FCBA Bantamweight Title Fight
KIRA KOSARIN (25 y/o, 5 ft 6, W: 48, L: 17) (Bantamweight Champion) vs BELLA THORNE (25 y/o, 5 ft 6, W: 56, L: 19)
Results: Lookout!, Writing: Bonzo
Before: The bantam title she took off Minka Kelly in March was just Kira Kosarin‘s second championship during her eight years in the FCBA. In fact, although Kira‘s a long-time crowd pleaser and one of the division‘s most popular young stars, pundits were startin‘ to talk about a title curse for the confident starlet.
Let‘s look at the facts: Kira lost her first three title shots (Van Camp, Dobrev, Thorne) … after she finally won her first title in 2020 off veteran legend Evangeline Lilly – in a bit of juicy gossip, also the woman who she replaced at Bonzo‘s Gym – she managed only a single (close) defense against perennial trouble maker Jenny McCarthy … before falling to Thorne, again. That was followed by a further three lost title shots (Scott, Rose, Olsen) … and two failed attempts to win a tourney (Chopra, Rose). Put it all together, and Kira‘s 3-7 in title shots … not the most stellar of records. After a humiliating beachside pound-out at the hands of Demi Rose last summer, Kira‘s gone into a bit of soul-searchin‘ as a fighter – and it seems to have worked! She hasn‘t lost a match in nine fights – her best ever streak – and suddenly, she‘s got that elusive title! Just please don‘t think Kira‘s turned a humble girl, let alone deferential to her peers … her plans for this title campaign can be summed up in one ugly word … dictatorship!
“Girls can expect a reign of terror,“ Kira nods in earnest.
“I‘m serious! I‘ve always been bantam‘s most physically gifted young fighter … I don‘t have a confidence problem, either, duh! … I can kick any bantam‘s little butt, and there‘s not a lot of lightweights I‘d not take out if I wanted to get my hands dirty up there … all I need is a proper title run where I just pick off one girl after the other, and beat ‘em! I mean, I won‘t throw Righetti‘s name in the mix here in terms of defense records … I don‘t want to sound frisky, you know … but, let‘s just say I won‘t be plannin‘ for a summer vacation! I want to get to that point where girls moan n‘ bytch … can‘t anyone beat her cocky ass?! … and the answer‘s still, always, no!“
Mighty plans, no doubt … now meet the girl who wants to turn all those plans into RUBBLE before Kira‘s even laid a single brick … meet Bella Thorne! Kira and Bella are young peers with similar records, physiques and mindsets but Bella‘s got those titles, baby, those titles … she‘s already went through two three-defense reigns at bantam, plus three JMD reigns, one with five defenses, all at Kira‘s age. So that‘s a most stellar of records for you … she‘s also 2 to 1 against Kira head to head, her last loss coming in their match-up debut in 2018. Thorne‘s lost her JMD title, but she‘s 14- 2 since 2022 … impressive stuff! You surely wonder what Bella will make of Kira‘s title dreams … let‘s her it from the girl herself:
“I used to say, hey, maybe Kira just can‘t do title fights … you know, some girls have it, and some girls don‘t,“ Bella elaborates with a smile.
“But she did beat Minka, and Minka‘s still tough … so there‘s gotta be something! But we‘ve been here before … Kira put her bantam title on the line, last time out, and came for my JMD one … we all know how that ended! All those titles … in my hands! We‘ve heard the same talk of a spell breakin‘, a reign of terror … and then she folds like a lawn chair once the first girl‘s got her backed up with a jug shot? Well … that‘s Kira for ya! Kira‘s what you call a size bully … but I‘m almost as big as her now, so that won‘t work … so it‘ll come down to who has a true fighter‘s heart, not just a loud mouth … and that‘s when Kiki always ends up on her back!“
Fight:
R1: Kira sportin‘ a candid, cocky look early – she‘s leanin‘ forward, her mitts all loose n‘ low, bumpin‘ a shoulder left, right against Bella, just rappin‘ hard punches off her girl‘s frame on the close … with plenty of hip n‘ shoulder oomph behind it! Thorne‘s quickly under pressure, but she‘s a determined, hard-nosed girl, stands her ground … her stance‘s more tight, controlled than Kira‘s open form … there‘s the cute shoulder roll, the hip dip … she‘s lookin‘ to answer Kira‘s smug, bully‘s shot-making via slick, compact counter in the scrub of things! Girls up close, rubbin‘ shoulders in style … there‘s the predictable number of tight, BITIN‘ hooks to the jugs, rollin‘ stomach shots in return … punchin‘ sounds out with hard noise of pik-pak pik-pak as shots glance off tough, toned tummy flesh!
