BEFORE:
Diana looks a little impatient for once from her seat at the press podium - the Siren has seen a constant bounce-back over the last few years as the ex-Flyweight champion, beating girls like Victoria Justice and Arianny Celeste to (hopefully) cement an eventual comeback. Here, tonight, however, her impatience could simply be from the fact that Rosenow’s running late to the event.

“I know she’s busy, so are the rest of us, you know?” Diana says to reporters with a frown. 

When Rosenow finally arrives in the press hall, there ain’t no apology or remorse on the blonde’s face, which draws further ire from Korkunova. 

“Well, let’s get started, shall we? Jenna says, taking her time to sit down with a full-blown ignorant smile.

“She has some nerve, doesn’t she? I’ll tell you what, Jenna. I’ll do us all a favour later and cut you down in record time. How about that?” Diana huffs back.

“Oh, honey. Don’t get your panties in a twist. I’ll tell you one thing: I’m fully confident in punching Diana out tonight. She usually fights at Fly, and despite the difference in our fight experience, I know I have enough power to snuff her out.”
 
Ladies don’t like each other from the get go, it’s clear. They storm inwards at the podium, staring down with eyes locked, refusing to back down till the ring official forces himself between them. 

Fight night and Diana is the first to enter the arena, walking down the ramp in a black sports bra and short white tights. She’s looking serious indeed, a white sports jacket and hoodie draped over the top of her head. Next down the aisle is Jenna Rosenow, looking equally ready for her third ever rumble in the ring, dressed in a red sports bra and dark blue boxing trunks. In the ring, the gloves are being tightened on both their arms: Diana in a pair of red, Jenna in white. 

There’s the wave of the referee’s arm and HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Bantamweight action!

ROUND 1:
Jenna gets aggressive early, falling upon her bigger size and bulk to try and overpower Diana with strapping swings at her head. Rosenow isn’t at all troubled by return combos by Korkunova, who first has to contend with left-right shots to the arms and body to try and deter her opponent. Jenna does a good job of exerting herself, crowding Diana backwards whilst banging hard swings into the Siren’s head and arms, each time throwing her off balance slightly. However, past the middle minute, Diana starts moving in a blitz formation, picking up her pace with faster left-right lunges and dashes, using her agility to score more accurate shots to Jenna’s face. Rosenow suddenly heard growling, frowning, as another combo catches her hard off the top of the brow, which results in a trickle of red flowing down one side of her face too early! Uncharacteristic smirk from Diana as the bell rings and the referee is forced to check on Rosenow’s status by the ropes. The Siren’s prophecy just might be fulfilled, it appears, but Rosenow is already trying to shirk the ref off, wanting to continue the fight at all costs.

ROUND 2: 
Jenna wins minute one, ignoring mounting damage to her face and still attempting to blow Diana off her feet with strong rushes followed by stronger attacks to Diana’s arms. Korkunova on more than one occasion lets out a grunt and goes stumbling off to the side, her arms barely able to block off Rosenow’s hooks, especially when one of them reaches around her guard to slam into the side of her head. But Diana retaliates with her own vengeance down the line, lacing the blonde to her body with thudding hands of her own, shots fired in the intermediary and finally stopping Jenna’s advance in the very last minute of the round. Rose now looks winded and slightly hurt, her arms lowered to protect her ribs and tummy before taking a pasting shot across the face for her efforts. Diana’s on the prowl instead! The Siren may be smaller but she’s definitely the feistier of the pair, walking Rosenow down towards the ropes and continuing to bash and batter her body, trapping her down with some vicious blows that leave her gagging. At the bell, it’s clear that Jenna was almost about ready to go down, her head turned to the side by a final hook to her already damaged and cut area. Good lord - Diana really has turned her personality about, hasn’t she?! The Siren continues to defy the odds and take the second round for herself, by a comfortable margin.

ROUND 3: 
Early minute and all that fire from Rosenow is now extinguished. Instead, Diana is the one closing the distance, slowly at first, then picking up the speed and shoving hard thumps into her body for power. Jenna with no answer, groaning and backing away, trying to cover up her flanks and survive another three minutes to try and salvage this debacle. But the former champ ain’t having any of her resistance, bashing Jenna to the head before another uppercut catches her square on the tummy with a dull groan of air forced from her lungs. Rosenow attempting to clinch up with the smaller girl but it’s again another bad idea - Diana merely reaching around and banging her own mitts off her back and sides, till a shot to the liver seems to be the nail in the coffin - Jenna FALLS downwards with a cry of pain, holding her sides and middle as she CRUMPLES down to the canvas!! It’s the one and only KNOCKDOWN from Diana Korkunova, as Rosenow doesn’t make ANY effort to get back up, her face simply buried into the canvas for the entire duration of the 10-count! And just like that, it’s all OVER!!

Official Decision: Diana Korkunova defeats Jenna Rosenow via KO3!

AFTER:
“What did I tell you? I have no time for time-wasters!” Diana shouts into the microphone brief moments later, entirely proud of her victory in record time tonight. “I’m gunning for Zara again, whether she’s champion or not. She and I have unsettled business in the ring!” 

Meanwhile, Jenna Rosenow is being stretchered out of the arena, her eyes still shut as she rolls her head back and forth. Her ambitions of beating the former champion are lying dashed just like that reopened cut above her right eye having spewed splashes of red all over the once-pristine canvas.
