Part 1: Lisa Maffia vs Renee Herbert These two main evented the first card of the week as the latest leg of the Herbert sisters tour of the UK saw them both take on legends, Renee got to share the ring with BBU Hall of Famer and former two weight world champ Lisa Maffia, someone she rolled her eyes at when they faced off at the center of the ring to show you how much respect she had for her.
This fight stemmed from the previous fights Renee had, Lisa felt the cocky youngster needed a lesson, with twenty years difference between the two women, Lisa of course could be Renee's mother age wise, don't think that bothered either woman as the claws were out verbally as they threatened each other with maximum violence.
If Renee expected a cakewalk Lisa gave her a little shocked in the first round, using her bulker frame to press the model around, Lisa used a little dark arts as she grappled Renee and used dirty boxing, hitting close to the waistband, head pressed into her opponent, things a legend picks up along the way you might say.
Problem for Lisa was once she showed that hand, Renee knew how to counter it, popping Lisa to her face as she come in, when they clinched and Lisa tried to wrestle back Renee, the youngster turned her around with a few swirls of her hips or at times using Lisa's momentum against her to hammer her.
That round set the tone for the rest of the fight, while prime Lisa would have been able to adapt to what was being thrown at her, this version wasn't quick enough and paid for it with a beating, she was hurting in round three as a left hook put her down to her side.
Lisa beat the count that time but an uppercut in the fourth turned the lights clean out, Lisa could have laid there all night without assistance as that's how brutal the uppercut was, Renee for her part just smirked about it before got down to the fun part for her, the humiliations her and her sister have become known for.
I'll give Lisa for trying to stand up to Renee but really and I hate to say it, she isn't the same woman who claimed the BBU bantamweight and lightweight titles, at best she should maybe stick to the money matches for fighting her frenemy Alesha Dixon as that is about the best match up for her in terms of money she'll make along with chances to win.
Renee looks to have a bright future, she needs a test still but there is a top fighter in her, I wonder who is next to try to shut the youngster up as she tells the world to bring it's best, she might have to tour Europe at this rate to find a tough fight.

Part 2: Una Healy vs Elisha Herbert This was the first bout of the night featuring the Herbert sisters, the former BBU bantamweight champion and former pound for pound best in many peoples eyes Una Healy wanted to teach Elisha some manners as she had been disgusted by the post fight actions of the young Aussie after her two prior fights on this tour the Herbert's are on of the UK.
To be honest I was rooting for Una, Elisha coming to the ring with a cane didn't fill me with much confidence for Una if she lost that let's say she would just get a hug in a sporting manner, Una to her credit stared down Elisha with no hint of worry on the matter.
Out the gates quickly Una was on the receiving end of power punches from the youngster, Elisha was after a first round knockout evidentially but Una did well to keep the rampaging Herbert back late on to get out the opening round.
The next two rounds looked vintage Healy, using her jab to create openings for her power shots, Elisha looked a little flustered to have someone pounding her face in response, Elisha missing more as she just swung wildly at times.
With the fight resembling more a bar room brawl, Una's toughness and guile was on show, while her lips were bleeding she opened a cut above the left eye brow of Elisha, who was put on her backside in the fifth to the delight of many, including maybe a suited journalist at ringside. *coughs*
To her credit Elisha showed she isn't just all talk, she came back at Una with venom behind her punches, making Una look old with her body shots before busting her nose up as looking at the fighters, maybe they should have just left the gloves at home as it was absolute warfare between the veteran and the rookie trying to take her spot.
Finally Una wilted as she was knocked out in the seventh, a brutal right hook sent her sprawling to the canvas, with Una struggling it seemed to even know where she was, of course that didn't stop Elisha humiliating her, if it is your thing I won't spoil it for you as you can go see what happened.
The fight itself was a classic slugfest that I'll be honest I'd love to see again but for Una's shake maybe I shouldn't, she had glimpses of that classic Healy menace that made her the most fearsome fighter in the division, sadly age even hits a legend like her and it hit her with a knockout punch it seems.
For Elisha well she proved she can take a hit, you can maybe question if she'd have beaten prime Una but of course Elisha hasn't fully hit her stride yet, just think how scary that is! Elisha could be that new fearsome force in the division of not just the BBU, of course back home in the ACB.

