Miley Cyrus versus Demi Lovato
(Words: & Results: Lookout!)

BEFORE: It's a battle of Disney royalty here tonight between Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato, both of whom are former friends. The two of them have been heading in different directions for years, with Demi most recently declaring that far from being BFF's, the two of them are now “acquaintances.” It appears it's now time for the two of the to get reacquainted in the ring, with their last battle in 2014, which ended with Miley emerging triumphant.

Even though both of them are notoriously outspoken, neither of them are inclined to talk to the media before the bout, with both Demi and Miley declaring they will do their talking in the ring. Of course, that doesn't stop any of the pundits from debating which of these Disney stars will be successful, as their loyal fanbases “Smilers” and “Lovatics” debating on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and all over social media in the days leading up to the match. The two pop stars are basically radio silent, though do end up retweeting some of the support of their fans and posting some Instagram photos of them working out as they prepare for one of the biggest bouts of their careers thus far.

On the night of the fight, both of them come down to the ring to their own music, with Miley Cyrus coming into the fight to the tune of “Wrecking Ball.” and Demi Lovato's own hit “Confident” blaring over the loudspeakers as their fans cheer loudly for each fighter.

Miley Cyrus wearing a white halter-style sports bra and shorts with matching gloves – blonde hair short; Demi Lovato clad in a black halter-style sports bra and shorts with matching gloves – black tresses around her shoulders. The two of them step forward as the ref goes over the rules as, for an instant, the two of them look as if they almost want to give each other a hug, but the moment passes quickly as they coolly touch gloves and then stare each other down, giving each other a chest bump before being pulled apart to their separate corners, with some degree of difficulty!

R1: Both of these two are at each other almost immediately, using their physical skills to their nature as Demi just bullies her foe backwards towards the ropes as Miley immediately starts working on Lovato's abs as the crowd roars. Demi rushes Demi back to the ropes, just slinging in her right hand against Miley's fit midsection and digging hard with the left. Miley countering well off of the ropes, though is forced back to sit on the turnbuckle with a frustrated pout on her face, trying to push her way to freedom as Demi uses her power to batter Miley against the corner. Cyrus' legs buckling, trying to clinch up and push Demi away, but Lovato stepping to the right out of the clinch and pounds a rapid right hook into her foe's ribcage, just slipping in shots underneath Cyrus' elbows. Miley doubling over as Demi whips a hard right hook to Cyrus' cheek as she peels backwards at the bell with an intense look of satisfaction on her face as she sends a message here in the first that she isn't backing down from Miley.

R2: Demi moves inside once again as the two of them meet in the middle, leaning heads against one another's chests, just slinging shots and slugging inside as they hammer away at one another's abs. Banging blows ring around the arena, just echoing along with loud grunts and taunts being exchanged between the two, but Demi managing to get the better of Miley in the phone booth as she bullies Miley back to the ropes again. Miley more mobile and better off of the counters, bending at the waist as Lovato just digging in with left hooks. Cyrus elevating the bad blood to the surface slightly as she slams in shots to Lovato's chest to back her up as the two of them are swinging at one another until the bell rings, with Miley impressing by able to battle out of the turnbuckle, although it's still Demi's round.

R3: Miley looking to build off of her strong performance as she goes to bully Demi backwards against the ropes, but as Lovato nears the ropes, she manages to grind her head down against Cyrus' chest and shoulders, just delivering a relentless body assault, mixing in plowing right uppercuts to Cyrus' jugs and a series of left hooks that are low enough to draw warning from the ref. Demi keeping the focus on Miley's taut midriff to demonstrate that she's determined to keep things fair as she slugs in a tight hook to Cyrus' belly button and MILEY TAKES A KNEE! The crowd is stunned, as is Miley of course, who takes an 8 count to collect herself. Demi rolling so far in the match as she raises her hands into the air, bellowing with excitement as she looks down at her former BFF.

R4: Miley rebounds from a devastating round to finally using her legs and speed to dominate Demi this time out. Cyrus using a wide right punch to keep her foe off balance and set up left hooks to nimbly step around Lovato, attacking her from a variety of angles to push her butt-in-ropes. Lovato clearly caught by surprise as Cyrus fights back aggressively, bullying her around the ring for a shutout and finesses her foe for points!

