FLYWEIGHT TITLE BOUT
Results: Lookout!; Story: Caspian & The Dollhouse
BEFORE:
Flyweight champion Emma Roberts is now on a SIX-fight winning streak, with no signs of slowing down, and after the journey she went through to try and claim the title in the first place, one can’t blame her! Roberts looks smug from her seat at the press table, recently putting away Jessica Lowndes and then Dove Cameron earlier, and silencing the pundits who once said she was a one-trick pony.
“Whoever said that needs to be lined up and shot.” The Ice Queen declares, her teeth bared. “I’ve taken down girls bigger and younger than me, and that’s EXACTLY what’s going to happen again tonight. Millie’s gonna be my crowning achievement when I KO her and buy myself another full month as your freaking undisputed champion.”
Brown is no stranger to good luck herself, having been one of the youngest and fastest Flyweights in the FCBA to win the title back in 2022, and then coincidentally lose it to none other than Emma’s stablemate, Avril Lavigne, just a couple months later. When that fact’s brought up by the reporters, the Brit actress’ eyes narrow, and she fights back a scowl.
“It took me just nine months to win my first title. How many YEARS did it take for these Dollhouse bimbos to win their first one?” Brown says, drawing a loud gasp from the audience, as all eyes then swivel to the champion’s corner.
Emma Roberts looks incensed, of course, shooting the challenger a look of hatred. She’s immediately heard mouthing off loudly, making to get back up from her seat and charge her down, but thankfully she’s dissuaded by the team of officials who swarm her. Plus, having her mic cut off earlier was the correct call.
Brown simply continues. “North Americans. Such an insecure bunch. Not sure how we managed to lose to the lot of you. So uncivilized. Don’t worry, Emma. When I take back the title tonight, I’m gonna give it the proper prestige and recognition it deserves, and might I add, a whole lot of class.”
Ladies square off at the podium but it’s just a powder keg waiting to happen, with Emma getting all in Millie’s face, trying to provoke a reaction from the challenger. Brown slightly taller, but not by much, keenly standing her ground, both hands on her hips, letting the champion degrade herself all on her own, with Roberts shoving her chest and shoulders into hers, and flicking that nose and chin upwards in repetition. Thankfully, things don’t escalate beyond that, and the fighters are separated back to their respective corners with the assistance of the ring officials.
Fight night and the stadium has already seen a jam-packed schedule of action for this August PPV, now tapered by one of the many title fights set to take place within its halls. In one corner of the ring, we’ve got the challenger bouncing on her toes, in a simple silver sports bra and white short tights, her brown hair in a tight bun. Millie Bobby Brown raises black gloves to the audience, smirking through her mouth-guard as she jumps up and down in place. In the other corner, the Ice Queen is all ready to dominate again, and true to her name, Emma Roberts is wearing an all-white ensemble of a sports bra and long tights laced with silver, her dirty blonde hair in a tight ponytail, raising both silver colored gloves up and looking ready to rumble.
There’s the referee’s wave of the hand, and HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Flyweight action! This here’s for the Unified Flyweight title!!
ROUND 1:
Emma shows incredible restraint early, fending off early forays inwards from Brown. It seems like the challenger wants the title back, and wants it badly, and keeps skirting forward and throwing combos to the wind, hoping to overwhelm and shock the Doll early. But no, Emma takes the combos calmly, both arms up and loose, blocking high and low, before countering with her own quick jab that lands on the Brit’s nose or lips. That reach advantage was supposed to make a bigger difference, at least according to Brown, but she won’t score any points on what she can’t hit, and she definitely has underestimated how fast and agile the Dollhouse champ has grown since her title win, despite being more than a decade older. Round ends and Roberts takes some fire to the body, but she’s braced for it, and better, uses the opportunity to slap more leather back into Millie’s face to take the first round by a closer margin than the challenger would like.
ROUND 2:
Two can play at that game, though, and Millie stays back as well in the first minute, letting Emma’s legendary impatience flare up all by itself, as it has many times in the past. She exchanges long-range fire with the Doll, and this time, both their punches are landing more frequently, with Millie better able to employ her reach advantage to effect: landing a one-two-three for every one-two that Roberts is able to counter with her own. Roberts grows frustrated as the deficit adds up, and down the line, starts throwing bigger but slower haymakers and hooks into the mix, and though they land on the arms and torso, this just allows Millie to cram more punches in per second, and the end result has the Ice Queen getting pushed backwards with a grunt after eating another grazing shot to her cheek. Bell rings and Brown’s got this next one in the bag, though so far, the action is quite even both ways.
