(The Dollhouse vs Free Agent)
Intro: The next bout tonight sees Emma Roberts continue on working to improve her record and hunt down the flyweight title, this time she fights Dakota Fanning; whose looking for her first win in over 2 years. Emma is 26 years old, stands 5'2 and holds a record of 1 win, that by knockout and 4 defeats. While Dakota is 23 years old, stands 5'4 and holds a record of 2 wins, all by knockout and 4 defeats. The fighters met at the press conference with Emma giving Dakota a look over and smirking at her, clearly not impressed by her, with the girls heading to their tables to begin the press conference properly with Emma speaking first. "I personally asked for Dakota as my next opponent. I promised my stable I'm going to go 2-0 under their management and I intend to keep my promise. Shouldn't be too hard...after all, Blondie here has lost her last 4 fights....seems like her boxing career, if you can even call it that, is on a downward spiral, kinda like her acting career." Dakota frowns looking upset by Emma's insults for a moment, as Emma grins at her as if it to say "that's right bytch!" A second later however, Dakota bursts into laughter - "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Bytch you're 1-4! You won ONE fight and already talking so much sh*t? And speaking of acting careers...how does it feel to be the least relevant of all the Emmas? I'm sure its a pretty horr.." The smug look on Emma's face disappears immediately as Dakota seems to have hit a sensitive spot. The now enraged Roberts picks up a glass of water and tosses it right into Dakota's face, the water hitting her face mid-sentence. Dakota wipes the water from her face as it drips onto her blouse, before she snarls and slaps Emma with a cracking right. Suddenly the girls are hair pulling and fall onto one of the tables they were sitting at moments before, the pitcher full of water tipping over and spilling over with both rolling in the water. After they are separated by security; their soaked blouses are torn open by the other to show their bras, the future fighters are glaring at each other as they get dragged off the stage. Fight night; out comes Emma with her coach Kristanna Loken, she is wearing a pink sports bra, white yoga pants with "Roberts" written in pink up the right leg and "Dollhouse" up the left leg in pink, finishing her look with pink gloves and shoes. Heading to the ring, she is banging her gloves together as she gets into the zone to beat Dakota, her eyes are focused squarely on the ring as she goes. Stepping into the ring; she heads straight over to her corner, practicing her punches on the top turnbuckle pad, before turning around and starting to stretch. Now out comes Dakota, she is wearing a black sports bra, yoga pants with white strips down the sides, blue gloves and shoes. Nodding to the crowd as she heads to the ring, once she gets to the bottom of the ring steps, her eyes lock onto her opponent's before she jogs up the steps and gets into the ring. Getting to her corner, Dakota limbers up but her gaze keeps going towards Emma, an intense look on her face as she really wants to batter her for the incident at the press event. Brought to the ring centre; the girls square right up to each other, staring each other down as the referee stands nearby as he goes through his instructions. There's no incident here luckily for him but when asked to touch gloves, the girls turn their backs on each other and head to their corners. As soon as they reach their corners, the referee nods to the timekeeper to ring the bell to start 10 rounds of flyweight action.