R5: Demi doesn't want that to take place again as she is a little dazed from the last round, but buoyed on by support from her fans as she quickly shifts her focus to a left-right-left combination to Miley's chest and face to push her rival backwards. As Cyrus staggers towards the ropes, Demi manages to send in another ripping right hook to her tummy, with that tummy-work paying off as Miley gurgles and doubles over, setting Lovato up with a clean left hook to her cheek as MILEY CRASHES TO THE CANVAS! Demi dominates to send Cyrus down again, although Miley is up again quickly at 6 as she staggers up using the ropes. Miley slugging back as the two of them battle against the ropes, but Demi pushes and bullies her to the bell as the ref is forced to pull the two of them apart once again!

R6-R7: Demi really getting into a rhythm as she takes both rounds, just pushing, walking and harassing Miley around the ring – really showing off her power as she finishes strong whenever she traps Cyrus against the corner or on the ropes. So far, Demi is ahead on the cards and is clearly enjoying dishing it out against her former friend. Miley not so happy to be on the receiving end as the two of them are taunting each other in clinches and during the breaks. Both of them bashing away at one another to the body, with a lot of long simmering anger rising to the surface as the two of them continue to battle each other down the stretch, with the ref issuing several warnings and pulling the two of them apart at the bell.

R8: Miley gutting it out, however, going toe to toe in the middle of the ring and finally getting the better of Demi. Miley's impressive fitness may be coming into play here as she goes right after Demi is pushed back to the ropes. Lovato ends this round with her back to the ropes as she is forced to soak up rights and lefts to the midsection as Miley is taunting her, breathing hot into her face as Demi pushes her off. The two of them glaring at one another as Demi and Miley are panting heavily, the two of them slick with sweat as they are led off to their corners at the bell.

R9: Miley picking up the fight down the stretch, just pouring it on now as she has her best round of the fight so far, delivering with a high punching output here. Demi used up a lot of her energy in the early round as she is breathing hard, still punching away though as she makes sure Miley understands she is not backing down from her former friend and current tormentress. Miley just spanking at her body with smacking left and rights, giving Demi a taste of her own medicine as she bashes away to her body and breasts, taking a very convincing round as they head into the finale.

R10: Miley just walking right into Demi now, setting up shop with a cheek on Lovato's shoulder and just pumping up body shots with right and left hooks to the torso and tumy. Demi groaning as her legs shudder from the drilling shots to her tummy as Miley digs in deep, the accumulated body punching sending a tremor through Lovato's legs as she backpedals towards the ropes. Miley charging forward as Lovato tries to clinch, Cyrus scoring with short right uppercuts to her chest and thunderous left hooks to the body. Demi actually spills to all fours at one point as DEMI GOES DOWN and sprawls to the canvas, just cradling her tummy and breathing in hard as Miley glares down at her. The ref bodies her back as Cyrus tries to will her foe to stay down, but Demi manages to stagger to her feet. Cyrus surging forward, though as the round winds down, it might be a case of too little, too late. Demi pushed back against the ropes, but fighting well off of them as her eyes are fluttering a bit, but blazing as a fine mist of spread sprays from their bodies with each shot, thudding shots to jug or ripping hooks to tummy as the two of them are battling to the bell and beyond, but as the ref pulls them off of each other, Demi is still on her feet and it's Demi who wins the match via UD10!

AFTER: It's one of the worst, most disappointing defeats of Cyrus' career and one of the toughest, best wins of Demi's career as the two of them are shouting at each other as they are led away from one another, the crowd eating it up as the two of them having a lot of emotions coming to the forefront here as they remind each other of their storied past, dating back all the way to their Disney days and using some very un-Disney-like words to describe it now. Demi and Miley gazing at each other coolly, nostrils flaring, chests heaving and eyes blazing as the two of them are shoving at one another as more refs come in to separate the two as they lunge towards one another as it's clear this rivalry is far from over. As Demi and Miley are approached by the press, neither of them are interested in talking to the press or to one another. Can this friendship be salvaged or will this rivalry be renewed? Looking into the magic 8 ball, it says: Reply hazy try again. You can better believe that these two will try again – in or out of the ring - and soon!
