Dorota Rabczewska vs Sara Carbonero
(Poland vs Spain)
(20-7, 20 KO vs 5-1, 5 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: This is a preview of the upcoming Euro 2020 group stage clash between Poland and Spain that will take place in Seville on June 19th. Both Dorota Rabczewska and Sara Carbonero qualify as WAGs which adds to the reality factor however former BBU champion Doda is viewed as favorite in the boxing ring - unlike Polish national team on the football pitch!

Then again Sara owns a 5-1 record and her only loss is to lightweight speciallist Lily Aldridge so the Spanish TV reporter is hardly a genuine underdog indeed. She vows to stun the former champion tonight and earn herself a shot at the straps currently held by Doda's stablemate Charlotte Church.

Rabczewska refuses to accept the idea she's send in to take care of Charlotte's dirty laundry just like that: "Look, I'm still the best Lioness bantamweight around! No offense to Jessica Schwarz and her Hall of Fame medals. And don't get me started on Charlotte who should stick to JMD action only! Grr... just watch the gym tapes and count how many times I send Charlie down on her ass! That was fun!" (giggles).

Dorota Rabczewska wears a red bikini set & white gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a half-up ponytail. Sara Carbonero wears a white bikini set with orange trim & orange gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a curled ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Sara fires immediate jabbing drive upstairs and splits Doda's high guard to knock her on both cheeks before looping a stunner on the ear moments later. The Polish singer is usually the one running her fights from the front so it takes a while before she finds a response but Sara neutralizes that with an uppercut blast on the jugs and begins to maul the blonde's boobs once she locks her in the proverbial phone booth. Dorota struggles to flex her elbows as she gets bundled over to the ropes where the brunette keeps plugging her in the hole in high-octane fashion. Ugh! Maybe Spain is the boxing favorite as well as Carbonero shuts the former champion down wholesale and keeps beating her punch for punch until she has Rabczewska fuming in anger when one of the uppercuts almost spills the Pole's left breast into the open in the closing seconds. Huh! More of that, please!

Round 2:
Doda storms out of her corner to make up for that terrible opening round and clatters into Sara's face with her initial swing but the brunette doesn't back off upon impact and loops immediate response over the top which leads into a hectic head-hunting blast thereafter. Both girls go all-in and try to knock each other's heads off and this is where Doda really feels at home but she just can't smack Sara out of her comfort zone and wobbles into an uppercut series come the final minute. Sara drives in the better punches and has the singer dancing around on her toes for remainder of the round. She flicks another booming shot on the rack and pins the blonde onto the turnbuckle late but shoots over her head when trying to put the icing on the cake. Nevermind, it's 20-18 Carbonero after two.

Round 3:
Sara tries to stay in the slugging lane but Dorota digs deep to outwork her in the phone booth and carries more juice as both women trade vicious blows in the center of the ring. The Polish singer bangs in the best combo to connect with the reporter's jaw and spins her to the side before lashing out from both flanks to smack leather all over Carbonero's face! The brunette has to yield real estate but still gets pummelled back to the ropes where she embraces the Polish heat in style... until she eats a thunderous left hook on the nose to wobble into loud spasms. Uh-oh! Rabczewska spikes her up the middle and keeps raining punches to inflict visible swelling around the lips before another booming hook tears a small gash under the left eye and sinks the Spanish woman into even louder yelps at the bell.

Round 4:
Dorota smells blood and comes hassling down into the brunette's face early in the fourth. The swarming attacks are maybe one-dimensional but they force Carbonero into a hectic retreat when the blonde laces her up on both cheeks again. Doda almost gets carried away by the sudden shift of power and loses her precision but she still keeps Sara dancing around on her toes in pure avoidance during the second minute. She finally clatters into her flesh again and packs more jabs on target to leave the Spanish woman hugging the ropes. Sara can't fire back hard enough to halt the blonde's recovery and eats another wild hook on the mouth right at the bell.

Round 5:
Rabczewska keeps coming forward but doesn't land enough big shots to scare the brunette off and gets dragged into a gut-checking drive as some Spanish flags begin to fly inside the Cardiff Arena. Doda aims high while Sara goes low with a better revenue as she nails the singer on the solar plexus and keeps dropping harpoons to regain the superior stance. She shoves Dorota back and ducks underneath a swinging reply before blowing into the Pole's rack with a heavy uppercut combo. Ugh! Doda winces in pain upon impact and wobbles forward to meet a brutal uppercut on the jaw that sends her flying onto the ropes in no time... she bounces off them to meet instant punishment as Carbonero tees off and hammers a left cross on the brow ridge THAT FLOORS THE SINGER ON THE SPOT!!! Uh-oh!! Sara shouts back at the fallen rival as Doda ends up on all fours and even the delayed count doesn't really help her a lot... she makes a slowish recovery at eight and looks genuinely rattled by the experience while Sara jumps in all guns blazing and NAILS the ailing blonde on each temple before busting her in the solar plexus again. Dorota gets pounded back to the ropes where she slumps into loud spasms while Sara keeps thumping her up the middle to the point the Pole's arms go numb and she sinks into a blubbering wreck demise. Uh-oh! You know what that means! REF STEPS IN AND PULLS THE SPANISH VIXEN OFF HER PREY!!! Only nine seconds left on the clock in the fifth but Doda just couldn't hang on to live another round! TKO5 Sara Carbonero!!!

AFTER: This should be called a genuine upset if only due to Sara's light schedule. Give her 20+ fights and she'd be Top Five in the division without a shadow of a doubt. Even Denise van Outen has to concede this performance was extremely impressive and Sara's contender status must be taken seriously from this point onwards! Spain throttles Poland inside the boxing ring and we must assume they follow it up on the football pitch next week as well. Dorota is too dazed to argue the stoppage in her usual bitchy manner and just stares down the cheering Spanish entourage with a hollow look in her eyes. You just don't see that happen with this former champion everyday, folks!

Official Result: Sara Carbonero def. Dorota Rabczewska TKO5.
