(The Dollhouse vs Lioness Club)
(31-16, 31 KO vs 41-13, 41 KO)

Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: It's debatable whether Emma Roberts merely seeks Lioness payback after going down to Jessica Lowndes earlier this year or simply wants to take advantage of Cheryl Cole's lousy record at the Doll Ball PPV? The Geordie singer remains winless in two such attempts which date back to 2019 but she's in terrific form this season with only Emma Watson spoiling her perfect card.

"I don't care if she's 6-1 or 1-9 this year! If Avril and Katheryn beat her, I’m DEFINITELY beating her ass. I’m the best Dollhouse boxer and tonight I’ll continue to prove it to those that still doubting that fact." Emma claims she's the better woman outright after besting Hall of Famer Michelle Williams back in August. Meanwhile Cheryl wants to set the record straight and indicates Avril Lavigne is the real Dollhouse Alpha: "It's been a while since she scored a big hit song but Emma is a total creampuff compared to that punk witch! I know it, Jessica (Lowndes) knows it, hell, everyone knows it! Who are U kiddin' here, Miss Roberts?" the brunette giggles.

Emma Roberts wears a pink sports bra top, white knee-high leggins & pink gloves. Long dyed blonde hair wrapped in a braid. Cheryl Cole wears a leopard print bikini top & red gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a half-up ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.

Round 1:
Home crowd fuels Emma's high-octane start and she picks the singer off from both flanks while drilling her face up the middle. Cheryl usually tries to enforce her presence from the word go but she gets overrun with supreme wrath tonight and struggles to embrace the blonde's heat. A couple of nasty hooks on the mouth make her wince in pain and she's unable to swing back at the American at all. Meanwhile Emma clocks her from the inside and secures a good uppercut connection that snaps Cole's head back and sends her into a hectic retreat towards the ropes. Roberts keeps the pressure on and bangs another feisty double upstairs while ducking underneath a sluggish response and signs off a dominant round punching the brunette in the exposed midriff thereafter. Ugh! Chezza gives her a lenghty staredown at the bell but she has to pick it up from here.

Round 2:
Emma lands a couple of good hooks into the singer's face and instead of lashing out with more juice she begins to taunt the subdued opponent only to regret it almost immediately as Chezza whacks her over the top and nails her on the nose with a booming right hand. Action becomes hectic as both women lock each other in the vintage phone booth where punches fly thick & fast but worryingly for the home crowd Cheryl manages to outwork the actress and bangs her onto the ropes where another left/right combo slumps Roberts on jelly knees. Huh! More slugging menace makes her head rock back & forth until Cole tears a small gash under the left eye that finally forces the aching blonde to apply a clinching stalemate.

Round 3:
Emma let Cheryl right back into this fight and struggles to embrace the slugging heat early in the third again. She sticks a couple of promising hooks on target but doesn't carry enough power to hold off a gung-ho reply as the Geordie tourist settles in her favorite game instead. Cole packs a mean punch from each side and works overspeed to back the American onto the ropes while Emma's response cuts thin air as she's unable to land all those head shots and bounces off the singer's high-guard more often. Cheryl eventually grinds the home favorite down and laces her in the navel before a brutal uppercut finds the jaw and drops the blonde into spasms. Another overhand shot shuts Roberts down for good and forces her to seek another clinching respite in the closing stages.

Round 4:
Dollhouse CEO/coach Carmen Electra doesn't like this situation at all and urges Emma to find that swarming edge as Cheryl just won't back off here unless she gets blown away on merit. Emma lets it rip in chaotic style but gets a lucky break as she smacks the brunette on the nose and wobbles her with a jug-to-jug bumper before blowing a left hook on the mouth. Ugh! Cole rolls down the curtains and almost hits the deck only to recover at the last second. However she drops on her heels and has a hard time fending off a point-blank range smash that allows Roberts to assume command and pound the Geordie tourist back to the ropes where it's Chezza that seeks a clinching respite. Emma has none of that and bangs more body shots to keep the singer honest before a left hook slumps Cheryl on the turnbuckle right at the bell. Game on!

Round 5:
Both women regain the slugging bug and punish each other from both flanks in the center of the ring! This is all guns blazing vintage flyweight bash that has the crowd on their feet but suddenly the noise hits a speed bump as Roberts gets crippled by a wild hook on the temple that sends her tripping back onto the ropes. Ugh! Cheryl leaps after her and bangs a right cross on the nose before driving another bomb on the chest that makes the blonde cry out in pain. "Want more, pet?", Chezza doubles down on the pounce and lands a vicious left/right combo on the solar plexus that DROPS ROBERTS ONTO HER BACKSIDE!!! Uh-oh!!! That was a swift delivery from the Geordie tourist who taunts Carmen Electra & Kristanna Loken in the Dollhouse corner. Is Roberts really finished her? Hell no! Can't lose to someone who lost to Avril Lavigne before! Emma gets a favorable count but she's up at nine... no gimme and says "F### it!" into the referee's face before trying to measure her response as Cole jumps into a high-gear in order to knock her out. More flyweight extravaganza on display as Chezza smacks heavy leather upstairs but just can't finish the seemingly wounded opponent off! Before she tries her chances downstairs, Emma has her covered and triggers a lenghty wrestling stalemate on the ropes to see out the clock.

Round 6:
Cheryl seeks the aerial bomb even though coach Eva Mendes told her to work the blonde to the body and grind her out into exhaustion. Emma weaves away from initial danger before looping the counter-punching response as the brunette's attacks become too predictable down the stretch. What can possibly go wrong here? How about a booming right hand on the nose that stuffs Chezza half-way through the round and slumps her into spasms before Emma adds a belting shot on the liver area that folds the hitherto aggresive Geordie lass into checkdown mode. Cole refuses to back off wholesale but struggles to follow through with her efforts and gets pounded over the top when the American lands a nifty combo on the nose again. Cheryl jumps forward and tries one last time to make sure she keeps the pressure on but meets a nasty right cross on the nose and slumps forward to meet a chin-checking power punch that lifts her off the canvas and SENDS CRASHING INTO THE TURNBUCKLE before she simply collapses down in the corner with her eyes closed!!! Uh-oh! Where did that come from? Emma acts like she hurt her wrist with that last delivery but it doesn't matter since Cheryl remains motionless during the count! She opens her eyes at six and only recovers to all fours when the ref shouts "TEN!!!" into her face. KO6 Emma Roberts in come-from-behind fashion!!!

Official Result: Emma Roberts def. Cheryl Cole KO6.

AFTER:
The Doll Ball misery for Cheryl Cole continues! She drops to 0-3 on the Dollhouse showpiece event and one might wonder if Lauren Mayberry finally comes out of hiding to complete the set anytime soon? Emma acts tough even with her wrist apparently hurting and shouts at Eva Mendes in the Lioness corner: "We still own your lame BBU champ! Tell that f*cking lucky b*tch Jessica she’s RIGHT at the top of my hit-list. I WILL get her eventually."

Cheryl is fortunate to avoid structural damage but her pride took a nasty hit tonight. She beat Danielle Campbell few days ago to claim the unofficial best flyweight never to win a lineal FCBA title status only to fall to a seemingly superior woman who is yet to taste silverware herself. They build 'em tough in Tyneside but BLONDE! Magazine reckons these Dollhouse flyweights are simply better than the Geordie singer right now!
