BEFORE:
HUGE title implications as this next pair of blondes prepare to do battle, with Maddie Ziegler and Chloe Grace Moretz cementing themselves among the top young talent in the Flyweight division and are set to face off in a few hours within the confines of the squared circle!

At the pre-fight press conference, Maddie is the first to stride into the room looking confident as ever, smiling wide and waving to the press and fans, her blonde locks cascading over her shoulders. She’s dressed in a sleek black pantsuit that accentuates her athletic physique. The room buzzes with anticipation as her fans cheer loudly, energized by her return to the ring after having bested Nell Tiger Free in last month’s stable war.

Chloe, looking equally commanding, walks in with a focused gaze, her blonde hair pulled back into a tight ponytail. She’s clad in a simple white blouse and long black pants, and the crowd shows appreciation for the talented actress-turned-Lioness with enthusiastic applause. The American blonde scored her own impressive win last month by knocking out Becky G in six rounds, and is looking ready to repeat the feat tonight against the up-and-coming Dollhouse star Maddie Ziegler.

As both women take their places on the stage, the reporters are already throwing rapid-fire questions in their direction, one of the first directed at Maddie at her choice of opponent tonight:

"Actually...Chloe was one of the first opponents I'd been offered to fight back when I joined the Dollhouse. I’ve heard she was good and…she even beat Emma (Roberts) that month!...So I told Carmen I'd rather start slow and gain some actual ring experience before taking on Chloe. So yeah...I definitely respect her game. Hopefully she respects mine too or she's gonna find herself in a lot of trouble tonight,” Maddie giggles, before continuing. “I'm VERY ready for her now."

That smirk on her face is to die for, and sure enough, that’s what Ziegler intends for her opponent to do tonight, having secured a series of important wins on her resume and not intending to stop anytime soon. Chloe responds with a smirk of her own from across the table, the Lioness shoring up her own luck in the victory-department, and sure as hell believes she can dispatch the young dancer easily enough.

Chloe leans forward, meeting Maddie's gaze. "Listen, Maddie.." Chloe begins, her voice laced with defiance. "I don’t have too much respect for you yet and it’s not going to matter either way, but you can definitely TRY to impress me tonight.” She pauses for a moment, allowing the weight of her words to sink in. "If you’re going to succeed or not…that will be up to you. But at least you’re no longer too scared to fight me…That’s pretty good progress!.” Moretz chuckles at Ziegler from across the table. “I’m looking forward to seeing how good you really are. At picking yourself off the mat…that is.”

With her powerful statement hanging in the air, Chloe leans back in her chair, her face full of confidence in being the big favorite to defeat her younger opponent tonight. Across the room, Maddie can’t decide if she wants to laugh at her blatant confidence or spit back an insult, and for now, the Doll holds her tongue.

Moments later, they’re locking eyes on stage, standing inches apart during the official stare down. With their blonde hair both framing their equally determined expressions, they position themselves face to face, their fists raised towards each other in defiance.

As the referee steps forward, extending his hand as a gesture of sportsmanship, he asks them to shake hands, seeking a brief moment of unity amidst the growing rivalry. However, both Maddie and Chloe completely ignore the gesture, their eyes remaining locked on each other.

"I’ll shake her hand after I beat her." Chloe’s voice drips with self confidence.

Maddie’s gaze narrows, a wicked smile playing on her lips, with the feeling being entirely mutual. With a shrug, the fight official gestures for them to back away, and they return to their respective places before heading backstage for the final prep shortly after.

Hours later, the atmosphere inside the arena is electric as the fighters get themselves ready in opposite corners of the ring. Maddie ‘Mad Dog’ Ziegler jumping up and down in her corner, her blonde hair which is pulled back into a sleek ponytail bobbing up and down. Ziegler is clad in a blue sports bra and ankle-length white tights that accentuates her toned but slim physique. She’s wearing white boxing gloves, raising her left glove to the fans with a smile.

