Part 1: Italian lightweight boxing Title fight After only winning the Italian lightweight title fight recently, Federica Nagri put up the title against Valentina Fradegrada in the latter's first BBU fight, though Valentina has been winning fights in the FCBA over the past few months, it was an interesting fight to see play out with the added animosity between them in the build up.
The opening round showed what a fight this was going to be, they went into top gear right away as they traded hooks and uppercuts, not much defence as they both looked to end the fight as quickly as they could to claim the title.
Federica started to use her experience to use her jab, controlling the fight as she started to knock back the head of the challenger, leading to her knocking down Valentina in the fourth with a right hook, Valentina beat the count at eight but had to dig deep to keep survive the rest of the round.
While Federica was on top for periods after the knockdown, Valentina dug deep to keep fighting hard, both were busted up, with Valentina finding ways of getting into the face of Federica, hammering her back with hooks on the inside as it became a brawl.
Finally in round eight we got an answer to who was tougher, getting into the final minute of the round, Federica made a small mistake and paid dearly for it with an uppercut that knocked her clean out before she hit the canvas! Meaning we had a new champion in Valentina.
This was an absolute war that neither will forget anytime soon, Federica will be regretting putting her title on the line so soon now she basically had a month long title reign, can Valentina have a long reign? Well the way Italian celebrity boxing is growing there are plenty of contenders to try to knock her clean out to rip the belt off her waist.

Part 2: Bastille Day fight Of course when Bastille Day comes along the bunting comes out, along with two beautiful French female celebrities putting on the gloves to celebrate by knocking out their bitter rivals in the ring, this year it was Berenice Marlohe and Nabilla Benattia who got the nod to showcase their talents.
Before they locked up in the ring, Berenice made it known she didn't rate Nabilla one bit, which made commentator Georgie Thompson laugh out, nearly causing an impromptu fight between Berenice and Georgie that got chuckles from the crowd.
When the real fight off Berenice may have regretted her words, with Nabilla quick off the mark to hammer in straight punches into the face of the veteran, Berenice struggled to match the work rate of her opponent, leading to her getting pinned onto the ropes several times.
Round three saw the first flashes of Berenice's skills, bashing her foe in the face after dodging some lopping hooks that just found air, she was able to rally with straight punches of her own hammering back Nabilla around the ring, getting loud whistles from her supporters.
That was the highlight of the fight for Berenice, she got caught early in the fourth as she tried to press forwards, the younger woman battered back the actress, Berenice was driven onto the ropes around the ring, with the fifth seeing the end for Marlohe, an uppercut did the damage before a left hook behind the ear send her snoozing onto the canvas.
It was a special day for Nabilla as you could see her pride at winning as she posed over the beaten fighter, she made it known she wants to dominate the JMDD division in the BBU, it'll be interesting to see if this is the fight that will catapult her to the top.

Part 3: Sophie Howard vs Toni Garrn Our beach boxing portion of the week was main evented by the classic veteran vs up and comer battle, both were looking to break losing streaks on the sand of Dubai, with Sophie trying to prove she can hack it still under traditional rules with all the press seemingly telling her to focus on JMDD.
The difference in personality when it comes to boxing was on show when they stepped into the ring, Sophie was playful as she waved to her fans, even winking at her coach Melanie Brown, Toni on the other hand looked the definition of focused, staring right at Sophie all the way through the introductions with piercing eyes.
Once the bell rung Toni was dominating the action with her stiff jab, Sophie landed a few half decent shots on the inside, she was quickly pressed back out to range by short cross punches that turned her head, finishing the opening round finding herself being hammered by some big power shots that didn't exactly fill the Lioness Club corner with confidence.
That feeling was quickly proven to be right as Sophie was first put down by an uppercut in the second, then finished off forty seconds later by an absolute pounding, a stiff body shot tool the fight out of the English lass, Germany probably wished they had Toni playing football for them against England since she clearly knows how to finish chances.
Sophie's plan to prove she can fight the best in a straight up fight blew up in her face, issue she has right now by going away from JMDD she is letting other contenders grab the spotlight there, when she goes back she might find she is in for a tougher test getting into title fights then she did even six months ago.
For Toni this is how you smash through criticism, I bag on her coach/manager Gina Wild but credit where it is due, Gina picked a perfect opponent along with tactics to get Toni back on the right path, question now is does Toni reach for the stars in a crowded welterweight division or bide her time, continue to build her own stock for a possible challenge later when the dust settles on what could be a turbulent few months around the BBU welterweight title.

Final Part: Jodi Gordon vs Chloe Khan We kicked off the action in Dubai with the classic Aussie vs English girl clash, Jodi Gordon and Chloe Khan donned their best bikinis for a good old slugfest, Chloe had caused the extra friction by mouthing off how she'd batter Jodi to show the world that she isn't afraid of anyone, Jodi kept her mouth shut in the build up as clearly she believes actions speak louder then words.
It wasn't long before we found out if that was true about Jodi, she quickly started pounding Chloe back in the first round, even sneaking in some digging punches to the large breasts of Khan to make her back off looking upset, problem for Chloe was Jodi wasn't playing around.
Each time Chloe did start to make some headway it was quickly shut down, leading to her starting to shout at her opponent more then to actually throw any punches, which looked ridiculous as she was simply being beaten back each time she yapped on instead of boxed.
The third looked like it could be an early shower for Chloe as she was knocked down by a hard right to her nose, at seven Chloe got up and was acting like a child in her complains, even wanting to box topless as if her bra was getting in the way, it was bizarre to watch.
Then it turned into a bar room brawl, two headbutts to the chest of Jodi when Chloe clinched up with the Aussie, they went to the sand and rolled around till the referee broken them up, referee ducted a point from Chloe, arguably it was pointless as Chloe was a mile behind and maybe should have been disqualified.
Well Jodi decided to end things herself in the fifth, pounding Chloe again till a hook sent the Yorkshire lass down onto her face for the count, Jodi posed with her right foot on the bum of the beaten woman, summing up the night of Khan who sobbed in the sand.
This was nearly a rout for Jodi, she battered a below par Chloe in her first fight in over two years, while Jodi needs more work she could very well challenge for the ACB lightweight title before long, Holly Valance may not thank me for saying that as Jodi might go in the favourite with her youth over her.
Chloe on the other hand looks a hot mess, she has lost to rookie Ruby Mae and a rusty Jodi, we hear she has Danielle Lloyd in JMDD action planned next, well if she loses to Danielle then for me she has no hope, that is a fight she should win but Chloe has shown she is quick to moan when things go wrong for her.
That's all we have time for folks, we hope you enjoyed these posts, thank you so much for taking the time to read these posts, we hope you can take the time to check out the next edition of the Real View next Sunday morning.

Hey, I'm fine fighting Jodi anytime she wants to! She's only two years younger than me so her "youth" factor is overrated
