Tom Hilton:
Hello ladies and gentlemen, the BBU seems to just get better with each passing week, making it easier for me to do my job and write up my views on the best weeks events.
So I will be starting with a preview on the Jennifer Hawkins vs Sayuki Matsumoto bout set for tonight, with it's massive implications for the BBU lightweight title.
Then of course I have to do the biggest story of the week, the Ryder cup (not golf) fights, which saw the debut of the beautiful Lily Aldridge fighting Liverpool's pride and joy Jennifer Ellision.
Afterwards it will be the Nadia Forde vs Emmy Rossum controversy from the same card, how much was it a screw job and how much the result deserved?
Lastly we will talk of another debut as the 39 year old Sophie Anderton fought Sarah Jayne Dunn for a possible Fight Club U.K spot with Katie Price watching.
As always I hope you guys love the show and I know I don't say it enough but thank you for watching, we are hoping to make some announcements either at the end of the month or in November itself that may interest people.

Part 1: Jennifer Hawkins vs Sayuki Matsumoto preview
Later tonight sees a battle that will help shape the foundations of the BBU lightweight division, as Jennifer Hawkins has the chance of a lifetime.
She is in Tokyo as part of the visitors in the latest Jewel card as always hosted by the wonderful Front Street Japan stable and if she beats Sayuki Matsumoto, she becomes the number one contender to Malika Menard's title.
To say it is a tall order is an understatement, Matsumoto has a record of 14 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw, add to that she is batting at a 93% KO rate to show you how deadly she is in the ring.
Jennifer Hawkins comes into the fight with a record of 5 wins with 5 by knockout and 5 losses, she is also the older by 2 years as she is 33 years old.
So you are asking "what chance does she have?" Right? Well the answer is that Jennifer is 5'11 to Sayuki's 5'7 3/4 in height.
If she can keep the distance at her range for the fight and pounds away at her hometown opponent, then Jennifer can pull the upset and go on to the negotiating table with Foxfire Atlantic's Stable manager Malvin Fox on a title bout.
But if she can't beat Matsumoto in the 10 rounds or she let's her get into her comfort zone, then the ride to the title will end right here.
I think with everything on the line, you are looking at a possible contender for fight of the year, if all the pieces fall into place.
That is if Hawkins doesn't freeze up and allows her opponent to dominant because as we have said, it will quickly become a short night for her if that happens.
I don't know what happens if Matsumoto wins; that is a question for the BBU committee and hopefully we find out if the result goes against Hawkins, if she wins then Malika Menard meet your second challenger.

Part 2: Jennifer Ellison vs Lily Aldridge
For anyone who isn't sold exactly on the BBU for their celeb boxing action, this past year has seen an influx of big names and some smaller admittedly to our rankings, of all those new girls, Lily may be the best of all them.
Now let me set the scene as to this main event in the BBU version of the Ryder cup between our European fighters and the American fighters.
It may seem an odd choice to put forward someone like Lily, who was on her debut against someone as experienced and has to be said violate Jennifer in the ring in a decider for the cup.
But over 5 rounds, Lily dismantled Jennifer with her range, speed and agility that has to have caught the eye of many a fighter within the BBU.
For her part, Jennifer tried to get stuck in but when her punches didn't land flush as she hoped, she seemed to get more desperate and surprisingly she looked the rookie of the two.
But it should be expected from Lily as she does Ballet and still plays football (soccer) when she gets the time from modeling and now boxing.
So of course she was going to be athletic in the ring and a handful for anyone in the lightweight and bantamweight division as her weight allows her to fight at both making her a versatile fighter.
For Jennifer I will have to see where she goes but she certainly isn't in a bad state of affairs because of this loss and could easily be back on the road to the top if she picks her fights carefully.
So another big debut in the land of the BBU and I certainly expect many more to come in the years to come boxing fans.

Part 3:Nadia Forde vs Emmy Rossum
Let me start by saying I am a fan of Nadia in the ring but this was hard to watch and became worst when the result came in and she was given the win!
Emmy had fought the fight of her life as she went toe to toe with the heavy slugger, she out boxed Forde in spells to the delight of her fan base and round 7 and 8 were basically a shut out for her.
But in the end she has to hold the wooden spoon and look around the crowd to what she could do to not cry at that moment.
Now I don't know if it was just to keep the event going as this was the second Ryder cup bout and for the record Azealia Banks gave Elle Goulding one hell of a beating in the first fight and for you managers, Banks is a free agent it seems!
Anyway if Nadia had lost, America would as it turned out had the clean sweep in the event but it went to a decider.
It's decisions like these that give judges a bad name, now I firmly believe this is a rare occasion and shouldn't be viewed as an Olympic style judging scandal.
But I hope there is a rematch between the two with a fresh set of judges and the fighters put on another incredible show because the tension in the air that night was incredible and a rematch would sell like hotcakes.
Just if you let Denise Van Outen and Erin Andrews be judges, make sure to put someone between them as their friendship could end if they are pick let's say bias and no one can stop them fighting it out.

Final part: Sarah Jayne Dunn vs Sophie AndertonSo while Lily Aldridge is a big name, Sophie isn't a massive name and is more famous for her run in the late nineties and early years of last decade. But her and Katie Price are friends from their modelling shoots together and it seems a space is opening up in the Fight Club U.K stable. That's what this fight was sold as, Sarah Jayne Dunn looks to be done with Double A as her place seems to be going to the talented Mrs Petersen and if she won here, she would get the spot in FCUK. But judging by her performance and history as a God awful jobber that my favourite verbal sparring partner Claire Cooper even beat her. So why you ask would Katie Price give her a chance to get in to her stable? Well simply it was a trap you could say. She was to be a punchbag for Sophie and she fit the bill so well, Claire Cooper must be thinking of fighting Sarah again if she gets white washed in the Hollyoaks super 6 tournament. Seriously it was an ass kicking from bell to bell till the knockout came in the fifth round to end the dreams of the blonde. It's hard to judge if Sophie at 39 can truly make a name for herself in celeb boxing especially as Sarah is the ultimate tomato can at this stage. But we have seen girls like Naomie Harris, Indria Weis etc turn up and go on an impressive run in what should be the twilight of careers but is the beginning. At the same time, if I was fans of the BBU, I would be watching each major stable in the BBU as moves are being made to change personal and we could be seeing the new breed of fighters find their place in for the older fighters. So we may have to do our own transfer bulletin as these changes happen in the next few months for 2017.
