LUCY HALE VS EMMA ROBERTS
Results: Lookout Writing: Archer & The Dollhouse
Lucy: 30 YO, 5’2 (1.57 m), 30-30-0, 29 KO since 2010, Pretty Little Punchers
Emma: 28 YO, 5’2 (1.57 m), 20-9-0, 19 KO since 2014, The Dollhouse
Before: First clash between The Dollhouse’s Emma Roberts and The Pretty Little Puncher veteran Lucy Hale. It quickly becomes evident at the pre-fight press gathering that Emma isn’t at all intimidated by the former Flyweight Champion.
“Hale is ‘yesterday’s news’ as far as I am concerned. Why am I fighting her? Because it will good on my record having taken down another overrated ‘has-been’. Portman and Kreuk were the sort of losers I mean by that. The future of the FCBA Flyweight division belongs to younger women in their freaking PRIME, like…you know…ME! but first I need to help clear out the division trash. So here I am punching ‘Loser Lucy’ another step closer to FCBA oblivion, and you guys all know who’s freaking next!!!”
Lucy Hale makes a show of yawning to these sharp comments and then says: “I seem to recall your being put on the canvas by the likes of Jessica Lowndes and Vanessa Hudgens. You may be good, Emmy, but you’re not invincible. Why you haven’t even had a title shot yet. Don’t go calling me a ‘has-been’ when you’re ‘hasn’t happened’. I intend to make sure I teach you some respect before I knock your lights out.”
Emma scowling: “Twatson is a coward, that’s why I’m not getting a title shot, dummy. Everyone knows I deserve it. And when I finally get it – and win it - I’ll do a lot better than the 1 lousy successful defense you had back in the ‘olden days, hag!”
“That was 2016!” snaps Lucy.
“Like I said: the ‘olden days’,” snipes Emma.
Tempers are rapidly rising between the two petite flyweights. PLP sends out Communications Director Autumn Reeser to calm Lucy down. Carmen Electra, CEO of The Dollhouse comes out to apparently back up her fighter.
“I think Lucy will save her further comments for the fight,” Autumn says.
“You do that,” Emma sneers.
“OK, Emma, calm down, save it for the fight.” Carmen whispers,
Lucy and Emma exchange dirty looks and then are led from the stage (in opposite directions). Wild rumors soon circulate that Carmen and Autumn exchanged heated remarks themselves backstage as the astonished Emma and Lucy look on. Some say some sort of a brawl ensued with all 4 ladies taking part, but we cannot confirm any of these rumors, so take them with a big grain of salt. But what we CAN do is tell you the girls are ready for the fight and loud music is already playing in the arena.
Lucy appears first. She is wearing a black bikini with a gold double lightning strike V across the seat and HALESTORM at the point of the V. She is accompanied by trainer Nia Peeples and communications director Autumn Reeser. She wears gold gloves with black laces and black boots with gold faces. Bobbed hair loose, but wetted down.
Then Emma makes her entrance. She is wearing long white tights with ROBERTS in [ink along the sides of the legs. Pink sports bra. Pink and white gloves. Pink boots with white laces. Her hair is pulled back in a battle braid. Trainer Kristanna Loken and CEO Carmen Electra are among those accompanying Emma to the ring.
Clear ill-will between Lucy and Emma as they join the referee for ring instructions. The two jostle and hip bump each other, Stern words from referee required to restore order and get through the preliminaries and then send the two sullen fighters off to their corner. The bell rings.
R1: Emma Roberts launches one of her patented blitz attacks to get thing rolling, but the veteran Lucy breaks that up with driving rights and lefts to the face. Emma knocked back on her heels with blood trickling from a split lower lip. Lucy smoothly follows up with hooks to the belly and then quick swats to the jaw. Emma trying to regroup as she moves away from Lucy, but the PLP flyweight keeps the pressure on the Doll. Lucy looks to be trying to cut off the ring on Emma, but Emma slips away and finally sets up behind her jab at mid-ring. Sharp exchanges as Lucy circles around Emma until Lucy finds Emma’s chin with a clipping right uppercut. Emma stumbles back, gloves up around her head as Lucy pounds Emma’s midsection. Time runs out and the bell sounds. Lucy Hale wins the opening round by a comfortable margin.