A minute in, Kira‘s making progress – slings a hard, expanded right, catches Bella a thump behind the left ear! Thorne‘s legs go into a bit of a sputter – she‘s a lil‘ unhinged! A snarl, Kira … she‘s on the rummage! Kira steps to, STIFFENS Bella a sturdy duo of left-side thump hooks to the jugline … sweet stuff! … it‘s instantly followed by the short right cross up top, as Bella‘s chin‘s a little overhanging … Bella swoons against the ropes, as strong legs feel the shock! Kira so sloppy on the siege … she‘s pinning Bella against the cables, tuckin‘ right hands into her gut, slingin‘ slothful shots at Bella‘s ear/head, just lookin‘ to punch the girl out of there … Bella‘s legs sturdy up, stiffen, as she finally edges against Kira for a ropeside standstill … arms, hips, shoulders wedge up n‘ down, as girls struggle for control!
Final minute … Kira‘s on the strong-legged, flat-footed stalk-out, as Bella‘s pedallin‘, negotiatin‘, shyin‘ away from the earlier contact … the champ‘s jab‘s doubled, sets up sturdy, withering hooks to Bella‘s tummy, jugs … Kira‘s bodying up with her left shoulder, torques her hips into wide, extendéd body shots, clips short, STUBBY right hands up Bella‘s jaw once she‘s up tight n‘ close! Bella‘s eyes wide, betraying her alarm: she‘s a lil‘ ramshackle on the legs… she‘s thrown off her stance by Kira‘s furious midriff attacks … she‘s still taking Kira‘s chin checks well, but she‘s plenty tackled n‘ ruffled by Kira‘s physicality in the first!
Kira upbeat, pleased with her opening salvo – “Bella‘s not what she used to be … she feels weak on the ropes, coach!“
R2: Bella‘s eyes hard, steely – she won‘t be pushed around by Kira!
Bringing her jab stiff n‘ hard‘s the key … she‘s suddenly able to get the first touch on Kira in the exchanges! Thorne‘s being leggy, taking hops n‘ steps to the right, baiting the champ forward, walking her into a prim lil‘ pokeshot – behind her jab, Bella‘s setting up the waistline hooks, short, feisty digs up Kira‘s jugs, flanks. Kira still strong n‘ aggressive – she‘s lookin‘ to take a wide step in, close range, belt ‘em shots off Bella‘s tight lil‘ frame! Kira often pre-empted, as her attack lefts, rights pass Bella‘s head, shoulders … her challenger‘s first with the jab! Bella‘s stance tight, low, hunched … she‘s fast, leggy, mobile. Kira‘s eyes a fierce grimace – it‘s that steady-fed diet of bitin‘ lil‘ shots to her midriff, lower back, jugs that‘s gettin‘ her mood turned sour, pouty!
Half a round‘s passed … Bella‘s face a sly, pleased grin … she‘s got the champ a lil‘ forlorn, ass-kicked!
Kira‘s stance hunched all the way forward in unsure lil‘ steps, trudges… the big girl‘s in earmuff, as Bella‘s spurtin‘ to n‘ fro, choppin‘ away at her midst, sides! Once Kira‘s slumped forward a little too much, Bella will take a cute step right, pump a sturdy left up Kira‘s bra to set her back upright … she‘s got some tasty receipts for the champ!
