Part 1: Rhiannon Fish vs Leah Perkins
This was the main event of the Dubai beach boxing card, which had one of the more interesting build ups to say the least, how many times have we seen a fighters sister cause trouble with her sisters opponent before a fight?
Mimi Perkins who will mention more due to her fighting before this fight, got into it with Rhiannon before the Lioness Club fighter could even get to ringside to tell the press what she would do to Leah, let's say Rhiannon was fired up after a little slapping exchange with Miss Perkins.
What was on Leah's mind during all this? Well she kept quiet as even before the opening bell her sister was still having a go at Fish, I have to be honest I expected security to take Mimi away from ringside the way things were going.
Anyway to the action inside the ring, Leah came out the blocks faster then her older opponent, drilling back Rhiannon to the outside of the ring, she outworked Fish over the first two rounds.
Getting into gear, Rhiannon finally showed off her skills in the third, jabbing through the guard of Leah to snap back her head, before switching to the body when she got in closer.
Leah didn't seem to able to match Rhiannon, with the twenty year old showed frustration as she kicked up sand, leaving her guard too open for her coaches liking as they were seen shaking their head.
In the sixth round Rhiannon overstretched herself trying to finish the fight, Leah slipped her and paid her back with some nasty counter punches to get herself back into control.
As they got to the late stages of the fight, Leah's youth started to come through, all her work was worth it as Rhiannon got pounded down to the sand in the ninth.
Rhiannon did get up at eight but she was too hurt to really fight back, an uppercut ended the bout for her as she toppled down to her back, the referee didn't need to count as Rhiannon looked like sleeping beauty come to life.
This was an impressive win for Leah, Rhiannon isn't an easy person to beat, though of course she has plenty to work on, her temper nearly cost her the fight through the middle rounds.
She looks a great prospect though, a mix of good speed and power, she wasn't afraid to get stuck in and that is a big thing for rookies in celebrity boxing.
While Rhiannon will be gutted that she lost, maybe getting clipped by Leah's head in the sixth caused her issues we didn't know about, the one excuse she can have is about Mimi, I wonder how long it will be before those two go at it to settle their growing grudge.

Part 2: Lara Bingle vs Mimi Perkins
Before the main event and the trouble Mimi got herself into with Rhiannon Fish, she had to fight Lara, who was still looking for her first ever win.
The build up saw Leah and Mimi exchange insults, Mimi was in a party mood for her upcoming birthday, seemingly seeing Leah as a roadblock to that.
Leah of course wouldn't take that laying down, taking the fight to Mimi in the first round, she'd said she was going to knock out Mimi to give her a headache that wasn't from booze.
Back came Mimi the next round, cracking Leah across the face with some hard cross punches, only a clash of heads with less of thirty seconds to go slowed down her.
The first big moment of the came as Lara got put onto her bum from a body shot, she did enough to survive the rest of the round mostly due to Mimi being too keen to finish things to set up her punches.
It didn't seem to hurt Lara too much as she came back to try to knock back Mimi, both landing to the others face as they became a bit too predictable, looking like they wanted to smash the others beautiful face in.
The fifth round Mimi finally got the big punch she was looking for, smacking Leah across her mouth, before landing two uppercuts finally sent Bingle down to the sand, Lara tried to get up but was too dizzy to do so.
Now before I praise Mimi for getting the win, it has to be said before she got the victory, in the fourth Mimi got a warning from the referee when she tried to knee Leah between the legs, she will need yo control her temper if she is to become an elite fighter.
Before she thinks I am ragging on her too much, I think she has some good power and isn't a bad technical boxer, she got too sloppy at times in this fight though when she let her temper control her.
Meanwhile Leah showed some of her skills, if she ever tightened her guard she could be more trouble for opponents, as it is she won't make much headway towards being a journey woman as it is right now.