ROUND 3:
Roberts’ corner urges her to keep calm and carry on, but she’s much like her own stablemate, as much as she’d be quick to deny her own fiery temper. First minute and she tries to surprise the challenger with a series of jabs to the left side, before throwing a wild haymaker through the air, aimed for the face. Brown’s a former champ in her own right, and won’t easily fall for that. The deft Brit swerves to one side and counters with a left hand of her own that pokes into the mouth, another one-two quick combo slammed into Emma’s face just before she can back away, sending her stumbling back and cursing from that failed payoff. Second half and all Millie needs to do is keep calm and follow that same advice, leading the rest of the round by blocking the champion’s shots and only taking the ones she knows will land. Bell rings and that’s how the Lookout! starlet manages to pull ahead in the scoreboards! The night’s definitely still young, though!
ROUND 4:
But Roberts doesn’t look worried -- she’s been in much tougher spots than this, and maintains her strategy of letting the younger Brown come to her. And come over she does, thinking the Ice Queen’s resolve might be thawing out, hammering Emma to the body and arms with sudden bursts of energy forward. Roberts, however, bides her time, bracing both her abs and guard to lead her inwards, before suddenly beginning her own counterattack: a right hook crashes back into Millie’s side, another smacks into her arms, which blasts her off-balance, before a final CRACK of an overhand lands clean on the Brit’s cheek! OUCH! Millie doesn’t know what the f*ck hit her all at once, her eyes widened and suddenly struggling to maintain her balance! Thankfully, the ropes are nearby, and she manages to catch herself on it. Emma with that cold, calculated look of now-you’re-mine-b*tch, marches right in and resumes her hammering off the actress’ torso and arms, suddenly forcing in uppercuts and hooks in to try and break her guard completely. Brown however manages to absorb and clinch up, buying herself precious time before the bell rings and the referee is the one who forces the separation! WIDE round back for the champ, who evens the score at four!
ROUND 5:
Both fighters might be a decade apart in age, but BOY do they both want this title equally badly! Roberts fights off the challenger’s forays tooth and nail, even as Millie attempts to rush ahead and use her own youthful stamina to pull ahead, to limited effect. Sure, the Brit girl has the advantage of youth and energy in the tank to spare, but she’s using her reserves awfully early here, marching right in whilst taking shot after shot to her face and body, only to score one or two mean licks off the Ice Queen’s torso, earning one grunt for every two groans endured. Roberts seems fine with this strategy for now, especially if it’s granting her unfettered access to the challenger’s pretty face, and she continues to pick Millie off from a distance with one-two combos that sink into her cheek or snap into forehead, before quickly having to cover up from a return barrage of swings flying her way. Ladies get into more than a couple of clinches as well, catching their breaths as they take turns barreling into the ropes, arms wrapped around shoulders and waistlines, taking close-quarters pot-shots to the sides and ribs until the referee pries them apart. It’s small wonder that the fifth round is declared a draw by the time the bell rings, meaning we’re heading into the second half of this fight to determine a more clear-cut winner!
ROUND 6:
Brown seems to be the one growing frustrated with the lack of progress, probably thinking that her stablemate in Maddie Ziegler (whom she ALSO KO’ed recently) would be a pushover. Come to think of it, this might be the second time the younger woman has underestimated those older than her -- we’re pretty sure she felt differently when she was KO’ed by Avril Lavigne back in 2023 at the end of 10 grueling rounds. First minute and we see an all-out rush inwards from Brown, looking to tip the scales just like the last round. She surprises the slower Roberts at first, who’s still busy catching her breath and suddenly is forced to defend against a barrage of punches sailing towards her face. Roberts defends and contains well, though, arms raised at the last minute to intercept those nastier shots, before hammering the Brit back with her own firepower. But Brown can sense that it’s only a matter of time before she succumbs to the pressure, and decides to amp it up even more! She bullies her way into the pocket, keeping the Doll busy with a series of crosses and hooks to the arms, before helping herself to a nasty hook off the tummy. Emma lurches forward, eyes popping briefly, lips pursed and backing away, but just as Brown goes for the KO blow, the Dollhouse blonde SWERVES on instinct, avoiding the haymaker by the skin of her teeth! Brown instead has her life flash before her eyes when she TAKES an equally nasty shot across the bow that blasts her off to the side, ANOTHER hook rotating her head across the other way to REALLY turn her heels on themselves -- AND DOWN SHE GOES, tripping over the canvas and COLLAPSING down to all fours!! It’s a KNOCKDOWN for the champion, who lets out a ROAR of dominant approval! Could this be it?!
