Joanna Krupa v Jessica Alba

(Words: CBR / Results: Lookout!)

As the audience awaits for the fighters to walk into the arena, we get to talk to a well-known FCBA journalist who shares his thoughts on the match: "This will be a good fight, even though it's probably regarded as a filler-bout by many as the participants are no longer in such a demand as they were ten or twenty years ago. I enjoy watching Alba fight and I'm happy that she gets more ring time lately, and now that she's in cougar-land I hope to see more of her more frequently. Joanna is a fantastic puncher and even though that, career-wise, she did less than Jessica on paper, we can compare them easily - both ladies fought the great Charlize and lost the first time they met, yet Jessica still didn't get the chance for a rematch, but, later in their careers, Joanna beat Theron and she did it twice. They fought different fighters and came from different backgrounds, and even being two years older, I think Krupa is regarded as everyone's favorite tonight, but I hope to see Jessica back in her full power. In fact, neither lady has too much to prove, the best moments of their careers are probably behind them, but Joanna's here to scratch another famous name off her list of celebrities she wants to beat and Jessica wishes to establish her position in the cougar waters her age recently brought her into.

And they did a good job of promoting the match on social media, very active and creative, with Jessica stating that "I fought the best and got my first belt while she was shooting porn. She should go back to what she did back in the day.", which Joanna found insulting, of course, and fired back a: "To be honest I did come late to the party, if I was interested in celebrity boxing earlier, this pathetic excuse for a fighter would not dare to fight me, ever, even at her peak, but now we'll finally meet and I'll show the world I'm the better woman.".
Then we had a good-looking Jessica in a short gym video, all tight in gym clothes, bursting with sweat, working out and punching at the camera, saying "I'm ready for you Joanna" to which Krupa responded with a video of her sitting in a restaurant in a lovely red dress with tiny polka dots, eating a pizza, saying "I'm ready for Jessica..." between the bites "... I don't spam the media every time I go to the gym. I guess, it's an accomplishment for Jessica to complete a workout session nowadays so she has to share it with the world. Silly woman." - and that just added fuel to the flame. Jessica was triggered, she said she'll knock the polka dots off the polka girl, but she quickly got a reaction from Joanna saying "I'm flattered by the comment on my dress, I like it too, but I can't wait to turn 'Into the blue' girl into a black and blue girl and I will enjoy doing it".

The verbal war was more than entertaining, but both sides stayed civil in the interviews, it turns out that they would rather stick to cheezy humorous taunts than lose some of the audience by foul language, and the marketing strategy worked, in a time of celebrities popping up on every corner and saturating the media with hundreds of new names, this match manages to draw a decent amount of attention from the media and the public and it's regarded as an interesting and entertaining cougar bout, which is more than both fighters can expect in the upcoming PPV."

And there is a cue for the first boxer to enter the arena, and it's Alba who walks in with the loud music in the background and a light show, with video beams playing a montage of her best performances over the years. The fans give her big support and she turns around and gives a little bow to the crowd as she climbs up the apron, just before she gets through the ropes. Jessica comes out of her silver robe and even though she didn't show up as 'into the blue girl', but more like a girl who slipped into the blue swimsuit, with the blue boxing gloves and matching short boxing boots, she looks marvelous as the light falls down and bounces off her high-cut one piece and her curvy legs, encased in shiny tan pantyhose. She struts around the ring banging her gloves together, then goes to her corner for some last minute advice and a shadow-boxing warmup before the fight.

It's time for Joanna to show up and she does it in style, with her red gloves held up as she stomps her way to the ring, greeted in a similar fashion, but with what sounds like a much louder support from the audience. She stops halfway and does a little dance, enjoying the attention she gets, but soon she's in the ring and out of her white robe, revealing her magnificent body hugged tightly by a shiny red high-cut one piece swimsuit with tiny polka dots printed, showing off her long legs clad in shiny tan pantyhose. With red boxing gloves on her fists and a pair of matching red boxing boots on her feet, while it's all open for discussion, judging by the crowd cheers, she wins the looks competition in a red version of her opponent's attire.

It's clear that both ladies want to look their best tonight and follow up on their verbal exchanges, but they are very aware of their own image they have to keep up with, but as the years pile up, an hour-glass figure slowly gives way to a whiskey-glass figure, but for both beauties, the glasses are still far from empty, they look fantastic tonight, and are not afraid to show it, in their own way and style.

The ref is quick to call the fighters to the center of the ring and as soon as they go through the instructions, the fighters bump their gloves together and the crowd starts cheering for the bell to start the 10 rounds of bantam boxing.

