Tom Hilton:Hello ladies and gentlemen, I'm back; don't know if that makes you guys happy or sad but after attempting to sort some things out love life wise, well I'm back here, that's the main thing. But more importantly, we had another historic week in the BBU for action with massive stables of fighters and a debut card. Now I may do a full card review for the Siren's first ever card in the BBU, but that won't stop me discussing the main event of the Siren Song card, a debut fight of Diana Korkunova for the Sirens as she took on Frankie Bridge (Sandford) Then on the same card, We look at a little Latin fury, Pia Miller looked to extend her unbeaten run on BBU soil over a girl who beat her in the FCBA and making her own debut over her, Luisana Lopilato of the Sirens sister stable Vixens. Third on our show, continuing the run of Siren bouts, we speak about two welterweights who could make a major mark on both sides of the Atlantic, Hailey Clauson fought the unbeaten Toni Garrn, who of these two truly super models took home bragging rights? Finally, we promise not every fight is from the Sirens card we talk about JMD prospect Demi Rose Mawby and what an interesting week she has had. Before anyone asks, Molly may do more shows in future, I've heard some positive and one not positive from a certain party from the Black Eagle stable hmm... So you don't have to always put up with stuffy me all the time this year and don't forget to watch out for interviews from our lovely Michelle Joy Phelps, not to toot my own horn but I am proud of the team around me I hope you guys enjoy this weeks show and let's see if we can continue with a good winter

Part 1: Diana Korkunova vs Frankie Bridge (Sandford)Well the BBU is always the place where new names seem to get a chance to fight some big fish as the BBU has the best flyweight division in my opinion. So Diana picked a good test for her debut compared to the majority of fighters in either organization, not the best but Frankie is experienced, still young and fit. This had the makings of a good main event for the Sirens and it proved to be, the first three rounds were simply unstoppable action between the two stunners. Diana showed in those early rounds why she is a prospect, moving like a Usain Bolt clone in the ring it looked like, Frankie showing her own speed to keep up with her. But by the third round, it was clear that the pace suited Diana as she snuck a lead, just as sometimes the action was that fast paced; it was hard to tell who was who after the stronger action of the bigger girls through the night. Frankie though has had 18 bouts and is still only 27, starting to use her head, she started to pressure the live wire, pressing her towards ropes and corners, working the body and making the younger girl look a little gun shy. That is always the question in these debuts, can the rookie take a hit, not just in terms of glass chins but if they mentally wilt. At first Diana seemed like she would, Frankie battering her body and Diana looking upset to be getting caught. That changed though as Diana gritted her teeth and when she started to hammer Frankie back, we saw the weaknesses of Mrs Bridge. By Round 6, Frankie suffers a knockdown, an uppercut putting her down, she didn't look exactly hot with blood coming from her lips and nose. The next round saw Diana pounded to the ropes and the referee stepped in as Frankie was in a mess, Frankie protested the stoppage but from my vantage point, she would have been down again I feel. Diana is a real threat in this division, she has the speed the big question is how she'll grow as a fighter, the cuts do show some power, but she didn't get Frankie out there, maybe something for people to watch in future. But we will continue to watch keenly her progress and at 20 I mean she has all the time in the world and while I've spoken about the BBU flyweight dynasty being Jenna Louise Coleman, Cheryl Cole, Michelle Keegan and Samia Ghadie. We could be witnessing the newest dynasty! Diana, Cher Lloyd, Bonnie Sveen, Stephanie Davis and Ivana Baquero to name just a few young fighters making the BBU flyweights such a hard division to succeed in. Before Frankie thinks I have forgotten her, it is such a shame her career hasn't gotten off the ground, she is still young enough to turn her career around once again, we wish her luck in doing that.

Part 2: Pia Miller vs Luisana LopilatoYou want hot rivalries, these two have the looks, the tempers and the skills to get you hot alright, I'll be going to wash my mouth out now for that line Seriously these two seem to be linked by their Latin blood and pure hatred for each other! It is clear why when Luisana took the undefeated run of Pia in all of celeb boxing and wanted to take her BBU record to go with it this time. Finally these two met on our shores and I can say that this was one hell of a war and I am so happy I saw this possible fight of the year candidate already! The first few rounds were fanatic affairs, if you have seen South American boxing, of course it isn't always a fast paced brawl to be clear, but they have the reputation for being tough all or nothing fighters for a reason, these two fit that mould. Pia landed the punch that seemed to get her on top in the 2nd, pounding Luisana to the body, thudding the youngster back against the ropes, while Luisana tried her best to fight back. Round 4 was when she succeed, a hook knocking Pia loopy for a few seconds, giving Luisana a chance to recover and start pounding her back to the ropes. Back and forth went the girls, the crowd roaring the girls on as they went hammer and tongs to prove that they are the superior fighter. By the end of round 6, Pia was hitting thin air, Luisana was in a groove, showing why she is so highly rated back in the FCBA. A knockdown in round 7 showed hints of what was going to happen and sure enough in round 8, Luisana ended the fight with an uppercut that dropped Pia hard to the canvas, the referee not even needing to bother with counting as it was clearly over. There was more fighting between the sister stables fighters, not wise on the Sirens part when their girls had been fighting through the night. It ended in an embarrassing defeat for the Siren fighters at ringside, made worse for Pia as Luisana rubbed her crotch into the face of the Chilean girl. I don't expect we've heard the last of the Vixens and Luisana on this side of the Atlantic, especially when it comes to the Sirens. Pia it is back to the drawing board, counting her losses in America, she is on a three fight losing streak, so we can only suggest to Mr Carvill that he should maybe give her an easy fight next time to keep her confidence up, because if she keeps losing, then any chance she has of being a title contender is gone.

