Part 1: BBU flyweight title fight The main event of the tenth anniversary card for the Girls Friday stable saw a massive title fight headlining the card, Diana Korkunova challenged Ivana Baquero for the BBU flyweight title, with two of the best in the BBU clashing, which one came out on top?
Diana is a former BBU flyweight champion and Ivana was making her first title defence, with both coming in with great form, with both showing the other plenty of respect in the build up with a clear message, that they would do push their opponent to the limit to go home with the world title around their waist.
Once the fight kicked off it was Diana who took an early lead, using her height and reach advantage to stunt Ivana's all pressure style, even after a good second round for the champion, Diana would make a statement with a brutal right hook in the third to send Ivana down to the deck for a count of eight.
You can't question the toughness of Ivana, she weathered the storm in the fourth before shocking Korkunova with an uppercut in the fifth to send the challenger to the deck, Ivana would start to come back at her after as they let their hands go, showing that Latin spirit to hammer back Diana.
Back and forth went the action as both showed the talent and stubbornness that has gotten them into that elite bracket of fighters, finally in the ninth Ivana caught out Diana again, hammered to the body Diana was left open with an uppercut that knocked her out for the count, giving Ivana a massive first title defence.
These two certainly have a great clash of styles that lead to a dramatic fight, maybe someday they will clash again several times as both are young, especially with the BBU flyweight title, if they can maintain their level they could be fighting over the belt for the next decade.

Part 2: ACB bantamweight title fight The first title fight on the 10th anniversary card saw Teresa Palmer look to capture the ACB bantamweight title in her second attempt at the title, Olympia Valance hoped to make her second defence with the belt being defended outside of Australia in England for one of the very rare times in it's history.
In the build up neither showed much respect to their opponent, Teresa dissed Olympia's pick for a first challenger in Rose Byrne, Olympia claimed Teresa was only picked for her name value, even stating Rose would have beaten her, back and forth they went with their insults.
When they kicked off fighting it was Teresa who looked on to get on the front foot, pushing back the champion with her head down, Olympia coming back strong in the next two rounds with her combination punching showing the flashes of brilliance that got her the gold.
Teresa stuck in with more body work, scaring her opponent with several clean overhand shots, Olympia covered up more as she stopped letting her hands go as much, allowing the Hollywood star more freedom to work, it looked like Teresa was on the road to taking the belt for herself.
But Olympia gritted her teeth, bashing back Teresa hard enough to shut up the left eye of the challenger, that was the turning point as Teresa was left open from that side, in the seventh Teresa got hammered across that shut eye before she was hit across the chin with a right hook that ended Teresa's night with her knocked out cold.
Another one on the win column for Olympia, she is making a case for being the best Australian fighter right now, while also making a case for looking at getting a shot at the BBU bantamweight title in future, Teresa will have to lick her wounds again concerning the ACB title.

Part 3: Kelly Gale vs Sara Sampaio A clash of former stablemates as Sara got cut by the Girls Friday stable over a year ago, pundits still wonder why as Sara had a good BBU record, her FCBA record was woeful, someone who looked like they would go the same way ironically was Kelly Gale for a period of time, Kelly seems to have found her mojo again, even getting to the quarter finals of the Victoria Secret tournament in the FCBA.
Both women showed that there was a little tension over their history together, they had sparred over years so of course they knew each other very well, as proven in the first round as they couldn't be split, trading straight shots into faces to knock the other fighter back.
After that on come Sara as she gave Kelly a rough showing, pushing her back before hammering short hooks around the guard of her opponent, Kelly in response got a little wild with hooks, showing her frustration at being pushed by her former stablemate like that.
It took a stern telling off by her coach Taryn Terrell for Kelly to settle down, she started to catch out Sara with counter punches, pushing back the Portuguese stunner, who wouldn't go away so easily as they battled it around the ring.
Finally in the eighth Kelly caught Sara with a thunderous uppercut that rocked Sampaio, a left then a right hook sent down to the canvas, Sara tried to get up but was too stunned to do so, giving Kelly the important win, also both hugged to show there were no hard feelings.
Though Sara made sure that she turned down an offer by Kelly to try to get her back into the Girls Friday stable, her future lies elsewhere and honestly it is best for her she doesn't go back to somewhere she wasn't wanted, Sara has potential to still to make herself a top star in the ring, just needs the right backing to do so.
Meanwhile Kelly has really found her footing, finally getting a sustained run in the ring instead of a few bouts a year, she has grown from the young woman that signed into the Girls Friday stable, winning the Victoria Secret tournament might be a step too far right now, she might be ready for a BBU lightweight title shot by next year if she continues this growth.

Final Part: Karen Gillan vs Josephine Skriver A rematch between two stunning welterweights with Karen Gillan hoping to beat Josephine again, Karen was an early member of the Girls Friday stable taking on one of the current members on their anniversary card.
They were both respectful in the build up, though it was clear Josephine was wanting revenge for getting knocked out the first time they fought, stepping into the ring with their eyes locked across the ring, a tenseness between them as they touched gloves, for all the respect both knew they needed to hurt the other to win the fight.
It was an evenly fought start to the fight, with Josephine starting well with several good hooks rocking back the redhead, with Karen coming back at her with body shots, both had clear ideas how they would win this fight, Karen wanting to take the legs out of the model, Josephine to simply knock her out cold.
Karen started to be pushed back in the middle of the fight, Josephine bullying her around as the Marvel star couldn't get out from behind her guard, only landing single punches from behind her guard, Girls Friday coach Taryn Terrell loving what she was seeing.
She definitely didn't love how it ended though, in the fifth Karen slammed in a body shot that winded Josephine, then in the sixth after more body work she clocked the model down with a peach of a punch to knock Skriver out cold on the canvas, the crowd loved that as Karen's supporters came south of the border to cheer her on.
Another impressive win for Karen as she has really found her mojo since joining the Fates stable, Karen looks like she could become a world champion soon finally, after all the talk of her potential over the years, she is truly an elite fighter.
While Josephine is still hoping for that big win to get into that elite bracket, she has the talent it seems but can't find the way to win the big fights, once she does it feels like she will go on a long run of wins.
That's all we have time for folks, thank you to everyone who took the time to read these posts, we hope you had a lot of fun reading them, we will be back next Sunday with the next edition of the Real View.