Round 1: Out come the fighters, both light on their toes by the looks of it, Emma though shows her aggressive side straight from the off. After trading a few jabs with Dakota, she ducks under a straight and rushes inside to bash the body of her fellow blonde with piston like rights and lefts. Dakota shoves Emma back, Emma though keeps on her with the younger fighter being pinned behind her guard as Roberts pounds away at her. A straight stings the abs of Dakota, who lands a left cross of her own to push Emma back a step, allowing her to trade with the smaller fighter at a better range for her. It's not long though till Emma parries a left aimed at her head, coming back on the inside as she is clearly wanting to take the body out of Fanning, digging her fists into the abs of her opponent. Dakota stuck on the defensive as she is being swarmed by Emma, the Dollhouse corner looking excited as she pushes Fanning onto the ropes. The bell rings with Emma strutting back to her corner, arms up in the air as she clearly believes she has Dakota on a string and it's hard to argue that. Dakota looking understandably upset at herself, her coach telling her "walk it off! She caught you cold but I can see the fire in your eyes, use it to burn her"
Round 2: Out come the fighters with Emma looking to keep the pressure on her opponent, the fighters trading at midrange as Dakota moves back and Emma stalks her. A missed right by Emma opens her up though to a counter strike onto the top of her head, Dakota looking like she is starting to get some rhythm as she counters Emma coming in with her longer reach. Emma manages to land a left to the ribs of Dakota, she takes a clipping right across the top of her head and a left spikes her on the nose. Now Dakota pounds Emma back behind her guard, forcing her to retreat as Fanning can be heard grunting with effort to try and break down her opponent. The smaller fighters footwork though allows her to get out of trouble and as Dakota goes for a right hook, Emma dips down and comes back up with an overhand right that pushes Dakota onto her heels. With the round heading to it's conclusion; Emma is starting to get her pounding punches landing on Dakota. But Dakota is throwing back; leading to a grandstand finish to this round till the bell rings and both girls snort at each other, before jogging back to their corners. Dakota looking more relaxed; knowing she has to be on the scoreboard as she stares across the ring at her opponent with a look of confidence.
Round 3: Now both are warmed up, the action starts becoming quicker; with the fighters trading more punches near the ring centre. Dakota using her reach advantage more now to keep Emma at arms length now, using good footwork herself to change angles and strike around the guard of Emma. Who is moving her head more to try and counter Fanning; it's Dakota though whose landing with the better punches, each digging into the face of Emma to knock her head back. A double jab snaps into the face of Emma, followed by a right cross that shoves her onto the back foot, with Dakota's eyes lighting up and she drives forwards with three more punches slamming into the gloves of the smaller girl. It takes Emma's footwork to get her out of trouble again, dipping down again to make Fanning miss with a right cross and comes up with an uppercut that just misses. But it gets Dakota's attention as she steps back and Emma strikes with two straight punches to the body, she gets caught with one to her head to force the girls to separate. Late in the round as Dakota controls the pace with her reach, snapping the head of Roberts to drive her back towards the ropes. Emma though uses a shoulder roll to deflect a right straight and snaps a right hook behind the ear of Fanning to knock her head to the side. The bell rings before she can do much more, with Emma looking a little frustrated; Kristanna working to keep her cool and collected, her eyes though are still burning with anger at being pushed around by Dakota.
Round 4: Again they both start off fighting with jabs and straights slamming into the others face, with Dakota starting stronger as she steps back to a safe range and lands the cleaner punches. That changes though as Emma slips past a straight and slams two hooks to both ribs of Dakota, who groans out and retreats back. Dakota manages to get several punches to land on the gloves of Emma to keep her back so she can reset herself. But Emma slams into Dakota with her left and slams two overhand rights into the face of the Twilight star to drive her onto the ropes. That leads to both slugging it out on the ropes, with Dakota forced to fight back to try to get herself off the ropes, a vicious looking right across her cheeks opens up a cut though. Leading to Dakota covering up as Emma pins her to the ropes with a barrage of punches, her target is back on the body; which is starting to redden up as Fanning gasps each time she is hit. Dakota needs the bell to ring so she can get off the ropes, Emma storming back to her corner surprisingly, only because she is annoyed the bell rung before she could end this. While Dakota rubs her body, her coach putting an ice pack on to numb the pain and her cut is tended too, the fight becoming close once again as these two throw everything at their opponent.
