Results: Lookout!; Story: Caspian & The Dollhouse
BEFORE:
Another Doll on the PPV card and for Bella Thorne, it’s another day at the office after beating Luisana Lopilato barely two weeks ago, now gunning for another high profile Bantamweight in the division: the lovely, sultry Ana de Armas. To hear the Doll tell the story, however, she’s less than impressed by her foe tonight, even as they lock eyes at the press table earlier, and Thorne gets the first chance to speak:
"Not really impressed with Ana's record, honestly. Her win column is padded with trash opponents. She just lost her last two to two skinny Flyweights...that tells you all you need to know. She's never fought anybody in my caliber, I'll be way too f*cking much for her. Watch me style on this clown."
Short, sweet and scathing remarks from the former Bantamweight and JMD champion, who turns her nose up to Ana, quite literally, when they meet later on stage for the official staredown. Meanwhile, Ana is keeping calm and confident herself from across the table, those Cleopatra-like dark eyes fluttering from the sides as she responds in kind:
“I could say the same about dear Bella over there. She’s just coming off a bad losing streak, and the last person she fought was some B-tier washed-up blonde from nowhere. Thorne’s days as the top girl are long gone, and I’ll do my best to remind her that tonight. She’s pretty soft, weak, kinda clumsy and lacks discipline, something which I have in abundance. I’m feeling good about tonight. Beating someone as overrated in this league as Bella will be huge for me right now. ”
We’re in for one hell of a ride as both Cuban brunette and American redhead size each other up at the podium, Thorne’s two-inch height advantage surely gonna be played to effect once they get inside the ring. For now, Ana’s smirking cocky, raising a fist high to Thorne’s chin, emphasising that yes, she can still very well reach (and mess up) her jawline. Bella swatting the brunette’s arm away with a slap. “Get your f*cking fist away from my f*cking face.” The redhead sneers, and before things get too heated, the girls are separated and pushed back by the ring official, with Thorne still gesturing rudely with a pair of middle fingers extended, her tongue stuck out for her opponent to suck it.
Hours later, the arena is packed in high anticipation for this clash of Bantamweight elites. Ana’s had quite a roll on her resume so far, winning eight bouts in a row until Cheryl Cole and Lily Collins spoiled her plans for world domination at the start of this year. Can she bounce back by beating the deadly Bella Thorne tonight? She certainly looks confident in her odds, striding out onto the stage in a black bikini top, dark blue briefs for bottoms and a pair of black gloves on either hand, her dark hair in a sexy bun. She waves to the fans as she saunters down the entrance ramp with a knowing smirk which remains on her face all the way to the ring.
Thorne’s out next to the sound of her own music and some big pyrotechnic explosions in red and white. The sexy Doll is clad in a tiny red bikini top and ankle-length black tights, red hair in a loose ponytail, raising her red gloves in the air to acknowledge her fans as a phoenix rises on the large LCD screens behind. Bella is accompanied by Carmen Electra and the Dollhouse team as she struts towards the ring, laughing and sticking her tongue out to the fans, enjoying the attention and loud cheers throughout the arena.
In the ring, the referee calls this match to order. Ladies are set to go in their respective corners, arms already up and feet shifting side-to-side, ready to rumble! HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Bantamweight action!
ROUND 1:
Thorne’s moving confidently after her early sixth round knockout of Luisana Lopilato, now treating Ana with the same irreverence as she storms in to pound away on her foe’s arms, lefts and right combos hounding the Cuban girl in the opening seconds, to see what’s made of. Ana in full retreat in the very first minute, using her locked arms to weather and block the incoming attacks. It’s clear that she’s anticipated this lack of respect from Bella though, as she stays at a comfortable distance away from the charging redhead, and before long, feels comfortable enough to rock short but effective hooks into the side of the Doll’s face. Thorne’s so busy blitzing that she doesn’t see those right hands coming till it’s too late, suffers yet another stiff blow across the cheek, which turns her head at an embarrassing angle to one side. Ana makes up for her lack of experience with that cheeky, sultry grin still glued to her lips, using her power to show Thorne she ain’t to be trifled with in the very first round.
ROUND 2:
But Thorne ain’t no clueless fighter either - she knows when a strategy ain’t working, and that all-out rushin’ one in the first round wasn’t working indeed. Thorne storms in with aggression this time again, but is a little more slow and deliberate, slamming combos into Ana’s arms but deliberately head-hunting that chin of the Cuban’s, which is rumoured to be made of glass. Armas not making it easy for her, however, returning fire with powerful shots of her own into Bella’s raised guard, occasionally cuffing a shot off that pale tummy, but for the most part, Thorne manages to come out the victor of this exchange, dodging the more dangerous attacks from Ana with sharp weaving before scruffing the Cuban across her chin multiple times with a longer reach. Wide round swings back to Bella, and it’s only a question of who can maintain her own momentum?
ROUND 3:
Ana storms in early to surprise and shock, take the lead in this fight when she WAILS a hard hook across Bella’s arms in the opening seconds of the third, Bella with little lead-time as she flounders to form a coherent defence, gets bashed across the lips at least twice before managing to scoot away and look for a new attack plan. Armas might be shorter, but as her previous foes found out the hard way, the Hollywood actress and newest Bond girl packs one hell of a right hook. Armas takes the offensive once more, eager to drive Thorne into the sea of ropes, and wail away on her tummy the same way she did to dear Lily Collins last time. Thorne’s back skirts the ring ropes for the majority, always on the run whilst jabbing back best she can to the Cuban girl’s face, which earns her some brief respite at the bell, but not before Ana lunges in late, DRILLS a hook to the Doll’s paunch, making Thorne lurch precariously forward with a grunt and curses.