Down the stretch – Kira‘s face a lovely pout … she‘s losing her aggressive edge, taking wider, longer pivots around the ring, keeping those hands low, dangled, no longer taking rushes into Bella‘s range! Bella an upbeat, content challenger … she‘ll accept the new terms of range, still bring a stiff, busy jab up Kira‘s guard … she‘s in control of the ring!
Kira tight-lipped, bemused during the break: “You gotta accept Bella‘s a tough chick … she‘ll win a round or two!“ – “No, coach … I want to destroy her!“
R3: Bella fast, intense early … she‘s doing wonders with that jab against Kira‘s go-get-‘em belligerence! Tempo‘s high, rhythmic … the left hand‘s always up Kira‘s tits, face for a lil‘ scrub, but it‘s the follow-up that takes Kira for the ride … Bella‘s turning torso, hips to CUDGEL the left, right body hook behind Kira‘s elbows, slowly conquering the champ‘s mid-riff with ferocity, precision! Kira gruntin‘ on impact … grimacin‘ … she‘s givin‘ ground! Kira‘s sturdy legs still shapely, strong, but she‘s shut out nicely at the end of Bella‘s stiff poke – the big girl‘s gettin‘ a lil‘ steered to target, walked around the ring! A minute in, Bella‘s going rack … left shoulder dips, left uppercut jams home like a sledge … tasty jug shot! Kira in earmuff, her pretty eyes peeking out steely, angry behind her mitts – Bella slides in, out, IN … clubs ‘em back to the rack, right hand! Kira blinkin‘, wanderin‘ out wide … she‘s disheveled, open-mouthed, as Bella‘s lettin‘ her taste scrumptious shots to the body!
Final minute – Bella takin‘ charge at mid-ring, pinnin‘ Kira to the perimeters, as challenger‘s jabs reign supreme! Kira showing a back-pedal look … she‘s mostly on her heels, struggling to win back canvas against Bella‘s sticky poke. Bella so dialed in – cruel jabs up Kira‘s midriff bunch the young champ up into lil‘ cramps, as heavy whiplash right hands upside Kira‘s ear cause major head tosses!
Down the stretch … Kira‘s butt hits the ropes at last … she‘s in earmuff, her mitts raised up the eyes … Bella‘s FEELIN‘ IT, lashin‘ a left cross to Kira‘s sternum, clippin‘ a short stub to Kira‘s jaw … the champ‘s showin‘ some tasty totters at the bell! Bella‘s grin wide, obviously pleased with herself – she‘s demanding eye contact from the rugged champ once girls chest up for break! Kira blinking in wonder, her eyes definitely a little hazy, moist … meanwhile Bella‘s already turned around for a cornerbound STRUT ...
Inside Kira‘s corner – “Let‘s face it, Kira … Bella‘s being your bully tonight … show some heart, girl!“
R4, 5: Girls tall, upright – it‘s a solid two-way trade early in the fourth, as girls step close via the jab, then pound away lefts n‘ rights … girls take turns, firing shots off each other‘s head and shoulders. Kira adjusting little by little to Bella‘s early fight success across the fourth … she will take creepin‘, foot-draggin‘ steps to the right, lift a jab to paw away, double it in the process … girls duly circle, pivot, stalk back n‘ forth … once Bella‘s walkin‘ into the lil‘ gaps that open along the way, Kira will get her gravity low, shrug the short, flat hook off Bella‘s tight lil‘ tummy like she‘s trimmin‘ shrub … Bella‘s face‘s a grimace! Kira pleased, duly focussing on this tactic from there – she‘s finally getting into Bella‘s legs, slowing her energy, grinding that snappy pace down a notch. Kira‘s now looking to get the hook workin‘ up top off her nasty tummy, rib attack – sturdy shoulder rolls … she‘s quickly risin‘ into short, racy snap hooks up Bella‘s ears/jaw once Thorne‘s legs show a tremble off the body shot … she‘s finally got Bella takin‘ shots, showin‘ earmuff, peek-a-boo, fallin‘ into her gloves! Across the fifth round, Bella‘s gettin‘ her nerves … she‘s shying away from Kira‘s paw jab … there‘s lots of side-steps, back-pedals … Kira‘s sturdy machine‘s finally ready-oiled!
