Results: Lookout! Story: Caspian & The Dollhouse
Bad blood continues to boil over as new-kid-on-the-block Natasha Calis looks to bring pride and prestige to one of the latest stables to join the FCBA, the Queens of Absolution. Bella, of course, is further embroiled in her own Best-of-Seven war with rival Demi Rose, and has NO time for this newcomer nonsense.
"The Canadian Goddess?” Bella starts off the pre-fight segment with a firm shake of the head and condescending chuckle. “Give me a break. She's pretty good for a newbie with her 8-2 record, and she’s fit as f*ck, but the only goddess in the ring tonight is going to be ME. Calis might end up being a cakewalk, someone I step all over to get back to beating Demi again. When will these bitches learn that the ring belongs to ME?”
Thorne not mincing words as she gives one last smirk for the cameras, sticking out of her tongue to show she means business while she’s at it. Meanwhile, Calis is looking calm for the caliber of opponent she’s up against tonight, smiling confidently back and not giving two-hoots about Thorne's fiery remarks when it’s her turn at the mic:
“Oh yeah, I know I’m seen as the underdog tonight and you know what? I like it that way. Yes Bella, I AM f*cking fit. Need some help with that? You’re looking kinda big and soft these days. Afraid to try your luck at Lightweight?” Calis taunts the redhead, clearly getting under the skin of the two-time Bantam champion by the looks of it. “For too long the Queens have been underestimated. The truth is I’ve been pretty f*cking DOMINANT ever since I arrived in the FCBA. These “established” girls continue to underestimate me at their own peril, as Bella is going to found out tonight. Former champ or not, she hasn’t faced anyone like me before.” Calis says with a cocky smile.
Both girls standing tall and proud later during the staredown segment, brunette and redhead giving each other their own signature smirks before raising fists high and mighty and trained for the other’s chin. Bella still has that dismissive look about her, rolling her eyes repeatedly as though facing off against her opponent is somewhat beneath her station. Whereas Calis is looking cocky for someone with just a fraction of fights under her belt, compared to her opponent. Thankfully, they soon separate without much incident, and the better woman will be decided in the ring proper!
Fight night rolls around and both ladies look lean and mean in their respective corners. Thorne still with those thinned lips upturned, pumped up after her recent win over Demi Rose and now wanting to extend that winning streak all the way across the finish line. Bella is wearing a red bikini top that can barely contain her impressive rack and long black tights, red gloves matching her red hair, pulled back into a high bun. In the opposite corner, we have Natasha bouncing on her feet and looking focused, black gloves strapped on and sporting a black sports bra white tights, her hair in a high ponytail.
The referee signals for the opening bell and HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Bantamweight action!
ROUND 1:
Aggressive Bella is an impressive Bella, who stalks inwards from the get-go and leaves no quarter in her intentions. She wants to finish this upstart brunette off right from the beginning and send a message to Miss Rose of what she’s in for next. Calis defending herself best she can in the opening moments but just not used to the veteran Doll’s momentum and steady stream of punches landing all over, Thorne using her hesitation to pick and choose her punches that land high and low, glancing off the brow or sunk quick and dirty beneath the arms to snag tummy. Calis tries to fend off the assault in the later minutes but can’t catch the former champ with anything significant, Thorne easily slipping and weaving to the side and back whenever she spots those giant overhand swings coming a mile away. Last minute and Calis calms down somewhat and begins to also let her hooks rip only when she can land them - nails Bella once or twice but to her firm guard, and the round ends with the redhead still firmly in the driver’s seat.
ROUND 2:
First minute and it’s a repeat of the last round. We’ve got a multi-time former champ looking for gold in her future versus the relative rookie Calis trying to score an upset here. Calis being physical and imposing, and her slightly bigger bulk means those hooks thrown towards Bella’s head CAN hurt… if they land. Bella’s head movement working overtime as she’s forced to dodge and weave a lot more in the opening seconds, with Calis gritting her teeth, ignoring the jabs that keep tagging her to her face and body, and just throwing blistering shots back to catch Thorne when she leasts expects it: a low thump to the tummy here, another slammed across her guard to stagger her briefly. Thorne just needs to regroup and find her distance, but she’s showing a little more frustration that her blows are simply glancing off the Queen’s visage, and not holding her back. Late in the round sees Calis going ALL IN, suddenly surprising Bella with her own speed and frequency of her punches, throwing a rapid flurry into the arms but inadvertently also scoring off her body and breasts to leave the redhead aching at the bell.