ROUND 4:
Fire in Thorne’s eyes, with the alpha Doll not used to getting manhandled like that. She locks and loads her arms, anticipating another one of Ana’s rushes. But it doesn’t come till at least the second minute, Ana circling inwards with a loose guard, that insolent smirk on her face a message to everyone in the arena that she intends to not just win this fight, but dominate. Not if Bella can help it, of course. A sudden overhand lunges at her but is narrowly avoided when Thorne side-steps with grace and practice. Another uppercut swung to the Doll’s chin also misses entirely, with Ana’s attacks hitting air instead. POW of a return right cross lands though, as Thorne planted her feet and SHOT in that right hand! OUCH!! Ana dazed, her head immediately blown back as Bella’s glove disappeared into her lips! Suddenly, the turn tables! Ana on the retreat, Bella hounding her every step of the way, chasing head and body with jab after jab after jab, and returning the favour just before the bell with a hearty one-two combo bashed into her belly. Ana grunts and folds over, one arm covering her midsection, that smirk on her face long gone and now replaced by a deep scowl.
ROUND 5:
Armas wants payback! And in her own world, she usually gets it! The Cuban actress makes another mad dash towards Bella, and immediately starts throwing hooks and haymakers towards her head, hoping the Doll is tired enough to simply stand still and take the abuse. But this is Bella Thorne we’re talking about, and of course, the agile Doll has kept a close eye on her foe’s every movement - she easily side steps around a straight cross hand, then weaves her head to one side to avoid a follow-up hook. An opening suddenly presents itself, AND Thorne TAKES IT, a right uppercut cutting through the arms and landing FIRM on the base of Ana’s chin, knocking her head skywards silly! Armas in trouble, groaning as another hook catches her clean across her face, further disorientating her stability as she goes stumbling into the ropes! HERE COMES THORNE, stalking inwards, just like last round, pounding away on her body and chest but always going up top to end another brutal combo: Armas’ head ROCKED to one side, her arms flailing wildly as yet another hook connects to her chin, which sends her FLYING down and onto her side!! What a beautiful KNOCKDOWN for Bella Thorne in the first minute of the fifth round!
Thorne with a silent nod at her handiwork, already a smirk creeping back around the corners of her lips, as she pumps one of her arms in the air before striding back to the neutral corner. Referee’s already hovering by Ana’s side, bent over and waving numbers in her shocked face. Ana manages to turn over to all fours, her eyes still squeezed and shut, her entire face winced in pain. She tries pushing herself back up, a last dash of strength forcing shaky legs to stand, but the effort FAILS, with Armas just TOO groggy to recover that quickly! She sinks back down to her knees and HANGS her head on the middle rope! IT’S OVER!!
Official Decision: Bella Thorne defeats Ana de Armas via KO5!
AFTER:
In Bella Thorne’s mind, this win was clearly a given. The Doll immediately raises an arm high as the cheers in the stadium erupt in unison after the referee signals for the final bell to be rung. “EASY!!!” Bella shouts at nobody in particular as she begins removing her gloves. She’s on a comeback tour indeed, and if these victories keep piling up, she might just be poised to challenge for another world title sooner rather than later.
Thorne circles the ring slow and steadfast, soaking in the adoration of the fans. Then, she makes her way back to Ana’s corner, the fallen Cuban still sputtering on her ass as she rests against the ropes. No rest for the weary, however, as Thorne immediately lunges downwards, seizing two fistfuls of Ana’s caramel hair and hauling the tired girl back to her feet.
Words are exchanged face-to-face, just like how it was done in the previous press conference; only this time, it’s Bella Thorne who’s smiling wide, throwing shade after shade into Ana’s tired, frustrated expression. Then, Bella tosses the brunette off to the side, Ana dropping to the mat with a mute thud on her side.
All that’s left to do is pose, with Bella strutting in after her, planting one foot over Ana’s beating chest before raising both arms in triumph and sticking her tongue out for the camera flashes.
Later, the Doll stops to speak to reporters by ring-side as she makes her way out. “Poor Ana..she’s got some soul searching to do. That’s 3 in a row for her. Like, I guess that’s what happens when she’s not ready for the big league girls. Told you her stats were inflated as f*ck.”
When asked who is she gunning for next, Bella surprises with an unexpected candidate. “I’ve got a name for you. Shay Mitchell…I want her. And by that I mean I wanna knock the sh*t out of her.” The redhead exclaims chuckling, then looking straight towards the camera. “What do you say Shay, it’s been a while. Come fight me again if you have the balls!.”
The fans go wild as a challenge is made to one of the few woman who beat Thorne, back in 2018, and has since also gone to beat her stablemate Katheryn Winnick less than a year ago. Will the Canadian former champion accept?
Both us and Bella will have to wait to find out, as the victorious Doll finally disappears behind the curtains with another impressive win to add to her ever-growing win column and a possible big rematch in tow.
