BEFORE:
One of the Queens of the VIX locker-room testing her mettle tonight against newcomer Taylor Hill. Of course, that prolific status for Danish beauty Nina Agdal now being challenged by her recent loss to Brooklyn Decker, forcing everyone to reevaluate her future prospects, as though the poor girl were right back at square one in her career, having ALSO lost to Ms Decker in her debut match all those months ago.

“It’s not a nice feeling at all,” Nina intones by ringside, her entrance moments ago just as spectacular as any other tonight, complete with fireworks and sparklers highlighting her pearly-white bikini set. “It feels like I’ve come full circle, but in a bad way. One day, I’ll beat big Brook, but for now, it seems like already there are other sharks in the water looking to have a bite of both of us…” Nina concluding with a smirk, turning to face the stage just as rock music starts blasting through the speakers announcing the arrival of her opponent tonight.

Taylor Hill belonging to the new breed of VS angels, but she struts onto the catwalk as though she’s been doing this for years. Cheeky grin on her face and body framed by bright red bikini with long brunette hair flowing freely, she’s not to be outdone in the flash department. Hill’s theme tonight is that of royalty, complete with an illustrious gown draped over her shoulders and a queenly crown fastened to the top of her head. Challenge to Nina’s current status a little too close for comfort.

“Gosh! I’m excited!” Taylor intones, baring a toothy grin. “I’ve won every match so far, and just - Nina’s just came off a loss herself… So… I think I stand a good chance here.”

Brunette captivating the audience with her hidden stabs and slashes. One thing though - she didn’t catch Nina rolling her eyes whilst she was busy talking to reporters.

Girls come face-to-face and they silently survey each other without speaking another word, listening to the referee ticking off his orders one at a time. Reluctantly, they touch gloves after mutual moment of hesitation. Crowds loving every moment, of course.

Girls are in corners, readying stance to charge at each other. An explosive third match in the making - here we go with the bell!

ROUND 1:
We’re expecting a slow start to this contest, with both girls known for their measured jabbing at defenses in the opening seconds of every bout so far. Imagine the surprise when one girl smacks a clean right hand into the face of her opponent in opening seconds of this confrontation! BLAM! Just like that and Ms Hill sets the tone for rest of the match with a statement of intent. Nina getting her cheek mashed in, clearly stunned, but resolves to stun back with equal fury, sending a punch square on the nose in payback and then grazing Taylor’s chin with wicked licks. Girls hover in each other’s faces in such battle stance, evaluating options, then continue slapping leather into faces from mid-range whap whap WHAP , before circling away back to opposite sides of the ring. Already mutually short of breath, the crowd cheers them to get right back in there, and they oblige! Hill doing much to cement her place in this tourney: fast hands wreaking havoc on Nina’s face over and over again. No excuse from the Vixen this time as she can't claim to be caught by surprise in that exchange... Perhaps embarrassment of getting upstaged by this newbie finally hits her: Nina fires back in the last few seconds but Taylor simply grinning behind her guard as the blonde’s attempts ring hollow. Both girls scoring in this opening round but we estimate that Ms Hill comes out of it with a short but well deserved lead.

ROUND 2:
Nina scowling in her corner, devious plans for her opponent spinning circles in her head. Let’s see what she has planned! Agdal hoping to catch up with her lead with burst of energy at the bell, attacking Taylor’s guard with a flurry of continuous jabs. It’s as though the first round never ended folks, with the Danish model going all out to punish the new girl for her insolence at thinking she’s better. Taylor though holding up as well as any other girl can, absorbing blows on her forearms with a look of half-horror-concentration, dodging head in and out from guard and for the most part just trying not to get hit. Nina smiling however when her fists score on that pretty nose, socking Hill’s head back repeatedly and making her retreat from the onslaught. Hell will freeze over first if the Vixen is about to let her go, however - Nina crowding her breathing space, slapping fists in and out, in and out, battering the tummy, until the middle-mark passes and suddenly eats a right hand straight to the face with a return right hook! Taylor blitzing that attack when her opponent least expected it, and once again the brunette’s lightning reflexes allow her to wait for perfect moment to send another counter-punch soaring into Nina’s face! POW - last power hook finally deflected by a reeling Nina’s hastily raised guard, but she’s still seeing stars, on unsteady feet as her momentum blunted just like that. Taylor’s fans roaring with bloodlust as their girl rallies to take back what’s hers: getting in close and sending fists chopping up into tummy, battering Nina’s ribcage as the Vixen tries to cover up and get away - part of her cursing herself for underestimating her opponent- her legs already worn out from all that attacking. Last few seconds of the round see Nina gritting her teeth and forcing herself back on the offensive, ploughs through her guard and jams right hand up into Taylor’s chin, dazing her, then a sick uppercut up into the body folds Taylor over with an OUUUHHH. Before either girl can continue though, the referee gets in between them and signals the end of the second round. A vicious back-and-forth here that will definitely see an even score card!

