Results: Lookout!; Story: Caspian & The Dollhouse

BEFORE:
It’s a rare occasion indeed when Elizabeth Olsen is faced with a losing streak, and the Fates fighter isn’t having it. Not one bit! Hearing from her during the pre-fight press conference, she wants Bella Thorne in the ring with her again, for the third time because of their shared histories, and despite only putting the Doll away back in 2021 in a grueling eight round contest.

“Me and Bella got a score to settle,” Elizabeth says with a smile and nod, “and this one’s going to be the final say about who’s really the better woman. I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about Bella being favorite to win tonight so for all you people who think I’m the underdog tonight because Bella’s bigger and younger, let me just remind you – I won our last fight. I KO’ed Bella in eight rounds last time. And you know what? I’ll do it in in less than 8 this time.”

Thorne looks incensed from across the table after hearing those remarks, but is partially amused by her opponent’s bravado. She casts furtive glances towards Olsen every sentence or so, but when it’s her turn to respond, her tone is surprisingly calm and measured:

“I don’t know what Liz is smoking, but I want some of that,” Bella says with a wide grin. “Shes desperate for a win after losing her last two fights, but you should have never accepted my challenge if you wanted to win. Liz is right about one thing, though: No one would be able to say she’s the better fighter after I’m done with her tonight…so…that’s ”

Ladies square off at the podium and once again, and that three-inch height advantage from the Dollhouse corner might prove tricky for Olsen to navigate. In the past, the Fates superstarlet compensated by going all in and surprising Bella with overwhelming force. Now, we’re sure that Miss Thorne has thought of that eventuality through and through, and will come into this fight fully prepared.

Both fighters raise their fists towards each other and Thorne's body language speaks of tension and an innate desire for payback, her limbs and shoulders looking stiff and her body fidgeting for a chance to prove her worth. Meanwhile, Olsen is the picture-perfect definition of calm, rocking a smile on her face as she narrows her eyebrows and wishes her counterpart the best of luck at not getting KO’ed too early.

Hours later, we’re back in the arena and ready to kick things off with ten rounds of Bantamweight action! In the Dollhouse corner, Bella is jumping up and down on her feet, decked in a red bikini top and black trunks, red gloves, her fiery red hair in a messy ponytail. She raises a glove high to the crowds, the former Bantamweight and JMD champ ready to add beating another ex-champion to her growing resume. In the other corner, Miss Olsen has on a modest white singlet and long orange tights, showing off portions of her midriff when she raises her own fist to acknowledge the cheers of the crowd.

And without further ado, HERE WE GO!

ROUND 1:
Olsen is the one with aggression to start, knows she’s gonna meet fierce resistance sooner rather than later and thinks she might as well be the first to PLOW a right hand straight into Bella’s arms. First, she tosses her head left and right, her body moving in a blur, confusing the Doll to no end, before letting that right cross rippp straight into the time-space continuum! And from then on, Bella is put on the defensive, grunting at first as the punches sail in high and low, and it looks like she still can’t quite deal with that perfect balance of speed and power that Olsen seems to have perfected. Olsen bullies her way across the ring and back, first hounding Bella to the sides of her head with long-ranged lunges, before taking her shots at scoring off the Doll’s body with those dings of leather to the ribs of side profile. They’re not gonna hurt Thorne - at least not yet - but Olsen succeeds in establishing her intent for the rest of this fight. And when the bell rings, Bella is shaking her head, cursing under her breath, leaving Olsen smirking on her way back to her corner, knowing she’s in the driver’s seat.

ROUND 2:
But Bella ain’t letting the blonde take the lead right before her eyes, of course. The Doll is more than ready when the bell rings, for HERE OLSEN COMES, looking for an early, over-confident mop-up win when she lights the Doll’s guard up on flames and just keeps on coming. Thorne has to weather the storm at first, defending and keeping herself moving, her body absorbing the worst of those thundering shots sailing in and under the Doll’s guard to snag the tummy flesh. Yet, Olsen is all too eager to push her foe into the ropes that she doesn’t see the return jabs coming till they’re too late. No memo needed for this counterattack as Bella Thorne simply slips and dodges a whole lot more, before shooting her own fists into Olsen’s body and face meaning there are several times when her head is pushed to one side or back, and the Fates girl has to bite her own tongue to give Bella the satisfaction of a groan. Close round to the Doll at the bell, and we can tell that Olsen ain’t too happy about losing her lead!

ROUND 3:
And Olsen stakes her claim in the sand! Bella tries to rush her down and overwhelm her with a barrage of punches right at the bell, but Olsen simply keeps calm and blocks and weaves, before blasting her back across the face with a beautiful right hook. The punch is not enough to send the Doll down, but Bella is sent reeling to the side for several paces all the same nonetheless, looking shell shocked for a sec, but then quickly covering up and scrambling. Olsen continues to rip into her with swings of her own, another powerful thrust of an uppercut sent right down the middle, which Thorne barely manages to absorb the shock in advance. Both girls continue to exchange fire for the rest of the round, but these are more tentative jabs than anything significant landed, as they circle and reset. Olsen’s technical ability and patience means she edges Thorne out this time, by a narrow margin.

