(2-5, 2 KO vs 10-11, 10 KO)
Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago
BEFORE: "Enough with this losing thing, I'm here to WIN!!!", Dakota Fanning displays plenty of confidence ahead of her PPV return however only BLONDE! Magazine - for somewhat obvious reasons - shares the same opinion as her tonight's opponent Victoria Justice comes off a confidence-boosting victory over Madison Pettis and vows to annihilate the "soft bytch". One wouldn't suspect Tori of such feisty attitude based on her slender frame but 2018 shapes up to be a break-out season for the ex-Nickelodeon starlet with some unnamed sources linking her as Selena Gomez replacement over at the Lioness Club of America before the year is over!
Dakota Fanning wears a yellow bandeau bikini top, brown panties and white gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a sleek ponytail. Victoria Justice wears a leopard print bikini top, black panties and red gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a sleek ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.
Round 1:
Victoria remains a free agent but she's flanked by Eva Mendes in her corner tonight which really spices up the rumours about her imminient future and Dakota is simply caught off guard early soaking up punches on the fly. Ugh! It's 'Take that, bytch' attitude that sends her rocking onto her heels as Tori clatters into her cheeks like the high guard doesn't even exist. The blonde struggles to respond from the back foot and gets bumped around the area before dropping onto the ropes like a mere sparring partner while Justice keeps picking her off up the middle. The crowd quickly recognizes a good beatdown in the making and cheers with every punch that snaps the blonde ponytail which renders Fanning completely outclassed in pillar-to-post fashion. Ugh! Victoria lacks that big punch but she still makes the blonde gasp in pain at the bell with some early bruises marking the younger girl's face already!
Round 2:
Dakota's getting desperate quickly as she tries to nuke the brunette with a seemingly improbable haymaker. First, she doesn't have genuine power to find that punch and secondly, Tori's supreme footwork makes her efforts look awkward at best. She connects with several faint strikes before yielding real estate as Justice begins to swing it upstairs again. It was all talk from Fanning before the opening bell and now she avoids a classic flyweight punchfest once she realizes the Justice/Mendes combo carries some momentum here underlined with a nasty belter on the ribcage which folds the blonde in half at the bell.
Round 3:
Dakota would struggle to make an impact down at strawweight with some of these punches and Tori is having a good laugh in the opening minute until she gets blasted by a seemingly wayward hook that drops her on the heels. Ugh! Dakota somehow finds the follow up and rips into the brunette's guts backing her into the ropes on speed dial. She sticks a proper harpoon around the liver area and cashes in with a mindless route that snaps Victoria's head back & forth before a scything cross on the mouth LAYS HER SIDEWAYS AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE... Uh-oh!! Tori avoids going down and since there's no standing eight count rule in FCBA, Dakota loses the aggressive plot herself and allows the aching brunette to clinch her instead. What a let off for the Florida native! She escapes a looming disaster as Erin Andrews belives Fanning was one or two crisp punches away from sending her down for the count!
Round 4:
More rolling punches from the blonde as she tries to upstage the arrogant rival who thankfully gathers her thoughts under Eva Mendes' pep-talk during the interval. Dakota doesn't have the power supply neccessary to raise her stakes and bounces off the high guard with Tori's mobility reigning supreme again. She allows the younger girl to wear herself out before bombing her straight up and dissecting the weak high guard in the process. Fanning refuses to back off from the phone booth tangle which proves to be a mistake as she eats a quick hooking double on the jaw that drops her cover and enables Justice to WHACK her with a wild hook on the left brow ridge. Ugh! Dakota stumbles back towards the ropes and gets gashed with another quick cross that half-spins her to the side with a loud groan right at the bell. Victoria yells out at her and barges her in the chest which forces the referee into action but coach Mendes is smiling again so everything's under control in the brunettes' corner.
Round 5:
One has to give credit to Dakota for trying as she flirts with another head-hunting assault however she simply can't match the brunette's footwork and gets sucked into a proper barrage once Tori connects with her own route. The blonde's high guard crumbles underneath the onslaught and when Justice clips the chin a couple of times, Dakota tries to step back into mid-range by default. She's not fast enough though and gets nailed with a piercing hook on the lips a split second before the older girl unleashes the cross-hook on the nose that renders her numb. Ugh! Dakota groans in pain over that last shot but my oh my, keep those mitts UP!!!! Too late... Victoria BLASTS her with another cross on the jaw and FANNING GOES DOWN amid wild cheers from the audience. "Zoe Saldana would be proud of that glass jaw!!", that's Eva Mendes ready to climb the ropes and the count is waved off at six with misty-eyed Fanning down spread eagle in the center of the ring. KO5 Victoria Justice!!!
AFTER: "No comment!", Eva Mendes dismisses the media inquiry regarding Selena Gomez's future and whether Tori's performance was impressive enough to warrant the potential swap. Besides the former Nickelodeon starlet wants to have a little fun first and drags the otherwise hollow Dakota by the hair around the ring before forcing her to lick her boots. Ugh! That's straight up from Samia Ghadie book of horror but Justice is no stranger to BBU extra punishment at all. She leaves Fanning face down and apparently doomed for mental collapse before finally admitting she hopes to catch up with a stable soon. The long stare over at Eva Mendes seems to tell a lot but the two Latinas head to the VIP bar next so nothing official crowns Victoria's victorious performance. Erin Andrews reckons there's never any smoke without a proper fire so the LCA Beta flyweight situation is definitely the one to watch in the upcoming weeks!
Official result: Victoria Justice def. Dakota Fanning KO5.