On the other side of the ring, Chloe Moretz stands an inch shorter, her blonde locks braided.. She wears a form-fitting black sports bra that highlights her toned abs and frame, paired with sleek purple boxing trunk and black boxing gloves. Moretz is looking quite a bit bulkier than her opponent, which should in theory give her the power advantage in tonight’s contest. She leans casually against the corner post, nodding her head to some final instructions from her corner and looking fully ready to go.
It’s time! The fighters go through their final rituals, adjusting their gloves, bouncing on their toes, and mentally preparing for the imminent battle.

And there you have it! The referee signals for the opening bell, and HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Flyweight action!

ROUND 1:
Maddie showcases her incredible agility and reach advantage to start, using quick footwork to create some distance between her and Moretz. It’s clear that the Doll's strategy is to outmaneuver her opponent and capitalize on her own speed advantage, slipping left and right and then backwards to avoid some of Chloe’s sudden swings towards her head. On the other hand, Moretz is taking a far more aggressive approach, advancing towards Maddie with stern determination, looking equally determined to make her power advantage count as she takes big swings towards Maddie’s head. As the round unfolds, however, it’s Maddie's precise counterpunches that find their mark, landing punches clean on Chloe's nose and lips, each time pushing her back several steps and stopping her advance in its tracks… However, Chloe does manage to squeeze into the pocket at the last minute to pound away at the Doll’s flanks, hurting Maddie somewhat with each of those nasty hooks catching her on both sides of her tummy. The round ends with Maddie edging ahead, using her superior movement and accuracy to control the pace of the rest of the round.

ROUND 2:
Moretz not taking no for an answer, however, maintaining her aggressive approach and relentlessly pursuing Maddie to apply even more pressure on her foe. Chloe's strategy revolves around walking Maddie down with punches in bunches, suddenly rushing towards the Doll to close rapid distance and unleashing a thick barrage of shots to her arms and under, firing away at a concentrated section of her tummy. Maddie, somewhat aware of Chloe's relentless attack, focuses on blocking and evading, using her movement to create angles and counter opportunities, just like she did in the first round, sticking her gloves into Chloe’s face whenever possible, as the Lioness advances. Amidst Chloe's aggressive onslaught, Maddie slams a well-timed hook into Chloe's cheek, snapping her head to the side and earning herself some temporary reprieve from the pressure. However, it’s Chloe who continues to dictate the pace of the rest of the round, continuing to corner Maddie and leave her bowled over after another effective lunge to her belly before the bell rings, to shake things up. The judges' scorecards reflect a closely contested round, with Chloe's aggressive approach and effective body work giving her the edge by a narrow margin!

ROUND 3:
Moretz continues to assert her dominance, catching Maddie off guard in the opening seconds with a deceptive feint to the Doll’s body that momentarily distracts her. All those body attacks have added up to this exact moment, with Maddie instinctively dipping her arms to protect her hide, thus leaving her chin wide open! Seizing the chance, Chloe unleashes a powerful overhand strike that disappears straight into Maddie's face, sending shockwaves through the arena! OUCH indeed!! From that moment onwards, Maddie’s forced to shift her focus to defending her faculties, a part of her rattled brain still comprehending the urgency of not getting pushed into the ropes and potentially getting knocked down! Of course, Chloe rushes in after her, a relentless onslaught of punches that stun the Doll to her head and body. Ziegler takes and takes it, keeping herself moving best she can, and therefore, valiantly withstanding Chloe's assault for now, determined not to succumb this early to her opponent's aggression! Finally, when the bell rings, Maddie's face bears the marks of this fierce battle, with sweat trickling down her forehead and her chest rising and falling rapidly with each breath. Chloe, equally fatigued, stands in her corner with her hands planted on her knees, her ponytail slightly disheveled. The intensity of her attack has left her breathless, but her face still glistens with a satisfied smirk. It’s an early, dominant round for Moretz, but the question is whether she can maintain her momentum!

