Intro:
Both of these fighters are currently tied in the rankings with one win a piece out of two fights in the tournament, can Bo Krsmanovic or Antje Utgaard keep themselves firmly in the hunt for the prize?

Going into the bout Bo started her campaign against Karen Gillan, that ended in defeat by knockout in the fifth round, she came back strong last month to defeat Bridget Regan by a fifth round knockout to keep her tournament hopes alive.

Sitting on the FCBA Network set as she talked to the camera, Bo wore a violet dress that showed off her amazing curves, she had her beautiful smile fully on show as she pushed some loose hairs behind her ears.

"I am so pleased to have gotten a win in this tournament, after the way things have went for me these past few months, the doubt was starting to creep in I will admit" Bo tells the world with a nod.

"Now though I am feeling good and to fight Antje right now, I believe I can knock her head off her shoulders, I can't wait for this fight" smiling more broadly at the thought of this hard hitting contest, sure of herself clearly going into it before she leaves making her point nice and quickly.

Antje on the other hand kicked off the tournament in brutal style with a thunderous knockout of Bridget Regan in just four rounds, to think then that last month she'd suffer a similar fate to her career rival Camille Kostek is interesting to think about.

She sat on the hot seat wearing a a white tank top with blue stripes down the sides, blue denim jeans and white trainers as she looked to be in a good mood herself surprisingly, saying "I am not here to bytch about last month" smiling maybe a little too much as if to prove she is OK beyond doubt.

Talking about this fight, Antje says "onto the next fight and boy I am going to enjoy this, Bo hits hard but she doesn't make me sweat at all, I hit harder, I am more flexible and simply tougher then her, what a way to prove all those by beating the breaks off her" Antje says with a laugh.

Flexing her arms, Antje tells the camera "look these are all the prove I need, the tournament is still truly alive for me and Bo is just a big roadblock for me to run over, no worries" standing up with a big grin as she heads off.

Fight night, Bo heads out first with Nia Peeples behind her, the beautiful Serbian model is looking relaxed as she heads down the aisle, giving out some high fives to those in the front row of the crowd before she jogs up the ring steps.

Bo is wearing bronze coloured sports bra, matching trunks, shoes and gloves, her hair is tied into a braid, she heads into the ring blowing kisses to each side, then settles into her corner as she is told off her coach to smash Antje's lights out.

Now out comes Antje with coach Kelly Hu following her, Antje is nodding to the fans as she enjoys their cheers, walking the aisle as if this were a catwalk with her arms out to the side as if saying to the world to look at her.

Antje is wearing a white sports bra with black trim, matching trunks and shoes, black gloves, while her hair is braided for the battle too, she climbs into the ring tapping her chest with her gloves before raising them to the sky, she settles into stretching in her corner.

Coming together at the center of the ring, they seem to enjoy going nose to nose, pressing their impressive bodies together in the first test of strength tonight, the referee needing a little help to separate them before the friendly shoving turns into a bar style brawl.

Asked to touch gloves, they hammer their gloves into their opponent's set with a crack of leather echoing around them, returning to their corners with a nod and a gleeful smile of the battle that is to come, both fighters fists are raised before the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.

Round 1:
At the bell both step out circling in close, letting their hands go as they try to make their opponent respect their power, several clean punches knock back both fighters head back to show these are not love taps being exchanged.

After forty seconds of this, Antje leans out the way of a left cross, slamming in a straight to the face of Bo to knock her back, beginning to press back the Serbian as she lands a left/right cross combo to the cheeks.

Controlling the ring center, Antje is looking to be on top of the exchanges, knocking back Krsmanovic to the outside of the ring, she buries in a jab to the chest of her opponent before a right cross turns "Big" Bo's head to the side.

With Bojana covering up more as Antje steps in, the blonde is working the body with hooks, almost grinning as the thudding shots fly in, Bo wincing before she gives Utgaard a shove to get her off her, catching Antje with a one-two punch as she looks to move off the ropes.

The final thirty seconds is scruffy as they fight in close, opening their elbows up with hooks, not all landing clean as they land on the shoulders and elbows of their opponent, heads grinning as they press right into each other up till the bell rings to end a strong round for Utgaard.

Round 2:
Like the first round both are moving around the middle, ramming in stiff jabs that are marking up beautiful faces, cheeks taking the brunt of the punishment, Antje just missing with a right hook as Bo reads it, leaning out the way before landing a counter left cross.

This time Bo looks to be the aggressor as she buries a left/right straight into the body of the blonde, pressing her into a corner with several clipping punches over the top to the top of Utgaard's head to turn her head.

Giving Bo a shove so she can get out the corner, Antje lands a straight to the nose of her opponent, knocking her back across the ring as the momentum turns around as they enter the second minute, Antje looking on top now as she rams in more hammer fists straight into her rivals head.

Missing with a left cross, Antje gets caught with an uppercut that knocks her head back, a left hook turns Antje's head as Bo now drives her to the ropes in this power struggle, Antje covering up as now her body takes a pounding.

