Part 1: BBU bantamweight title fight The main event of the latest BBU PPV saw Helen Flanagan look to take back her BBU bantamweight title, in her path was one of the hardest working champions in BBU history in Katie McGrath.
It has to be said 2018 was finally the year Helen finally broke out as an elite fighter, for what seemed like too long she never achieved her potential so many saw in her, if not for Doda then Helen very well might have still been champion right now.
But we have Katie now as champion, since beating Doda two months ago; already she has made a defence before this one, beating the BBU flyweight champion in a super fight, one that a lot of people believe makes Katie the defacto pound for pound ruler of the BBU.
There seemed respect between the two women before the bell, though understandably with the title on the line, neither was going to hold back anything when the goal of leaving with the gold is the most important thing.
This was a great back and forth war; Katie took the opening round with a quick fire attack, striking a cold tense looking Helen, backing her up around the ring with pressure being her biggest weapon.
Helen came firing back in the second, bashing Katie to the body as she used her compact look to drive her way inside to work, keeping the champ on the back foot.
The next two rounds were very similar; one woman would bash the other around the ring after a crafty adjustment to their tactics, then the other would come firing back to even things up.
In a fiery fifth round it looked like Helen had finally found a rhythm to control the fight, till in the sixth Katie unleashed an uppercut that hurt Helen, more uppercuts came ripping through the former champs guard till she collapsed to the canvas knocked out cold.
This was another marque win for Katie, who has went from underdog to a truly elite fighter, with gutsy performances like this she will continue to be hard to beat.
Helen meanwhile shouldn't beat herself up too much over this defeat, she gave Katie a very hard time through those middle rounds, one mistake was all it took though to mess up her chances.

Part 2: BBU welterweight title fight The BBU welterweight title was on the line, "Big" Bo Krsmanovic has really found her groove this year, winning the Contender 6 tournament and using that to claim the gold in a hard fought title fight.
Her opponent was someone I know was upset they got overlooked for that tournament, Toni Garrn it seems wasn't a fan of Bo's before they even had set this fight up.
The first two rounds were all Toni, who started off with her speed on show, before surprising Bo in the second with a show of her power to send the Serbian fighter down to the canvas.
That success seemed to go to the head of Garrn though as she looked for the knockout to win the fight, instead Bo caught her with a hook that clearly hurt the German fighter.
After that point Bo started to rattle Toni repeatedly in heated exchanges, Toni had several good moments with her quickness.
But the turning point was a hard right hook sent Toni down to her side, she got up to continue, it was clear though that she was hurt as she leaked punches, a barrage put Toni down for the count.
So Bo retains her title in brutal style, while it was a terrible start for her, she showed the power that makes her so dangerous.
In future I see people like the ACB welterweight champion Jasinta Campbell coming to challenge her, maybe someone like Alice Goodwin could be wanting a shot at Bo.

Part 3: BBU flyweight title fight This was a rematch between Danielle Sharp and Diana Korkunkova, the first time around Danielle knocked out Diana in a hard fought fight.
Danielle of course hoped for the same result as the flyweight title was on the line, Diana had a bad result last month when she lost to Katie McGrath while trying to become a dual weight champion.
It looked like at the bell that Diana still had some mental fragility as she come out to fight, Danielle pushed the action with use of JMD experience to work the body and tits of the champ.
The first two rounds were comfortably on the side of Danielle, who looked like she was wanting to have the title placed around her waist before she had finished the job.
Diana showed off her talents after a rousing speech from her corner team, when she fought on she started to rely on her impressive speed, moving around her challenger before countering any mistakes from the trigger happy Sharp.
Who was able to win a round later with a few sneaky tricks so she could land her power shots, Diane did seem a little worried by that power.
All that went away in the sixth round saw Diana counter Danielle, putting her down with an uppercut that hurt the English lass, who got up but was knocked to the ropes and the referee rightly seen enough, stopping the fight, Diana keeping her title.
This was a good result for Diana, she got revenge on Danielle and kept her title with an impressive performance, though some of the bigger hitters of the division might take hope that Danielle did hurt the champ early on.
For Danielle; her undefeated streak is gone, now she will probably be wanting to be part of a stable war between her stable Page Three and This is Glamour.

Final Part: Lily Allen vs Maisie Williams These two have been making waves in the flyweight division the past two years, Lily nearly won the contender 6 tournament last year, ending up second in that but hasn't kicked on as I think most hoped from that.
While Maisie is having her break out year now, beating some good names on both sides of the Atlantic as her stable clearly see her as ready, after a few years of mostly training and having fighters against journey women.
It became clear in the build up these two women don't like each other, Lily saying she sees Maisie as some struck up brat, Maisie saw Lily as some clumsy fighter who needed to use power to overcome a lack of skill, harsh from both!
The opening two rounds were evenly fought, Maisie used speed to try to outbox Lily, who showed early on that she can box behind a stiff jab.
Problems for Allan though begun to show themselves the further the fight went on, Maisie was too elusive for her and anyone who has seen Lily fight knows she has a short temper.
It started to boil over and Maisie begun to pick her apart much more easier, till in the seventh round after Lily did have some success the round before, a beautifully timed liver shot put Lily to her knees and out for the count.
This was another big win for Maisie as she settles her stall out for title shots in the BBU and is working towards maybe one in the FCBA, she should maybe focus on one organization more, so far results show this is working for her.
Lily on the other hand looked confused by the speed she was facing, maybe Lily is starting to slow down too much, I still think with her raw power and toughness she is far from done yet, she needs to keep getting in the ring though to stay razor sharp.
That's all we have time for this week, we hope you enjoyed today's episode, thank you to everyone who took the time to read these posts and we hope to see you next Sunday for the next edition of the Real View.
