Results: Lookout!; Story: Caspian & The Dollhouse

BEFORE:
Avril Lavigne faces her crowd of supporters in another bid tonight for the Flyweight straps. Someone give this woman the gold, already! is what the fans appear to be chanting. After competing against and defeating Becky G in her 100th FCBA fight last month, Lavigne became the 30th inductee into the FCBA Hall of Fame, being only the second fighter to have never won a championship by the time of their induction. Tonight, The Dollhouse superstar is hell bent on finally wiping that dark stain off her resume and winning her first FCBA title at the age of 38. Better late than never!
Despite being the underdog in tonight’s fight in many people’s eyes, Queen Lavigne is exhibiting peak confidence levels at the pre-fight press conference as she addresses the press.

Listen to a live audio recording of Avril speaking at the pre-fight press conference:


"Millie BABY Brown…” The Canadian begins by immediately mocking her opponent. “This b*tch thinks she's god's gift to boxing or something. She's a 19 year old brat who needs to be taught some humility if you ask me. And guess who'll be doing all the teaching tonight? Me! Duh!” Avril laughs. “This b*tch trash talked me online unprovoked. Who does she think she is!? like...Her 16-0 record is an embarrassment to the division - The fact that nobody's managed to knock her the f*ck out yet is SO lame. I'm beating her ass tonight!” Avril says in contempt of the young champion, as she turns to Millie. “I'm a Hall-of-famer b*tch, and after I f*ck you up tonight I'm gonna be the motherf*cking champion!”

Lavigne getting a standing ovation at the end of her tirade, seems like some of the Canadian's family and friends are present in the press room, here to support the singer on one of the biggest fights of her career. On the other end of the table, current champion Millie Bobby Brown sits silently, looking serious, focused and mature beyond her years, especially for someone who’s (believe it or not) young enough to be Lavigne’s daughter, with the 19 year age gap between the two ladies being a hot topic of discussion leading to tonight’s showdown. Millie’s 16-0 undefeated streak is certainly something to brag about and that - coupled with Brown’s clear physical advantage of age AND size over the challenger must be giving her plenty of confidence to calmly smirk back before responding with her own thoughts:

"Honestly, I've always been such a huge fan of Avril. Some of her songs have been part of the soundtrack to my life and her punk rock attitude has really inspired me over the years. But, having said that, she's right. Nobody has managed to knock me out yet and it's not going to start tonight with somebody who has an AARP card tucked into her panties, right? I might not be God's gift to boxing, but I AM the future of the division. Lavigne may be a Hall-of-famer now, but I'm going to be one someday too and this is going to mark a big step towards that because I'm staying undefeated tonight. If her little protégé and resident b*tch Maddie couldn't take me down, how is Avril going to? I'm going to walk out of here champion and I'm going to walk out of here knowing I've humiliated Avril. She thinks her ability to talk sh*t makes her special, but it doesn't matter if you can't back it up in the ring. This 'brat' is going to make this old b*tch cry tonight!"

Strong words from the champion as well, which earns a scoff and roll of the eyes from Lavigne. In usual circumstances, Avril would be busy sh*t-talking her opponent for her insolence, but there’s something different about the Doll’s disposition tonight, especially as the two fighters square off at the podium with their fists raised confidently to each other’s faces, making the champion’s size and strength advantage clear as day. Nonetheless, Avril continues to mouth off afterwards, because of course she does. That bratty attitude has landed her in hot water before, and some would say the older Doll should have waited a little while more… till a less dangerous champion came along for her to claim the gold. But no… Lavigne is determined to take every championship opportunity she can get.

Hours later, we’re in the ring and ready for this battle for the Unified Flyweight Championship! Millie reluctantly relinquishes the belt from her shoulder, patting it one last time before handing it over to the referee. The Lookout! starlet is one of the youngest fighters to ever clinch the coveted golden straps, and is looking fit and toned as she stands in her corner, hopping in place and stretching her limbs in preparation. Dressed in a blue sports bra and white short tights, Millie’s wearing white gloves for tonight’s contest, her brown hair in a bun. In the opposite corner, leaning against the turnbuckle, Lavigne is seen smiling casually, looking mighty sure of her win tonight. The Canadian singer is clad in her usual black and pink gear of sports bra and short tights with similar colored gloves, wearing her shoulder-length blonde hair loose. It’s clear she’s worked hard to get to this day and place, and looks as though she can’t wait to get this fight started.

