Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: "This is the TRUE Main Event of the night as unified bantamweight champion Nina Dobrev meets the woman who effectively removed her from the Lookout! Boxing roster back in August 2016 - Demi Lovato! It's not about the straps as much as the personal pride between these two however if Demi manages to beat Nina tonight - the original decision made by Paris Hilton & co. will be justified!

No need to ask Nina what she really thinks about that fateful summer three years ago but she admits: "Something needs to be done to silence little Demetria! She doesn't deserve all the love she gets from Paris! I understand Emily VanCamp had to say but replacing me with this bimbo? She hasn't won anything since I left, even Demi Rose busted her up in JMD! How awful! And she claims she's a better woman than me? Like NEVAAAHHHH!!!"

Demi's has her share of problems with substance abuse since joining the ensemble Lookout cast and that's the main reason behind her lack of silverware success. Beating established vets like Lohan & Fishel will only get you as far when you're getting bounced by Demi Rose & Natalie Ayn Lind however Demi's allegedly a new woman this season following some epic wins over Bella Thorne and Minka Kelly. Indeed that Minka pounding on the March Madness PPV directly set up tonight's opportunity as LCA's devilish plan to remove Lovato from the title picture fell on the last hurdle: "Had Demetria lost that last fight, you'd see Hunter King in the ring tonight!", the brief comment from coach Eva Mendes also indicates which girl in on deck for a championship swing next month!

Nina Dobrev wears a leopard print bikini top, black panties & red gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a curled ponytail. Demi Lovato wears a violet bikini set & white gloves. Long dark brown hair pulled back in a thick bun at the back of her head. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Nina comes out BIG and blasts the fellow brunette with a head-hunting assault literally three seconds into the fight. Demi tried to weave around her foe and maybe lure her into an ill-advised attack but you shouldn't mess with the champion like that and the challenger learns about it the hard way! Nina just smacks Demi's cheeks outright and renders her high guard useless while driving the younger girl back to the ropes! Demi tries to swing back but just can't match the intensity of Dobrev's attacks and gets buried behind a high earmuff while Nina almost goes over the edge with all this shots upstairs. She eventually checks back to punish some midsection thereafter yet it's still as impressive as any Lioness fan could have hoped for in the opening round!

Round 2:
Demi probably regrets that slightly careless start to the opener which flooded her with Dobrev wrath but she's sharp as a knife early in the second and accepts the slugging drill the 'Bulgarian Badass' tries to enforce again. Now both girls hammer away at each other and snap their heads backwards until Demi loops a nasty cross on the ear and shows more mobility to avoid the champion's response. Lovato looks more agile of the two indeed and that helps her to set up a quick-fire attack downstairs that interrupts the Dobrev rhythm while another wild hook catches her on the jaw and forces to step back into mid-distance. Lovato barks in delight over that retreat but Nina keeps her focus as both girls circle each other to close out the round.

Round 3:
Another slugging tangle marks the opening minute of the third but this time the precision goes away and most head shots actually miss the target until Nina switches low to punish Lovato's midsection. Ugh! The challenger tries to spin away from this move but gets stuck on her heels and she's late to deliver the overhand response because Dobrev DRILLS her on the solar plexus first and sends her into scowling mode... Demi tries to jump into mid-distance again but trips over her own feet and gets SMOKED by a left hook on the jaw... gravity does the rest and LOVATO CRASHES ONTO THE BACKSIDE just like that! Huh! "Lucky punch, bytch!", Demi pretends nothing happened out there when she beats the count at six alas Nina storms her with a jabbing blaze and pins into the turnbuckle where she adds more pesky shots to the body to shut the challenger out!

Round 4:
Lovato seeks immediate revenge for that knockdown and rallies around Dobrev's ribcage but the champ wants to add more damage and swings at the Lookout! heir with similar wrath only to find her target is still too quick for her in places... Demi doesn't make the same happy feet mistake twice and drops wicked harpoons on Nina's midsection before blasting her on the jaw as she takes over the phone booth slugging drill. Nina ain't gonna back off but gets picked too often to stand her ground and as she tries to slip underneath the aerial assault, she eats a piledriver on the mouth that stuffs her on the heels. She's neutralized long enough for Demi to SMOKE her on the nose with a cross double and then send the crowd roaring when she NAILS her on the left temple a split second later... AND DOBREV GOES DOWN!!! "It's a payback, bytch!", Demi gloats over the champion before she gets shoved away by the ref and Nina endures the full eight count while staring at the canvas rather than her opponent. She gets up but doesn't have the comeback rush present and gets pummelled back to the ropes when Lovato swings around upstairs again! Huh! The clock runs out on the New Mexico native but she's right back in this one, folks!

Round 5:
Nina avoids a checkdown damage control in the fifth but eats too many hooks from point-blank range to sustain the slugging route which allows the challenger to hassle her around once she bolts into mid-distance safety. The punching volume drops dramatically and even Tess Valmore wonders whether Nina actually shocked over such a swift knockdown response from the woman who replaced her on the Lookout! roster? And Demi gets vocal as she taunts the champ like she OWNS the place! Nina punishes her with some accurate single strikes but keeps side-stepping the fellow brunette which isn't the way to go if you're defending the stripes. Demi secures a shaky round and claims "Nina is mentally broken" when talking to coach Julie Benz during the interval.