Emma’s pumping her arms and fists all the way back to the neutral corner, leaving a squirming and swaying Millie Bobby Brown down near the ropes! The referee starts the count, as the crowd chants both fighters’ names in a war of their own in the rafters. Slowly, the challenger pushes her way back into contention, wincing the pain away and eyebrows knitted in concentration, one foot rising at a time, before using the ropes to steady herself, and giving a nod to the referee to continue. She’s made it up by the count of 7, and besides the pain behind those eyes, there’s also a fire that refuses to be extinguished!
Bell rings again and we have a good minute and a half left on the clock! And as predicted, HERE COMES ROBERTS, looking to finish her off!! Brown has to BRACE against the ropes as the punches sail back in, using her arms to cover her face and chin, whilst keeping the rest of her body small enough to absorb the punches. Roberts is like a feral cat as she snarls and bangs away, not caring about retaliatory strikes that do come and glance off her temple and chin. All she DOES care about is sticking as much leather as she can into the challenger’s body and arms, trying to break them apart and nail that elusive chin! However, it’s clear that the Ice Queen is tiring herself out rapidly, each of her punches growing weighty and slower, and soon enough, giving Brown more opportunities to tie up with her in a close embrace, essentially wasting the rest of the time until the bell rings. An AWESOME showing from the champ indeed, but Roberts still heard cursing herself for not being able to finish the job there and then.
ROUND 7:
Brown, however, doesn’t look to be much better. Bell rings and she’s still breathing hard as they take their tentative steps outwards. Both girls are gassed at the start of the seventh, and spend the first minute exchanging short but snappy jabs at each other, each girl mostly landing on the other’s arms, but occasionally mixing it up and scoring off the body and off the top of the head. It’s Brown, of course, who makes the same mistake twice, scoring a one-two combo off Emma’s lips and suddenly deciding to SURGE in after her, thinking that the champion might be ready to go down! Of course, this ain’t the case, and a follow-up hook of hers gets parried awkwardly to the side, before the poor Brit girl takes a crushing uppercut right to the base of her jawline, which snaps her head upwards at a painful angle!! OUFF! THIS MIGHT BE ROBERTS’ SHOW YET AGAIN, with the crowd at her back as she pushes in and after the wounded challenger, back to jolting her head left, then right, with another pair of double-hooks, before going to the body and pushing her into the ropes with a whudd whappp OOOughhh sequence of gloves SHOVED into her waistline! Miraculously, Millie Bobby Brown STAYS upright, again holding onto the Doll’s shoulders and arms to keep herself afloat and their bodies glued together! Emma can be heard snarling and heaving hard in the clinch, a part of her not believing that she’s still unable to put this b*tch away for the second time in a row! Nosiree! The bell rings too soon, and Millie is caught almost smirking back at her after the referee forces the separation. But hey -- the rules are the rules, and if the referee ain’t saying anything, the fight goes on!
ROUND 8:
Things do look dire in this last quarter of the match, with Emma Roberts looking hella gassed as she forces herself off the stool and forwards. Of course, Brown is not looking too hot herself, but at least she has her reserves to draw from. First minute sees a valiant effort from Roberts to fend off the challenger’s assault, as both fighters exchange fire from afar, tagging each other to the head and body, but it’s clear that Brown smells blood and wants to tighten the noose. Roberts slowly loses ground, not in as much trouble yet, but finding herself getting pushed back by the odd haymaker that BASHES into the center of her arms or straight cross that pierces her tummy, forcing her to gulp for air and back away again. Brown not giving chase immediately, also biding her time, lips parted and taking in large helpings of air, content for now with pushing the Doll to the very brink and edge. Bell rings and she’s taken in close, though from the way both girls return to their corners, the Dollhouse corner is worried indeed about how much more their champion can push herself forward before she collapses.
