April 25, 2023,
While we won’t say this match has been a long time in coming, we would surmise, it is about time that it happened.
It is an unlikely matchup.
They have been in the same circles and yet we sense this is the first time they are meeting.
Serbia’s Rage vs Hungary’s Kim Biceps is more about Kim’s progress than Rage’s.
We know where Rage’s wrestling seems to be since we have followed her for years at smaller wrestling clubs, larger London wrestling events and on the current world’s largest stage at Antscha’s events in Hungary.
We’ll tread carefully but because Rage is so sexy and good looking, not an exaggeration, our research indicates that her wrestling is elevated in others eyes because of that.
Can we be direct?
They over estimate her.
Rage is a very good wrestler but the elite tend to defeat her fairly easily. A recent example of that was Sheena’s complete woman handling of her.
Kim on the other hand is newer, has wrestled a lot, but we would not describe her as a rising star, say like Silvie of the Czech Republic or Dolly of Hungary.
Kim seems to have hit a wall.
Yes, she can easily defeat newbies but given her MMA abilities, muscles and experience, she should be grinding out far more victories than she has.
Speaking of Silvie, even on Kim’s Hungarian turf, in front of her home crowd, Silvie completely mastered her and at one point, even angrily scolded her as Kim lay passively underneath and said nothing.
We are from the elite high school sports world where our athlete finished number one in California, the most populated state in America, in the most brutally competitive men’s track and field event, the 100 meter.
It is where the state’s fastest race horses compete.
In that year, every quarterback, wide receiver, defensive back and running back, in the state of California, who went on to play in the National Football League, we defeated all of them.
We have built a female tennis star as well.
The point?
We’re not pulling thoughts off the top of our heads. It is based upon experience, at least at the statewide organized high school level. Our analysis?
Kim Biceps is an under achiever.
What does that mean exactly?
She has the skills and abilities to win more matches than she is currently doing.
Which brings us to this match.
We have not seen this match yet, but based upon our research, even though Kim has the skills to defeat Rage, we doubt that she will.
If fact, we would be shocked if she did.
Why would we say that?
Let’s sit by the fireplace and chat for a bit. Is that okay with you?
We spoke about building a female tennis champion from scratch but that is another story for another day. For now it is just for credibility in what we are about to briefly speak of.
A STRONG COMPARISON
When the 2023 Australian Open Grand began, America’s Jessica Pegula was ranked a mighty number three in the world. We have been fascinated with Jessica’s career because, for years she has toiled in the provinces, with mediocre results.
Then she finally started to make her move.
She got great results at the smaller tournaments but when she made it the Grand Slams, where it counts, Jessica could never make it past the quarter finals.
This year, everyone, including us, thought it could be different.
Femcompetitor Magazine wrote about that.
AO 2023, Quarters, Jessica Pegula, Been There Before, This Time Feels Different
Jessica is a steady player but not a hard hitter. She rarely aces you on her serves. The great Serena Williams, when she wasn’t playing well, relied on her smashing serve to get her back into matches and close them out.
Jessica doesn’t have that, but what she does have, is very solid and improving.
Why did we think the 2023 Aussie could be different?
Let us count the ways.
Serena Williams was not there.
Naomi Osaka was taking off 2023 and did not enter.
Ash Barty had retired.
America’s Danielle Collins and Coco Gauff got knocked out in the earlier rounds.
America’s Madison Keys got bounced early.
The world’s number one player Iga Swiatek lost early too.
Are you starting to catch our drift?
It wasn’t a matter of who was there, in some ways it was a matter of who wasn’t.
When in the world is Jessica going to get another opportunity like this at a Slam?
If she wins will there be an asterisk?
Absolutely not.
Like an NCAA Cinderella football team that makes it to the final four championships, from a weaker Power 5 conference, you can only play the people on your schedule.
If Jessica wins this hard court prize, years later, no will care who she played against.
She will be in a rare category.
A Grand Slam Champion.
The sea was parting for Jessica.
It was time for Jessica to get past the quarters. For years she has been toiling in the provinces and now she has finally made it Rome. On the world’s biggest stage. In front of the emperor. Her opponent?
