Intro: A battle of supermodels opens tonight card in Queensland's Carrara Indoor Stadium, Sara Sampaio and Suki Waterhouse meet in the ring. Sara is 26 years old, she stands 5'8 and holds a record of 4 wins, all by knockout and 2 defeats. Suki is also 26 years old, she stands 5'9 and holds a record of 0 wins and 5 defeats.
The fighters were interviewed separately on the BBU TV network by Denise Van Outen before the fight took place. Sara told Denise "I won't pretend that it isn't frustrating when you are ignored for the more successful fighters in the stable, though I can't say I don't understand but I am going to show why I can be the best my stable and the world" She changes the subject as she says "first though I have to get past Suki, who can be best described as the forgotten woman, I mean getting your ass handed to you 5 times will do that to a person, too bad for her I am going to make it 6 times unlucky" smiling as she nods at Denise and leaves the set. While Suki looks a little annoyed "why the hell do I have to fight a nobody like Sara, my bestie Cara (Delevigne) can't be here as she is busy, so it is me alone in the out back" Her demeanor changes as she smiles, telling Denise "but I get to beat up Sara I guess, I mean that will more then make up for this trip I guess" she heads off after giving Denise a hug.
Fight night; out comes Sara with her coach Taryn Terrell and Eva Carneiro, she bangs her gloves together as she heads down to the ring, nodding to the fans as she goes. Her attire is a violet bikini top, tight matching trunks, violet gloves with black thumbs and violet shoes, her brunette hair is braided. Climbing into the ring; Sara jogs to her corner and mounts the bottom rope, flexing her arms to a cheer from the crowd before hopping down and warming up. Suki now comes to a loud cheer; she struts down to the ring with her arms in the air, a cocky grin on her face as she does a lap outside the ring. Her attire is a yellow bikini top; matching tight trunks and shoes, she has white gloves on with yellow thumbs, her blonde hair is braided. Getting into the ring; she jogs over to her corner and begins to warm up, ignoring Sara as she shadow boxes with the top turnbuckle in her corner acting as her opponent.
The referee begins both women to the ring centre, where they go nose to nose, eyes locked in an intense staredown as they try to get into each others heads. When asked to touch gloves, they bang them together before they jog to their corners, once everything is ready; the referee signals for the bell to begin 10 rounds of lightweight action.
Round 1: Neither fighter rushes out, both begin the fight by feeling each other out with probing punches, Suki looks to actually be landing the better punches in the early exchanges. Suki looks comfortable up on her toes, moving around Sara; who looks to be measuring her up too much, instead of going all guns blazing. The blonde sidesteps when Sara does try to catch her with a left cross; Suki instead lands a double jab to the side of her opponent's head. The crowd look a little surprised by the action as it hasn't really come to life yet, Suki happy to work on the outside as Sara continues to feel her way into the fight with jabs. As the round comes towards a close, Sat parries a jab from Suki and surprises her with a straight off her chin and two stiff shots to the sides of her body. Both fighters letting their hands go in tight as the bell rings; Sara stares at Suki; who just turns her back on her and heads back to her corner. Suki's corner looking the happier of the two camps, though Suki is warned not to think the rest of the fight will be this simple.
Round 2: The pace seems to be the same as the last round; both women happy to box on the outside, circling and snapping single punches towards the others face. Sara looks to be moving her head more now and soon she slips under a right to come inside to work the abs of the English fighter. Suki pushes Sara back and looks to step up the intensity herself, leading to the fighters trading on the inside, almost looking like they are brawling as they go back and forth. The brunette uses her left to land a cross, then dips under a counter right to come up with an overhand right that catches Suki across the top of her head to knock her back. Now Suki finds herself under fire as she looks to box off the back foot; Sara deflecting most of the punches as she looks to move in closer. Sara seems to have found her gear as she slips under another jab; this time targeting the body of her opponent to make her groan out and need to fire back up top with two punches to force Sara to step back. The late part of the round sees Suki manage to catch Sara on the nose with a straight, this time the blonde pushes forwards with two more punches slamming into the face of Sampaio to make her cover up. The round ends with the Girls Friday corner looking the happy of the two camps, Sara nodding to Taryn as they chat on what she needs to do now she has shown Suki she can get to her. While Suki looks to take a deep breath; she can be heard muttering "tonight is my night" to herself, trying to psyche herself up after her lack of success in the ring so far.