Round 6:
More of the same in the sixth, Demi dominates the hassling route and outworks the champion in close range while Nina appears to be looking for answers now that she couldn't bully her foe around like she wanted to! Some inside knowledge there from the ex-Lookout! member? Demi's poised enough to avoid a flat-out red mist rush and maybe that upstages the Lioness plan as the single-punch trading will not throw the challenger off her stride at all. Lovato has matured into becoming a lineal champion according to Paris Hilton's pre-fight comments but nodody buys that until you can walk the walk. And Demi walks it alright when she lands more crisp hooks on the body to shut a sluggish looking champion along the ropes for majority of the final minute. "Fuckin' listless" is the twitter reaction from Bella Thorne and she might be just about right with her take.

Round 7:
Nina finally gets out of her "listless" funk and resumes the head-hunting pursuit which forces Lovato to use her seemingly superior mobility just to stay clear but she's unable to match the mid-range intensity so seeks a proper attack from the inside. She tags Nina's boobs in order to shake her off but eats a nasty left/right combo over the top before Dobrev adds more damage across the nose as Lovato leans too far backwards and almost allows gravity to take over again... Nina just couldn't deliver that shot this time but she still bumps Lovato into reeling mode while driving up the middle to force a proper retreat... this is truly a matured performance from the 'Short Fuse' Lovato as she plays into her strenghts and spends remainder of the round making Nina look desperate and ineffective in her hassling pursuit. No wonder the 'Bulgarian Badass' looks angry at the bell and mumbles something in Demi's direction before turning back to her corner.

Round 8:
Dobrev seeks more success from mid-distance but gets affected too much by Demi's back & forth merry dance and almost reaches out too far which leaves her in danger of getting caught with a pure overhand response. Lovato misses on that chance though and gets too cute in making Nina look desperate which allows the champion to WHACK her on the jaw with a piledriver from the left... Just don't get too cocky NOW!!! Too late... Dobrev leaps at the fellow brunette and blasts her around from both flanks which drops Lovato onto the ropes and by the time she locks that clinching stalemate, Nina manages to tear a small patch across her nose which really upsets coach Benz in the Lookout! corner! No way back for Demi here as she gets pushed into the turnbuckle where she packs a couple of kidney shots in desperation and suddenly it's Dobrev who catches a second win in her sails as she taunts the Lookout corner almost out of order!

Round 9:
Boom! Back we go to the slugging route as the tactical prowess is thrown right out of the window with both women basting each other upstairs from both flanks... it's impressive at this stage of the fight but the resistance level must be compromised according to several pundits watching this back & forth contest... Demi begins to bleed from her cut across the nasal ridge but she still gives Nina a swollen lips nightmare while pushing for the ultimate glory... she ducks underneath the aerial barrage to plug some jug shots from the inside but only makes it count when the champ skims off the top of her forehead and wobbles forward straight into a JACKPOT HOOK on the solar plexus that halts the Bulgarian attack... Ugh! Nina yelps in pain as she loses her rhythm and gets DRILLED with a vicious hook on the jaw... Demi cranks it up from the hip and delivers the HOME FRICKIN' RUN when she nails the briefly stranded foe on the jaw so HARD she sends DOBREV ACROSS THE RING... that's your unified bantamweight champion shooting into the orbit and she crashes down with a loud thump indeed!!! Knockdown for Lovato and my oh my, that was a beast of a shot!!! Nina can't stop aching her heart out as she scrambles onto all fours but as she tries to make a complete recovery the legs simply give way and she STAYS DOWN FOR THE COUNT!!! Holy Toledo! The Decision has been justified.. for NOW!!! KO9 and your NEW unified bantamweight champion Demi Lovato!!!

AFTER: Pandemonium follows as soon as the bell rings out! Eva Mendes wants to smack Paris Hilton who tries to beat everyone to for the front page shot... Nina is left kneeling down on the canvas while Demi bunny hops around her in "Who's your boss now, bytch?" fashion! She demands Nina to look her straight in the eye and the deposed champion obeys which forces a Walk of Shame audition much to the crowd's delight. Meanwhile coach Mendes has enough class not to punch Paris Hilton in the teeth but shoves Julie Benz away as tempers almost boil over...

Demi whispers something into Nina's ear during the Walk and we get no response from the former champion alas the death stare she gives Lovato indicates all is not well between them. Quite frankly Nina probably accepts this situation only due to her ties with fellow Canadians Elisha Cuthbert & Emily VanCamp who still play a prominent role in Lookout's organization.

Over to coach Mendes talking to ESPN's Erin Andrews: "We all know Paris Hilton made this stupid call to drop Nina and hire someone with suspicious character like Demi! We love Elisha, Missy (Peregrym) & Emily too much to tear the place down just because this overrated #### won a single clash. It's not frickin' over! Far from it! We'll probably settle for a JMD rematch soon as this was always the original target until Demetria got blown away by Demi Rose. I mean, who even tries to become a poster-girl for any franchise with that name? Gawd, Demi has earned herself a spot right up there with Vanessa Hudgens! We won't let it go anytime soon!"

Meanwhile Demi finally released the wrist lock she used to parade the deposed champ around the ring and orders Nina to bring the straps back to the Lookout! corner and go down on her knees to worship the new queen in town. Okay, now you're pushing it girl and Julie Benz acknowledges that as she drags her protegee away before things get Chimera brawl-ugly. Eva Mendes sends the belt swingin' over at Julie but warns everyone: "She won't enjoy it for too long!" and escorts the subdued Nina back into the locker room. The replacement girl has won the title but it's by no means over between the two newest arch-rivals in the league! You can count on it!

Official Result: Demi Lovato def. Ch Nina Dobrev KO9.