A veteran warhorse in Victoria Azarenka.
Who is she?
A once top tennis player whose best results were almost ten years ago when she fought toe to toe with Serena Williams in the legend’s prime.
Victoria is internally as tough as they come.
This time, will Jessica be an overachiever and get past the quarters?
Not a chance.
Victoria demolished her in two sets, and in our minds, the worst part about it?
Jessica didn’t even put up a great fight. Once she lost a mildly competitive first set, she was finished.
Good gracious, what more did she want?
Which now brings us back to Kim Biceps.
Like Jessica, Kim is solid. Also like Jessica, Kim doesn’t seem to have a killer ace.
Our suggestion to Kim is that she needs to temporarily get outside of her Hungarian circle and purchase some MMA training from a top specialist who doesn’t know who she is. Yes, she can get sensational training from Antscha, Viktoria and Orsi B., but we sense they are just too familiar with one another.
With a new MMA master, it is there she needs to be trained in that killer submission hold.
She doesn’t need 5 killer submission holds.
Just one.
That’s all.
It will change her game dramatically.
The problem in staying in one circle is that a pecking order develops. You know you are supposed to lose to person A, with more experience, so you do. This, in our opinion, is what happened to the incredibly sexy Jenna.
She wrestled for years but never made it past the quarters.
She had some solid results, including defeating the muscle girl Dolly, early in Dolly’s career, but when Jenna made it to Rome, at the great Femwrestle Events, then, the world’s largest stage, she got demolished. The only person she could muster one of her few victories against was Germany’s fitness girl Brenda.
Our research indicates that Brenda never defeated anyone there.
Even though Jenna was a completely gorgeous Session Woman, when we look back on her wrestling career, we see it as a cautionary tale.
If Kim doesn’t change her strategy, that could be her fate as well.
Maybe.
Hopefully not.
Okay, with that as a back drop, let’s get a glass of wine, throw another log on the fireplace and watch Kim vs Rage.
KIM VS RAGE
The two girls begin in their knees.
Kim strikes first with an aggressive lunge towards Rage’s head. Even pushes her downward. Rage fights back, keeping Kim at bay and Kim leaves her right arm exposed on Rage’s chest who quickly traps it in an arm bar.
Rage is slowly turning the tide. She pushes Kim across the ring and, disheveled, Kim gives up her back and Rage pounces on it. Rage now is behind the stealth Hungarian brunette and, in a position of strength, contemplates her options.
She encases Kim in a body scissor, not for submission, instead for control, as she tries to apply a choke up top while Kim tries to break it up and does.
Totally in control, Rage mounts her muscular opponent while Kim is bent over. Once bent over on top of Kim’s back, Rage now raises herself erect and as soon as Kim senses that, she raises up as well, only to fall back into a rear naked choke as Rage traps her near the ropes.
Rage cranks on the choke. Kim is hopelessly trapped and taps out.
1-0 for Rage (3:00).
As they engage, Rage dares Kim to attack her as she stays in a sitting position with one leg forward.
Kim bites the bait and attacks.
Rage counters by using her legs to attempt some form of control.
In their struggle, there is a break in the action as Rage accidentally kicks Kim in the head.
Once they begin again, Kim does something intriguing.
She stays back and does not rush Rage.
Very good.
A cat and mouse game now ensues. Kim is keeping her distance and waiting for Rage to come to her. Now a silent war of attrition is starting to occur. In all of our match reviews of Kim, this is the first time we’ve seen her do that.
The quiet on the Western front continues.
Kim quickly springs like a cat and encases Rage in a head lock, tightens it and takes Rage down to the mats.
Kim makes a mistake and doesn’t stay away from Rage’s legs as Rage uses her beautiful porcelain weapons to trap Kim in a head scissor.
Kim breaks the hold.
Her elation may be temporary as Rage, in a cross body position, is right back on top of her.
We would say at this juncture, given that Rage is most likely the favorite, it is extremely important for Kim to not let herself get submitted. Being down by 2-0 would be a hard hill to climb.
They continue to struggle with Rage on top.
Rage is now moving in for the kill.