ROUND 9:
Emma’s face of course tells a different story, that snarl seemed to be permanently affixed to her lips, eyebrows narrowed to the point of being knitted. There’s no doubt that the Ice Queen’s will is as strong as her body and stamina. First exchange of blows sends their heads flying and turning both ways, but Emma is the one getting wobbled by every combo that lands stiffly, especially when Brown ignores her own mounting pain and just POWERS through, those return hands flying back into the pocket, emphasizing her strength and desire to hurt the champion on aggregate. The payoff works, especially when Roberts gets doubled over by a meaty glove shoved into her solar plexus that BOWLS her in half, and she quickly gets her head jolted to the side by a follow-up hook to the cheek! OUCH! STILL SHE CLINGS ON FOR DEAR LIFE, backing away rapidly and trying to use the ropes to steady herself! But HERE COMES MILLIE, absolutely snarling in her face as she marches right in, elbows working left and right, gloves SHOVED into her torso, then rammed up into her failing arms! Another series of uppercuts break them apart completely, and Roberts gets NAILED by a brutal hit to the jaw that LIFTS her head skywards! STRINGS CUT! THE CHAMP GOES FLAILING ALL THE WAY DOWNWARDS, her head hitting the deck with a loud groan and thud!! Referee swerves in to start his count, but Millie Bobby Brown is already seen celebrating, banging her gloves across her chest and letting out a roar to the audience! Roberts lies UNMOVING throughout the officials count, arms and legs laid out on the canvas, her chest rising and falling, eyes completely shut, OUT COLD! Referee hits the count of 10 and waves it off! We have a new champion on the books, folks!!
Official Result: Millie Bobby Brown defeats Emma Roberts via KO9! Millie Bobby Brown is the NEW Unified Flyweight champion!!
AFTER:
Wow! New champion! If you needed any more proof that Ms. Brown is the biggest and best young talent in the league, how about TWO championships in only her first three years in the FCBA as she ends the Ice Queen’s reign of terror with a decisive knockout win to become our new champion once again, at only 20 years old!
More than half the stadium on their feet, and with many young MBB fans in the audience, the noise levels are off the charts as Millie raises her arms waving to the fans and nodding her head as if to say “YUP! I told you so!” as Roberts continues to lie flat on her back, barely moving and being checked on by her medical team.
Millie soon returns to her corner to exchange hugs and high fives with her team and collect her own thoughts. She’s been in one of the biggest fights of her life, and parts of her pretty face are pink and puffy from all the abuse she’s taken. Of course, the cameras can’t ignore that wide smirk plastered across her face at all times, even as she continues to pump her fists in the air and ride the wave to her second ever Flyweight title. Soon enough, the young mega-talent is officially declared the new champion, the referee raising her hand and handing over the belt, with Millie raising it up high, posing with her belt as the new champion to a massive amount of cheers and a standing ovation.
Later, she speaks to reporters by ringside, continuing to let the adrenaline course through her veins. “What did I tell you lot?!” Millie half-shouts, getting too close to the camera lens, but not caring. “I’m not yet even in my prime, mind you! All these grandmas might as well retire to their rocking chairs, because this time, the title is gonna stay strapped around my waist for a LONG while!”
The young actress certainly knows her worth and is not ashamed to be proud of her immense achievements, and for good reason! We might be seeing this girl with that belt around her waist a whole bunch of times in the coming years, so any doubters better jump on that bandwagon and become a Millie Bobby Brown fan or live to regret it!.
As the new champion makes her victory march out of the arena, celebrating with her team and the fans along the way, the mood inside the ring is pretty dire as the Dollhouse team surround the now former champion. She’s managed to sit up on her stool, and although Roberts is still looking dazed and groggy, it seems like the Ice Queen is starting to realize her reign has just ended as a single tear can be seen running down her cheek. We’re sure that the rest of the Flyweight division (not to mention, her stablemates, one in particular) will have their own remarks and notes for the Ice Queen, but if we know anything about Emma, the proud actress will surely begin plotting her comeback in a matter of days! Better watch out!
Congratulations to Lookout! Boxing and their young mega-talent Millie Bobby Brown – the NEW undisputed Flyweight Champion of the FCBA!
