Results: Lookout!; Story: Caspian & The Dollhouse
BEFORE:
Tough love for Avril Lavigne, whose recent rubber loss to hated rival Emma Roberts puts her in the difficult position of second Flyweight dog within the Dollhouse, something the former Queen has trouble swallowing during their pre-fight press interview, when a reporter dares to ask how she’s feeling about her thoughts on the Ramirez-fight tonight:
"I don't CARE if she beat Michelle...I beat Michelle too, remember? She has less than 10 fights under her belt. Why the hell should I be scared of her? She should be scared of ME,” Avril says, her nostrils flaring.
That’s uncharacteristically fewer words than normal for the Doll, who seems to be throwing some sort of tantrum as she refuses to say another word into the mic, instead sitting back in her chair and folding her arms across her chest, ignoring the other questions thrown her way. Well, the first reporter tried to get something outta her, at least, and the attention of the room then naturally turns to Cierra Ramirez, who’s seated just a couple of feet across of Lavigne at the table.
Cierra giggles as she says in turn: “Sorry Avril hon, I'm having a hard time imagining anyone being scared of you. Especially me. We've all watched you hitting the deck plenty of times against new girls this past year or so...and we've all seen what Emma did to you just two weeks ago...have you even properly recovered from that ass kicking? I sure hope you did because I'm going all out on your ass tonight, and I love putting girls to sleep. The truth is, you're getting old princess. You don't have the chin, the stamina or the abs to survive in there against me. Get ready to see a proper pummeling you guys!"
It’s a sad day in hell if an upstart girl like Ramirez is giving a veteran like Lavigne the finger, and what’s worse is Avril herself looks shaken and nonchalant as she dismisses her comments, either because she’s seen and heard this kind of false bravado before or the fact that the Doll’s confidence is not what it used to be after several recent losses.
Either way, Avril makes her entrance hours later dressed in her usual ring-gear, a black and pink sports bra and tights and matching gloves, hair tied in a messy ponytail, a half-hearted smile on her face as she’s greeted by her legion of fans in the arena. The going hasn’t been great for the Doll but she hopes to stake a comeback with a clean and easy victory over newcomer Ramirez tonight. Cierra on the other hand looks as cocky as her confident words spoken earlier, leaping onto the stage clad in a two-piece dark-green bikini set, showing off her immaculate and strong looking figure as she struts down the aisle wearing white gloves, black hair tied neatly in a bun, thrusting both her hands high into the air to make an “X” pose, a big smile on her face as she looks to add another veteran scalp to her growing boxing resume.
Ladies square off in the ring and Cierra’s still trying to get a rise out of Lavigne, taunting her straight to her face and making more rude gestures towards her with her fists, but Avril’s still not biting, with the two girls returning to their respective corners to await the referee’s greenlight. Without further ado, HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Flyweight action!
ROUND 1:
Avril knows this is a must-win against an inexperienced but dangerous opponent, and starts off very cautious as she dances around and to the side of Cierra instead of heading straight for her. She’s clearly worried about Ramirez’ power as she sends jab after jab at the smaller girl’s head in order to keep her away, and in doing so, frustrates Cierra’s early attempts to rush her down. Cierra’s your traditional gungho mean-spirited youngster, and she’s clearly trying to knock the old singer out early to make a statement, but to no avail. Lavigne gains a measure of confidence as she slams another right hand clean into Cierra’s face, making her wince and squeal before doubling back. Uncharacteristic tactics indeed for the former Dollhouse Queen, as she relies on her boxing experience to out-play the newcomer’s sloppy swings early. Cierra’s smirk goes missing when the bell finally rings to end the first round, calling her own fight team out as she returns to her corner, those rude gestures now turned upon those on her side, as Avril takes the opening round wide.
