles rest of the round to reassert herself, allowing Taylor to dictate with punches to all over her body.

Round 5: Luisana comes back though once she plugs the leak in her nose with a wad of paper, shocking Taylor back with her powerful; right hands that push the brunette backwards, making her wobble on soles of her feet. Taylor again goes back to tried and tested jab-jab-jab to the the blonde’s cheek as she advances on her, but this time Luisana is covering up better. Result is the Vixen throwing fewer punches as well and both girls scoring only occasional blows to rare openings. Last thirty seconds sees both girls going all in at each other with mutual growl, drawing mutual URRKS when fists slam into midsections. Luisana definitely hurting the bigger girl more, finding her groove in vicious tummy torture: quantity AND quality shots leave Cole gurgling at the bell, hunched over along the ropes, desperate for air.

Round 6: Here we go with the sixth. Taylor looking to avenge her beating in the previous round, starts clobbering Luisana’s guard in the opening minute - rare show of aggression from Taylor as she makes the blonde shudder with pounding hooks on her middle left-right left-right. Luisana not doing nothing either, snapping fists into brunette’s body whenever she’s given an opening. For a moment, seems to be doing the trick in the exchange, her blows doing more damage and driving Taylor back to the ropes with steady thud thud thud. Cole not looking too good, can't seem to find that sweet spot as her blows not looking like they’re landing on skin due to Lopilato’s excellent resilience. Luisana goes in for the kill but makes the mistake of clinching again, intending to have free access to her foe’s belly. She spanks off one, two shots in, but then Taylor loses her patience and JAMS her left glove into her nose, over and over again. Luisana stunned all of a sudden as she goes gurrk, redworks opening up again from her nostril as she staggers back in pain. Momentum suddenly shifts 360 degrees: Taylor pounding on face as Luisana’s composure and defense goes to sh*t from the throbbing pain in her nose. Another one two jabs leaves her stumbling backwards... and then Cole FLOORS HER WITH A RIGHT HOOK!! Down Luisana goes as she slams into the canvas on her side in a bloody mess!

The referee starts the count as Taylor celebrates by raising her hands to the crowd, but Luisana still on all fours by the count of 7… collapses back onto her chest at the count of 10! It’s over!

Official Decision: Taylor Cole defeats Luisana Lopilato via KO6!

After: Tough gig for Luisana as her side swarms in to check on her, whilst Cole looking grateful that it’s not her who’s been beaten to a pulp. The brunette ignores Luisana and makes straight for the waiting reporters.

“I knew it! I told ya so,” the brunette excitedly says post-fight. “Didn’t I say that she couldn’t tangle with me? Go back to the kiddie pool,” Cole concludes with a laugh and twirl of her robe as she saunters back to locker room.

Luisana no comments after she’s brought to and face checked for damage. She’s quickly escorted backstage, clearly tears starting to well up in her eyes at the shock lost. For a moment, looked like she had gotten the veteran on the ropes, but that fragile nose of hers got in the way and then it all went downhill from there. Trainer Corey Saucier representing the Vixen as he reassures the crowd that Luisana’s gonna spring back from this loss and get even better.