Round 3: This time Sara isn't looking to hold back, it leads to her getting caught out with the jab and straight of Suki landing on her face. Till Sara deflects a straight and comes up with an overhand right that catches Suki above her left eye, a cut opens up and Suki looks to be panicking as she retreats back. The Portuguese fighter comes on the front foot, forcing Suki onto the ropes as she drills her to the face with a three punch combo. Suki grapples onto Sara, looking to her corner as blood runs down from her eyebrow into her eye, once the referee separates them, he waves for Suki to be check by the ring doctor to boos. After they check the cut, warning Suki to protect it as the fight continues, Sara keeping her guard tight as she stalks forwards, Suki looking to stay light on her toes, stay away from the ropes and use her jab to keep Sara back. But Sara knocks the jab away and drills a right into that eye, Suki cries out as she is forced towards the ropes, the blonde covering up as Sara throws a flurry towards her head. Suki looks relieved when the be rings, heading to her corner dapping the cut with her glove, her coach sitting her down so they can work on it, telling her to ignore the cut and focus on winning the fight. Sara meanwhile sits with her eyes focused purely on her opponent, just really needing to be washed down as her face has a few marks.
Round 4: Suki is trying to protect that eye, meaning she isn't using the jab much compared to straight punches, allowing Sara to take her time on the attack. Feinting her attacks; Sara is making Suki visibly nervous as the blonde retreats back, not realising that she is near a set of ropes. Till Sara steps in with a left to the body and lands a right around the guard to the side of Suki's head, driving the English fighter onto the ropes. Where Sara begins pounding her body; Suki looks to fight back as the fighters go for each other with venomous punches. But that eye of Suki gets caught with a right cross, SUKI CRIES OUT AGAIN AND IS HIT BY THREE MORE PUNCHES ACROSS HER FACE THAT HAVE HER LEANING OUT THE ROPES, BEFORE A RIGHT HOOK TURNS HER HEAD AND SENDS HER DOWN TO HER SIDE! Suki turns to her front as the count begins 1...2...3...4 Suki doesn't look to be moving as only groans can be heard 5...6...7 her coach is urging her to get up 8....9....10 but Suki is counted out!
Winner Sara Sampaio KO Round 4
After: As the count finishes; Sara pounds her chest with her right fist and shouts "that's what you get bytch!" At the defeated Suki. Who has to be safely turned to her side by the referee, blood from that cut eyebrow has pooled where she was laying on the canvas, the ringside doctor comes into the ring to work on it. While across the ring; Sara gets a hug from Taryn, who tells her "that is what I want from you! No mercy for weak bytches!" As Sara smiles in reply. Suki is helped to stand; she looks a little shaky as her coach helps her to her stool to clean her up, Suki asks "why can I not get a damn win?" Her coach doesn't reply, though several pundits all seem to have the same answer, toughness seems to be lacking. Soon Suki is helped out the ring as the doctor wants to run a few tests to make sure she will be OK, Suki looks happy enough to just be out the ring and probably thinking about flying home. Sara on the other hand is grinning as her hand is raised by the referee; she raises her other hand up and jumps in the air a few times as she is so pleased to be back in the ring. Afterwards she leaves the ring with her corner crew, all patting her on the back as she is glad to have given Portugal something to cheer after the World Cup exit. Though some pundits say she will need to get back in the gym and the ring to get better, Suki wasn't billed as giving her problems, yet it was only round 3 when Sara started to really put her stamp on the fight, so improvement needed.