ROUND 2:
Cierra’s strategy appears to be “If the first rush doesn’t succeed, rush rush again”. The youngster’s banking on the fact that her counterpart is almost twice her age, and can’t keep up with her youthful energy for too long. Avril grunts as more jabs and crosses come sailing in and slammed into her arms and body, the occasional fist smacking into her chin to throw her head backwards with a groan. Cierra doing well in the first half of this round but suddenly has to face Avril’s counterattack in the second, when the Doll applies some counterpunching skills of her own to smack a hook clean across the young girl’s chin, which somewhat blunts Cierra’s advance the rest of the way. Ramirez however is as hungry as ever, continues keeping up the pressure as she crowds inwards to brawl with the Doll, but Lavigne’s still doing relatively well at keeping pace with her here - she’s still full of energy in the second - as she counter-attacks with another cross hand that lands on the brunette’s nose. Close round overall but Cierra’s gonna take it from earlier.
ROUND 3:
Even a young girl like Cierra can’t keep up her chase for long - Avril exploiting her opponent’s sluggishness now as she tags Ramirez repeatedly on her face from afar, using Cierra’s slower movements and far enough distance to score points all over her frame. Here’s the chance to make a statement of her own as the Dollhouse Queen’s backers roar from behind her advance, that characteristic Lavigne-fire back on display as she rams another hook into the younger woman’s body’s side, then another overhand right bangs into her guard to momentarily stun Cierra to the spot. But Ramirez suddenly comes alive in the final minute, a barrage of swings and swishes sent firing back towards the Doll on her next approach, scaring her off in the final seconds of the third - it’s not the best round for Lavigne but at least she’s managed to retake this round close.
ROUND 4:
We’ve never seen Avril this focused before, especially after that high point of fighting fellow stablemate Emma Roberts (and coming up just a little bit short). It’s make or break time for the Queen as she fends off a potential usurper to her throne, making short work of Ramirez in the first minute by fending off another blitz attack (a flurry of jabs pounding into her arms) by returning with one or two jabs to those luscious lips as she draws a louder squeal from the Latina. Ramirez, however, still relentlessly charging in, trying to bulldoze the ageing fighter off her feet, but she’s ignoring the fact that Avril has a TON of experience over her, and experience has got to count for something, damnit. Lavigne scores another right cross to the face that pushes Cierra backwards, and this might be the worst round for the younger fighter in her short but illustrious career! Cierra groans as more fast combos sail in one after another, pounding away at her defenses, Avril trying to push her into the ropes for the killing blow, but unfortunately, the bell rings TOO soon for her to score the knockdown, and the Doll has to be content with a raised hand and loud gasps of air from her opponent from the other corner.
ROUND 5:
Overall, Avril’s faring a little better than a certain Michelle Williams after Cierra put her away like she was chump-change. Ramirez however has the benefit of youthful energy, is able to go ten rounds if she really needs to, or more. Avril, on the other hand, shows signs of lagging in the fifth, opting to focus on her defence as she locks her arms over her head and moves sideways like she did in the first round. She’s banking on the fact that Ramirez is ALSO tired and needs a breather, but obviously, that’s not the case: Cierra circling in hard and fast, wanting payback after that disastrous fourth. Avril grunts as her power comes into play, Cierra slamming punches into her arms and body whenever she gets the chance to, more and more combos fired into her arms as the Doll gets pushed backwards. Late in the round, Avril tries to fall back on some of her counter-punching again - it worked before, didn’t it? This time, however, Ramirez shows her own weaving and bobbing skills, able to see those lumberous hooks coming n before she moves her head and torso backwards to avoid. Avril does manage to squeeze in some counter-jabs to the brunette’s face and chest, but she’s gonna have to concede this round overall, we think.
ROUND 6:
AND LAVIGNE WITH THE KNOCKDOWN - HOLY HELL - that came outta NOWHERE in the first moments of the sixth! Ramirez had charged forward as she’d always done, making a beeline straight for Avril and firing a one-two into the body before her head got SWIVELLED to the side by a return hook to the chin! Good lord! Avril was surely anticipating her foe’s assault and then paid her back with a chin-checker of a right hand! Ramirez ROCKED by yet another hook across the face after that number but it’s more than enough ammunition to send the youngster DOWN to the canvas!! It’s a KNOCKDOWN for the Dollhouse Queen, as Avril raises her hand high to the cheers of the crowd! IS THIS GONNA BE IT?!?