Without further ado, the referee waves for the opening bell! HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Flyweight action!

ROUND 1:
It’s too important of a moment for the Canadian singer to be her reckless self. It’s a far cry from the usual, brazen Avril who would rush in at her foes at the opening bell. Here, she stalks the exterior of the ring for the first minute, weaving and blocking and fighting defensively to start. It certainly puzzles Millie, who was expecting her opponent to be charging her way the moment the bell rings. Instead, the champion is the one having to circle inwards and pester Avril’s head with punches. Millie’s getting used to this offensive strategy, however, walking into Lavigne more often by the third minute and just hammering at her arms and body with as many punches as she can muster. Lavigne’s just moving too slow to escape the youngster’s trajectory, groaning and grunting as she takes a mixture of stiff knocks and flurries to her guard, trying to return fire with the occasional hook to Brown’s guard, but its nothing that manages to bother the champion. Not the best round for the challenger, who might be biding her time for the long haul.

ROUND 2:
This cautious approach is still difficult to watch, coming from Lavigne’s corner. If the first round wasn’t evidence enough, Avril continues to fight defensively in the second, skirting the ropes fast and only poking at Millie’s face on occasion, but allowing the champion to fill in the rest of the gaps with barrage after flurry. Bobby Brown is more than happy to dish it out if her foe isn’t going to fight back…. Lavigne lets out another grunt as an overhand slams into her guard, throwing her sideways and a little off balance. Bobby Brown continues to stalk her backwards… until Avril apparently decides enough’s enough! LUNGING in with a big right cross that smashes into the champ’s face! OUCH! Bobby Brown didn’t see that one coming as her head gets knocked back! Avril gives the youngster a little education of her own as she hounds her towards the other end of the ring, a steady stream of jabs forcing the champ to cover and scram! Standing ovation from the fans as Lavigne SALVAGES this round to take it wide!

ROUND 3:
It’s slowly dawning upon Millie that there’s more than meets the eye to this older, smaller woman, and underestimating Avril’s resolve and 100 fights of experience is the last thing she should do. Girls trade leather from afar in the very first minute, but neither girl is really scoring much besides the odd connecting fist off the forehead or glove tagging the tummy when their guards are too high. Millie doesn’t want to get caught by a sudden big cross from the Canadian, and neither does Avril want to make a mistake this early in a fight of such high stakes, especially with Brown size advantage, as the champion has proven her knockout power time and time again in recent months. Lavigne ends the round, however, with a quick blitz inwards, surprising the usually stoic Bobby Brown, as several shots land and glance off her nose and lips. Before the champ can retaliate, however, Avril’s already out of range, smirking behind raised arms. Points are points, after all, whether stolen in the last few seconds or not! The challenger pulls ahead, but only slightly! And we’re only in the third round!

ROUND 4:
Bobby Brown can be seen getting chastised by her own corner before the bell, but the champion seems to still be fully focused on the task at hand. She packs the tools to put an older woman like Avril away in quick fashion (at least, according to the Lookout! members caught on the hot mic). And the LAST thing Millie should be fearing is getting out-punched in there! Bobby Brown’s nodding along at the instructions given by her coach, and at the bell, putting the theory into practice! She CHARGES in, wanting to surprise Avril early and overwhelm the Canadian with punches! Avril, however, is prepared, blocking and moving simultaneously, intercepting a majority of the champ’s attacks but is powerless to stop all of them from penetrating her guard. Millie scores off the tummy and sides in particular, at the end of the first minute driving another one-two combo straight into the belly before hounding Avril’s ribs to either side. Avril wincing and groaning, clearly hurt for the first time in this fight as she tumbles back with one arm covering her tummy, managing to put some distance between her and Millie but the champion not in a hurry to chase. Avril protecting her body as Millie approaches and manages to hold on taking a few shots to her guard, before biting back later in the round, stuffing a right hand of her own clean into the champion’s mouth to earn a gurgle. It’s not nearly enough, however, and Millie takes the round to equalize the score, walking back to her corner with a smirk as a frowning Avril stumbles back to her own corner.