R2: Emma out quickly at the bell, but not showing reckless aggression. Lucy comes in hard, swinging for Emma’s head, but gets suddenly pounded to the belly by a flurry of digging hooks. Lucy backing away, doubled up and trying to regain her breath. Emma now bringing rising uppercuts into Lucy’s overhanging face and juggs. Lucy trying to swing away, but Emma is working her to the sides of the head and then trying to drive her mitts between the gloves protecting Lucy’s face. Lucy not having much time to counter, finally does manage so defensive jabs late in the round as she tries to steer herself away from the ropes. Emma maintaining pressure to the bell and walks to her corner assured she has won this round wide.
R3: Lucy and Emma both out quickly for this round and meet amid a flurry of punches in the middle of the ring. Emma goes for the head early, whipping Lucy’s head around as her wetted down hair slaps against her face with every swivel. Lucy hangs in and pounds Emma to the gut with vicious hooks. Two are very close together and several times the referee has to step in and push them apart, but the toe to toe action continues with now heavy leather shelling of each other’s breasts the center of attention. The jugg attacks have both fighters struggling for air as the blows are effecting their lungs as well. Then Emma suddenly strikes at Lucy with a right to the jaw that sends Lucy lurching to one side. Emma quickly follows, trying to pound Lucy back into the ropes, Lucy resisting as both trade head shots. These head blows stagger Lucy and Emma, but they lurch forward for another round of body action. Finally, Lucy gives ground as she is tilted forward by Emma body attack. Round ends with both fighters breathing hard and dripping sweat. Judges give the round to Emma Roberts by a close margin.
R4: Out they come for the fourth round. Lucy trying to duck under Emma’s initial shots to her head and manages to only be grazed on the top of the head. Lucy then strikes back with a driving right to the chin that sends a shock wave through Emma’s body. Emma recoils backwards as Lucy strikes again with right/left to the jaw. Emma trying to make a stand, but her jab is sluggish and poorly aimed. Lucy drives her back into the ropes and pounds away as Emma huddles against the strands just trying to protect her head. Lucy lathers on the leather until the bell rings. Emma slow getting off the strands, but she gives Lucy a defiant shoulder bump as they pass. Lucy spins around to answer the bump, but sharp-eyed referee jumps in to break it up. Meanwhile judges give the round to Lucy wide.
R5: Lucy looking steamed as she sits on her stool. A shoulder bump isn’t much, but Lucy seems bothered she wasn’t able to answer. “Keep your head, Luce, or she’ll hand it to you,” Nia Peeples advises. “Yeah, sure,” Lucy mutters but she’s got her eyes on Emma who smirks back, happy to see she’s got Lucy all stirred up and distracted. Bell rings. Out they come again.
Lucy comes in low and trying to pop up to strike at Emma to the chin. Emma slipping to one side and smacking a solid right to the side of Lucy’s head. Lucy put back on her heels, but comes in again, this time trying to work Emma to the body. Emma bobbing and weaving, firing back her with her own body punches. Lucy is hit hard by these solid blows to her ribs and stomach. Lucy tries to move around to come at Emma from a better angle, but Emma moves with her and trades punches. Then Emma sees an opening and launches a lightning right into the side of Lucy’s jaw. Lucy frozen as the impact smashes into her brain and an instant later Emma’s follow-up left crunches into Lucy’s chin. DOWN GOES LUCY HALE! Lucy crashes forward onto her face and lays there shuddering from the double blows that took her down. Emma hastens to the neutral corner as the referee moves in to count. Lucy groggily pushing herself up and shaking her head as she tries to regain her senses. Count is marching on. Lucy draws a breath and makes it to her feet at “EIGHT!” Referee checks Lucy out and then waves Emma back in. Emma comes storming in, clearly eager to finish Lucy off, but Lucy covers up and just rides it out to the end of the round. At the bell, Emma looks a bit annoyed to have Lucy still standing and Lucy gives her a defiant glare. Emma takes a step in Lucy’s direction but referee steps in and breaks it up. The knockdown assures Emma Roberts the round by a wide margin, but Lucy Hale doesn’t look ready to accept defeat.
