BEFORE:
It is the night before Christmas! and the press conference is in full swing tonight in the Galen Center's conference room in LA, an intriguing CBAD match-up scheduled for this card, with the veteran singer and former champion Avril Lavigne set to face up-and-coming FCBA fighter and the smaller half of the Twitch streamer duo the Botez sisters, Miss Andrea Botez.
Of course, fans should be familiar with both girls, Lavigne the renowned punk-pop singer of the 90s who finally blossomed into a mean, lean fighting machine in the Flyweight division. She’s had an amazing 2023, having clinched the title from Bobby Brown back in March and recently KO’ed fellow songstress Miley Cyrus in decisive KO5 action. Now, she gazes expectantly out at the packed crowd of the press hall, leaning back in her chair and waiting for the conference to begin.
Across from her at the long table is Miss Botez, formerly a mere chess Twitch stremer. However, the Canadian youngster has caught the attention of the world most recently by participating in a series of chess-boxing matches, where participants took turns moving pawns across the board for one round, and then turning heads the other, quite literally. Miss Botez might be new to the FCBA world, but in addition to her 1-1 chess-boxing record, she’s also racked up a respectable 2-2 FCBA record, and is looking more and more likely to transition into the ‘turning heads’ section of her craft.
"It's pretty wild I get to fight Avril Lavigne” Andrea giggles at the press conference. “I'm Canadian too and she's a...Canadian icon! So when my agent called with the offer I couldn’t possibly say no to THAT opportunity! But I'm 100% ready for her. I'm bigger, faster, stronger and almost 20 years younger, so even though she's been champion, I feel like I can give her a good fight. I’m ready for her, but honestly I'm not so sure Avril can handle me,” Botez smirks as the packed fans in the room let out a cheer. “She’s 39, she should probably start thinking of transitioning to cougar-only fights next year….” Andrea chuckles, causing the blonde to scoff and shake her head from across the table. “I watched how Cierra wrecked her in October, and I’m pretty confident I can do it too. She doesn't know what's coming to her.” Botez, her confidence oozing, breaks into a final smile as more cheers rise from the back of the room in response to her statement.
But Lavigne is frowning back from across the room. Winning the Flyweight title was a dream come true for her, and yet somehow, the self-proclaimed Queen of the Dollhouse had expected MORE respect from those she considers her lessers. How dare this upstart fighter give her lip?
"I wasn't familiar with Andrea until like, a month ago…but apparently she's a big Youtube star and she's very good at...Chess. Pfft. And she does ‘Chess boxing’?!” Avril starts, letting out another snort. “What the hell is Chess boxing?! We fight for real in the FCBA, no playtime here b*tch.” Lavigne smirks as she sends Botez a cocky glare. “She's a fellow Canadian and a good practice before my fight with Olivia next weekend so I’ll give her SOME credit, but if she thinks she stands a chance tonight she needs to get off the drugs. Maybe you can beat me at your boring-ass chess but at boxing? Please b*tch. Stick to board games Andrea, hon.”
Fighters clearly have disdain for each other’s skills and abilities, and they show that moments later at the traditional staredown, stepping up to the podium and close, their fists raised in mutual confrontation. Avril’s face is still twisted into a scowl at the sight of those two extra inches staring her down from the front, Andrea Botez showing off her own impressive physique as her toned biceps and tummy flex for the cameras, that returned smirk on her face saying it all.
Girls get separated at the last minute, before their fists actually collide with faces. This promises to be an exciting exhibition match in the heart of downtown Los Angeles!
24 hours later, both fighters are geared up and gearing for the opening bell. They’re testing their balance in their respective corners of the ring, Avril Lavigne bouncing left and right on her feet, blonde hair in a ponytail as she raises her black and pink gloves to the adoring crowd, her own sports bra and shorts similarly tinged with pink and black. Across the ring, Andrea Botez packs her white gloves together, that smirk still plastered across her face for someone who’s only had 4 fights under her belt thus far. The social media starlet is wearing a simple but tight-fitting red sports bra and shorts, her dark brown hair braided.
And there’s the wave of the referee’s hand, and HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Flyweight action!