Round 1:

The fight starts in a rather slow fashion, the ladies give each other respect, showing the crowd a fantastic display of boxing, they move with grace and punch with finesse, testing each other with a jab and an occasional one-two combo. Both quick on their feet and sharp on their blows, dancing under the ring lights, they look better than they were looking in their prime, far from having a 'cougar' tag on them. Almost as if they both figured out that the crowd enjoys their looks, but expects more than an exhibition fight, they up the tempo, with Jessica tilting Joanna's head to the side with a left, then hitting her with a right to the body before heading back to a safe distance. Joanna misses with her right and it's clear that Jessica is a more agile fighter, and Krupa finds it hard to catch her. But she's putting on the pressure and Alba's on the backfoot most of the time, trying to fend her off. She's doing a good job until Joanna sends a right straight through her guard, landing clean into her face. A perfectly timed blow is followed by a step forward and a left that hits Jessica between her boobs and sends her backpedaling. But she's got nowhere to go as her back hit the ropes, Joanna set up the stage ahead, so she can move into close range with a combo to the flanks, then a short uppercut to the left boob and a hook to the face of the former champion. Jessica's covering up, but she takes a barrage of blows to the body. She tries to get herself out of the corner with a hook and a jab, but Joanna blocks the hook, takes the jab, and slams an overhand right into the left side of Jessica's face making her knees buckle for a moment. Krupa gives her body another punishing combo, her left glove sinks deep into Alba's belly then a right splats over her boob and their bodies bump into each other as Jessica grabs Joanna into a clinch. They wrestle around, leaning into each other and ref takes some time before separating the fighters. As soon as the fight continues, Joanna charges forward and lands a right to Jessica's face, but the bell rings ending the round.

Joanna wins the first one wide, looking confident in her corner during the break, while team Alba has a conversation with their red-faced fighter as they refresh her for the next round.

Round 2:

Round two starts with Joanna trying to bully Jessica into close combat, as it yielded good results in the first round, but it's Alba who switches gears and shows she's not only better at evading and countering, but she stings Krupa's face more than often without being caught by her counter punches. The crowd cheers as a clash of two equally gorgeous ladies, with a very different approach to boxing turns into a clash of fighting styles. Joanna's oriented more towards close-quarters slugging and that's exactly what Jessica's avoiding and it goes well for Alba, her gloves keep finding Krupa's face and ribs, while her feet keep her head and body out of harm's way as the heavy-handed polish model swings at her wildly. And Jessica scores a lot of shots and a lot of points, her adversary doesn't get much chance to show what she can do - until a badly timed hook leaves the latina beauty open for a right hook that explodes in her face, and with a follow up with a combo to the body, Joanna has her back in the grinder, it's the gut-wrenching and head knocking approach we saw in the first round. Alba tries to run away and regroup but gets caught again on the ropes and her body gets a punishing treatment of heavy blows she can only stop by grabbing Krupa into a clinch. Joanna doesn't like it and she pushes Jessica back into the ropes before the ref manages to pull them apart. There's another quick exchange of leather, with Joanna landing a right into Jessica's face and a left into her solar plexus before another clinch occurs followed by a short, but intense wrestling test of strength with both fighters trying to come out of it as a stronger woman, ending with their gloved arms entangled over the shoulders and waists of one another. The ref is quick to get between the two beauties and the fight continues for a second or two before the bell signals the end of round two which goes widely in Jessica's favor.

Alba walks to her corner with swelling under her left temple, right above her eyelid, be it from a head bump or a stray elbow during the wrestling sessions or Joanna simply hit her at the right spot at the right time, the winner of the round needs some endswell attention from her team, but other than giving away some beauty to the battle marks, she looks happy with her performance and it looks like she knows what to do with Joanna. Across the ring, the polish model is taking some advice from her coach, she knows she needs to tune her plan so she doesn't lose her advantage gained in the first round. All serious, she bangs her gloves together as she gets up from her stool, ready for another round.

Round 3:

Joanna goes into beast mode as the bell rings, swinging for Alba's head, but even though retreating, Jessica evades her punches easily and sidesteps to let Krupa trap herself in the corner, without landing anything worthy of her effort in the process. Agile Hollywood star is treating the model's face with a left, then a right hook, ducking under a counter punch, just to dig her gloves into her midsection. Krupa takes another series of blows to her body, then a jab to the face as her opponent goes back to her firing range. Joanna manages to get out of the corner after another exchange, but she gives an impression of a frustrated boxer without a plan, she's swinging big blows that either hit Jessica's gloves or thin air, taking a lot of well aimed sharp punches. She's not giving up her intentions to draw her adversary into close combat, but as the round progresses she has to adapt to boxing style Jessica dictates. At her favored range, it seems she scores at least three punches to Joanna for taking one. Even though that one blow from Krupa is aimed at Jessica's left eye, this is not working well for Joanna. There's a pattern that Jessica applies, she feints a left jab, then strikes with a right to the body, continuing with a combo to either head or abs, but it looks like Krupa can't figure it out as it works almost every time. Jessica's on her toes, fast and precise, clearly enjoying every moment of the fight, while Joanna slowly gives up chasing Jessica and is more or less static mid-ring, while her opponent picks her off. Krupa has no answer for Alba's tactics it seems, and it's Jessica's "boxing class" and a workout for an entire round, leaving a frustrated Joanna with a mouse under her right eye at the bell. It's absolutely Jessica's round and the former champ is walking back to her corner proudly, cheered by the audience.