Ramirez slowly taking her time, having fallen down to her side but still alive and scrambling back to recover - she looks more embarrassed than anything as she quickly pushes her way up to her knees, then uses the top rope to pull herself to her feet by the count of 8! Quite a scare there and Avril certainly looks more than a little happy at scoring the first blood of the night. There’s two more minutes left on the clock though, and it’s her chance to really put the young fighter away for good!
Bell rings and AVRIL CHARGES, as predicted! It’s a hell of a long shot to finish this fight and for the next thirty seconds, Cierra gets trapped on the ropes from one hell of a shelling! Lavigne’s swinging away the youngster’s head and body, hooks sent in from the side in attempt after attempt to throw Ramirez back down to the hard canvas… the problem is Avril’s running out of breath as she swings away with whatever strength she has left. The older blonde is gnashing her teeth as she pounds away, but at the same time, her breaths are getting more and more laboured, with her swings quickly losing their power and speed. The second issue is Ramirez’ guard still looks impeccable as the sturdy young fighter turtles up on the ropes, hides her head behind her arms in an attempt to stay alive and as her body absorbs most of the heat - Cierra’s still groaning for a good minute but seems to somehow shrug off the damage, poking her head out to counterattack: BAM! a huge right hand to the cheek goes right through the guard and stuns Avril right back, before a follow-up uppercut grazes her on the chin and almost throws the Doll backwards completely!
Last minute and the tables have turned here folks! The tired blonde stumbling backwards with the brunette right on her, hounding her, Cierra swinging at a spooked looking Lavigne who’s letting out yelps and loud groan after loud groan as the younger girl peppers her weakening guard with haymakers, another tight hook CATCHING her clean on the side of her face, half-turning her about on the spot! Avril’s thrown backwards across the ring, running for her life from the surprisingly invigorated bull that is Ramirez, and her own corner can’t believe what’s happening before their eyes, the Doll’s chances of winning this fight suddenly looking like a long forgotten dream as their girl takes another punting right hand to the middle of her nostrils, which snaps her head backwards. Lavigne’s in big trouble but all she has to do is stay alive for the final thirty seconds of this round, which is easier said than done as her back hits the ropes and her eyes widen in panic , Cierra’s aflame and hungry for payback, suddenly all hyped for revenge and is right in her face. The youngster leaps in and goes APESHIT on the resident Doll on the ropes, big guns sending a flurry of hooks and uppercuts at the older blonde, wearing down her defenses as another hook CONNECTS with Avril’s chin, which almost throws the hapless blonde over the top rope after getting rotated about by Cierra’s power!
Ramirez STILL not done, burying more shots into the gut, alternating between folding Lavigne over in half before stacking her head back up with an uppercut swing to the base of her jawline. Ramirez delivering on her promise as she pummels Avril mercilessly here, the overwhelmed blonde offering minimal resistance at this point, looking shell-shocked and powerless against the brunette’s raw power and newly found aggression! BAM! BAM! Cierra’s relentless punches blasting through Avril’s meek guard attempts like a bunker buster plowing through a ramshackle hut and hell – wake up ref!!! Avril’s not gonna be fighting for too much longer if this massacre doesn’t get stopped!! But it’s ALREADY TOO LATE - Avril GROANS as Cierra’s right glove disappears into her body, the poor Doll gets literally shoved through the middle ropes by that punch, her butt pushed through first as she remains folded and slumped on the middle rope with half her body already outside the ring, arms totally limp at her sides! Cierra bounces back to create some separation and then FINISHES Lavigne with a clean beauty of a straight that SMASHES right into the middle of the poor singer’s unprotected face, the force of the punch finally pushing the beaten Canadian backwards and OUT of the ring as her battered body bounces the ring apron and plops DOWN to the side of the ring in a heap with a loud THUD!!