ROUND 5:
Bobby Brown not giving up so easily, of course! Sound of the bell and HERE SHE COMES again, looking to crowd out Avril’s space and beat the air from her lungs! Sooner or later, the 38 year old is bound to run out of juice, right?? Avril’s showing signs of needing a break as she gets hounded down the ropes, from corner to corner, grunting as hook after big hook comes crashing into her raised arms, Bobby Brown simply stepping in close and WAILING away on her defenses, hoping to use her youthful energies and power advantage to force those arms apart! Avril with no answers, can’t get away in time before a series of nasty biffs and baffs to her body and head sends her reeling dangerously into the turnbuckle!! Might be an EARLY NIGHT for one girl, as Millie takes another deep breath and WALKS INTO THE CHALLENGER, plunging an uppercut into her midsection before DRIVING a left and a right into the remnants of her guard! Poor Avril’s first BENT OVER and groaning, with NOWHERE else to go but DOWN, her legs buckling as the Dollhouse Queen falls to her side, clutching her body! It’s the first KNOCKDOWN of this championship fight, with Millie immediately letting out a ROAR as she circles back to a neutral corner!

Avril’s hurt but alive, sputtering on her knees when the count reaches 4, trying to gauge the amount of damage wrought to the rest of her frame! She slowly tests her sea legs, one foot balancing her weight at a time, before making it to her feet by the count of 8 with some help from the ropes, denying the champion an early, dominant win! Millie glares back at her from across the ring, studying her foe’s every movement and analyzing her for more weaknesses. Lavigne nods to the referee that she can continue, and so the man does a final check on either side of her rapidly reddening face, before WAVING for the fight to continue!

There’s a minute and a half left on the clock, and as predicted, Millie Bobby Brown RUSHES back in to try and finish the job! This time, Avril’s a little faster on her feet, however, getting quickly out of the corner and reminding herself to keep both legs moving constantly to avoid getting pinned down. Millie mixes her swings up high and low, shoveling more leather into the Doll’s waistline but most of those higher hooks are met by that firm guard, meaning the champion still fails in her quest to decide this match by the time the bell rings. Still, Avril not looking too good, panting hard and looking relieved that she has a couple more minutes to catch her breath. Will it be enough, though?!

ROUND 6:
Another bad round for the Doll, who has chosen to fight even more cautiously than before. If Avril appeared sluggish in the previous two rounds, that knockdown at the end of the fifth has made her even more afraid of getting in close and tasting Millie’s power, leaving Bobby Brown to dictate terms for the majority of the next three minutes. Millie’s moving a little slower and winded as well, sure, but if her opponent ain’t punching back, it’s up to the Lookout! starlet to land as many punches as she wants to the arms and body, and as often as she wants as well, with Avril too fearful of getting dropped again, covering up her chin and allowing several combos to snag her on her soft midsection. Protecting your head might be crucial, but If Avril doesn’t prioritize defending her body soon, she might find herself living up to her ‘glass tummy’ reputation and losing yet another fight to a well-timed belly blow from her opponent. For now though, the Canadian seems content to simply hightail, leading Millie all around the ring - Why bother trying to defend against Millie’s excellent technique if you can just run away, right? By the time the bell rings, the only victory for Lavigne is in keeping herself standing as the Canadian stumbles back to her corner looking for help - gets BERATED by coach Loken for the entire duration of the break.

ROUND 7:
And it’s Millie’s turn to eat shots to her face! Loken’s wrath seems to have awoken the Canadian to some degree - Avril surprising the champion with an early flurry to the nose and mouth in the opening seconds! Brown becoming too complacent for her own good after dominating Lavigne in the previous 3 rounds, underestimates the pop-punk singer’s resolve and ferocity and leaving her guard a bit too loose and open. Avril strikes with precision and poise, driving a left hand to the nostrils before a right cross connects painfully with the chin. Millie falls back, shaking her head and stinging tears from her eyes, seemingly surprised to see her opponent fighting back. Perhaps this is her lack of experience finally showing its ugly face, but the young champion cannot afford to take the Hall of Famer lightly, especially not when her belts are on the line! Millie blocks more punches sailing straight in after her, but Avril targets her body instead, ending another sequence with a stiff biff to the side of her ribs, which makes the champ wince and whine. Towards the end, however, Millie scores her own payback, having recuperated enough at the other end of the ring to string her own left--right-left combos into Avril’s face, at one point the two women drawing mutual grunts as both their gloves made landfall at the same time. Close round to Avril on aggregate as the singer makes a resurgence to the delight of her fans, but can she keep it up as we head into the last quarter of this fight?