R6: Emma definitely out to end this bout in the 6th Round. She comes charging in hard against Lucy who looks a bit slow coming out at the bell. However, Lucy quickly shows she’s still full of fight as she pumps her punches hard into Emma’s body to break up the initial rush. Emma falls back, circles and comes in again, but Lucy again greets her with solid defensive barrage while blunting or evading the bulk of Emma’s strikes. Emma drops back, but now Lucy takes the offensive and finds Emma’s chin with a solid right/left combo that puts the Doll on her heels. Lucy launching more head shots and she has Emma ducking. Emma is trying to push Lucy back with the jab into the Puncher’s body. Lucy takes the blows and scores again, slipping an uppercut behind Emma’s gloves to smack her chin. Emma stumbling backwards, regroups and battles Lucy toe to toe the rest of the way to the bell. Round goes to Lucy by a tight margin.
R7: “I freaking had her!!!” Emma heard to complain, “The little bytch just keeps coming back.” Kristanna Loken says simply: “Then you need to break her every time she tries. Dominate her. Break her spirit!” Emma smiles before rising from her stool: “You know I will do just that.”
Emma comes out full of aggression and charges in against Lucy. Lucy quickly finds herself struggling to cope as the recharged Emma is striking at her head and body in a confusing punch mixture. Lucy then smacked hard to the chin and swatted to the jaw by a neat series of left/right combos. Lucy flounders backwards and Emma steers her straight into the ropes. Lucy takes another hard one to the chin before she can get her face covered by her gloves. Emma then lashes away at Lucy’s abs with slashing rights and lefts that quickly have Lucy doubled up and huddling against the strands. Emma now goes for Lucy’s flanks and gives those side ribs a thorough beating before the bell rings. Emma steps back. Lucy looking shellshocked as she stumbles from the ropes, Emma leers in satisfaction as Lucy passes her. (“I wanted to stick out my foot a trip her,” Emma heard to tell Carmen Electra, “but the ref was giving me a dirty look and I couldn’t risk the DQ.”)
Judges give it to Emma Roberts wide.
R8: “She was all over me,” Lucy complains to Nia Peeples during the break, “I could hardly breathe.” Nia nods: “You got to get control back. Hurt her, Put her on the defensive. Show her you want the fight more than she does!”
Out Lucy comes and its only seconds before Emma is upon her. The two then exchange head punches and it is Lucy who lands a smacking right to the side of Emma’s head to stagger the Doll. Lucy swarms in on Emma going for more punches to the head before Emma can get her protective gloves up around her face to block these blows. Instantly, Lucy shifts to attacking Emma to the torso. Lucy’s arms are churning like piston rods as her elbows move in and out to drive home the punches that are laying waste to Emma’s midsection. Emma all doubled up and struggling to counter Lucy’s fierce attack. Lucy working Emma back into the ropes. Emma sliding along them, trying to keep from being pinned and taking a lot of leather as Lucy driving home the punches. Emma avoids being trapped and makes it to the bell, but she looks rubbery legged as she heads for her stool. Lucy just heads for her corner. She’s back in this fight as she wins the round wide.
R9: “You got to stop her!” Kristanna Loken tells a woozy looking Emma Roberts. Emma nods and says: “I’m trying, Kris, I’m f***ing trying.”
Meanwhile Nia Peeples is telling Lucy Hale: “You’re weakening her, but you got to pound the resistance out of her. Keep up the pressure!” Lucy smiles wearily: “You know that’s always easy for you trainers to say—but yeah, I’ll do it. I really want to beat that snotty bytch.”
Bell rings. Out of their corners come Emma and Lucy. Emma now strikes at Lucy to the ribs and stomach, but as Lucy replies to Emma’s body, Emma goes for Lucy’s chin. Lucy clipped on the chin and knocked back a step or two, but fires a quick jab into Emma’s face as she tries to follow up. Lucy’s jab strikes Emma between the eyes and her attack suddenly stalls. Lucy then goes for the jaw and Emma is swatted hard. Emma reeling away as Lucy scrambles after her. Emma turns and swings a desperate right blockbuster that Lucy blocks with her shoulder and then strikes back with her own right to the side of Emma’s head. Emma’s knees tremble and she lurches into the ropes. Lucy hammering away at Emma’s head, trying to get her to go down, but Emma sliding along, trying to escape the relentless leather storm. Then one last cracking right to the chin AND EMMA ROBERTS GOES DOWN! Emma falls to her knees and then swoons forward onto her face. She is stretched out next to the bottom rope as Lucy scampers to the neutral corner and the referee moves in to count. Emma struggles to rise, she grasps the ropes to try to help, but the strength is gone. She ends up on all fours, looking up bleakly at the referee as he declares:
“NINE!...TEN!..YER OUT!”