Down the stretch … Kira leans in low n‘ tight, thumps a right hand up Bella‘s paunch, slips Thorne‘s uppercut, rises for the comeback hook – BELLA‘S ROCKED! Bella in a sudden, mighty swivel, as Kira‘s right hand catches her left ear a potent thwack … the challenger‘s stepping into fence-post holes … she‘s all loose n‘ blinkin‘ at the bell!
R6: Kira snarlin‘, pumpin‘ her stick – she‘s shelling Bella‘s fronts HARD from the left shoulder, always steppin‘ back in good order, triggerin‘ the long track jabs/hooks, walkin‘ Bella into further harm! Bella‘s on the pursuit, tryin‘ to stalk the champ, but she‘s clearly a lil‘ outfoxed … she‘s got her mitts at the chest, bends at the waist, as she‘s lopin‘, steppin‘ from Kira‘s poke, neatly tryin‘ to interrupt her strong jab‘s rhythm again … there‘s some short, rigid body counters to the champ‘s flanks, but she‘s mostly where Kira wants her!
A minute in, Kira‘s being so cruel, effective … she‘s leggy, mobile, a-hoppin‘, steppin‘ to … draggin‘ a FAT right hand onto the Thorne breadbasket … there‘s grunts, a slight knee wobble, but Bella holds her canvas! Thorne takes a clever dip beneath Kira‘s tall, sturdy jab – right hand lands back smug to Kira‘s jug, oh! Kira‘s wide-eyed, aggressive, leans her body forward – she starts a-strappin‘ heavy fire off Bella‘s head, shoulders! Kira‘s shot-makin‘ just a lil‘ brisk, wild, sloppy on the spot – she misses a left, misses a right, as Bella‘s bobbin‘ at the waist, movin‘ head!
Bella‘s still in the crouch – taps a tight-knit left to Kira‘s jug/ribs, corks it beneath the champ‘s right hand again!
Bella rises from the crouch – KISSES SHORT RIGHTY HOOK OFF KIRA‘S CHIN!
Kira caught a WILD one … she was all unsuspecting, just about to prep her next haymakin‘ slug … now she‘s roared stiff to her freakin‘ back! Crowd‘s on its feet with a loud roar of shock, as Bella‘s power‘s just swept the confident starlet champ right off her feet … Kira‘s all starin‘ up to the lights in dizzy, puzzled wonder … she‘s on her back, her long legs outstretched, as upper torso‘s all stiff, her shoulders a-twitchin‘! Bella‘s arm raised … she‘s SO excited … she‘s takin‘ giddy jumps, racin‘ the ring, as ref moves in on poor Kira! Kira groans … she rolls over her right side, gets to a knee, fights onto all fours … she‘s trying to shake off those KO cobwebs … and she BEATS the friggin‘ count! Ref‘s mighty concerned, but the champ‘s up on her feet after a long, plucky count of “8“ … her legs are still a lil‘ shaky, but she‘s noddin‘ frantically, boppin‘ her mitts together … she‘s back!
It‘s mop-up time, Bella Thorne … she‘s already edging in, left shoulder first, bumping her girl back like a bully … she‘s hookin‘ the tummy, cloutin‘ rights to the flank … just thick, withering shots to churn away at Kira‘s core strengths! Kira barin‘ her teeth, numbly diggin‘ in against Bella‘s tight frame … she‘s chestin‘ up, cuddlin‘ Bella for standstills! Down the stretch … girls tight, compact, as they scrub n‘ rub shoulders, workin‘ those tight lil‘ angles for leverage, tradin‘ licks … Kira‘s all grimace, but she‘s bangin‘ back, stealin‘ some fire off Bella‘s finishing mood!