Part 3: Federica Nargi vs Rochelle Humes
This was the main event of the beach boxing card in Italy, Federica after beating Christine Bleakley in her last fight a month ago, she got the attention of former BBU lightweight champion Rochelle Humes, who wanted to test herself against the fast rising Italian stunner.
Obviously you have lots of eyes on you as you fight in front of your home fans, after events lately with national champion Elisabetta Canalis losing in the European Cup tournament in the FCBA and Elisabetta Gregoraci losing her last fight, Federica could move out their shadow to be seen as the number one in Italy.
Rochelle of course didn't want to let them happen, letting it be known across her social media that Federica would come crashing down, with Rochelle being the one to rise back up into contender ship status.
This fight proved to be a tale of two fighters alright, Rochelle came out the gates fast in the opening round, till Federica was able to start landing back to make it a close fought opener.
After that though Rochelle didn't rely enough on her impressive jab, seemingly focused on using her power to make a statement, Rochelle just wasn't landing clean enough to really trouble Federica.
Who was simply outworking Rochelle, battering back the former champion round after round, only the fourth round did Federica look in trouble as Humes finally started to put her punches together in impressive fashion.
But several wide punches in the fifth left Rochelle open to beautiful counter punches, sending her down first to her back after a beautiful right landed square on her chin, while Rochelle got up at eight, the beating she took after was mercifully ended by two brutal uppercuts to the chin that put Rochelle down for the count.
This was the biggest win of Federica's career, taking the scalp of a former champion is one thing, doing it in such a dominant display is something that gets your name on the top of headlines.
It will be interesting to see where Federica goes next, she could try to claim national honours against Canalis someday soon, maybe she has her eyes on bigger fish around the world with the run she is on.
Rochelle meanwhile is still a top fighter, this result looks terrible for her but I can see her dusting herself off, coming back strong against anyone who takes her lightly.

Final Part: Anne Vyalitsina vs Raven Lyn
For you Sports Illustrated fans we had a derby fight for you last night, the fact it was a Russian/American battle on Independence Day probably got more eyes on it from an American stand point.
Raven certainly seemed confident she wouldn't embarrass herself on a national holiday, telling the press before the fight she was going to batter Anna's lights out with her punching power.
Which got a few laughs from Anna, but the Russian certainly wasn't laughing as the fighters come nose to nose before the fight, plenty of ill feeling seemingly made on photoshoot sets was visible for the world to see.
While Anna had laughed off that power of Raven's before the bell, once she started to get tagged on the chin from that opening bell, she was probably regretting taking it lightly.
Raven knocked down Anna with a minute to go with a perfect left hook to the nose, Anna's toughness shouldn't be questioned as she beat the count, her expression though showed she was worried for the next round.
Though there was improvement from the Russian in round two, she started to come back at Raven with a few sneaky punches across the breasts of Lyn, making Raven hiss out as she started to motor forwards.
Late in that round though the beating started again, Anna's eyes went wide when she got caught with a liver shot, maybe questioning her decision to take this fight as she sat on her stool looking befuddled by what she was facing.
Back to action in the third, Raven kept cleaning the clock of her opponent, battering her across the face till a right hook to the temple sent Anna down to the sand for the count.
This was simply an arse kicking from nearly bell to bell, Raven looked supreme here and any doubt after her loss in her debut, those will be forgotten after this result.
Though Anna has to blame herself for being so keen to get back into the ring so soon after fighting another hard hitter not long ago, Elisabetta Gregoraci lost to Anna only a few short weeks ago, she took something out of the legs of Anna before this fight, though how much that was only she knows for sure.
I will be watching closely where both fighters go, I wouldn't write off either fighter yet, with both being rookies, fact Raven has that power though makes her in my eyes a better prospect for the future.
That's all we have time for folks, I hope you enjoyed this weeks episode, we hope to see you next Sunday for the next edition, thank you so much for taking your time to read these posts, remember to keep yourself safe.

Look - you beat me in our fight, and you beat me with some ease, so I guess you had the right to have me kiss your feet, but crushing me into the sand wasn't nice Only Taylor Swift and Katy Perry have ever done a better job on me But I'm still hotter than you  |
