Intro:
Main event time in the Diamond Boxing tournament's sixth round, two of the two contenders for the title meet now, Emma Corrin (4-1) comes in with an outside chance of winning the event, Robyn Lawley (5-0) has been one of the favourites since the entire event was announced, all Robyn has to do is not lose her last two fights, they fight on Rio De Janeiro's Ipanema Beach.

Before the bout took place both women gave their thoughts on the fight to a camera set up on the beach, a red towel marks where they are to be, with both women getting their first feel of the sand under their toes.

First in front of the camera was Emma, who wore a white dress with a short skirt, holding her sandals in each hand as she stands and looks into the camera with a serious expression, she starts off by saying "my fight against Charlotte (McKinney) certainly didn't go my way, I felt good but here I am relying on results falling into place for me to win this, still I have my destiny in my fists, two wins is all I need to think about" fists tightly gripping her sandals showing how annoyed she is deep down to be in this position.

"Now it's me and you Robyn, we were both seen as the favourites to win this, I know you more so then me, still one thing I can take off my defeat was that tag means nothing, your height doesn't scare me and that cheap Godzilla roar your manager gets played over the sound systems might scare little girls, I will get right into your face and bring back the Lawley who couldn't win a fight, I am not going to be pushed aside by you and Charlotte" says Emma sternly, she marches away not in the mood to say anything more.

Robyn heads to the towel wearing a tanned one piece swimsuit, she has hands on her hips as she goes into a power pose, she tells the camera "honestly I thought this would prove the decider for the trophy, Emma has shown she can be a handful to anyone during this tournament, she certainly will be one of the fighters for the future in the division" showing respect to her opponent.

Then she grins as she flexes her right arm, adding "but I also saw that Charlotte overpowered her, I will out muscle McKinney when we fight but I'll thank her for showing me the way to beat you Emma, it's time now I grab this trophy after getting myself to this point" nodding before she leaves.

Fighting time, the ring posts have been set into the sand, the sand itself raked flat though that will quickly change, two sets of bleachers have been set up, the judges table has the water behind them, with a DJ belting out music where the fighters are to come past to head to the ring.

First onto the beach comes Emma, she is wearing a black bikini with white gloves, short hair as she walks to the ring with "Sweet Carolina" playing across the beach, she steps into the ring banging her gloves together before she begins stretching, her coach Jeri Ryan massaging her shoulders as she gives her a pep talk.

The roar of "Godzilla" plays now as Robyn walks past the DJ, heading to the ring with her coach Gena Lee Nolin walking to the ring wearing a white bikini, Robyn meanwhile wears a red bikini with black gloves, hair tied into a ponytail, she climbs into the ring thudding her gloves together as she stares at Emma.

They step to the center of the ring, eyes locked as Robyn stares down at Emma, the referee soon finishes their instructions, both women quickly swipe gloves before they turn back to their corners, fists raised as they face off across the ring, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.

Round 1:
"Ding!" Out to the center they go, Robyn starting off strong as Emma has to move around, look for ways to get inside that monster reach of Robyn, while Emma gets a few good body shots in, she is being stuffed back onto her heels by the stiff jab coming from the plus sized model.

Lawley looking solid holding the center of the ring, her straight punches when they land are knocking back the head of Corrin, as time goes on Emma is starting to find more ways in, crouching under a jab as she steps inside, landing two right hooks and a left to the body, she gets pushed off though by Robyn, with the Aussie showing off her power.

Still as they enter the final forty five seconds of the round, a missed left cross by Lawley leaves her open, an overhand left slams across her cheek, Emma follows with a one-two combo into the body of Robyn, then moves out of range as Robyn swings a right hook, the bell rings with Lawley laying down the marker.

Round 2:
Emma starts to use all the tricks she can to sneak her inside the reach of Robyn, dipping down under punches, she stabs her punches into the stomach of the taller fighter, still punches clip the top of Emma's head, with the English fighter using skirmish style attacks to keep Robyn off base.

That power of Lawley though is going to be tricky to overcome, more of it on show when Robyn times Emma coming in, a straight landing to the forehead of a crouching Corrin, knocking her back a step as Robyn follows with a left/right cross combo, driving back Emma to the ropes, Emma needing to clinch up before Robyn can unload on her, referee splits them up so they can resume.