Corners are workin‘ it hard during the break: Bella‘s upbeat, her pretty face all tuff, determined … “Body shots, Bella, body shots … you gotta wick away that power, girl!“ – Kira‘s all sweaty, disheveled, confused by Bella‘s momentum … “No two ways about it – you gotta show her who‘s boss here, Kira, or she‘ll get you!“ … “She won‘t get me, never!“
R7: Kira re-organizes behind a tall, solid jab – young starlet‘s finally showing some ring savvy in crisis!
Bella leggy, rangy … she‘s adamant in her quest to punish Kosarin‘s tenderized flanks some more, but she‘s forced to work around Kira‘s fierce stick first! Kira‘s on her toes, steppin‘ to the left, spittin‘ a jab, her braid a-bouncin‘ – the champ‘s still plenty of leggy n‘ strong herself! Thorne testin‘ out Kira‘s reserves a bit, not takin‘ a likin‘ to her finds at all … she‘s got her gloves at the chest while the stance‘s set tight, bendy … she‘s just rollin‘ her shoulders, elbows tight on the inside, shruggin‘, clippin‘ smooth, steady lefts, rights off Kira‘s guard, as girls negotiate for ring control!
A minute in, Kira‘s legs feel sturdy enough to stand n‘ trade with Bella again – girls get fast n‘ furious!
Kira‘s, Bella‘s eyes both ablaze, fiery, resolute – tuff young starlets set up body-on-body, shoulder-on-shoulder, a-clippin‘ uppercuts off each other‘s head, guard, as action‘s gettin‘ into whirlwind flyweight territory! Kira‘s shotmaking a lil‘ more heavy-handed here … she‘s scoring SO well, picking up Bella‘s jaw n‘ jugs one tightly-cropped lil‘ uppercut at a time! A few exchanges in, Bella‘s taking ropeward back pedals … she winces … her mouth‘s pinched, as Kira‘s power‘s got her a lil‘ loose, swayin‘ on the spots … Kira snarls, sets up instant pursuit … the champ‘s all tight n‘ smug … there‘s the lil‘ shoulder rolls … the rhythm‘s fast, heavy, yet still controlled … she‘s driving Bella to the cables, setting up a hard-earned siege against her leggy challenger! Bella‘s covered up, stoops shakily off the ropes in earmuff – Kira sets her upright with the jab, steps back out, punishes Bella‘s flanks via the wide, lefty hook … Bella‘s resolute, clipping Kira‘s jugs back the left cross … girls fall in, struggle for canvas, writhe for inside control ...
Down the stretch … girls tight, compact, as they trade ‘em licks to the body … LIVER HOOK, KIRA!
A short pop of the hips gets Kira‘s snappy hook so tight, rigid up Bella‘s abdomen … sob of hurt, Bella … she‘s suddenly shabby, moist-eyed! Bella steppin‘ back while crouchin‘ forward – she‘s all cringy n‘ curvy! Kira‘s eyes wide, excited, as Thorne‘s butt hits the ropes again … Kira‘s feet set wide apart, as she‘s churning ‘em shots across her foe‘s frame … she‘s clubbin‘ a series of lefts, right across Bella‘s jugs/ribs … Bella‘s elbows positioned at the tummy, her mitts at the temple … she‘s trying to roll the shots, as torso‘s still all soft n‘ skewed, increasingly dazed by Kira‘s power groove …
Kira‘s violence‘s short, sweet, succinct – she pummels Bella‘s right ear/temple a thwack … Bella‘s torso‘s laid against the ropes, gently rockin‘ back n‘ forth, leanin‘ into the punishment with the last ounces of her dazed, numbed resistance … LEFT UPPERCUT TO THE JAW, KIRA!
Bella‘s head flops airward by force … her eyes roll back in shock, as strong legs take a totter … Kira steppin‘ back, as Bella sloshes off the ropes in shaky breakdown … she dimly spills onto her side, rolls further onto her back … she‘s all dizzy n‘ dangly! Kira hard-eyed, raising her arm in triumph … Bella‘s trying to sit up, but her body‘s all twitchy n‘ weak, her eyes merely a confused flicker … that‘s a KO7 – and she‘s STILL queen of the bantams – Kira Kosarin!