During the break it's Joanna that needs more attention from her team than her opponent, her body feels Alba's promise to knock the polka dots off her, but more importantly, Krupa definitely needs to change her game as she's not looking like a winner anymore, while Jessica's mood is boosted by the fantastic round she just won.

Round 4:

Jessica is out to win another round, she's feinting a left jab to sneak in a right to Joanna's solar plexus, ducking under her right, it's a proven way to get to her, and tonight it works great for Alba, she applies her agility and technique, scoring more of points and peppering Krupa's face with another hook, then a jab on her way to her favored fighting distance.

Light on her feet and hard to catch by any punch from her opponent, off she goes for another combo, but her attack comes to a sudden halt as she walks straight into Joanna's perfectly timed right. After a loud smack of a clean punch to the face, Jessica staggers backward with a goofy expression on her face, stunned and dazed. Krupa gets her attention back with a nasty blow to the belly as she charges forward, closing the distance with a right overhand that smashes into Alba's head, forcing her into retreat, but Joanna's not letting her get out of range to regroup without punishing her more with a set of short uppercuts to her boobs.

Joanna takes the initiative and she's landing big blows to Jessica's body with what looks like bursts of wild combos, but there's a well-thought method behind it. She's picking the right moment before she comes in swinging, blocking what she can on her way, taking what she has to, until she gets in range to unleash her right into Alba's belly and flanks, quickly followed by a left to the body and she doesn't back off until she gets to her head with a right hook or a short uppercut that rattles the younger's cougar head back. Jessica's not at all comfortable with Joanna's melees, she feels the bombs landing all over her body and face, but she does her best to stay away from close combat. Countering well, her jab stings Joanna's face and lets her apply her fancy footwork and get herself out of Krupa's reach. She's very agile and manages to evade the assault, but again, Joanna's making her retreat, until she runs out of space as her back hits the ropes. And there's a big right incoming, Joanna's boxing glove flattens Jessica's left breast, then a left digs deep into her solar plexus. Krupa's got full control of the fight, she has Alba where she wants her and she unloads a barrage of blows into her belly and ribs that has Jessica's body twitching with each blow. She winces as the leather smacks against her boobs, she lowers her guard, covering up her body, and takes one to her elbow, blocking a left hook, but the next bomb blasts the side of her face. She's desperate for a clinch, but Joanna's smart enough to keep her punching bag at the preferred distance, she's not staying in the grabbing range as she wants to be able to hit Jessica with full-swing punches, and she does it well, smacking a nasty left, then a big right straight into the actresses face. Her approach leaves her open for a counter punch, but Alba is not able to effectively defend herself, a stray blocked jab and a hook whizzing by Krupa's head is just enough to show the ref she's fighting back, which is what Joanna wants her to do, she doesn't want the ref interfering with her work. We saw a similar, systematic display of one-sided demolition from Joana before, when she beat up Charlize, and that was a challenge compared to fighting her opponent now, as it looks like Jessica is already reduced into a mostly harmless punching bag. And Joanna continues her workout, with a sharp uppercut to Alba's boobs. Jessica tries to grab her into a clinch, but gets pushed back into the ropes. She swings a desperate right that bounces off Joanna's glove, then a heavy left hook lands flush on her nose. Stunned, she's unable to do anything about Krupa's right hook that slams into the left side of her face, turning her head to the side to meet a vicious left that blows her backward. And she's back in the grinder, Joanna slams another combo to her body that has Jessica almost doubled over, but a smack of red leather sends her head flying back and straightens her up, just to receive another big right hook to the face that has her knees buckle as she leans back in the ropes. The ref is about to stop the match, but the bell rings, ending the round.