Round 5: Emma bristling to get started again, stalking Dakota back around the ring with her opponent on the defensive, throwing punches out of her guard. The Dollhouse star seems a little too keen as she throws a right hook that Dakota spots a mile off, after stepping back; Dakota lands a straight to the side of Roberts face as she misses. Dakota smartly doesn't let this chance go through her fingers, she lands a left cross over the guard of Emma and starts to drill her fists into the face of Emma now. The youngster gets Emma near the ropes, with Roberts covering up as tightly as she can while Fanning beats her around the guard to her face. Emma needing to clinch up as her face is swelling up, the girls almost topple over as they grapple onto the ropes, the referee rushing in to pull them apart. Once they are apart; Emma is quick to step back in and pushes Dakota back with two punches digging to the abs of the bigger girl, who groans and tries to open up space. As the round heads to the final minute, both are struggling to take control of this fight, fighting hard in tight to try to force each other back. Dakota takes a straight to her nose and a left cracks her chin, she stumbles back and Emma is right at her pumping those fists into the abs. The bell rings before Emma can do much more though, she bangs her gloves together as she jogs to her corner, getting annoyed that she can't put this stubborn opponent down. Dakota needing to get cleaned up, she is looking at her coach for a way to slow down Emma, he though is focused on sorting her out so she can be fully ready for this run to the end of the fight.
Round 6: Out come the fighters, Dakota is visibly slowing down as Emma pounds away at her guard from the off, forcing Fanning to retreat to space and fight out her guard. Dakota looks to land a straight that Emma parries, with the little blonde stepping inside to bang an uppercut that knocks Dakota's head back. The youngster is being driven backwards as Emma slams punches into the face of Fanning to make her yelp and step back. Dakota needs to clinch up as she is just being beaten back, Emma desperate to break free, but it's the referee that ends up stepping in to break them up. Once separated; Dakota does manage to get her jab working, desperate to hold Emma off her as she tries to recover. Dakota lands a straight onto the nose of Emma, as she tries to follow up with a left and gets caught with an overhand right on that cut, making Dakota scream out in pain. That leads to Emma powering Dakota onto the ropes, beating her with a flurry of punches that is really hurting the youngster. The round ends with Emma giving Dakota a shove and glares at her; almost telling her to get out the ring as she is bullying her younger opponent. Back in their corners; Dakota has her head down, with her coach needing to try to keep her spirits high, especially as he washes her bloody face. Round 7: Emma pushes herself out of her corner, one thing on her mind as she hunts a still wounded looking Dakota around the ring. A right pierces the guard of Dakota onto her nose and opens her guard up, EMMA SLAMMING A LEFT HOOK TO WOBBLE DAKOTA AND AN UPPERCUT PUTS DAKOTA GOES DOWN ONTO HER BACK! The referee begins counting 1...2...3...4.. Dakota groaning and holding her head 5...6...7.. She is barely moving though as she has her eyes shut 8...9...10 the ref waving the fight is over!
Winner Emma Roberts KO Round 7
After: Emma climbs up the ropes in the corner to celebrate, her fists in the air as she grins like a Cheshire cat that just got the cream, a big win on her rebuild of her career. Kristanna patting her on the back after she jumps off the rope and moves to her own corner, Emma getting cleaned up and a quick drink. While Dakota is checked over by the doctor, Emma can be heard laughing with Kristanna and saying "she wondered why I wanted to fight her! Maybe that thick skull of hers will know now" Dakota is helped over to her stool and her bloody face is cleaned up, she looks depressed that she lost again after starting her career off so well, now she is in a slump and she doesn't seem to see a way out. It isn't helped as Emma gloats over her "do you get it now! You don't belong in here with me and you can watch me head up the rankings as you stay in the gutter" Dakota's coach waves Emma off and helps his fighter out the ring, wanting to get her out the firing line as the winner just laughs at her. Emma gets her hand raised soon enough, big things in her mind as she hopes Avril is watching for intrastable bragging rights. She soon leaves the ring, telling Kristanna "I'll have to ask Carmen when we get back whose next on my diary as I am loving proving I belong in here" with Loken smiling warmly, enjoying the aggressive part of Emma tonight. That side might be what gets Emma up the rankings and into the elites, it is still too early to tell but she certainly has the confidence for the job.