WOW! Lavigne is DOWN! She’s been literally punched out of the ring by Ramirez! She's not moving! Is she OUT??? A DISASTER looming for the Dollhouse team as coach Loken covers her face in dispair while the Doll's fans cover their mouths in shock. A HUGE knockdown for the young Latina, who raises her arms in triumph as she struts to a neutral corner with a satisfied smirk, leaving her veteran opponent in ruins outside the ring in what might be another huge upset in the making. Lavigne rolling slowly to her back looking completely groggy and broken as she lays splayed on the floor, barely moving, chest heaving in rapid fashion, clearly struggling to breathe. The boxing rules give a boxer a rare 20 count for falling out of the ring which might be what Avril needs here to save her skin, as the referee quickly begins hollering digits by the top of the ropes, making sure the former Dollhouse Queen can hear every syllable on the way to her possible demise. Her fans doing their best to rile up the blonde by chanting her name, but Avril’s clearly out of it, Cierra’s guns doing a real number on the Canadian’s soft frame and face, the Doll barely conscious as she remains flattened against the floor, limbs splayed and unmoving for the entire duration of this long count, her eyes blinking rapidly as she struggles to get her bearings, her once proud face now merely an image of shock and awe, in her own world of pain amidst the roar of the crowd. It’s no use! Even her fans know she cannot possibly continue this fight. Avril is finished and the ref hits the count of 20 and WAVES THE FIGHT OFF!! IT’S OVER!!
Official Decision: Cierra Ramirez defeats Avril Lavigne via KO6!
A humiliating end to this contest for one proud veteran of the ring and A HUGE win for a new rising force in the Flyweight division as Cierra Ramirez demolishes Avril Lavigne in dominant fashion, mere months after doing the same to Hall of Famer Michelle Williams. Is this girl a champion in the making? You can’t argue with these kind of results!
Ramirez’ hand is raised by the referee as her fans reward her with a standing ovation, the brunette circling the ring with her arms above her head and a big grin, taking in the support of the crowd and enjoying her well earned victory. She comes to a stop near the ropes just above the spot where Lavigne still lies at ringside, now being attended for by the Dollhouse medical team, who are doing their best to help the fallen blonde regain her senses and and get her to sit up, albeit with not much success for now.
Cierra proudly looking down at the beaten blonde from above, then her eyes surveys the crowd sitting close by .“Did she really say I should be scared of THAT?!” Cierra asks the fans, giggling as she points down at the defeated singer, who’s still looking way too out of it to even remotely comprehend what is being said while her team try to help her lift her spinning head off the floor with not much success as Lavigne’s head flops back down to the ground after mere seconds.
“I mean…LOOK at her…poor girl is seeing STARS! Better get that stretcher in here again…she’s not walking out of here tonight. Hell no! Not after what these babies did to her!” Cierra smiles and flexes her guns to the cheers of the fans.
Done having her post-win bit of fun, Cierra then walks over to her corner, high fiving her team while officials and reporters begin swarming the ring.
A short minute later, the brunette is stopped by reporters on her way out of the ring and asked to comment on her big win tonight.
“I knew coming into this that she wouldn’t be able to handle me. She’s too soft, and honestly… too old. She wants a shot at the title? Please.” The Latina rolls her eyes and chuckles. “You hit like a girl Av. And now you know I hit like a TRUCK! That’s why you’re going to the hospital now and I’m…well…I’ll be at a party in about an hour!” the brunette laughs and starts walking away, but then remembers something, turns back and grabs the microphone again. “Oh and by the way…Roberts, you’re the Dollhouse’s “Alpha” now, right? Well, if you think you can do better than poor Av here, by all means have Carmen give Roselyn a call. It would be really cool to add your overrated name right next to Avril’s on my victim list. Adios!”
Cierra poses for the cameras one last time, playfully flexing one bicep as camera flashes flicker all around her before making her way towards the backstage area, chuckling as she passes right by a team of Dollhouse staff members carrying a stretcher, rushing towards the ring to carry Lavigne backstage for proper examination, which surely will be followed by a long painful night of contemplation at the local hospital. The boxing ring is a cruel place indeed!