ROUND 4:
In the fourth, Chloe surges forward, resuming her tenacious assault on Ziegler. The Doll is starting to feel the weight of Chloe's power and relentless pressure, and chooses to adopt a more cautious approach here, moving and fighting sluggishly compared to the earlier rounds. Even by comparison to some of her other fights, Ziegler looks uncertain in the action, and perhaps hasn’t begun to believe in her own abilities in facing off against someone like Chloe. Moretz capitalizes on her inertia, launching a blistering combination towards her face in the second minute, more and more solid punches landing straight to Maddie's nose and chin, which SNAP her head back over and over again. Then, with a thunderous right hook, Chloe steps in and CONNECTS to the side of her jawline, sending shockwaves through Maddie's entire form! OUCH! Time seems to momentarily freeze as Maddie's body shudders and twists, her head rocked to the side, her senses momentarily dazed! The world becomes a blur as Ziegler loses her footing and crumples to the canvas, her body hitting the floor with a reverberating thud! It’s a KNOCKDOWN in the fourth round for Chloe Moretz!

Instantly, the arena erupts in astonishment, as the referee bounds in to begin the count! Maddie’s awake and alive, but stuck on all fours for a few long seconds, before fighting to regain her composure, pushing herself off the canvas, her mind racing and the rest of her body aching bad. The seconds tick away, before the Doll finally pushes herself back up to her feet by the count of 8! It’s a stoic display of resilience, as Maddie nods to the referee that she intends to continue. Her face, however, is starting to show signs of wear and tear, parts of her cheek starting to bruise and the knockdown serving as stark reminder of Chloe’s punching power. Moretz looks ready to take the fight right back to her foe, however, already gearing up in the neutral corner and just waiting for the referee to give the signal to resume…She’s a fighter if we’ve ever seen one!

Bell rings again, and the remainder of the round sees both fighters looking more than weary from their intense battle, instead choosing to circle each other cautiously and exchange the occasional punch combo whilst searching for an opening. The toll of the fight becomes apparent as their movements slow, and their breathing grows labored. And with the bell signaling the end of the round, both Maddie and Chloe retreat to their corners, seeking a momentary respite to gather their strength for the remaining rounds.

ROUND 5:
Everyone’s expecting another mad rout from Chloe in the fifth, but Maddie’s the one who comes out swinging with a sudden torrent of punches once both girls meet in the center, catching the Lioness off guard with a left-right combo sunk into her nose and lips. Ziegler’s stamina is a thing to behold! With lightning-fast precision, Maddie peppers Chloe's face with more rapid-fire strikes, each jab or hook finding its mark and around her guard, before keeping her guessing with more lunges to her sides, which force Moretz to lower her guard. Recognizing Chloe's fatigue, Ziegler shifts her focus downward, targeting Chloe's body with fierce uppercuts that circumvent her arms. The impact of each blow reverberates through Chloe's tired frame, sapping her of her remaining strength and draining her stamina at an alarming rate. Chloe finds herself pushed back against the ropes, desperately attempting to weather this sudden storm unleashed by Maddie. The two fighters engage in messy clinches on the ropes, Chloe unable to power her way out of this one and instead lunging at Maddie’s waistline whenever possible, their bodies locked and chins digging into shoulder flesh. As the bell signals the end of the round, the scene is one of pure domination: Maddie leaves an indelible mark on Chloe’s gasping frame with a final elbow stuck in her chest, an uppercut buried clean into her midsection to fold her over in half, marking the turn of the tide for this bout!

