Up next, Luisana Lopilato first takes her seat at the press table, her demeanor calm and composed, embodying the essence of a fighter who's seen it all. Her technical prowess in the ring is well-documented, and her opponent, Georgia Salpa, while making her debut in the FCBA, isn’t any stranger to the fight game, her aggressive style and brawler mentality suggest she's here not just to compete, but to dominate.
As the press conference begins, questions from the press delve into their preparations, expectations, and thoughts on the fight. Luisana answers with measured responses: "Every fight is a new challenge, a new opportunity to showcase my skill," she states, her voice steady. "I respect Georgia's power, but the ring is my domain. It's where strategy wins over brute force."
Georgia's replies are laced with the fire of her fighting spirit. "I'm here to shake things up," she declares, her gaze fixed on Luisana. "I've fought hard to get here, and I don't plan on stopping now just because we’re fighting in a different league. Luisana's had a great run, but it's time for some new blood to rise."
The mutual taunting begins as they address each other directly. Georgia leans into her bold persona, challenging Luisana's reign with pointed jabs that go beyond the physical. "Hope you're ready to get knocked flat on your ass, Lollipop," she taunts, a smirk on her lips.
Luisana, typically more reserved, now reveals a hint of dismissiveness in response to the provocation. "It takes more than words to win a fight," she retorts, her calm facade giving way to a flash of competitive fire. "We'll see if your fists can back up your bold claims."
At the weigh-ins moments later, the physical contrast between them is apparent. Luisana, her body toned and kept in shape, hints at her balanced approach between power and technique.

The opening notes of her entrance music fill the arena, and she’s clad in a sleek, silver robe that glimmers under the arena lights, the fabric flowing elegantly with each step she takes. Beneath, the Vixen wears a silver sports bra and matching shorts, both adorned with subtle blue accents. Her gloves, white with silver trim, complete the look.

Both fighters meet in the center of the ring for final instructions, and the crowd holds its breath. After being sent back to their corners, they set into their fighting stances, and with a wave of the referee’s hand, HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Bantamweight action!!
ROUND 1:
From the opening bell, Luisana utilizes her footwork brilliantly, circling Georgia and creating angles that frustrate the debutant to the FCBA. She launches a series of jabs that find their mark with surprising accuracy, each strike landing softly on her face at first in a rhythmic “tap, tap, tap”. Georgia tries to counter with the aggression that defines her style, charging forward, attempting to close the distance and engage Luisana in the kind of brawl that favors her power. However, Luisana's agility allows her to deftly sidestep her advances, before countering with well-timed combinations that continue to land all over her face and body. A significant moment comes midway through the round when a perfectly timed counter-punch hits home, after Georgia had overcommitted to a powerful right. The left hook lands cleanly on the cheek with a “crack”, momentarily stunning the brawler. Then, the Argentinean blonde capitalizes, pressing in with a flurry of punches to target Georgia's body and head, her gloves thudding against the torso and arms in controlled bursts of aggression. As the round comes to a close, Luisana's wide victory on points is apparent. Her ability to blend technique with timely aggression has clearly outmatched Georgia's more straightforward approach. She returns to her corner with a nod of satisfaction, her strategy having unfolded as planned. In contrast, Georgia, breathing heavily, absorbs the lessons of the round, her resolve undiminished!
ROUND 2:
From the outset, Georgia takes a more measured approach, channeling her natural aggression into a focused onslaught. She begins to cut off the ring, limiting Luisana's mobility and forcing her into exchanges that play to her own strengths. The strategy quickly bears fruit: she lands a series of heavy hooks that Luisana struggles to deflect, each blow thudding against the Vixen’s arms and body with a force that reverberatest through her frame. Luisana attempts to navigate the storm with her footwork and own counters, but her foe’s intensity in this round is a tidal wave. A particularly vicious exchange sees her trapped against the ropes, where Salpa UNLEASHES a barrage of body shots that force the blonde to clinch up in an attempt to stifle the assault. There’s that brawler prowess, with Salpa hammering away at Luisana's defenses, seeking to break through with every punch! It's in the clinch that Georgia cleverly uses her height advantage, leaning into her opponent and further sapping her strength, her breath hot and heavy against Luisana's cheek, as she whispers taunts only her opponent can hear. When they finally break, Georgia maintains her pressure, her eyes alight with the fire of a fighter sensing the tide turning in her favor. By the time the bell rings, t's clear that Georgia has not only countered but widely outscored Lopilato. The Lookout! starlet walks back to her corner, a smile of satisfaction on her lips, having leveled the playing field and injected the bout with a fresh sense of unpredictability.
