Part 1: BBU JMD title fight:
Rhian Sugden over this year has been putting in some great performances, to many it was a question of when she would get a title shot at Charlotte Church, finally she got it on Wednesday on the PPV.
Some questioned Charlotte's wiliness to fight Rhian, with some seeing the page 3 as maybe having all the tools to dethrone her, of course Charlotte disputed that fact in the build up, while Rhian played it up when claiming she'd bring the title home to it's rightful place.
When they stepped into the ring and came chest to chest as the referee went through the final instructions, you could feel the tense all around ringside coming from them, months of insults finally were going to be put aside for throwing fists.
From the opening bell you could tell this was going to be a war, both women went in hard on the inside, Charlotte took the first round after knocking back Rhian to the outside, out working the model for the remainder of a very exciting round.
Back came Rhian, showing she wasn't scared one bit of the champions power, badging Charlotte back as she kept in her face, so much so they clashed heads as they went at it like two bulls.
Charlotte landed some nasty looking body shots in the third, some were right on the waistband of Rhian's bottoms, there was a few close calls on their heads clashing again, with a few bumps with boobs from both proud women.
Again momentum switched a round later, Rhian seemed to be finding a way of giving Charlotte both barrels, uppercuts were the main weapon for both fighters, how their tops didn't come off with the pressure they were under I don't know.
Finally the deadlock was broken in the fifth, Charlotte landed a sweet left hook up top, opening the blonde up to a hell of a body assault, it ended with a liver punch on the money, Rhian went down to all fours and didn't have the strength to beat the count.
This was a great win for Charlotte, if anyone for doubts about her she answered them well and truly here with this win, taking the heat from Rhian head on and still found the answer to win.
Rhian shouldn't hang her head in shame at this result, she gave Charlotte a hell of a fight, this might be the best JMD rules fight of the year thanks to both women's efforts, I think Rhian could still be a JMD champion someday, this wasn't the right time for that.

Part 2: BBU JMDD title fight
With one win in the JMDD division Tamara Ecclestone suddenly caught the attention of the world, she defeated former BBU JMDD champion Holly Willoughby in dominant fashion.
One person who noticed was Kate Upton, the current BBU and FCBA JMDD champion gave Tamara a chance at taking the BBU title off her, if Tamara could beat her for it.
Though there seemed to be real malice between the two before a punch was thrown, Tamara basically claiming Kate was just all tits, Kate calling the challenger a spoilt little bytch.
Tamara definitely seemed set on trying to change that view point in the fight, using little nudges to keep Kate off balance in the opening round, unleashing her power punches to knock back the champion.
When Kate though got on top, Tamara seemed to keep going back into her shell, she looked like she wanted the fight to be fought on her terms, not on Kate's.
Using little tricks that I can tell you upset us at ringside, the fifth looked to be a major talking point when Tamara sneakily landed a knee between Kate's legs, she tried to pass it off as a left hook to the body, thankfully Kate made it up to her feet to beat the count.
While Tamara tried hard to finish it, Kate dug in and came back hard at Ecclestone, sending the challenger down to her back with a sweet hook, Tamara did fight her way to her feet, she also quit in the seventh when Kate was rampaging.
I don't usually talk about what happens after a fight, Tamara did deserve some punishment for trying to cheat, it was her cheating that led to her downfall as the referee spotting her second low blow gave Kate a timeout to recover, which spelt doom for Tamara's chances.
The worst bit is Tamara seems to a good fighter, she has good power in her punches, her desperation to win though cost her the title in the end.
While Kate continues her title reign, it will be interesting to see where she goes next, she is nicknamed the Queen and boy does she deserve it for the way she has run the JMDD division in two organizations.

Part 3: BBU flyweight title fight
Former BBU flyweight and JMD champion Gemma Merna looked to return to the mountain top, the question was at the PPV could she conquer one of the truly best flyweights in the world in Diana Korkunova?
The importance of winning a second title for Gemma was perfectly encapsulated by her mannerisms towards Diana, normally she is seen as a sweetheart unless pushed, well she wanted to make sure Diana knew where she stood in the build up to the fight.
For her part Diana seemed perplexed by what was happening, she is also a sweetheart and had never shown any disrespect to Gemma, the funny think is both women are very similar in personality, while nice if you push them they won't simply stand and take it.
Whether the champion took Gemma lightly in the opening rounds I don't know, but Diana was pushed around by the blonde, Gemma using her JMD experience to subdue Korkunova over the first three rounds.
Things took a worse turn for the champion when she got clocked down in the fourth, could it be a whitewash for Merna? Diana managed to stand up at a count of eight.
That knockdown lit a fire in Diana, who come flying back at Gemma, in the fifth Gemma suffered a shocking knockdown with a right hook landing flush on her chin.
It was an exciting slugfest after that, both letting their hands go on the inside, breasts especially took a moment a beating as they looked to knock their rival around the ring, finding themselves matched up with someone as equally impressive.
In the seventh Diana completed her comeback with several punches landing flush on Gemma's chin, an uppercut to the body was followed by a right hook across the chin of Merna to send her down for the count, Diana making another successful defense.
Diana now has eight defenses, by the sounds of the talk after the fight, she might be looking for new challenges it seems like JMD or going to the FCBA, whatever she decides to do she is a prodigy talent, I'd be afraid of standing in her wherever she goes next in her career.
Gemma meanwhile will be kicking herself, she summed it up perfectly in the built up that title shots don't grow on trees, at thirty five she is going to have to work hard to get back into contention, has she missed her last chance?

Final Part: Katie McGrath vs Lea Seydoux
This was the biggest fight beyond the title fights, two former champions, two elite fighters meeting for the first time to find out where the rank currently in the bantamweight division.
It is two years since Lea was a champion here in the BBU, her biggest win was dethroning the seemingly unstoppable Una Healy, she had a good run with the belt but after losing it she has had mixed results.
While Katie was the champion only last year, she has had a good run since then and this was another chance for her to prove she might be the best bantamweight outside of the champion.
They were very respectful before the fight, class recognizing class as they say, even the glove touch was respectful, though don't think they were going to hold back on each other.
The first round showed that, it was a great mix of power and speed shown by both, it was an evenly fought round that lit up the crowd I can tell you.
After that Lea reminded us what a hell of a counter punching she is, giving Katie a headache with her speed and boxing IQ, she took the second and third round comfortably as Katie couldn't react in time.
Realising what she needed to change, Katie got in closer to Lea, working the body to take some of the spring out the French stunners legs, herding her more to the ropes to the delight of her corner team.
The fifth round saw both come out strong, a cut above Lea's right eye though was the beginning of the end for her, she focused more on protecting it and paid for it with body shots that bent her over for a picture perfect left/right cross combo to the chin that knocked her out.
It has to be said that both women were still respectful after the final bell once Lea had woken up, showing that both women have true class beyond just boxing skills.
Lea could argue that because she hasn't fought as much as Katie that she was a little rusty, the talented French actress I believe can easily come back into contention, just right now she needs to build herself back up slowly.
While Katie might very well be in that number one slot to go for Alice Eve's bantamweight title, since coming to the BBU full time she has truly been a special talent, could an Irish woman be holding the bantamweight title again so soon?
Anyway that's all the time we have this week, we hope you enjoyed reading these posts, thank you so much for taking your time to do so, hopefully we see you next Sunday for the next edition of the Real View.
