Part 1: Kimberley Walsh vs Jesy Nelson
It's funny how time really does affect us, Kimberley Walsh was at one time a real contender for a BBU title, she matched up with top fighters in brilliant fights, now she fought someone with zero wins to their name as she tries to piece back together her career.
Jesy on the other hand has been the Little Mix star whose had the hardest time of that girl group, not just with wins but with issues in her personal life, she has had to face down trolls and so much over her young life.
Both women understandably set their stalls out that this was the fight where things were going to change for them, Kimberley would prove her doubters wrong that she still has it, Jesy would prove she can win in the ring.
At the opening bell both women come out their corners with a spirited effort, if not a particularly success spell of punches, Kimberley started to put her punches together to push back Nelson to the delight of her corner crew.
Back came Jesy strong in round two and three, again there was plenty of scruffy action as the fighters clashed heads twice more, at times the fight resembled a bar room brawl then a boxing match, Jesy though was winning the slugging exchanges.
Kimberley didn't simply sit back though, sneaking in some punches across the impressive tits of Nelson, she started to remind everyone what she could do when motivated.
Again though Jesy just seemed to have the extra juice to buzz the Girls Aloud star, Kimberley was getting clocked too cleanly, before we knew it she was sat on her backside by an uppercut in the sixth, Jesy's bandmates went wild with joy for her.
While Walsh did get up with a death stare for the Little Mix group, shockingly she was hammered back so badly the referee had to step in to stop the beating, Jesy won her first fight ever in the boxing ring!
This was a massive upset on paper due to Jesy's record, though you have to question Kimberley now, is she taken too much punishment to be in the ring, this was a damning loss from Walsh.
For Jesy we wish her congratulations on the win, proof that if you keep working hard that you can win, I won't put the bunting up to tell the world that Jesy will have a Lucy Hale style run to a title, but she might surprise a few more now she has confidence.

Part 2: Nicola Roberts vs Amanda Clapham
Steadily over the last year Amanda has been building her résumé up, beating the likes of Charlotte Crosby and just last month Kimberley Walsh, it was the result against Kimberley that set in motion this fight.
Nicola was sent out to get revenge on Clapham, with the young blonde fighter wanting to prove herself against a good foe, coach Gail Kim didn't seem so sure about Nicola really being an upgrade on her opponents so far.
Well that might have spurred on the redhead, who took the fight to Amanda in the opening three minutes, there was a little hint of shock on the actresses face as she returned to her corner after a bit of a shackling.
In Gail's eyes normal service was resumed in the second as Amanda looks the better fighter in a slugfest, knocking back the historically feather fisted Roberts, who has relied on her speed and technique to win.
That showed itself as the rounds ticked away, for all her impressive record, Amanda couldn't seem to find a real answer to the problem presented by Nicola's boxing skills.
Keeping Clapham at arms length, Nicola made the younger fighter miss, while also working the body with picture perfect punches to really drive the air our the body of Amanda, who looked more desperate as the fight went on.
Finally in the sixth that wearing down tactic of Roberts paid off, catching Amanda coming with an uppercut, several punches finally sent Amanda down to the canvas, where she simply didn't have the strength to get up.
If this was due to Amanda taking Nicola lightly, then welcome to the school of hard knocks Miss Clapham because she got a harsh lesson here from a very capable operator, while Nicola won't knock you out in one punch, she can out box you all night long when she gets going.
I still see potential in Amanda, this was a set back though as it is back to the drawing board for her, more learning fights needed to get rid of her back habits, allow her to get rounds in and hopefully add to her boxing skills as slugging will only get her so far.
For Nicola this was a great reminder for other fighters not to sleep on her, Nicola has always been the bridesmaid type fighter, if she can get some more juice behind her punches, she'd be undoubtedly an elite talent.

Part 3: Alina Vacariu vs Micaela Schaefer
Over the past twelve months the Romanian Invasion stable has been slowly creating a presence in the BBU, with fighters like Alina seeming to take the lead on that with some good wins in the BBU, while also venturing to the FCBA for a short run in the European Cup tournament.
Micaela on the other hand has never reached the heights her let's say media presence would let on, her wild antics get people to tune into her fights, but she has never been dangerous in the ring.
So it was expected to be an easy night for Alina as they stepped into the ring, Micaela staring daggers at her opponent as they touched gloves to show in her mind she was there for a fight and not to be a punching bag.
In the opening two rounds Micaela started off looking in good shape, pushing the pace with more punches then her opponent was throwing, till Alina would come to life enough to rock back the German fighter.
By round three Micaela was starting to look a little wary as she couldn't dissect the guard of her opponent, instead steadily taking more punches as Alina seemed to be almost toying with her.
That all changed in the fourth when it felt like Alina had sprung into life, bashing Micaela with some nasty hooks, a left hook sent Schaefer onto her backside with a look that said "where did that come from?" She did beat the count at eight.
Simply allowing Alina to punish her even more, with a flurry of punches seems smashing the face of Micaela back, Schaefer was down again and this time she didn't have the where with all to get back to her feet before the count got to ten.
Micaela as usual was there as a punch bag for a shark in the division, Alina could have seemingly ended the fight earlier but she took her time, got rounds under her belt, though there is a debate whether it is better to blast out cannon fodder or to do as Alina did, she never really got out of first gear till the fourth, time will tell if that was wise.
It looks like the Spanish model Melana Costa wants a go at Alina, that would be an interesting test for the Romanian beauty, she wouldn't be able to coast in that fight to victory that is for sure.

Final Part: Inna vs Zoe Lister
These two have had interesting careers; first let's discuss Inna, the beautiful singer has been one of the biggest questions in the BBU, one minute she looks a champion in waiting, the next she is being beaten badly by people on record she should beat, it seems like she fights to her opponents level at times.
With the Romanian invasion having her as their center piece fighter, it is understandably that she is expected to lead their flyweight corps, but even there she has a keen rivalry brewing with her stablemate Elena Gheorghe, well this was an interesting contest for trying to prove a point.
Zoe's career has badly been on the downturn since before she even got the boot by the Girls Friday stable, she has always been around that lower group of fighters in the flyweight division, she kept quiet throughout the week to the fight, letting Inna field questions as she worked out.
Now if anyone is expecting some fairy tale like performance from Lister to upset the odds, well it was a brutal arse kicking from the opening bell, where Alina a fight later would take the slow approach, Inna went straight for the jugular.
Smacking down Zoe with a left hook in the opening round after beating her around the ring, gamely Zoe would get up trying to jab herself to safety, instead just getting clocked over the top.
The ruthless Inna would again send Zoe down in the second, up got the blonde even as she had a pleading look to the referee to stop the fight, instead an uppercut did that for her as she was knocked clean out.
I have no clue if Inna and Elena Gheorghe will ever fight, but one thing is for sure, Inna can't be feed fighters like Zoe for too long, she has had a tough career but fighting jobbers too long will only regress her skills, she needs competition before long.
That's all we have time for folks, thank you for taking the time to read these posts, a quick heads up that next week will be our last Real View of the year, we usually take this time off to recharge the batteries and get ready for awards season, the BBU awards polls will be up on the 1st December, keep your eyes open for them.