ROUND 3:
Luisana seems to have recalibrated her strategy, taking into account Georgia's aggressive push from Round 2. She circles with a series of nimble footwork that once more frustrates the brawler's attempts to close in. Then, she begins to land crisp, clean jabs that snap Georgia's head back, each hit to the nose and lips punctuated by the sharp "snap" that resonates through the arena. These aren’t just jabs for scoring; they're designed to disrupt Georgia's rhythm and keep her at bay. Later, Georgia attempts to mount her offense, rushing in and throwing wild pummeling gloves high and low. But Luisana's defense proves impenetrable. She employs her guard effectively, blocking and deflecting those shots before countering swift and punishing, exploiting openings with a left hook to the model’s body followed by a right cross straight to the face, drawing a grunt and shout of pain from Salpa’s lips. The turning point comes mid-round when a powerful uppercut visibly rattles the debutant, the glove slipped through the arms and landing to the base of Georgia's chin with a definitive "crack” that momentarily stalls her advance further. More body shots sap Georgia of her energy, Luisana delivering thudding under-hooks with vicious intent. At the bell, Luisana's wide points victory is once more undeniable. Her ability to blend technical skill with strategic power shots leaves Georgia struggling to keep pace!
ROUND 4:
Round 4 commences with the arena still reverberating from Lopilato's tactical victory in the previous round. However, Salpa adopts a slightly different approach this time, testing Luisana's defenses with probing jabs, looking for openings while maintaining a guard that's noticeably tighter than before. The round unfolds with both fighters exchanging blows in a tense ballet of hit and parry. Georgia's jabs become more confident as the round progresses, finding their mark on the Vixen’s face and tummy with increasing frequency. She follows up with hooks that, while not always landing cleanly, do catch the blonde on her side and arms, shaking her resolve loose one swing at a time. Luisana, for her part, remains the consummate technician, trying to counter her aggression with more precision strikes, landing a shot across the jawline towards the end of the second minute to slightly daze her. However, Georgia's adjustments seem to be paying off; she's able to return a series of body shots that, though not debilitating, score points and visibly affect Luisana's rhythm as her gloves connect with Luisana's torso with muted thump, thumps. Towards the end, Georgia manages to corner Luisana against the ropes, where she unleashes a flurry of punches, a mix of body and head shots that forces Luisana to adopt a defensive posture, focusing on blocking and absorbing the impact rather than countering. Luisana's attempts to break free and reestablish her distance are met with dogged persistence from Georgia, who, sensing an advantage, continues to apply pressure and shove her punches inwards. At the sound of the bell, it's clear that Georgia has narrowly edged out Luisana on points. Still wilting against the ropes, the Vixen looks visibly frustrated but far from defeated, returning to her corner with a renewed understanding of the challenge Georgia poses. The fight is far from decided, with both fighters showcasing their strengths and proving their mettle!
ROUND 5:
From the opening bell, Luisana adopts a more aggressive stance, perhaps sensing an opportunity to decisively shift the bout in her favor. She moves with a purpose, her jabs sharper, her footwork more deliberate, circling with the precision of a seasoned predator. Georgia, ever the brawler, meets her aggression head-on. Her punches, thrown with the desperation of a fighter who knows the stakes, still carry the power to change the course of the fight with a single blow. As the third minute approaches, Luisana finds an opening—a split-second lapse in Georgia's defense—and exploits it with a stunning jab that disrupts Georgia's guard followed by a devastating right hook that lands cleanly on the jawline with a definitive "crack"! Georgia staggers, her legs giving way beneath her as she COLLAPSES down to her side and the canvas, meaning it’s a mid-way KNOCKDOWN for the Vixen! The crowd erupts into a mix of shock and awe, and the referee moves in swiftly, beginning the count! Georgia struggles to find her bearings, her attempts to rise hampered by the force of the attack. Luisana, stepping back to her corner, watches intently, her breathing heavy but her eyes focused on the fallen Georgia. The countdown continues, as Georgia makes a valiant effort to stand back up, her determination clear but her body uncooperative. Finally, the referee's count reaches ten, and she’s unable to rise in time! It’s OVER!
