Intro:
The betting odds are wildly in the favour of Robyn Lawley (2-0) as she looks to keep her charge to the Diamond Boxing tournament title on full steam tonight, Lais Ribero (0-2) still needs a win in her career, she has height to nearly match Robyn, so is it too early to write off a major upset?

Before the bout the fighters were asked to speak on camera their thoughts, Robyn sat in the hot seat wearing a tan coloured dress, smiling warmly to the camera, she says "I know people already have me winning this fight but one punch can change a fight, not to say I'm not supremely confident, Lais is about to fight out how a big girl should fight when I knock her teeth out" blowing a kiss to the camera, making her point simple as she stands up and leaves.

Meanwhile Lais looks annoyed, she sits down in an emerald coloured dress, she tells the camera "I wish I didn't have to do this, especially as I hear all the talk of what round will I go down in, well (points at the camera with her right hand) you better respect me when I knock out Robyn, let's see how she does fighting someone her size" Lais stands up, shaking her head as she leaves.

Fight night in London's Royal Albert Hall, probably the sound of "Godzilla's" roar has been played in this historic venue, it does though mark the arrival of Robyn, who heads out with her coach Gena Lee Nolin, the Aussie beauty punches the air as she shadow boxes on her way down the aisle, looking to keep herself focused it seems, she steps into the ring wearing a black sports bra with silver trim, matching trunks and boots, silver coloured gloves, while her hair is tied into a ponytail, she thuds her gloves together as she yells "come on!" To herself.

Here comes the Brazilian stunner Lais with her coach behind her, she sticks down the aisle with her eyes on the ring, thudding her yellow gloves together, she is wearing a yellow sports bra with green trim, matching trunks and shoes to show her national spirit, she steps through the ropes into the ring, taking in a deep breath as she knows this is a hell of a test ahead for her.

Brought together by the referee, both women go nose to nose as Lais tries to show Robyn that she isn't afraid of her, when they are told to touch gloves, a crack rings out as it isn't a friendly tap, they walk to their corners as their coaches give them last second advice, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.

Round 1:
Kicking off the fight behind their jabs, both big women are trying to get the range where they want it, getting hit more cleanly to the face then they are really used to against an opponent similar height to themselves for once, Robyn lands the first big hit with a right cross behind her jab to knock her opponent back.

When Robyn tries to build off it she misses with a left hook, instead getting clipped with a counter right after Lais shows some nice footwork to step back then swing with her hips through her punch, Lais doubling up her jab to keep Robyn at range.

Maybe Robyn is taking Lais lightly as she is swinging in more now without setting up her shots, allowing Lais to counter her, knocking back the Aussie to her heels with a jab square into her nose followed by a right cross, Ribero not looking worried despite her record about Lawley.

It's looking a great start for Ribero till she leaves her left a little low, Robyn smacks her with a right cross, backing Lais into a neutral corner in the final forty seconds, Lais trying to soak up the pressure on her arms, taking some hard shots around her guard as she gets a taste of her opponent's power, at the bell Robyn jogs to her corner not looking worried, Lais shakes her head as she returns to her stool looking annoyed she let Robyn back in there at the end.

Round 2:
Back out they come letting loose more with their punches, Lais still up on her toes trying to keep Robyn from bulldozing through her, tapping up Robyn around her cheeks, with Robyn landing some clean shots in reply, missing with her hooks still as Lais looks the more lighter on her feet.

A one-two strikes Robyn around her nose, with a right hook following to knock Lawley towards the ropes, Lais showing some of her own power as she steps forwards, piling the pressure on the Aussie to the delight of her coach, drilling in some nice punches through the gloves of Robyn to knock back her head.

A push knocks back Lais, Robyn stepping after Lais as they trade stiff straight shots, maybe being knocked back has woken up Robyn, she is setting up her big right behind a crisp jab now, still Ribero is landing some nice combos with her faster hands between them.

Final moments of the round sees Robyn trying to press forwards, missing with a left cross, she gets hit with a right under her left eye, then a left hook turns Robyn's head, when the bell rings Lais raises her arms in the air as she stares down Robyn, showing she isn't hit to be her punch bag, Robyn getting told off by Gena as she sits down, she nods as she taps her gloves together.

Round 3:
Walking out to the center of the ring, Robyn waving Lais to bring it with her left, both women trading single punches as they look to control the action, Lais marking up the cheeks of Robyn as she dances around the outside part of the ring.

A straight smacks Lais on her nose, Robyn pressing her onto the ropes, whacking in several cross punches to the side of the Brazilian fighters head, Lais pulling Robyn into a clinch, with both grinding foreheads as they try to prove whose the boss here, referee breaks them apart after a struggle.

Now Robyn is getting her rhythm going, with her right starting to knock the head back of Lais, who is finding herself needing to box off the back foot, not looking as sure with the firepower coming her way, Robyn landing a left cross after another hard straight shot.

A left hook turning the head of Lais, she is driven into her own corner, an uppercut snaps her head back as she is starting to look shaky, trying to fight back but she is being bullied against the turnbuckles in the remaining moments of the round, at the bell Lais gives Robyn a shove, Robyn not biting as she turns on her heels to head to her corner, Lais getting wiped down as her coach tells her to cool off, Robyn meanwhile sitting with a happier camp around her.

Round 4:
Coming back out her corner looking determined to hurt Lais, Robyn is catching her more cleanly now she is rifling in her jab, quickly a jab/right hook combo knocks Lais back to her heels, the firepower of Robyn really denting her confidence as her expression has changed.

Lais trying to smack back Robyn, instead a right cross is parried, an uppercut instead smacks Lais to rock her head back, with Lais being reeled back towards the ropes, A RIGHT HOOK SMACKS LAIS ON HER CHIN TO SEND RIBERO DOWN ONTO HER RIGHT SIDE!

Robyn jogs to the neutral corner, bouncing on her toes as she stares at Lais, 1...2...3.. Lais rolls to her back, laying under the ropes, 4...5...6...7.. Eyes shut as Lais looks out of it, 8...9...10 it's done! Lais can't beat the count!

Winner Robyn Lawley KO Round 4

After:
It isn't exactly a shock that Robyn won, she did get a workout though as she raises her arms in the air, cheeks marked up, a big smile on her face as she enjoys the applause and cheers from the crowd, Robyn getting a nod from Gena as she returns to her corner, along with a quick telling off not to take any of her other opponents in this tournament lightly.

While Lais has to be helped back into the ring properly, she is blinking to clear her head as she is slowly raised up to her stool, Lais looks dejected as she started strongly but again finds herself bulldozed when it came to the pressure coming her way, her coach needing to console her.

Robyn doesn't exactly shed a tear for her, a quick look over to see if Lais is OK, then she focuses on getting her gloves off, chatting away to Gena about the fight, Robyn giving a wave to the fans chanting her name as she smiles warmly to them.

Once Lais is OK she is helped out the ring, going to the back as she just wants to be away from the ring, Lais keeps showing glimpses of good skills, she needs to find that spark that will get her the first win of her career, this tournament might end up being a very bruising experience by the time it ends.

On the opposite side of things Robyn gets her left hand raised by the referee, making it three wins with no defeats in this tournament, Charlotte Flair, Kate Bock and now Lais Ribero on her record, things are only going to get tougher for the tournament favourite as she steps out the ring, waving to her fans as she walks up the aisle.