ROUND 6:
Right from the opening bell, Maddie asserts renewed dominance, relentlessly pressuring Chloe back to her corner with a steady stream of punches. The Doll’s finally found her firm footing, now not waiting around for Chloe to punch her down, and instead, sending punches forward to find their mark on the blonde’s face, arms, and body. Maddie delivers a powerful statement of intent as her gloves make their way past her foe’s arms, with Chloe already fatigued from the previous rounds and struggling to keep up with Maddie's relentless assault. As Maddie probes Chloe's defenses, her eyes keenly scan for an opening, sensing a momentary lapse in her guard and then seizing it: a blistering hook catches Chloe on her temple just as the Lioness swerved to cover her side from attack. The blow JOLTS through Chloe's face, disrupting her balance and sending her head and upper torso swiveling clean to the side! Time seems to stand still as Chloe hovers in the air for a brief moment, before DOWN SHE GOES, crashing onto her side by the ropes! Just like that… it’s a return KNOCKDOWN for Maddie Ziegler!

The referee immediately starts the count, and the crowd holds their collective breaths, as the numbers slowly tick upwards. Maddie stumbles to the neutral corner, having been in many fights in the past, but perhaps none so grueling and intense as this one1 Alas, Chloe's body refuses to respond in time, the Lioness blonde barely pushing herself up to all fours before shaking her head in an absolute daze! The referee has no choice but to wave it off at the final count of 10, declaring Maddie Ziegler the winner! this fight is OVER!

Official Result: Maddie Ziegler defeats Chloe Grace Moretz via KO6!

AFTER:
Maddie raises both arms up high, smiling wide as she struts back to her own corner, high fiving her team before turning to acknowledge her cheering fans. It’s another big win for the rising Dollhouse prospect, marking her fourth win for the year, and the ‘Mad Dog’ is steadily making a name for herself as a top fighter in the flyweight division, which has the big boss Carmen Electra looking downright ecstatic as she enters the ring to hug and congratulate her star.

Walking over to the still recovering Chloe, Maddie leans down to rub it in some after being disrespected by the older blonde earlier today. “Impressed yet…?” she chuckles, earning herself a nasty look from the Lioness star who’s slowly making it back up to her feet with the help of her team.

Maddie shrugs it off and walks away, making her way to the center of the ring where she is interviewed briefly about tonight’s fight.

“I know Chloe didn’t think much of me but I hope I changed her mind tonight. Actually I know I did.” The Doll chuckles in confidence as the fans cheer. “Chloe’s tough, and actually really strong - It got kinda scary when she knocked me down in the fourth, but honestly it just made me more determined. I got back up and knocked her the f*ck out. My team made sure I’m 100% prepared for her and I’m happy I got this win. It was an important one and it feels amazing!.”

Ziegler more gracious than expected in her victory speech, complimenting her opponent despite the earlier hostility between the two. It’s probably much easier to forgive when you’re the winner!. And the talented young blonde is certainly getting used to being on the winning side of things with her impressive record growing to 14-4 after tonight’s win.

Smiling wide, Maddie playfully bows to her ecstatic fans before exiting the ring and making her way backstage accompanied by her team and Electra to loud cheers throughout the arena.

Is Maddie Ziegler going to get a shot at the title any time soon? her defeats at the hands of the top two young talents her age (Brown and Ortega) has certainly set her back and placed her behind them in any title conversation. But rumors of a rematch or two have already began to spread and if Maddie manages to best one of these two young supertalents, there will be no denying she is as deserving of her first shot at the flyweight title as they were.

We doubt current champion and fellow Doll Avril Lavigne thinks the same and will give the youngster a shot at her belts, but Ziegler is here to stay and is one of the top young prospects in the division, not to mention - Carmen Electra’s protege and arguably the Dollhouse’s most promising talent since Bella f*cking Thorne. The ‘Mad Dog’ WILL get her opportunities to climb to the very top of the Flyweight division, whether now or in the future.

As for Chloe Moretz, the talented actress will have to lick her wounds and come back stronger to fight another day. The young Lioness Surely already thinking about a rematch between the two in the near future.

One can only wait and hope to see these two young warriors going at it again!.