Again with space Emma is frustrating Robyn with movement, like a bee buzzing around her throwing more combos into the abs of Robyn to score points, Robyn landing more glancing shots then clean ones as she grits her mouthpiece, the bell rings with Emma looking much more happier after such an awful start to the bout.

Round 3:
The bout is becoming a game of cat and mouse, Emma moving around Robyn, picking her spots to try to get in closer to work before slipping back out into space, Robyn starting to time her more consistently, crashing her jab into the top of Emma's head to push her back a step.

The problems start for Robyn when she is trying to land her power punches, Emma showing great mobility to dodge, Emma landing several good overhand punches to the jaw of Robyn, along with hooks to the body.

She stays on the inside a little too long, Robyn landing a short left hook to the side of Emma's head, that opens up the actress to a flush one-two combo to her face, back onto her heels goes Emma as she is forced to the ropes, shelling up as the round heads to its conclusion, Robyn swinging in hooks around the side of her opponents guard up to the bell, Robyn looks like she wished she had more time, instead having to let Emma off the hook, Emma getting told off Jeri to keep wearing down Robyn, nodding as she tells Jeri she'll try her best.

Round 4:
Boxing more around the ring as the game of chase for Robyn continues, sand getting kicked up all over as they are certainly making tracks in the stuff, Emma starts off great with her quick attacks but ends up too close to a corner as Robyn shoves her into the turnbuckles, landing a stiff jab to the face of Emma, followed by a right hook that turns the smaller fighters head to the side.

Grabbing onto Robyn, Emma gets a quick respite before they are split up, Robyn is quicker to the punch when they resume, landing a left cross to the cheek of Emma, who is tightening her guard up as she hasn't as much room to move around in, leading to her taking more punches then she was the last two rounds.

Emma decides to change tact by getting in close to Robyn, who nudges her back after taking a flurry of body shots, a straight knocks back the head of Corrin, forcing her towards the ropes, with Robyn pinning her to them, the round ends with Robyn jogging to her corner, Emma cursing under her breath as she returns to her corner.

Round 5:
Robyn looking to keep the heat on Emma, who is stepping to the left side of Robyn, wanting to keep away from the power right of the model, drilling in some crisp punches into the cheeks of Robyn, needing to jab in response as Emma is stopping her getting settled.

A missed right hook from Lawley leaves her open to a left hook on her chin, Emma then buries in a jab to the stomach of Robyn, THEN LANDS AN OVERHAND RIGHT TO THE CHIN OF ROBYN TO SEND HER STUMBLING TO HER BACKSIDE TO A ROAR FROM THE CROWD!

Could the Cinderella story come true as Emma jogs to the neutral corner, 1...2...3... Robyn rubs her jaw blinking to clear her vision, 4...5... Pushing to her right knee as she plants her left foot, 6....7....8.. Lawley makes use of the eight count as she stands, fists raised as she tells the referee she is OK.

Back they come with Emma sticking to boxing to Robyn's left, with Robyn holding her temper in as her face looks like thunder, both drilling in stiff jabs, Robyn can't seem to get a target on the smaller woman, the bell rings to end a wonderful round for Emma, Robyn banging her gloves together as she says "idiot" to herself, Gena telling Robyn to shake the knockdown off and repay Emma in kind.

Round 6:
Emma is looking more confident to plant her feet when she gets in closer, Robyn looks annoyed as she needs to push off Emma, digging her into her face with a few straight shots, Emma showing she won't be bullied as she keeps getting into the grill of the lanky model.

An overhand right catches Robyn across her jaw, Emma getting a loud roar behind her as the crowd is cheering the underdog on, she has Robyn backed onto the ropes, swinging in hooks as Lawley has to cover up, pulling Emma into a sweaty embrace, Emma needing to try to keep her face out the jugs of Robyn, pulled apart by the referee with Emma staring intensely at her opponent.

The final minute sees Emma try to keep on her opponent, a left cross catches her on her cheek near her eye, a straight knocking her head back as Robyn turns the table on her, driving Emma back the other way as she looks focused on getting back control of the round, Emma trying to get a hold of Robyn, getting shoved to her face by the Aussie, a right cross smacking Corrin across her face to send sweat flying, the round ends with Robyn heading to her corner needing a pep talk off Gena, Emma has Jeri wiping her down as they talk about the fight, Emma nodding to Jeri as she is praised for her work rate.