At the bell they separate with hard looks for each other before they jog to their corners, marks start to cover their cheeks as they stare across the ring, Bo banging her gloves together as if in a warning to Antje about what is to come.

Round 3:
Bodying up to their opponent more as they slug it out in close, sweat with some curse words are flying as this is a real heavy metal style of fight, it seems to be who lands the first real clean power punch takes the lead on this dance.

Using her left shoulder to bump back Krsmanovic, Utgaard lands a right to the body then swings an overhand left that cuffs Bo across the ear, leading to Bo trying to sit down on her punches to fire back, getting powered back by the on the front foot Antje.

Who has Bo pinned to the ropes, head pressed into Bo's as the referee warns Antje to get her head out of their, more power punches flying off both women, being able to load up her punches more is giving Antje the extra power behind her digs.

Clinched up by her rival, Antje presses her body into Bojana's to keep the pressure on, both women exchanging taunts as the referee struggles to break these two tanks apart, when they are Bo taps her chin to tell Antje that she can't feel her hits, making the powerful blonde laugh.

Resuming fighting around the ring, Bo has some puffiness around her left cheek from some hard right crosses from Antje, but she keeps coming back for more, especially when will less then a minute to go she ducks under a right hook to come up with an uppercut that rocks back Antje to her heels.

The round ends with Antje the one on the ropes, looking furious as she storms to her corner, Kelly has to remind her that the round was firmly hers, Bo meanwhile gets her cheeks worked on, Nia wanting to reduce the swelling as they discuss tactics, Nia not happy that Bo has decided on slugging it out with her opponent.

Round 4:
Resuming around the ring with more hammering jabs to start, Bo looks to be slightly more mobile, it has never been either fighters strongest suit as they box around the ring, Antje still looking to unload her power right as she just misses with it.

A turn of pace from Bo as she uses her left forearm to nudge back Antje, digging in a right hook under her ribs, then buries an overhand left across the jaw of her opponent to send sweat flying along with a groan from the Fighting Academy star.

Who finds herself being herded around the outside of the ring, Antje looking a little stuck in her shell for Kelly's liking, getting hit square into her body as she groans out, firing mostly single punches out her guard.

Antje finally catches Bo with a good punch at the half way stage of the round, landing a right cross then a jab square into the nose of Krsmanovic, blood starts to run from the nostrils of the Serbian as she gets beaten back across the ring by a renewed Utgaard.

But a missed right hook leaves Antje open for a crunching counter left to the side of her head, Antje blinks from that shot as now she finds herself being hammered back by a barrage of punches, a cut opening under her left eye from a right cross as things are getting more serious for both women.

At the bell Antje is covering up on the ropes, Bo marches back to her corner looking disappointed at the bell, wanting to really hurt her opponent as she sits on her stool staring at Antje, who stares right back as both get cleaned up from their cuts and swelling.

Round 5:
Both are looking for that big right hand to land, with them missing early on as they are throwing with a little too much abandonment in the opening thirty seconds, the crowd watching in awe of these two big hitters.

Landing a jab to the nose of Antje, Bo opens her up for an uppercut that lands flush with sweat flying into the air like mist, ANTJE STUMBLES BACK AS BO GIVES CHASE TO LAND A CRUNCHING RIGHT HOOK THAT TURNS ANTJE AROUND! LANDING FLAT ON HER FACE!

Bo roars as she pounds her chest staring down at Antje, the referee has to nudge Bo away to the neutral corner, they kneel down to check on Antje, WAVING THE FIGHT OFF AS ANTJE IS OUT COLD!

Winner Bo Krsmanovic KO Round 5

After:
What a finish! Bo will maybe the knockout of the year as the ringside doctor alongside Kelly rush into the ring to check on Antje, who stirs after being given smelling salts, she is helped to her side safely so she can recover.

The winner not showing much concern as her adrenaline runs right through her, jumping for joy as her supporters are yelling like crazy for her, Nia rushes into the ring to embrace her as she tells Bo "that's my girl" which makes Krsmanovic shed a tear of joy at the pride of her coach.

Meanwhile Antje is finally able to be helped to her stool so the ringside doctor can check on her, it seems like she doesn't know what knocked her out there, the uppercut seemed to buzz her badly before that brutal right hook turned her lights well and truly out for the night.

Getting help as her legs are still rubbery, Antje is helped out the ring to the back as fans applaud her, she nods to them but seems in a world of her own right now, Bo cleaned her clock badly and you wonder is this a downward slope for the once second favourite for the tournament?

In the ring Bo has her gloves taken off, kissing Nia on the left cheek as a thank you for her support, she comes to the center of the ring to get her right hand raised in victory, beaming as she proved the better powerhouse tonight.

Bo has put herself firmly in the hunt for the tournament title with this win, she blows kisses to the crowd as she steps out the ring to go on a lap around it, thanking them all for believing in her as being cut from the Vixens, the way she ended last year and begun this year, Bo looks like she has found her mojo again, which makes her very dangerous in this field.