THE WINNER LUCY HALE DEFEATS EMMA ROBERTS KO9!
After: Lucy congratulated by Nia Peeples and Autumn Reeser, but her eye is on the Dollhouse corner to where Emma Roberts has been helped. Medical staff seen to assure Carmen and Kristanna that their fighter is battered, but all right. That’s all Lucy needs to stride across the ring and towards the defeated Doll, clearly having some sort of plan for Roberts in mind.
The Dollhouse camp is quick to react however, with both Lauren Mayberry and Hayley Williams dashing towards the ring themselves, sliding under the bottom rope and quickly getting in Lucy’s way to protect the still woozy Emma.
“Out of the way girls. Emma’s coming with me. I earned this after all her sh*t-talking.” An assertive Lucy Hale proclaims, not intending to back off anytime soon.
Emma now finally regaining some of her senses, seems to panic as soon as she realizes Lucy is right there and has plans for her, begins barking at both her stable mates. “Don’t you DARE let her through! Keep her the hell away from me!”
Mayberry and Williams oblige, but Lucy has some PLP backup of her own coming in now, with both Sasha Pieterse and Janel Parrish climbing into the ring and coming up behind the brunette, with Sasha immediately exchanging what seems to be some harsh words with Mayberry, before violently SHOVING the unprepared petite Scot backwards! Poor Lauren stumbles back from the strength of the much bigger blonde, awkwardly tumbling butt first into a shocked Emma Roberts, who yelps in response, immediately pushing Lauren off of her, looking extremely upset and annoyed.
This seems to have been all it took for things to explode, with both Carmen Electra and Kristanna Loken now rushing inside, while Autumn Reeser and Nia Peeples do the same on the PLP side. Both camps clash in the center of the ring, pushing, shoving, and exchanging “pleasantries”, forcing security to intervene and attempt to break things up. Roberts meanwhile, ordering her team to get her the hell outta there, quietly evacuating the ring as quickly as possible among the chaos, escorted to safety by her medical staff. Emma sure looking very upset as some of the crowd can be heard booing the Doll on her way backstage.
In the ring, the camps have been successfully separated by security, with no major inuries suffered on neither side, thank goodness, but as the Dollhouse crew leaves, the victorious Lucy takes to the center of the ring, a microphone in hand.
“You’re a coward Ems. Fight me again whenever you get your nerve back. I’m willing to beat you down again any time. And next time - trust me - you WILL walk with me.” Lucy pauses, taking in the crowd’s positive reaction (to say the least!) before continuing. “Oh…and GOOD LUCK against Nessa next month. I have a feeling you’re going to need a LOT of it.” Lucy ends with a chuckle and a wave to the crowd, thanking them as they cheer her on.
Meanwhile on the aisle, Emma can be heard letting out a frustrated growl as the defeated Ice Queen makes her long way backstage, forced to hear Lucy’s words echoing throughout the arena much to her dismay.
Quite a fight. It was back and forth most of the way. Emma Roberts and Lucy Hale made for an excellent fight with Lucy able to emerge the winner. Should be a good boost for Hale and just might get her title shot next year. A disappointment for Roberts, of course, but this is only her 10th loss in 30 fights. That is a mighty fine batting average in the FCBA so we think she’ll bounce back very soon from this. In the meantime FCBA flyweight fans can savor the memories of this very competitive and entertaining battle.

And next time - trust me - you WILL walk with me.” Lucy pauses, taking in the crowd’s positive reaction (to say the least!) before continuing. “Oh…and GOOD LUCK against Nessa next month. I have a feeling you’re going to need a LOT of it.” Lucy ends with a chuckle and a wave to the crowd, thanking them as they cheer her on.
Meanwhile on the aisle, Emma can be heard letting out a frustrated growl as the defeated Ice Queen makes her long way backstage, forced to hear Lucy’s words echoing throughout the arena much to her dismay.
Quite a fight. It was back and forth most of the way. Emma Roberts and Lucy Hale made for an excellent fight with Lucy able to emerge the winner. Should be a good boost for Hale and just might get her title shot next year. A disappointment for Roberts, of course, but this is only her 10th loss in 30 fights. That is a mighty fine batting average in the FCBA so we think she’ll bounce back very soon from this. In the meantime FCBA flyweight fans can savor the memories of this very competitive and entertaining battle.