ROUND 3:
Nina still looking unhappy in her corner, and she should be - realized that she has to dig deeper if she wants to turn the tide rising against her. On the other hand, Taylor still looking skippy and eager for more action. No wonder she fared so well against previous opponents like Ming Xi and Natalie Roser. But she hasn’t faced anyone like Nina Agdal, however. Here the models come at the bell, striding forward and doing away with formalities: Nina first to attack, jab-jab lands brisk on opponent's arms, then sick right hook almost takes Taylor’s head off if it lands... IF it had landed - Taylor swerving back and the blow just grazes off her chest. Return one-two hup hup into Nina’s sides and belly right on the money in return shots with Hill just leaning forward into attack mode, getting face-to-face to sink punches up into body with wicked chopping action. Nina gurgling as she’s bent over, now feels hot breath on her cheek as Taylor tries to exert dominance. Taylor won her previous bout through clinch warfare, so Nina starts to panic as she finds herself trapped in similar situation. But Agdal’s experience prevailing, wraps arms tight around the brunette’s chest and tries to immobilise and neutralise punching power. The girls wrestle in this position for a good thirty seconds, with grunts of frustration coming from Hill more than Agdal now that she’s denied targets to attack. Nina getting some revenge body blows in the struggle, sticks leather into paunch when Hill’s not looking. Taylor’s turn now to get folded over now, right hands buried up into her tummy in gut-wrenching action puh puh hhnngg... Girls trying to shove off of each other in the last minute, both trying to create some breathing space. As they do however, their eyes light up again when they see opportunity to swing renewed. Hill with a right hook up high, intending to swivel Nina’s head to the side, but the Danish girl beats her to it this time: wild snap uppercut CRASHES into base of jaw, whipping Hill’s head back. Taylor looks shocked as the blow lands, eyes go “What the f—??” as Nina repeats the move again: once, twice, THREE times whap whap WHAP without resistance from the stunned model, who merely stumbles backwards, dazed and groggy… She doesn’t look too good here… Guard now covering up her face but it’s too late -Nina’s fist to midsection doubles her over with a groan, and then final uppercut to the jawline AND SHE CRUMPLES ON THE SPOT!! Taylor’s IN A HEAP AND OUT LIKE A LIGHT! IT’S OVER!!


Official Decision: Nina Agdal defeats Taylor Hill via KO3!


AFTER:
Experience wins out over newcomer enthusiasm in the end! Nina hunched over breathing hard, with Taylor out like a light, arms and legs tangled up by her side. A familiar scene, ladies and gentlemen, with Nina having learnt a thing or two about timing her knockout shots.

The Vixen is smiling now, gloves removed, bending down and roughly tugging on a fistful of Taylor’s hair, then mounts her back and gestures for a mic. Still grinning, she inter-locks her fingers at the cusp of Taylor’s chin and just PULLS backwards, making a statement tonight as she arches her body in half in a wicked camel clutch. Pain shoots through Taylor’s back as she begins shouting in pain, but, Nina merciless, puts her cheek to cheek, taunting her with sweet nothings.

Finally, she deposits a broken Hill back to the canvas, and there she lies even more motionless than before. Nina then gets back up to her feet and addresses the crowd.

“Everyone’s been saying my streak is done, or that *I’m* done for that matter,” she pauses, steely eyes still trained on Taylor’s prone body at her feet. “Does *that* look like i’m freaking done to you? Decker’s got a LONG way to go before she proves herself worthy of both the Light AND Welterweight titles, and she has every chance to trip up and tumble before she gets there. So listen up Lima. I’m talking to the both of you, and *especially* you, little Barbie - you’re ALL gonna end up like sweet little Hill right here if you decide to underestimate me more!