ROUND 4:
And Olsen ain’t letting up, especially now that she thinks she’s got Bella Thorne on the back-foot! Bella opted to play it safe at the start of the fourth, you know, hang back a bit and let your enemy come to you. This would give her more leverage and time to react and defend. What she didn’t count on is Olsen pouncing on her ass, literally leaping in unexpectedly, like she was some superheroine from a Marvel’s action movie to SLAM a right overhand to the middle of her guard! The impact sends the Doll reeling and wincing, again forced to play catch-up as Olsen keeps getting in her face and chugging away at her body and arms and stomach for the next minute, leaving the Doll not able to keep up with the sheer number of attacks coming from so many directions. In the last minute, Olsen traps Thorne against the ropes and works her tummy like a bass drum, left and right hands sunk into the quivering tummy flesh and forcing her body to slowly wither and crumple against the onslaught. And those one or two defending dings back to Olsen’s face ain’t gonna cut it, folks! Bell rings and it’s one hell of a shutout performance for the powerhouse fighter, who looks set on course to score her second win of this rubber match!

ROUND 5:
And FINALLY Olsen decides to slow down and catch her breath, but that’s not saying much either… For one, Bella can be seen breathing hard and keeping her legs criss-crossing near the perimeter of the rings, trying to maintain her distance. She ain’t gonna get caught again by Olsen’s surprise attacks. But Olsen herself is running out of steam, giving chase and pressuring, but the way her arms are hovering unsteadily in front of her body, her lips parted in deep gulps of air, her mouth scoring as many breaths as she can possible take, the Fates superstarlet could also use the respite. Instead, tired girls take turns rocking each other to the arms and body, Bella establishing her jab hand effectively this time and successfully tagging her opponent on her face to stop a growing advance. The Doll’s longer reach advantage saved the day, denying Olsen a chance to march right in and steal the silverware. Overall, not much of a round, and the officials are forced to give both girls a draw. Olsen tried to shine, at least, but her constant pressure eventually gave Miss Thorne her own ammunition to work with.

ROUND 6:
And Bella is the one with the second wind! She rushes in and tries to capitalize on a tiring Olsen, scoring off the very many holes in the Fates girl’s defenses! Leather gloves are snaking through at first, with Bella huffing and puffing and blasting a big right punch off the forehead, drawing a sharp groan and an unblinking response of “Holy f*ck, that actually hurt!” from that look on Liz’s face. But before Olsen has a chance to retaliate, Bella is already sending the next wave of attacks forth: a steady left-left-right combo pounding of the blonde’s guard, before snapping another series down to the victim’s midsection, before yet another sharp lunge upwards snags the chin and forces Olsen’s head to spin. Last minute and Olsen doesn’t look too happy any longer, her brows narrowed in disgust and perplexity, as she wonders how she might put Bella away in the very next round. But at least she defended herself well into the final minute. That look of frustration on her face might just be a show of how quickly things are slipping from her grasp!

ROUND 7:
Double or nothing, at least in Elizabeth Olsen’s mind - she put Bella away in the eight round two years ago, and nothing short of knocking her out at the end of the seventh would be worthwhile in terms of a message to the rest of the FCBA. The Fates girl rushes in with her head down and eyes glinting, trying to protect her chin with a close-knit guard and locked arms overhead, before lunging and swinging at Bella’s hide immediately once she gets in range. Trouble is, Miss Thorne was already expecting this strategy, and at this exact time. The Dollhouse girl keeps herself moving at the opening bell, running backwards and letting Olsen rush her down like a bull seeing a red flag. But slowly, Thorne is the one scoring and hitting back: a left-right combo to the face here, a side-swerve and a rocking punch to the Scarlet Witch’s hide there, that add up and whittle away at Olsen’s luster. By the end of the second minute, after another series of stiff punches sunk into her face to make her reel with shock, Bella follows up with a swoop-in haymaker that lands right to the forehead, between the eyes! KAPOW! The punch THROWS Olsen’s head back in a dull CRACK, and THERE SHE GOES! Olsen is seeing stars, her eyes wide for a moment before the stadium lights spin, and she’s thrown off her feet! The Fates blonde HITS the canvas with a loud THUD, and if everyone in the audience was expecting this fight to go the full ten rounds, they’re sorely mistaken! The referee’s count hits 8 and Miss Olsen is still barely off all fours and the ground, panting and pawing at the nearby ropes, her pride willing her upwards, but the rest of her body wanting to call it quits! The ring official has no choice but to WAVE it off at the count of 10! It’s a strange and ironic reversal of fortunes for the Fates superstarlet, who promised a KO7 win over her rival this time, and ultimately got a taste of her own reality-bending medicine! It’s OVER!

Official Result: Bella Thorne defeats Elizabeth Olsen via KO7!

AFTER:
Bella with a smirk as she raises both arms to the cheering fans, the Dollhouse superstar looking spent but jubilant, paying no attention to the ruined opponent she left behind as she quickly exits the ring following a modest high-five celebration with her team.

On her way out, Bella has a few choice words for the current Bantamweight champion as she speaks to the cameras. “Hey Priyanka, how about giving the best Dollhouse girl a title shot? I DID beat you 3 years ago…so to me it feels like you don’t REALLY deserve that title if you can’t prove you can beat the best. Don’t be a pussy.”

And with that, Bella turns back towards the exit, blowing kisses to the fans as she makes her way towards the backstage with a challenge made and another great win over a top opponent to add to her impressive FCBA record.