She elongates her body over Kim and trudges forward, capturing Kim from behind the neck, clenches her arms tightly and begins to smother the Hungarian princess. Kim is in trouble, as you can hear her muffled breathing, from the pressure of Rage’s chest.
It’s too much. Kim taps out.
2-0 for Rage (6:10).
Kim needs to be very careful here or this could turn into a rout.
As they engage, Kim cautiously tries to grasps Rage’s wrists who counters more effectively and soon is on top of Kim, now fighting once again from the bottom. This is starting to remind us of Dolly vs Bianca where, once Dolly made a mistake, Bianca would not let her off that mat floor.
The entire match.
Kim seems to be falling into the same trap.
Once again, Rage is gaining control from the top.
They struggle for some time until Rage fully mounts Kim as Kim, flattened out, kicks her beautiful tanned legs from the bottom.
Rage, looking absolutely gorgeous in a dark sea blue once piece, is positioned now to open up the playbook.
Kim is bravely trying to fight Rage off from the bottom but is expending way too much energy to do so.
The Serbian princess now sits up erect on Kim’s chest. Where does she go from here?
She tries to attack Kim from behind her neck to bring her closer to a smother. Kim is effectively blocking her potentially crushing movement with a tight two arm clinch.
Surprisingly, Kim manages to get to her feet, hovering over Rage, but the porcelain maiden makes a brilliant move with two ankle grabs, pushes Kim backwards and is now on top of her.
As she sits on top of Kim, Rage is doing everything she can to separate Kim’s arms and penetrate her defenses.
She does.
Rage now encases Kim in that dreaded triangle choke as Kim struggles desperately to break free. Rage clasps Kim’s left arm in a tense arm bar and it is curtains.
Kim taps out.
3-0 for Rage (10:30).
For all intents and purposes, if Rage does not let up off that gas, this match is over.
Where does Kim go from here?
As we stated in our analysis, Kim is very skilled, but has no fierce weapon that a wrestler at Rages skill level needs to fight off.
Time to fight again.
The cat and mouse game begins as well, as Rage purposely begins in the sitting position, waiting for Kim to attack and fall into her leg traps.
Kim leaps at her head.
Again.
The Hungarian girl doesn’t appear to have a Plan B.
Rage scissors Kim’s right leg and it appears that we are watching a sequel.
Kim is fighting back but with no real plan or purpose. She leaps and traps Rage in a headlock, falls on top of her head, as she should, but once again leaves her neck exposed and Kim uses her thighs to trap Kim in another head scissor and take her back down to the mats. Kim lets go of the headlock and Rage, once again is in control.
Kim, looking so sweet and feminine, is now allowing the superior warrior to have her way with her. It is silently erotic as Kim is essentially conceding and is helplessly being dominated. Rage transfers her into a triangle choke and Kim quickly taps out.
4-0 for Rage (12:00).
Our only request to Rage is to not let off of the gas.
Finish strong.
Rage begins again in the sitting position. Kim stays back. Rage is daring Kim to move forward, even swinging her legs in a slightly taunting manner to let Kim know, if she comes forward, those legs are going to trap her again.
As rage keeps swinging her legs, Kim, on one knee, stays stationary as if to say “what are you doing”?
No matter. Rage is going to keep doing it until Kim stops it.
Kim becomes impatient, leaps for Rage’s head, who then confidently traps Kim in a floor to standing body scissor, clasps Kim’s arms but the hold is tenuous. If Kim can break the hold, she is right on top of Rage.
The upper arm hold is broken but Rage continues to control the action with her legs.
They struggle and struggle against the ropes for some time as Rage keeps inching towards the top position, out maneuvers Kim, and finally gets.
The shapely long haired European girl is now in control, again.
Sitting on a helpless Kim’s chest, Rage considers her options.
They struggle like this for some time. Rage can do this all day. It is Kim who needs to get off of her back to mount any offense. Rage is very strategic and sits on top of Kim until the match concludes.
4-0 for the winner Rage.
We feel our pre-match analysis was spot on and in some ways, we wished Kim had proved us wrong.
But once again, she didn’t.