Round 7:
Sticking to her tactics works early for Emma, moving to the left of Robyn again till a left cross catches her across her face, a one-two combo follows to knock back the head of Emma, soon blood starts to run from the nostrils of Emma as Robyn is landing more cleaning shots.

Grabbing onto Robyn when her back is pressed to the ropes, Emma digs in kidney punches till they are broken up, referee warning Emma to keep to the rules, Emma needing to get back on the move, stabbing in her jabs to the chest and body of her opponent, she is getting caught though by Robyn as they box around the ring.

A double jab smacks Emma into her bloody nose, opening her up to a right hook around her temple area, Emma looks a little jelly legged as the power shots of Robyn are landing with real consistency now, Emma knocked into a neutral corner, shells up as Robyn tries to pound her lights out, the bell must be a relief to the GBS corner, Emma shaking her head with a stunned look, Jeri is working on patching her up, Robyn meanwhile stays standing, baring her teeth as she nods to Gena that she won't let this chance slip through her fingers, mouthpiece back in, Robyn looks furious as she taps her cheeks with her gloves.

Round 8:
Trying to stay out the way of Robyn till she can find an opening, Emma doesn't have her legs fully under her, leading to a left cross opening her guard up to an uppercut that reels Emma back to the ropes, GLOVES ARE DOWN ON EMMA, A NASTY RIGHT HOOK LANDS ACROSS HER FACE, TWISTING CORRIN AROUND TILL SHE COLLAPSES BACK FIRST, HEAD AT THE FEET OF LAWLEY! REFEREE DOESN'T BOTHER COUNTING AS THEY CHECK AND JUDGE EMMA IS OUT COLD!

Winner Robyn Lawley KO Round 8

After:
While this won't be one of the best performances from Robyn, that knockout might be one of her most satisfying, there's a few boos mixed in with the cheers, people wanted to see the underdog get the win, instead it's the "kaiju" like figure of the welterweights who gets to roar once again.

Returning to her corner, Robyn has a rye smile on her face as she shakes her head, in disbelief that she was pushed so hard tonight by Emma, maybe showing a lack of respect to the talented English fighter, Gena wipes her down and promptly tells her "you can't perform like that against Charlotte, she will eat you alive" Robyn nodding as she know that is true.

Meanwhile Emma is helped awake with smelling salts, groaning as she holds her left cheek as there's some puffiness around it, a stretcher is brought in as she is shook up, there's a round of applause as Emma is carried out the ring, the crowd showing respect as she was so close to upsetting the physically larger fighter with her speed, instead it's back to the drawing board as this is her second defeat in the tournament, her feints hopes at winning are totally gone now, simply all about finishing strong after such a great tournament for her, not to let it all end on a sour note.

Meanwhile as Emma is carried from the ring, there's a guest who marches onto the beach with her coach, Charlotte McKinney still has her fists taped as she steps through the ropes, Robyn has her gloves off as she sees her final opponent of this tournament in the ring, winner takes all in a months time.

Coming together as Robyn steps out her corner, Robyn says to Charlotte as hands are on hips "come to congratulate me now on the tournament" making Charlotte grin, then a right handed slap smacks Robyn on her cheek, causing all hell to break loose as Robyn swings a slap back, Charlotte trying to trip up Robyn as she grabs her breasts to whistles and cheers.

Robyn yanks Charlotte's hair, the referee is trying to find a way to break them up, struggling to do so as they push each other around, kicking up sand till Robyn stumbles to the ropes after nearly being tripped up, security climbing into the ring, one of Charlotte's boobs is free from the melee, she doesn't care at first about it till she is told by her coach about it, causing a few boos as she fixes her top.

"I can't wait to get it on bytch!" Yells Charlotte, Robyn waving her to bring it on now as both women are herded to opposite corners, insults and threats being exchanged as these two proud women want it all and neither will let their rival for the trophy stop them.

Charlotte finally leaves after some coaxing from her coach and security, she gives Robyn one last middle finger salute, probably not to tell her she thinks she is number one, then marches back off the beach with an irate look that is heightened by her hair being a mess, she is David in this story of David versus Goliath, but McKinney is certainly showing she isn't afraid of Lawley.

While the winner cools off once Charlotte is out her presence, getting her right hand raised by the referee to make this result official, her eyes though stare at the leaving Charlotte, she wants this fight badly clearly, the two form women of the welterweight division fighting for the Diamond Boxing Tournament in the final fight of the event, only a month to go till the fateful clash, who leaves the champion this year?