ROUND 1:
Avril kicks things off with aggression, NO respect shown for the relative newcomer as she rushes Botez down and immediately starts pummelling shots into her arms, seeking that early KO win. Lavigne’s back to her old ways, it appears, but the more savvy watchers of her rise will notice her strategy coming into play as well: she wants to end the younger fighter early and not go the distance to contend with her stamina. Botez, on the other hand, has the EXACT SAME IDEA, and though surprised by Lavigne’s initial rush, eagerly gets into the thick of the action, and STARTS SWINGING herself! Botez is simultaneously fighting off the Doll’s attacks whilst moving backwards, trading leather with her fellow Canadian to the bell. Several nice whips to the face here, heavy pounding to the body there, as BOTH women take and dish out some damage, but Lavigne just keeps pushing in and pushing in, her experience on show as she blocks and weaves whatever the youngster can throw at her, ending the round with a mighty snap uppercut to the chin that followed an overhand stunned to Botez’ temple! OUCH and early! Botez looks rocked at the sound of the bell, stumbling awkwardly into the ropes and holding onto the top rope to steady herself, but thankfully gets saved at the last minute. The Dollhouse Queen lets out a shout of dominance on her way back to the corner, though she’s also sporting some reddened skin off that toned torso. Close round to the Doll, whose strategy seems to have paid off…
ROUND 2:
And here they both come once more, back to brawling in the center! No break for the wicked as Botez gets stunned by an early left feint from Lavigne before a powerful right cross screams in and through the middle of the arms, smacking into her nose silly! Botez’ inexperience shows through, as she’s pushed back in the first minute, despite valiantly throwing fists back at Lavigne’s advance, her spirit compelling her to swing first and smile later, and gets in several painful winces from the Doll in turn as left-right-left jabs hammer into Avril’s face amidst her advance. Lavigne can’t afford to take this kind of damage for too long, and knows this, trying to put Botez away with more forceful hooks sent flying at the head, but Botez’ guard seems to be working like a charm, her arm raised just in time to intercept the brunt of each impact, before the Canadian pays her fellow compatriot back when a SWOOSH of her own that cuts through the middle and upwards - WHAMM! An uppercut hits the base of Lavigne’s chin, earning a groan and stumble! The rest of the round belongs to Botez, that fire in her eyes translating to heavy thumps to the Doll’s guard, then heavier pumps to her tummy below, Botez simply marches in and wails on her foe till the bell rings! It’s a WIDE round return for the Chess superstar, who clearly has something to prove as well!
ROUND 3:
More wariness in Avril’s eyes as the bell rings to start the third. Gone is that explosive energy in her eyes, as she switches tactics to try and contain the upstart’s surge. Lavigne’s not a dumb cookie - if she were, she wouldn’t be an ex-champion, having matured in recent years to fight a whole lot smarter. She lets Botez come to her, showing off counter-fighting skills as she parries and blocks those rookie combos with ease, before cracking shots off the sides of Andrea’s head and body, trying to show the rookie who’s boss. Botez with a dangerous glint in her eye, though, frustrated at the change in pace as she KEEPS ON COMING, determined to KO a former champ and make a grand statement to the rest of the league. Her persistence pays off in the final minute, employing efficient blocks of her own before countering Avril’s counters, both ladies trading leather to the lips and forehead before transitioning to stun that tummy and waistline, Botez knowing that each glove snapped into the blonde’s midsection is another breath Avril won’t have in the long-run. Another whuump! to the belly has Avril gasping and bent over, her back quivering too near the ropes, her eyes bulging slightly before she snarls and tries to chase Andrea off with a hook of her own, which misses. Bell rings and Lavigne’s breathing hard, fighting for every inch on the scoreboards.
ROUND 4:
Botez looks on form despite her inexperience, her arms up and caramel skin glistening under the gym hall’s lights. It’s clear she’s trained well for this fight, and studied Avril’s tactics, because here she comes yet again, marching straight in and not giving the Doll any breathing space! Lavigne’s on the defensive but not on the ropes just yet, digging deep and keeping herself moving and shooting. Botez goes for the same tactics as last time: throwing a barrage of punches up high to raise Avril’s guard before sapping away at that toned torso, her fists warping flesh with that steady pounding of leather. But NOT this round, as Lavigne keenly whips the youngster’s face to the side with choice hooks, which sail in just in time to STUN Botez across the chin and cheek, paying her back in spades for every tummy shot landed! It’s Andrea’s turn to not maintain this pace, after her head gets jolted to the side with another groan, the rest of her body stumbling off to the ropes in shock. She’s also clearly realizing the importance of protecting one’s brain functions! Lavigne presses back in, a little more cautious and slow this time, pestering the youngster with jabs and cross combos to end the round firmly back in her corner!
ROUND 5:
Both girls have pressed equal claims to the scoreboards so far, though Lavigne would have definitely liked the result to be more lopsided in her favor. She’s the former Flyweight champ, goddamnit, and Botez does nothing but move pieces across a wooden board in her spare time! With a low growl, she comes in for the kill, pushing herself to stay focused and throw more precise blows to rattle Botez and keep her on the backfoot. Andrea looks slightly surprised by this sudden shift in momentum and the Doll’s technical prowess, her punches now flying at Avril with increasing wildness and desperation, determined to land a shot that will stop the punk-princess’ momentum. But this just gives Avril more ammunition to work with, dodging and weaving to avoid another wild uppercut from the brunette, before LIFTING her head with a perfectly executed snap uppercut down the middle, and all it takes is a couple more lefts and rights based in with vicious intent, Botez grunting as her nose and lips get mashed in, her body and head pushed back, before DOWN SHE GOES, Botez losing her balance and flailing backwards, landing on her side with a satisfying THUD! It’s a KNOCKDOWN for Miss Laviigne, her heat-seeking fists making contact and showing results! Could this be it?!
Botez stirring on the ground, her face twisted in pain as she begins pushing herself up. Meanwhile, Avril’s smirking at her from the neutral corner, casting the occasional insult and taunt from up high, both her arms casually slunk over both sides of the top ropes, her pulsing tummy showing signs of abuse but contrasting with that mean grin on her face. Those lips soon turn upside down, however, when Botez manages to push herself back to her feet by the count of 8, nodding to the referee that she intends to continue!