ROUND 8:
Millie perhaps was expecting to wrap this title defense up by now, but is looking a lot more sluggish as she moves out of her corner to start the 8th after getting an earful from her coaching team during the break. The youngster relied on her power and size thus far in many of her fights, and that undefeated streak is such a galling testament to her abilities. But Avril is intent on pushing her to her limits tonight, suddenly landing flurries both high and low to trouble the Stranger Things starlet right off the bell. Something has gone seriously wrong in Millie’s playbook, her research and gameplan haven’t prepared her for the sudden onslaught this late in the fight from the much older blonde who should be thinking about hanging up her gloves at this point of her career! But no! Lavigne’s gnashing her teeth and KNOCKING that pretty young thing’s head back with a series of snappy jabs sent in, before catching Bobby Brown on the side of her jawline, which sends the champ reeling towards the side with a loud groan! AND HERE COMES AVRIL, pressing in and pushing her way in close!! Bobby Brown eats a lunging uppercut to the stomach before getting caught by another hook clean across the cheek! AND DOWN SHE GOES, flailing briefly on her feet before CRASHING down to the side in a hail of arms and legs! It’s a return KNOCKDOWN for the Dollhouse Queen,a tired looking Avril grunts as she finally manages to take down the champ, sneering down “b*tch!” from above before waddling to a neutral corner! Could this be the final count and the beginning of a new reign?!

Referee is steadily counting Millie out from above, Bobby Brown wincing in pain and exhaustion but clearly still alive and digging deep, trying to push her flagging body up one foot at a time. Damned if her undefeated streak and title reign are to be ended tonight, least of all to someone like Lavigne - that’s the thought going through the British actress’ mind, as she finally puts her gloves up and nods at the referee to continue.

Count of 8 for the champion, who also has to survive another minute or so if she wants to take another crack at defending her crown. Avril looks on, hoping for a miracle, sighs in disappointment and frustration as she watches the champion steady herself ready for more, but quickly snaps out of it, putting up her gloves and making ready to finish what she started, if need be. Referee signals for the bell to resume, and here the Doll comes, a beeline made straight for the champion’s corner, one arm already pulled back and wanting to resume the punishment! Millie keeps herself moving, though, taking stiff shots to the center of her arms and relinquishing more points whenever a hook thuds off her side stomach or head. Important thing is her chin is well protected, and the champion is STILL hoping to outlast her older competition when the bell finally rings, leaving both competitors panting hard and chests heaving on their way back to the corner. This fight is set to continue, folks, both girls pushing themselves all the way to the finish line, if need be!

ROUND 9:
Millie’s eyes narrow as the bell rings for the ninth, barreling inwards to hound Avril with some surprisingly energetic punching. The Canadian looking gassed and out of breath after having scored that latest knockdown, can only watch in dismay as the champion springs back to life and looking to finish her here and now. Lavigne yelping as she’s getting pushed back by a shower of punches sent her way - The champ’s digging deep for one last foray, ignoring the desperate flailing hooks sent back by Lavigne to her cheek or body. Bobby Brown’s the f*cking champ and is finally acting like one, nailing Avril with a hook to the temple before a barrage of lefts and rights bash into her torso, further pushing her butt-first towards the ropes. Lavigne with her eyes bulging with each glove sunk straight into pale tummy flesh, but somehow manages to put some distance between herself and the champ when Millie begins to run out of air. Bell rings and both fighters are left pawing at each other from afar, both needing a break and a breakthrough in the final, tenth round if they hope to come out the victor of this grueling contest.