Krupa walks away from her prey and heads for her corner with her gloves raised high up, getting a loud roar of support from the crowd, after a fantastic round she dominated in. Jessica, on the other hand, is a sore sight, her gloves seem heavy, dangling by her side as she slowly walks to her team. Relieved to reach her corner, she sits down heavily on her stool and leans back, her coach gets her mouthguard out and her team starts frantically working on her, but the Hollywood star doesn't look like she's got much left in the tank. Her face's a clear indicator of just how good of a puncher Joanna is, and her left eye is now half-shut, but her body is not far behind judging by the ice packs applied over her ribs and boobs. Across the ring, the polish model is playfully chatting with her team and enjoying the break between the rounds, she's doing great, she managed to undo all the hard work of her opponent in a single, fantastic round - she's got a plan that is working, so she's quick on her feet, eager to continue the fight as soon as the break is over, while her opponent doesn't look much better than before the break as she slowly walks to meet her at the center of the ring.

Round 5:

Jessica looks very static compared to herself at the start of the match, but Joanna is not in a hurry to end this fight. She's taking her time picking her opponent apart from a distance, showing everyone how she didn't take away Alba's looks, but her agility and finesse along, and she enjoyed every moment of it. But Jessica is not a quitter, and although her only chance is to survive the round and recuperate for the next one, she does sneak a couple of blows into Joanna's face, then jabs her way out of trouble and for a moment it looks like she's back in action as she lands more blows into Joanna's body, but it's just until she gets a barrage of blows to her already hurting body, almost doubling over a red glove that Krupa digs deep into her belly. She staggers to the side and eats a left, then a right hook and steps back on wobbly feet until she hits the ropes and right before another leather bomb hits her in the face and that sets her up for Joanna's right hook that almost takes her head off, her body slides along the ropes as she falls down to the canvas into a heap of brown hair and blue spandex. What a blow that was, and how she plummeted to the floor, it looks like it's all over for her, but the ref has to pull Krupa to the neutral corner, then he has a word with her and that gives Alba some extra time to try and get up. And she does her best, she gets to all fours, then grabs the ropes and slowly climbs up until she's finally back on her feet. The ref checks her up, she's nodding she can go on, far from looking her best, but she convinces the ref to let the fight continue.
As the fight restarts, Jessica immediately covers up and backpedals knowing that Joanna's back in her beast mode, and that saves her from the melee, but again, Krupa closes in and rocks her world with a right hook, sending a spray of blood all over the front rows of the arena. A left to the body makes Alba grimace in pain, a right to the chin sprays more blood and snot off her face, then a left uppercut followed by another right hook leaves her dazed, cross-eyed, and finally the ref jumps in and stops Joanna's demolition show. Joanna Krupa wins by a TKO in round 5.

The Polish beauty runs back to her corner to celebrate with her team, with her gloves held high up, her coach grabs her in a big hug and lifts her off the ground before she climbs the ropes, sending kisses to her fans and showing off for the cameras. In the background, Jessica is limp in the ref's arms and team Alba drags their fighter to her corner and helps the demolished boxer to sit on her stool. She's a showcase of what Joanna Krupa is capable of, her face is a mess, her left eye is now almost shut, with a swollen nose, fat lip and a body hiding bruises under the thin shiny, sweat drenched blue fabric of her swimsuit, a proof that Joanna keeps her promises, as even after being cleaned up and revived from her TKO daze, the girl from into the blue looks all black and blue.

Joanna enjoys her moment of victory, as she goes through official declaration, she's all smiles as she walks back to the locker rooms, taking a few moments for the reporters saying: "I really enjoyed the fight, it was my night and even though she knows how to box, I moped the ring with her, as I am the better woman.". After being asked about a possible rematch she shrugged her shoulders and asked "What's the point?" before walking away.

Jessica shares some post-fight thoughts with a few selfies after a medical check-up, still dressed in her blood and sweat-drenched fighting attire, she writes "It didn't end well tonight, but I gave my best and my fans know it. I fought well and had the match in my hands, but I made mistakes and paid for them. I'm no bitter loser and I look forward to more action in 2023. I'm ok and will be back to training as soon as I can.", a message obviously aimed at her fans, but a well-known FCBA expert sums the match more objectively in a quick tweet: "We saw a good fight tonight, what was supposed to be a boring filler bout between two young cougars turned out to be a very dynamic and dramatic clash of styles and attitudes. And it's good to see Jessica winning rounds, she even had a chance of winning this, but she fell short later in the rounds and Joanna just blasted her dreams of victory into smithereens in last couple of rounds and that's what Krupa does best, she can be cruel, but very efficient as we saw at the very end of the fight. She knows how to turn a beauty into a rag and poor Alba felt it tonight. It's hard and probably humiliating for a former champ to suffer a bad loss after a bad loss, but she's hanging in there If she could get her act together and somehow, get back into a winning streak, I think a rematch would make sense, at some point in the future, as it promises good entertainment if nothing else. As for Joanna, I hope to see her boxing big names of the past and present soon, the beautiful brutal Polish puncher has a lot to show and we look forward to it."
