Part 1: BBU welterweight title fight
Karen Gillan stepped into a BBU on Wednesday for the first time as the reigning welterweight champion, hoping to ruin the party was German supermodel Toni Garrn, who is a former challenger that nearly won the gold once before, would second time be the charm?
It certainly looked like she didn't lack any confidence, Toni strutted down the aisle on fight night after making it clear at the press event that she was the best in the division, Karen meanwhile got a heroes welcome as the Scottish fans made the travel to Wales to see their girl prove her title win wasn't a fluke.
There was a clash of styles due to height, Toni held a few inches on Karen, which she used early in the fight to help control the champion, though Karen showed toughness to keep plugging away at the body of her opponent, the crowd loving the back and forth between them.
This wasn't a long fight as Karen kept plugging away to the body, that would pay off in the fifth as a frustrated Toni started to overextend herself, a right landed flush on her liver to send her crashing down to all fours, Garrn was in too much pain to make it back up to her feet before the count of ten ended her title hopes again.
This was a great performance by Karen, of all the fighters on the card, hers was arguably the best due to how aggressive she was, she relied on her speed, power and toughness to overcome the height of her opponent, Karen could become a real force in the division, which has plenty of women hungry for a shot.
On Toni; well she looks great at times but she also can be lose her focus like in this fight, she is still young enough to come back for a title challenge, it's all about how motivated she is to come back to the ring after this defeat, she came in like a peacock and left with her feathers plucked.

Part 2: BBU bantamweight title fight
The fight between Vicky Pattison and bantamweight champion Sophia Thomalla had been brewing for the past two months, after Sophia won the title from Charlotte Church, Vicky was one of two contenders to call out Sophia, it felt like this one was more personal for both as neither are afraid to speak their mind to show the claws to a rival.
At the bell it was Vicky who raced out to show off her skills, some beautiful punches landing square into the face of the champion to snap back her head, before Vicky could get too excited Sophia returned in the second with some tough slugging action, knocking Vicky onto her heels.
The fight followed a similar manner as neither fighter wanted to give the other an inch, Vicky was landed the cleaner punches when she had space, Sophia looked the better on the inside, with both women not trading soft punches to say the least, the cracks of leather from their shots could be heard at ringside.
This war finally came to an end in the eight as Vicky lost the war of attrition, looking the more worn down as she step got off her stool, a cracking combo sent her down for the count of eight, while she did beat the count, it wasn't long till another big punch knocked her spark out.
The undefeated champion continues on her reign of dominance, Sophia has really been a force since she stepped into a BBU ring, not that she hasn't been pushed at all because she has, still it will take a fearsome fighter to stop her.
Vicky on the other hand will be licking her wounds, she is a tough nut to crack as Sophia found out, she isn't getting any younger though, so she has to get back into the ring again soon and prove she is a real contender in this packed division.

Part 3: BBU flyweight title fight
One month ago Holly Hagan earned a shot at the flyweight title by beating Marnie Simpson, could the rejuvenated Holly win her second title of her career, well she was fighting one of arguably the best pound for pound fighters in the world right now in Ivana Baquero, this was going to be a fun fight.
Especially that neither had been shy about not exactly liking the other in the build up, even coming to blows as a clash of personalities between them was evident, as they entered the ring the old adage if looks could kill were perfect for that moment they locked eyes.
The opener was full of energy and simply a scruffy brawl, Holly coming out the worst in it as Ivana pressured her back, mistakes from Hagan showing that her emotions seem to be getting the better of her in the early exchanges, driving her challenger around the ring at the end of the round.
Holly did adapt though and started to catch the champion walking in with some crisp combos, that has been part of Hagan's rebuild since her weight loss, she is a more technically skilled fighter, which showed as she started to give Baquero a headache.
Back kept coming Ivana, the fighters both looked sore as they got into the sixth round, Ivana kept on wanting to pressure Holly, problem with that tactic is it is all about risk and reward, it proved to be too much a risk as Holly caught her with an uppercut flush that took the champs legs out from under her, ten seconds later and we had a new champion.
Holly has been a bit of a Cinderella story the past two years, the former JMD champion deciding to change up her diet, going back into the flyweight division where she struggled early in her career and it comes full circle with the flyweight title now around her toned waist, she will be tough to knock off the top spot judging by her willpower, along with being a more complete fighter now, fans might have to buckle in for a long ride with her.
While the former champion Ivana has nothing to be ashamed of losing this fight, she fought hard but got caught out, maybe she needs a little time off to recharge her batteries, don't write her off becoming a two time champion someday as she showed this past year that she has the talent to be the best in the world.

Final Part: ACB bantamweight title fight
We got a grudge match and a title fight rolled into one as Elisha Herbert looked to avenge her sister and win the ACB bantamweight title off Olympia Valance, who had been dominating the division since beating Miranda Kerr for the belt, beating and humiliating Renee Herbert in February to set this fight up.
As you can guess things were tense with all involved, even the fighters sisters scowled at each other, when that opening bell rung both fighters came out hard, trying to enforce their will on the fight, Elisha looked the tenser of the two though as she walked into some good shots early in the fight.
Back came Elisha through the middle part of the fight, showing the talent that earned her the title shot, both fighters landed some crisp combos through their opponent's guard, Olympia certainly was getting a work out with neither able to control the fight for long.
The sixth round was where things heated up on Olympia as she was rocked by an uppercut, Elisha didn't give her much room to breath as the crowd was stunned to see the champion in such trouble, Olympia never recovered from that as in the seventh a nasty left hook opened her up to a plum uppercut, that ended the reign of Valance as she was counted out.
The biggest upset of the night to many, though Elisha has shown in her early career she has the skills to be a menace to most fighters, Olympia maybe took her lightly but it was Elisha who smashed open the door and took the title for herself, though judging by the looks that were exchanged after the fight, I don't think this is the last we'll see of a Valance and a Herbert sharing the ring together as these two families don't like each other.
Olympia meanwhile will be even more disappointed when you consider her record was very impressive, it still is on paper but surely this defeat takes her out of BBU title contention for the moment, any hopes she'd have of becoming a unified champ are done for now.
That's all we have time for folks, we hope you enjoyed the posts, thank you for taking your time to read them, we'll be back next Sunday morning for the next edition of the Real View.