ROUND 10:
It’s a rare achievement indeed for both fighters to make it this far… Millie probably didn’t think someone like Avril could have pushed her this far, but if the Lookout! superstar wants to remain champion, she will have to deliver the goods in what is her first ever foray into the daunting 10th round of a boxing match, with Lavigne herself showing just how far she’s come to have pushed her body beyond its limits tonight against a champion 18 years her junior. Bell rings to start and we’ve got a firm stand-off for the first thirty seconds with both girls circling, clearly running on fumes at this point, tired arms not making it high enough to defend much of anything, chests heaving. And it’s Millie who’s first to attack, sending that left jab towards the challenger’s tired face, trying to find her target. Lavigne blocks that irritant with a raised arm, however, her free hand pawing at Bobby Brown’s chin in turn, surprisingly lucky in snapping the Brit’s head back by bypassing her sluggish guard. Millie’s just too tired and finding her energy reserves rapidly declining - she’d put in her utmost in the previous round and hopes to win on points alone, not to mention being the aggressor for the vast majority of this fight seems to be finally taking a toll on the young champion. And Miss Lavigne’s not having it, steadily shoving slow looking left-right combos to the arms, head-seeking tired swings that would never have hit home 2 rounds ago snagging the champ’s chin to snap her head back with more grunts! Bobby Brown hits the ropes and she has nowhere else to go, her eyes filled with worry as more punches sink into her lips and both sides of the face, making her wince and groan, and then SLUMP into the ropes, hoping to reduce her surface area for the challenger to hound! The champ’s IN TROUBLE, with Avril LEAPING in regardless, burying slow-motion low hooks into either side of her body to fold her over with grunts! Bobby Brown with her mouth hanging open as she EATS a final swing across her chin and chest, with a final wild overhand FLOORING her flat onto her back! The champ gets DROPPED on the spot, staring up blankly at the stadium lights with her chest beating rapidly!! COULD THIS BE IT?!!

The Canadian singer’s fans are going absolutely WILD here but Lavigne herself is looking just about ready to collapse, stumbling onto the ropes and holding onto the top rope for a few seconds, just breathing in and out and over her fallen adversary! Referee has to herd the Doll along the ropes towards the neutral corner before starting the official count, but Avril is simply too exhausted, needing 15 long seconds to make it to the far corner of the ring, giving the champion some precious extra recovery time as her fans watch her with bated breath, praying to the punk-rock gods for their idol not to flat out collapse to the mat herself. By the time Lavigne manages to reach a neutral corner, Millie has regained some of her senses, her eyes blinking rapidly as she attempts to get back up! 1….2….3….The Lookout! girl is clearly STRUGGLING, trying to grasp at the ropes with her gloves but her grip’s constantly slipping, making her fall back down to all fours, with a growing look of desperation in her eyes. 4….5…6…Bobby Brown looking completely disoriented and woozy as she attempts to make it to her knees, her many fans in the arena seen anxiously covering their mouths, hoping for one more amazing feat from the undefeated young boxing prodigy who’s been doing the impossible over and over again for a full year now. Lookout corner besides themselves, SCREAMING at the champ to no avail, 7….8….Millie making one final LURCH upwards just as the referee passes the count of 9… but COLLAPSES back down on her side, rolling to her back and covering her face in shame as the count passes her by!! 10!!!! IT’S OVER! Millie CAN’T MAKE IT and we have a NEW CHAMPION!

Official Decision: Avril Lavigne defeats Millie Bobby Brown via KO10! Avril Lavigne is the NEW Flyweight champion of the FCBA!!

AFTER:
NEW CHAMPION! NEW CHAMPION! Decibel levels in the arena reach new heights as thousands of Avril fans jump out of their seats in unison at the sound of the bell while Avril’s song ‘Bad Girl’ blares throughout the arena!!!

Queen Lavigne who’s still slumped in the far corner of the ring can be seen smiling and sighing in relief for a brief moment before allowing herself to crumple to the mat on her hands and knees in complete exhaustion, resting her forehead on the mat for a few seconds before finally toppling to her side and rolling to her back, ending up flat on her back, limp arms spread sideways, her sweat drenched chest heaving rapidly as she lies motionless on the canvas, allowing her aching, drained body to finally get some much needed rest after 10 grueling rounds of getting battered relentlessly by the now former champion and still somehow managing to pull out the victory and become the new flyweight champion, winning the first title of her impressive career at the age of 38!