Barely a minute left on the clock, and as the bell rings to resume, HERE AVRIL COMES, cherry on top of the cake as she aims to end this charade! Botez is a picture of survival as she bends and croons against the ropes, her mouth often hanging open as Avril thumps stiff leather to the midsection, before going back to snarling in her face, rocking those arms left and right with spirited swings. But STILL Botez hangs on, her back fully pressed into the ropes but trying to cross those legs and keep moving sideways and out of harm’s way. At the end of the bell, Lavigne lets out a frustrated shout of her own as she heads back to her corner panting, clearly having expected a different result!
ROUND 6:
Botez has showed off her fighting spirit throughout this entire fight, and we wouldn’t be surprised if the Chess boxer made a full transition to the realm of professional celebrity boxing soon enough. Despite suffering that knockdown attempt in the fifth, she’s marching forward again, as eager to take the fight to the older girl. The sheer insolence inflames Avril’s eyes, as the Dollhouse Queen lets out a war cry of her own and comes in hot, meeting Botez in the center and trading punches in tandem! Both girls get their heads turned to the side by hooks landed to the ear and cheek, more uppercuts pumped into the arms, trying to break the other’s defenses once and for all. Botez is taking some hard knocks but she’s powering her own guns back with equal, if not more, force, drilling a punishing overhead to Avril’s forehead at the end of the first minute which has the Doll seeing stars, only to immediately follow up with a combo to the singer’s soft midsection to FOLD Lavigne over with a twisted look of pain and shock! OUFF! and Botez wasting NO time catching her prey clean on the face with a vicious right and a glint in her eyes! Lavigne’s getting clobbered in there and before the disoriented songstress can even think of running away the 21 year old rookie is all over her! Andrea with a DEADLY 1-2 COMBO TO THE JAW!!! BAM BAM!!! WOW! SHE RAGDOLLS the blonde singer on the spot, switching off the former champ’s brain with ease! Avril’s arms droop limply as the second punch BLASTS her chin and the singer jackknifes to her side, CRUMPLING LIFELESSLY to the mat with a THUD, ending up sprawled on the mat, spread eagled and flat on her back, eyes rolled into the back of her head! WOW! Night- night! Botez has put Lavigne to SLEEP as the arena EXPLODES! IT’S OVER! Coach Loken seen burying her face in her hands as Queen Lavigne lies motionless on the mat, her sweat drenched chest and belly heaving rapidly up and down, completely out cold! Stick a fork in her and call for the bell, the former champ is DONE! Check-mate Andrea Botez! Referee rapidly waving his arms overheard and this one’s OVER folks! Andrea Botez scores the stunning upset via KO6!!
Official Result: Andrea Botez defeats Avril Lavigne via KO6!
AFTER:
WHAT A WIN! “I told you!” Miss Botez screams in triumph as she towers over her unconscious opponent raising both arms up high and smiling wide as the fans go berserk all around her! It’s Andrea’s biggest win to date and what a win it is! The free agent rookie, in only her 5th FCBA fight to date, manages to put recent champion and hall of famer Avril Lavigne out of commission in impressive fashion tonight and this win will surely earn this talented young girl some new fans as well as perhaps catapult her straight to the top 30 in the flyweight division after 5 fights – a FCBA contract may be soon to follow!
Surrounded by her small team and her many fans, Botez takes a few moments to celebrate in her own corner with big sister Alex Botez, the Twitch streaming sistes duo hugging it out and jumping up and down, smiling from ear to ear while on the mat, a much more subdued scene is taking place with Lavigne’s team making efforts to revive the beaten former champ, who’s suffered one of the most humiliating defeats of her career tonight at the hands of a rookie, barely a week away from her looming big fight against former two-time Flyweight and AMD champion Olivia Holt. Will Queen Lavigne be able to recover physically and mentally in time? Or will Holt continue right where Botez left off? Surely this is weighing on coach Loken's mind right now, but we’ll all have to wait and see. Andrea, however, already has other fighters on her mind:
“I knew I could beat her…I’m too fast and explosive for her…” says a now openly cocky Andrea to reporters a few moments later on her way out. “I mean, I’m almost 20 years younger than her, what did you expect? I knew she couldn’t take too much punishment, I punch freaking hard dude. I just had to find my moment and when I did, I finished her before she knew what hit her. This was fun! I can go 6 more rounds honestly….too bad Avril can’t….” Andrea chuckles. “But If her mate Maddie Ziegler is up to fight me anytime soon…" she pauses, getting the crowd all riled up with anticipation! "I’m ready baby. See her?" Botez gestures towards the ring as she makes her challenge, where Lavigne is still flat on her back, the poor blonde still trying to regain her senses after her unfortunate encounter with the new young FCBA Chess Queen. "I’ll put you to sleep too, Mads." She smirks, ending with a "Merry Christmas everyone!”
And the fans? judging by the noise levels in the arena, they couldn't be happier after witnessing tonight's shocking upset and getting a hint of whats to come. Merry Christmas indeed folks!
