Part 1: Rose Byrne vs Lacey Turner This was the main event from the fourth set of fights in the Contender Six tournament, the most important fight in the tournament, with Alice Eve watching closely to see who come out on top.
As we'll discuss in the next part, Alice basically had to win her fight and hope Rose came out on top in this one, a win for Lacey meant the EastEnders actress could still win the title in the final round of fights whatever happened as long as she beat Alice in that fight.
Hopefully that is a quick explanation, the main point is both were despair for a win here, shown by their prefight comments as both vowed to come out with their arm raised in victory.
The opening round saw a taste of Rose's skills, she jabbed her way around the smaller Lacey, keeping the range mostly where she wanted her to the delight of her corner team.
After that Lacey was warmed up, looking supreme as she got to the inside, her body work as her past opponents will atest to is one of the best in the division.
She took the next two rounds with Rowe being bullied back, the smile on Turner's face showed how much she was enjoying being like a bulldozer through her opponent's guard.
Back came Rose though, using Lacey's aggression against her to land counter punches, like a hard uppercut that rocked back the English lass to her heels.
It turned into a test of willpower's, Lacey came back to win another round, but Rose opened a cut above the right eye of Turner in the sixth, which the ringside doctor was keen to check on.
In round seven it when the end came, Lacey was protective of the cut, which allowed Rose to find more holes in her guard, a nasty uppercut sent Lacey down for the count.
It was a great win for Rose, Lacey is a tough fighter, though that lack of speed for Turner seems to have caught up with her, she will probably blame the cut of course, Rose was getting on top of things before then though.

Part 2: Maya Jama vs Alice Eve As stated in part one of today's show, Alice had a chance to sew up the Contenders Six tournament title this year after Rose Byrne would go on to beat Lacey Turner later.
A loss though would be Alice in danger of throwing away the title on the home stretch, something that might have seemed a forgone conclusion considering who she was facing.
See Maya came into the tournament undefeated, two defeats in a row had meant though that her chances of taking the title had become nought, as with any competition like this, the chance to play spoiler while improving your record is always a fun proposition.
Straight away Maya showed she was here to win, bashing back Alice with a crisp jab into her face to score points and knock back the blonde to the outside of the ring, where she would keep her subdued most of the round.
The second looked like an upset was on the cards, Alice got caught with a right hook on her chin that sent her down to the canvas, the Beever's Babes corner smelt blood in the water for their fighter.
Maybe the defeats mixed with her still learning caused Maya problems with finishing the fight, she rushed her attacks, allowing the veteran to clear her head before mounting a counter attack.
Alice looking to finally be growing into the fight, with Maya trying to settle down her punches now the end of the fourth round, both landing crisp punches at this time.
But another mistake in the fifth spelt doom for Jama, she got hit with an overhand left that left her open for the uppercut that sent her down for the count, another bitter defeat for the young woman after she had victory in her grip.
This was another lesson for Maya, who has to be worried by her form so far, she has plenty of promise so no point writing her off by any stretch, these defeats though may be playing with her mindset going into the reminding fights, her corner team needs to work on that.
While it is official that Alice is the Contender Six tournament winner of twenty twenty, she has shown great boxing IQ as much as raw talent to come through the ranks to be the number one contender for the bantamweight title.
All that is left for Alice is to face Lacey Turner, who will be nightly disappointed by her own defeat, will Alice whether the storm that will most likely come from Lacey? As Tiffany Mulheron showed in the first of these tournaments, you can lose and win the title.

Part 3: Lottie Moss vs Samaria Regalado Going into this fight both women were stuck in the final two spots in the league table of the Contender Six tournament, Samaria with just one win compared to Lottie's none, plenty of pride was on the line in this one.
Coming into the fight that was on full show as they were in full trash talking mode, Lottie especially didn't want to join the ranks of Stephanie Davis and Jourdan Dunn by not winning a single fight in the tournament's history.
Stepping out their corners with their faces showing full focus, Lottie was the one who took the first round with her hand speed mixed with head movement allowing her to land cleaner of the two fighters.
A more aggressive Samaria come out for round two, her jab set up hooks that turned the head of Moss, allowing her to take the center of the ring.
Controlling things from that point onwards, Samaria was causing the cheeks of Lottie to swell up, Lottie's agent probably tearing their hair out as much as the corner team was for the blonde bombshell.
But Lottie never gave up, in the fourth late on she showed promise of a comeback, with the fifth seeing her dodge before hammering in counter punches around the jaw of Samaria.
Finally in the sixth the stage was set, both landing hard shots that I can tell you was sending sweat off into the crowd, a missed right by Samaria left her open to a picture perfect overhand left to the chin of Regalado to send her down for the count.
A great win for Lottie to hopefully for her begin to turn things around in her career, she showed promise coming into this tournament, these past few months though show that she maybe stepped up too soon in her young career.
Samaria on the other hand is showing promise herself, the hype seems real in that she has shown off impressive skills, the jump up from amateur to this level has been too big a jump, though her upsetting Lacey Turner has certainly given a talking point to her career already.

Final Part: One to watch: Zara Holland This week we focus on the former Miss GB who lost her crown for going on Love Island, in the boxing ring she might very well be on her way to becoming a Queen of the flyweights.
To think she actually made her debut back in 2016 at bantamweight, her only defeat so far coming against the tough as nails Charlotte Crosby, she worked out that maybe she was undersized for the weight and trimmed down in weight.
Her first flyweight fight came at the end of the year, she crushed Kara Tointon, a former flyweight champion as if she were nothing, fans got a taste of how ruthless the blonde bombshell could be.
Since then she defeated the likes of Ola Jordan, Maria Ozawa and Jorgie Porter, showing she is the real deal as contender in this division.
Her biggest win though came last year, facing off against the former BBU flyweight champion Cheryl Cole, it was a brutal back and forth, ending when the model knocked out Cole in the sixth round.
Afterwards she would beat Jennette McCurdy by seventh round stoppage to have nine wins in ten fights, surely not long till she is fighting for the title belt on this form.
This beauties mix of speed and brutal knockout power will give any other fighter in the flyweight division a headache, can she take that last step to glory? We don't see why not ourselves.
That's all we have time for this week, thank you to everyone who took the time to read these posts, we hope you enjoyed them, we will be back next Sunday morning with the next edition of the Real View.