ROUND 3:
No nonsense stance from Bella Thorne, after NOT dominating in the previous round, when she knows she could have, with Calis having landed just too many shots off her frame, and she ain’t happy about that fact. Vapid action erupts in the center as both girls throw their weight behind their shots, more comfortable with getting in close to brawl their way to victory. Calis surprised by the Doll’s aggression, and throws her punches a little too slow and heavy, allowing Bella to swerve in close and around dangerous fire before punting the brunette repeatedly to the base of her chin, and once Calis is all dazed and bubbly, scoring more quick-fire punches off her torso and chest. Wicked payback from a veteran fighter who’s at her prime, but Calis ain’t gonna lie down and die either. Late round and she digs her heels in and pushes back, blocking and blocking and blocking till she doesn’t, a haymaker streaking in all of a sudden and almost taking Bella’s head off, succeeding in pushing her back several steps after it lands with a blam to her arms. Calis lets out a war cry before pushing inwards with more direct fire, trying to turn the tide. But Thorne remains mostly calm and backs away -- sure she’s letting some of those punches land but she’s still confident in her wide margin to end things in her corner.
ROUND 4:
Calis seeing sparks in those last seconds of the previous round, so as predicted, HERE SHE COMES, renewed hunger in those eyes as she marches in and spanks away at Bella’s flanks, targeting that lean torso and sides and ignoring the return punches to her noggin’! Thorne tried to reciprocate the aggression but finding herself suddenly in front of a freight truck headed her way, a torrent of hooks and swings coming at her at a hundred miles an hour! She’s forced to suddenly cover up and scram, though Calis is doing a much better job of setting her up for failure: a feint thrown to the left to move her guard sideways, before a right hand slams into the side of her head to send her reeling multiple times, and steps, towards the ropes. But the Doll grows wiser in the second half, keeping her distance and panting hard, throwing out bigger crosses of her own that stun Natasha right to the kisser to throw her head back and keep her at arm’s length. Not the grand shutout round that Calis was expecting at the bell, but she’s succeeded in making her own statement…
ROUND 5:
First minute and Calis looks absolutely gassed, chest heaving and mouth hanging open, sucking in large swaths of air. There’s something to be said about the rookie’s fighting spirit, but it’s only after racking up close to 90 fights can one boast about their stamina. Fifth round here and Bella has NO such problems, skirting the ropes and bouncing nimbly on her toes. And once she sees the state Calis is in, she doesn’t hesitate. Left-right-left flurries push the brunette back, hounding her arms and face and body, always that last strike landing cleanly as a testament to Thorne's excellent control and precise form. She drives that last punch straight down the middle to gut Natasha in half, that blow to her stomach churning into tender flesh and forcing her to lurch backwards with a gasp. Easy pickings thereafter as the Queen’s guard is ALL OVER the place, leaving herself further exposed to bigger fire… A slick and beautiful haymaker crunches into her nose and lips, THROWING her down to the canvas with a loud THUD! DOWN CALIS GOES, and it’s a KNOCKDOWN for Bella Thorne!
The Dollhouse redhead smiles and nods, sweat gleaning off her fine skin as she struts back to the neutral corner, awaiting the inevitable. Calis not looking too good on the ground, groaning as she turns her body over onto her knees, attempting to hoist herself back up. Meanwhile, the referee’s count only grows more and more steadily, and there’s a look in everyone’s eyes that the Queen’s not going to make it… Not this time… That’s it! He’s hit the count of 10 and waves his arms overhead the distraught brunette! It’s Thorne's dominant victory via KO5!
Official Result: Bella Thorne defeats Natasha Calis via KO5!
AFTER:
Modest celebration from Bella in the immediate aftermath -- the confident former champ has no need to celebrate over such a newcomer to the ring, according to her own headspace. She throws her arms up in the air and parades about the ring, acknowledging her fans with kisses and waves, then summarily ignores the fallen Calis in the other corner.
A respectable showing from Calis in this contest, regardless, though many pundits are already saying out loud that it was a fool’s gambit from the start to contest Bella’s supremacy at this point of her career, especially when both girls were on very different trajectories.
“Showed her, huh?” Bella smirks to reporters later by ringside, still casting side-eyed glances towards the recovering Queen, still puddled in her corner. “She wanted to fight the best and lives to regret it. Maybe one day, Nat. But not anytime soon. Sis has got A LOT of improving to do.”