After: What a slobber knocker of a bantam title fight – Kira and Bella sure didn‘t disappoint tonight! But at the end, it‘s Kira on top – the starlet survives a proper scare, courtesy of Bella‘s flashy knockdown in the sixth to finish Bella‘s legs with a nasty liver hook, then punch her lights out along the ropes … it‘s redemption for Kira against one of her biggest rivals who seemed to have the upper hand against her so far! Thorne a devastated beauty in defeat – her eyes sullen, her mood crestfallen … she‘s still spending a lot of moments on her haunches after the fight, huggin‘, rubbin‘ her tummy, as Kira‘s all festive, triumphant, throwin‘ tidy, pleased glances down at her victim ...
“Okay, so *maybe* I wasn‘t as dominant out there as I should have been,“ Kira admits. “But in the end, I kicked her butt and that‘s what counts, right?! When I get this kind of violent – I‘m unbeatable! Bella‘s just the first of many victims to come … that‘s a promise!“

Down the stretch … Kira‘s butt hits the ropes at last … she‘s in earmuff, her mitts raised up the eyes … Bella‘s FEELIN‘ IT, lashin‘ a left cross to Kira‘s sternum, clippin‘ a short stub to Kira‘s jaw … the champ‘s showin‘ some tasty totters at the bell! Bella‘s grin wide, obviously pleased with herself – she‘s demanding eye contact from the rugged champ once girls chest up for break! Kira blinking in wonder, her eyes definitely a little hazy, moist … meanwhile Bella‘s already turned around for a cornerbound STRUT ...
Inside Kira‘s corner – “Let‘s face it, Kira … Bella‘s being your bully tonight … show some heart, girl!“
R4, 5: Girls tall, upright – it‘s a solid two-way trade early in the fourth, as girls step close via the jab, then pound away lefts n‘ rights … girls take turns, firing shots off each other‘s head and shoulders. Kira adjusting little by little to Bella‘s early fight success across the fourth … she will take creepin‘, foot-draggin‘ steps to the right, lift a jab to paw away, double it in the process … girls duly circle, pivot, stalk back n‘ forth … once Bella‘s walkin‘ into the lil‘ gaps that open along the way, Kira will get her gravity low, shrug the short, flat hook off Bella‘s tight lil‘ tummy like she‘s trimmin‘ shrub … Bella‘s face‘s a grimace! Kira pleased, duly focussing on this tactic from there – she‘s finally getting into Bella‘s legs, slowing her energy, grinding that snappy pace down a notch. Kira‘s now looking to get the hook workin‘ up top off her nasty tummy, rib attack – sturdy shoulder rolls … she‘s quickly risin‘ into short, racy snap hooks up Bella‘s ears/jaw once Thorne‘s legs show a tremble off the body shot … she‘s finally got Bella takin‘ shots, showin‘ earmuff, peek-a-boo, fallin‘ into her gloves! Across the fifth round, Bella‘s gettin‘ her nerves … she‘s shying away from Kira‘s paw jab … there‘s lots of side-steps, back-pedals … Kira‘s sturdy machine‘s finally ready-oiled!
Down the stretch … Kira leans in low n‘ tight, thumps a right hand up Bella‘s paunch, slips Thorne‘s uppercut, rises for the comeback hook – BELLA‘S ROCKED! Bella in a sudden, mighty swivel, as Kira‘s right hand catches her left ear a potent thwack … the challenger‘s stepping into fence-post holes … she‘s all loose n‘ blinkin‘ at the bell!
R6: Kira snarlin‘, pumpin‘ her stick – she‘s shelling Bella‘s fronts HARD from the left shoulder, always steppin‘ back in good order, triggerin‘ the long track jabs/hooks, walkin‘ Bella into further harm! Bella‘s on the pursuit, tryin‘ to stalk the champ, but she‘s clearly a lil‘ outfoxed … she‘s got her mitts at the chest, bends at the waist, as she‘s lopin‘, steppin‘ from Kira‘s poke, neatly tryin‘ to interrupt her strong jab‘s rhythm again … there‘s some short, rigid body counters to the champ‘s flanks, but she‘s mostly where Kira wants her!