The entire Dollhouse team including CEO Carmen Electra and fellow stablemates Katheryn Winnick, Ginny Gardner and former 2 time Bantamweight champion herself Bella Thorne all jump out of their seats in the front row before running towards the ring in euphoric shrieks, rushing in to congratulate and hug their stablemate and new champion who’s still lying on the mat in recovery mode but soon gets piled on by her entire stable.

Bobby Brown meanwhile has been helped back to her corner by her own team, the former champ looking sullen and fighting back tears, slumped on her stool and being worked on by the Lookout! doctor as she stares down blankly, surely contemplating how on earth she managed to lose her belts tonight despite coming in as the clear favorite tonight in her and many others’ minds. After 16 consecutive wins, Millie suffers the FIRST loss of her boxing career - believe it or not – and loses her title in the process – certainly not an easy thing to deal with for a 19 yeard old, celebrity or not. But Bobby Brown is as tough as she is talented, the Lookout! superstar will surely come back stronger from this setback, and the thought of her continuing to improve should be a terrifying one indeed for the rest of the flyweight division, with pundits predicting several more title reigns in her future.

But this night belongs to the new champion, Avril Lavigne finally being helped to her feet by her stablemates after spending a few longs minutes recovering on the mat, receiving a standing ovation from her many fans (and plenty of Millie fans!) who are lucky enough to witness this momentous occasion as she makes it back to her feet.

Despite looking like she’s been through hell and back and in dire need of medical attention, Lavigne grins as she gets her arm raised by the referee and handed the Flyweight belts. The Canadian singer kisses the belts and lifts them up in the air, garnering another standing ovation and what seems like an infinite amount of phone-camera flashes as she screams “HELL YEAH BITCHEEEEEEES!!!! THE MOTHERf*cking CHAMPION!!!”

Avril’s rolling laughter can be heard throughout the arena as she and the Dollhouse team continue their celebration in the ring for a long while after Millie and her team have quietly left, Avril paying zero attention or respect to the defeated former champion - instead busying herself with gulping down champagne and beer bottles galore together with her stablemates and shouting random self declarations of greatness mixed with a hefty amount of profanities at anyone and everyone in the crowd, with pearls of wisdom such as “You SUCK Millie!”, “Best damn champion EVERRRRRR!!!”, “Who else wants a piece of this bad b*tch?!” and “Eat sh*t Emma Roberts!!!” among others. At one point, Queen Lavigne gets interviewed by reporters inside the ring when a few of them finally manage to get the new champion’s attention for a (very) short moment.

“WOOOO!!! I’m the motherf*cking champion!!!! Millie Baby Brown got FUUUUCKED! Suck it, kiddo! Who else wants some?!” is all they can get out of the now intoxicated Canadian, who immediately proceeds to burst out laughing at her own jokes and high fiving her stablemates.

It remains to be seen how long these championship celebrations will continue, but we suspect it might take a while - Avril seems to be in no hurry to clear the ring anytime soon, basking in the adoration of her fans and team mates, dedicating long minutes to playfully posing for pictures with her new belts. Avril's getting plenty of love from proud coach and Dollhouse CEO Carmen Electra, who’s busy lavishing endless praise on the Canadian singer when approached by reporters, and for good reason - she finally gets to see her protégé win it all, sticking it to the many naysayers throughout the years who argued Lavigne would never be good enough to be the champion. After 5 years of hard work as a member of the Dollhouse, Lavigne’s career has reached a new peak. Hopefully she can keep this momentum going for some time and prove to be a worthy champion, with enough title defenses to silence any remaining doubters.

Word of a brewing stable war between the Dollhouse and the VIXENs rumored to take place in April have already begun to spread, with talks about Avril possibly making her first title defense against one of the aforementioned vixens. It's still up in the air if there’s any truth to these rumors, but whatever happens - Lavigne will have no shortage of contenders to choose from, with the flyweight division being packed full of hungry, young talented girls who’d want nothing more than to put their hands on the 38 year old songstress and snatch the belts for themselves.

Fans have certainely gotten their money’s worth tonight and then some, with another epic title fight in the history books and a new FCBA Flyweight champion crowned.

Congratulations Queen Lavigne - The NEW FCBA flyweight champion! May your reign be long and prosperous!