Part 3: Alexina Graham vs Sasha Luss These two stunning models headlined the Next Generation card on Wednesday, Sasha stepped into hostile territory as she came to Nottingham to fight the hometown girl Alexina, with both was women seeking bigger money fights off the back of this night.
There had been rumours these two could have met a few months ago, instead Sasha took an opportunity to fight former BBU welterweight champion Joan Smalls, clearly hoping to use her as a spring board to a title shot, instead she lost her undefeated record.
Understandably then she came into this fight wanting to repair the damage that loss did, Alexina meanwhile came in undefeated herself in this fight with the added pressure of friends and family watching from ringside as she took on the toughest opponent of her career to date.
Out the gates Sasha was looking to lay her marker down as they traded jabs, both look like boxers in how they hold themselves, Alexina it has to be said was slow to react at first to the aggressive movements of the Russian, who was popping punches through her guard into her face.
Back came Alexina in the second as she adapted well to the threat, moving back more to dodge then counter punch her opponent, Luss looked a little tense at that point as she realised she wasn't going to walk through Graham as she clearly thought she would.
Back and forth went the action as one would tweak a little part of their plan to get back control of the fight, followed by the other woman, all the while both women were landing some picture perfect punches square into their opponent's face.
The first major moment come in the fifth when Sasha rocked back Alexina with a right hook flush on the jaw, the crowd rallied behind their girl as she fought for survival around the ring as Sasha was in the mood to break some hearts.
Problem was she didn't get the job done then, leading to the sixth when Alexina hurt her with several good counter punches, an uppercut finished the night for Sasha as she went to her back out at the feet of Alexina to the loud cheers of the crowd.
After the fight there was more fireworks as the VIP spectator Raffaella Modugno stepped into the ring, the Italian is undefeated herself as she got into the face of Alexina, trying to intimidate each other, slaps were cracked across faces and we have a big fight coming up on the next PPV between those two beautiful models.
Before you think we forget Sasha in all this, she has the skills but maybe just lacking the power, she was hurting Alexina in the fifth but couldn't find that kill switch to end the fight, a little more strength training needed for the Russian before her next fight clearly.

Final Part: Amy Jackson vs Neelam Gill This was the debut fight of Amy Jackson, a woman who to say she has had an interesting career is an understatement, starting off modeling and winning beauty Pageants in Liverpool, she would head to Bollywood to crack the acting market there, now she is back here having roles in shows like "Supergirl" to remind us what we have been missing.
Her opponent is an English model who has been slowly building her name on the UK scene, Neelam made her debut against Maya Jama in a fight you feel if she had won, maybe she'd be in a stable by now, instead she has struggled to find competition, this was a massive opportunity for both women to lay a marker down in their young boxing careers.
The prefight comments off both women were a little dismissive of their opponent's, while they acknowledged the others history of boxing training before they got into the BBU, it was only a question of when they would get the win; not if.
The opening two rounds were frankly all Neelam, she has a three inch height advantage along with a reach advantage, for those who saw Carl Frampton vs Jermal Herring lately, it was similar early on in the sense that Amy struggled to get around that reach to get to work on the inside.
Once Amy found how to get around that reach with feints to create the chances to move around Neelam's counter attempts, Amy feasted on the body of the tall model, even bullied her at points around the ring in the third and fourth.
Back came Neelam in the fifth in what was proving a great fight between the two rookies, she caused some swelling under the left eye of Amy, which bothered the actress as she was getting knocked back by the taller fighter.
Again things turned around as Amy pounded at that body some more after a mistake by Neelam over extending on some of her punches, those body shots started to take a toll till in the seventh round a liver shot ended the night for Neelam on all fours sucking in air.
This was a great fight between them, I'd love a rematch someday when they have more experience as they seem to have a great chemistry in the ring, the crowd was on it's feet through the fight due to how exciting it was.
Neelam though won't be exactly too happy having two good performances but not coming away with the result in either fight, she looks a crisp boxer but lacks that one punch knockout, she needs to land several combos to wear an opponent down, if she had the backing of a stable it would be interesting to see what she could do.
For Amy it wasn't the best debuting performance you'll see but arguably Amy took more of a risk then most, Neelam is still early twenties, taller then Amy and has boxing training, if Amy wanted to pass her first fight in a trial by fire situation, she passed it and now let's see how far she can go.
That's all we have time for folks, we hope you enjoyed this episode, thank you to everyone who took the time to read these posts, we will be back next Sunday morning for the next edition of the Real View.