A minute in, Kira‘s being so cruel, effective … she‘s leggy, mobile, a-hoppin‘, steppin‘ to … draggin‘ a FAT right hand onto the Thorne breadbasket … there‘s grunts, a slight knee wobble, but Bella holds her canvas! Thorne takes a clever dip beneath Kira‘s tall, sturdy jab – right hand lands back smug to Kira‘s jug, oh! Kira‘s wide-eyed, aggressive, leans her body forward – she starts a-strappin‘ heavy fire off Bella‘s head, shoulders! Kira‘s shot-makin‘ just a lil‘ brisk, wild, sloppy on the spot – she misses a left, misses a right, as Bella‘s bobbin‘ at the waist, movin‘ head!
Bella‘s still in the crouch – taps a tight-knit left to Kira‘s jug/ribs, corks it beneath the champ‘s right hand again!
Bella rises from the crouch – KISSES SHORT RIGHTY HOOK OFF KIRA‘S CHIN!
Kira caught a WILD one … she was all unsuspecting, just about to prep her next haymakin‘ slug … now she‘s roared stiff to her freakin‘ back! Crowd‘s on its feet with a loud roar of shock, as Bella‘s power‘s just swept the confident starlet champ right off her feet … Kira‘s all starin‘ up to the lights in dizzy, puzzled wonder … she‘s on her back, her long legs outstretched, as upper torso‘s all stiff, her shoulders a-twitchin‘! Bella‘s arm raised … she‘s SO excited … she‘s takin‘ giddy jumps, racin‘ the ring, as ref moves in on poor Kira! Kira groans … she rolls over her right side, gets to a knee, fights onto all fours … she‘s trying to shake off those KO cobwebs … and she BEATS the friggin‘ count! Ref‘s mighty concerned, but the champ‘s up on her feet after a long, plucky count of “8“ … her legs are still a lil‘ shaky, but she‘s noddin‘ frantically, boppin‘ her mitts together … she‘s back!
It‘s mop-up time, Bella Thorne … she‘s already edging in, left shoulder first, bumping her girl back like a bully … she‘s hookin‘ the tummy, cloutin‘ rights to the flank … just thick, withering shots to churn away at Kira‘s core strengths! Kira barin‘ her teeth, numbly diggin‘ in against Bella‘s tight frame … she‘s chestin‘ up, cuddlin‘ Bella for standstills! Down the stretch … girls tight, compact, as they scrub n‘ rub shoulders, workin‘ those tight lil‘ angles for leverage, tradin‘ licks … Kira‘s all grimace, but she‘s bangin‘ back, stealin‘ some fire off Bella‘s finishing mood!
Corners are workin‘ it hard during the break: Bella‘s upbeat, her pretty face all tuff, determined … “Body shots, Bella, body shots … you gotta wick away that power, girl!“ – Kira‘s all sweaty, disheveled, confused by Bella‘s momentum … “No two ways about it – you gotta show her who‘s boss here, Kira, or she‘ll get you!“ … “She won‘t get me, never!“
R7: Kira re-organizes behind a tall, solid jab – young starlet‘s finally showing some ring savvy in crisis!
Bella leggy, rangy … she‘s adamant in her quest to punish Kosarin‘s tenderized flanks some more, but she‘s forced to work around Kira‘s fierce stick first! Kira‘s on her toes, steppin‘ to the left, spittin‘ a jab, her braid a-bouncin‘ – the champ‘s still plenty of leggy n‘ strong herself! Thorne testin‘ out Kira‘s reserves a bit, not takin‘ a likin‘ to her finds at all … she‘s got her gloves at the chest while the stance‘s set tight, bendy … she‘s just rollin‘ her shoulders, elbows tight on the inside, shruggin‘, clippin‘ smooth, steady lefts, rights off Kira‘s guard, as girls negotiate for ring control!
