Part 1: Rochelle Humes vs Rachel Riley This was the main event from the latest BBU card, while Rochelle's sister Sophie is on Love Island, she was getting in the ring against the skillful Rachel in on paper a great fight.
Rachel has moved up to lightweight over the past year after being at bantamweight, the Beever's Babes seem to believe that the extra weight should add a bigger bang to her punches.
There wasn't much animosity coming into this fight as Rachel was her normal humble self, Rochelle more confident looking just looking at their mannerisms.
The difference in class at this weight was on show early though, Rachel was getting hit too cleanly by the longer reach of Rochelle, her face taking the brunt of attacks.
Leading to her being knocked down twice in the second round, blood ran from the nose of the Countdown star but gamely she kept on trying to fight, landing only a few good punches though compared to the power punches she was getting hit back with.
The third round saw the end of this brutal one sided fight, Rochelle put down Rachel twice again, the referee should have waved the fight off after the third knockdown, their indecision left her to be put out cold by a nasty uppercut.
Thankfully we can report that Rachel wasn't badly hurt, she'll need a week at least to recover in bed, she was responsive after being stretched to the back.
Rochelle on the other hand is already talking a second fight with Alessandra Ambrosio for the BBU lightweight title; while this was dominant, she'll need to get on another run before she can force her way back into that picture, this was a hell of a start though to that goal.

Part 2: Jorgie Porter vs Vanessa Hudgens This was an interesting fight when it was first announced, Vanessa is still young in her career, looking to make a statement since coming to the BBU, rumours are the Double A stable is looking at her as a new signing to boost their ranks.
Across from her in this fight was the lovely Jorgie, I have to admit she is a favourite in the Real View offices to watch in the ring, you know you are gonna see an action pack fight with finesse involved from the all round fighter.
While neither said much in the build up, the stare down at the weigh in told you much about the others feeling for their opponent, this was never going to be a friendly fight between them.
It was an exciting opening round, first Jorgie lit up Vanessa with some nasty right hooks, back came the Canadian though with some brutal body shots, I had it a very close round to call since both have success.
After that though Jorgie was getting beaten back by the ferocious body punching of Vanessa, Jorgie was put down in the second after Vanessa set up a hook with a flush liver shot that looked like it would end the fight.
But Jorgie got up and made it to round three, her guard though has dropped as those body shots seemed to do the trick, the right cross that landed on the button was the one that ended the fight, giving Vanessa a highlight knockout to add to her record.
Afterwards Vanessa would humiliate Jorgie, even going as far to pose with her right foot on the back of the beaten woman, while flexing her arms to the cameras.
Jorgie looked really vulnerable for the first time in her career, hopefully she isn't going out her prime after failing to fulfil her potential, this was an ominous beating though that raises questions.
Vanessa on the other hand might have just booked a ticket off of free agency, I heard one pundit claim she is like a young Lisa Maffia, if she is half as successful as hall of famer Lisa then boy someone is getting a hell of a signing!

Part 3: Catherine Tyldesley vs Ilary Blasi This was a tune up fight for Catherine on paper, she has recently signed for Frankie's Foxes, a stable with a reputation let's say for liking blondes, well their manager does anyway.
Catherine's last fight was a competitive one with the former welterweight champion Joan Smalls from her old stable Girls Friday, several pundits wondered how much is left in her tank after that one.
Facing her was Ilary; who is a good technical fighter and has some good knockouts, but hasn't been active the past few years and doesn't have the greatest of records, making this an uphill struggle for her in everyone's eyes.
Something that was reinforced when the fight begun, while neither came out the gates quickly, Catherine took control of the mid point of the opening round with crisp punches between the gloves of the Italian.
Who gamely fought Catherine, body shots in the second round seemed to take some of the starch out of her, Ilary getting beaten back and only Catherine's impatience allowed her to not get knocked spark out then and there.
Instead that happened in the third after a brutal right hook sent Ilary's gumshield flying and her tumbling to the canvas clean knocked out in devastating fashion.
Thankfully Ilary showed her toughness to be able to stand once she came around, the fact her legs were shaky as she headed up the ring though showed how hard she had been hit.
Catherine we hear is getting up for a hard test with Damaris Lewis, who herself will be in America in a few weeks to take on Khloe Kardashian.
That should be a hard hitting war between the two, with the winner having plenty of options going forwards, the loser though could be shut off from big fights for the rest of the year, high stakes and a big reward.

Final Part: Amanda Clapham vs Charlotte Crosby Both these stunners are very similar in builds and personalities, meaning it was destined to be a hard hitting contest when they met inside the ring.
To add to the importance of this fight for both women, Amanda was entering her second fight wanting to show she could step up in competition quickly, Charlotte on the other hand had just been signed by the Frankie's Foxes stable, meaning plenty of pride was on the line here.
As expected this was a hell of a scrap, not much on the technical side early as they just stepped in looking to batter their rival into a mess, once they settled down somewhat and threw with more accuracy, boy did it turn into a war.
Charlotte took the first two rounds comfortably as she kept hurting the rookie, it looked like Amanda had stepped up too quickly as she was sent crashing down in round two.
The gut check for Amanda was on show here, Charlotte came in hard for the third round, Amanda caught her out with some nice hooks and when she worked the body of Crosby, she had the Mackem on the back foot.
A cut above the left eye of Charlotte looked bad, Amanda was like a sniper the way she kept picking it off in the fourth round, sending Charlotte down for an eight count with a right hook of her own.
The referee had to stop the fight in the fifth as Charlotte tried to fight on after being put down again, was too obviously hurt and Amanda gets an impressive second win under her belt.
This fight showed if you want to beat both women, you need to shove them onto the back foot, neither looked to have a strong enough defence to be able to work in reverse.
Charlotte looked great early on, her rushing in to finish the fight as quickly though led to her demise in his fight, picking the right shots and timing is something she needs to work on.
While Amanda kept eating right hooks as if they were going for free, she needs to keep that left glove tighter to her face, along with more head movement if she is to become an elite fighter.