A minute in, Kira‘s legs feel sturdy enough to stand n‘ trade with Bella again – girls get fast n‘ furious!
Kira‘s, Bella‘s eyes both ablaze, fiery, resolute – tuff young starlets set up body-on-body, shoulder-on-shoulder, a-clippin‘ uppercuts off each other‘s head, guard, as action‘s gettin‘ into whirlwind flyweight territory! Kira‘s shotmaking a lil‘ more heavy-handed here … she‘s scoring SO well, picking up Bella‘s jaw n‘ jugs one tightly-cropped lil‘ uppercut at a time! A few exchanges in, Bella‘s taking ropeward back pedals … she winces … her mouth‘s pinched, as Kira‘s power‘s got her a lil‘ loose, swayin‘ on the spots … Kira snarls, sets up instant pursuit … the champ‘s all tight n‘ smug … there‘s the lil‘ shoulder rolls … the rhythm‘s fast, heavy, yet still controlled … she‘s driving Bella to the cables, setting up a hard-earned siege against her leggy challenger! Bella‘s covered up, stoops shakily off the ropes in earmuff – Kira sets her upright with the jab, steps back out, punishes Bella‘s flanks via the wide, lefty hook … Bella‘s resolute, clipping Kira‘s jugs back the left cross … girls fall in, struggle for canvas, writhe for inside control ...
Down the stretch … girls tight, compact, as they trade ‘em licks to the body … LIVER HOOK, KIRA!
A short pop of the hips gets Kira‘s snappy hook so tight, rigid up Bella‘s abdomen … sob of hurt, Bella … she‘s suddenly shabby, moist-eyed! Bella steppin‘ back while crouchin‘ forward – she‘s all cringy n‘ curvy! Kira‘s eyes wide, excited, as Thorne‘s butt hits the ropes again … Kira‘s feet set wide apart, as she‘s churning ‘em shots across her foe‘s frame … she‘s clubbin‘ a series of lefts, right across Bella‘s jugs/ribs … Bella‘s elbows positioned at the tummy, her mitts at the temple … she‘s trying to roll the shots, as torso‘s still all soft n‘ skewed, increasingly dazed by Kira‘s power groove …
Kira‘s violence‘s short, sweet, succinct – she pummels Bella‘s right ear/temple a thwack … Bella‘s torso‘s laid against the ropes, gently rockin‘ back n‘ forth, leanin‘ into the punishment with the last ounces of her dazed, numbed resistance … LEFT UPPERCUT TO THE JAW, KIRA!
Bella‘s head flops airward by force … her eyes roll back in shock, as strong legs take a totter … Kira steppin‘ back, as Bella sloshes off the ropes in shaky breakdown … she dimly spills onto her side, rolls further onto her back … she‘s all dizzy n‘ dangly! Kira hard-eyed, raising her arm in triumph … Bella‘s trying to sit up, but her body‘s all twitchy n‘ weak, her eyes merely a confused flicker … that‘s a KO7 – and she‘s STILL queen of the bantams – Kira Kosarin!
After: What a slobber knocker of a bantam title fight – Kira and Bella sure didn‘t disappoint tonight! But at the end, it‘s Kira on top – the starlet survives a proper scare, courtesy of Bella‘s flashy knockdown in the sixth to finish Bella‘s legs with a nasty liver hook, then punch her lights out along the ropes … it‘s redemption for Kira against one of her biggest rivals who seemed to have the upper hand against her so far! Thorne a devastated beauty in defeat – her eyes sullen, her mood crestfallen … she‘s still spending a lot of moments on her haunches after the fight, huggin‘, rubbin‘ her tummy, as Kira‘s all festive, triumphant, throwin‘ tidy, pleased glances down at her victim ...
“Okay, so *maybe* I wasn‘t as dominant out there as I should have been,“ Kira admits. “But in the end, I kicked her butt and that‘s what counts, right?! When I get this kind of violent – I‘m unbeatable! Bella‘s just the first of many victims to come … that‘s a promise!“