Part 3: Hailey Clauson vs Toni Garrn Two big girls with aspirations for gold in future, Hailey Clauson lost her debut in America but is seen as having a bright future since she is one fit babe.
But Toni Garrn is not someone to truffle with, the big German fighter is also very fit, that's models for you and she won her debut fight over Team Canada's Karen Cliche in November of last year.
The early rounds were fought quite evenly, both landing some vicious power punches but to their credit, it was their defenses that was on show.
Till they started to let their hands go more, this led to both getting their punches in cleaner and Toni took advantage alright with an uppercut after two stiff hooks put Clauson down.
But Hailey came back and scored a hard knockdown the next round to the delight of the Scottish crowd, Toni getting back up as well.
The fight quality did start to go down slightly, both girls trying for haymakers and instead turning the fight into something out of the WWE, wrestling and taking pot shots at each others bodies.
By Round 7, the action started to heat up again and boy did it? Hailey looking to hurt Toni to the body, finding some success on the attack till Toni lands a peach of a shot, nearly knocking Hailey's head off her shoulders.
Hailey was out for the count; the referee not even bothering to count, why would he when Clauson was clearly finished.
Toni looked great here with a top victory, 2 and 0 start to her career is certainly not bad, some are saying that maybe she could see herself in the Josephine Skriver and Elizabeth Debicki cross hairs soon if she keeps this up as the other two young big girls in the welterweights not involved in the title tournament.
For Hailey, I have to be critical, she has shown heart but she's 0 and 2, putting her against Toni was a mistake, too much a fight that could go wrong when there are several fish for the American to feast on to get the experience, see her strengths and weaknesses and make her an all round fighter.
Up to now I'm just seeing a power fighter and that is great but against Toni, it proved not to be enough, now she can go to the gym, fix her game up and maybe get herself into the big fights again.
Now before people think I'm chewing her and her coach up, I want to see them succeed, Hailey has the tools in my opinion to become a champ on either side of the Atlantic.
While with her coach, he did an amazing job this card, going 6 and 2, so I can't fault him, but this was a mistake and hopefully he learns from this fight, you have to feed a fighter small fish before they go against a shark!

Final Part: Demi Rose Mawby's weekWell it's funny how things sneak up on you, Demi Rose Mawby was a very well kept secret from our offices, we were just giving an invite to a card and found out as we entered the BBU Arena in Cardiff, that she was debuting. Demi fought Vicky Lloyd, who was returning from a defeat over three years ago, the new girl getting a taste of JMD for the first time in her life. She crushed Vicky, who started off well in round 1, but by round 5; she was a mess, just not having the skills to stop the onslaught of the newest model to the BBU. But that wasn't just her only fight, two days later she fought Gemma Merna, the former BBU flyweight champion and girl who if she hadn't lost to Lacey Banghard could have been in the JMD title tournament to show you her class. Demi surprised the blonde in the first round, bombing her jugs side to side when not clipping her across the chin, ending the round with a knockdown at the bell to a stunned arena and stunned Gemma. Gemma though paid Demi with interest, you don't piss a talented fighter like Merna off and expect nothing back, the blonde showing her speed and poise that won her flyweight title several years ago. But Gemma showed an arrogant side not expected from her if you watch Hollyoaks (I don't of course *cough*) that arrogance let Demi back into the fray. The girls just lighting each other up for round after round, Gemma slowly at first before quickly falling into the trap of underestimating her opponent. Instead of sticking and moving, using her boxing experience to wear out Demi, she got into more vicious brawls that seemed to escalate as the rounds went on. Demi looking like she was loving the close infighting, Gemma putting up an amazing effort in one hell of a fight, but it was Mawby who was punishing Merna. It took the last few rounds for Gemma to finally wake up and smell the coffee per say, using her boxing to disrupt Demi's attacks, punishing her mistakes and looking like she could put it out the fire. Both girls made a furious attempt to win the last round, with the rare sight of a judges decision in a JMD fight, both girls getting a round of applause for their efforts. But in the end 1 point was the difference, Demi going 2 and 0 in a few days is just wow! Even if Gemma was furious. It led to ugly seems between the two, Gemma not accepting the loss, the normal JMD smother was cancelled for a tired catfight between the two, which was an enjoyable sight. Talks of a rematch on a beach have been making the rounds, I could use a vacation with Molly and Michelle by my side But back to news, Demi also looks set to fight Jessica Stafford, also known as Jessica Jane Clement, the two have become fierce rivals over their jugs and it seems their was talk of Demi becoming a page 3 till that fell through. You have to say though, this has been the best debuting week of a fighter in celeb boxing, two wins, one major one against Gemma Merna that while fortuitous, was still a great showing. The only advice I'd give her is to be careful not to go to big too fast, Gemma was a tough fight, one she scrapped through, a heavy loss to a big fighter and what will it do to her. She should be proud though of her start and we wish her the best as we do all good fighters.

Of course, we are sad for Hailey and Pia's losses in the recent card, but like you said Tom, we're willing to learn from our mistakes and try to get some wins for them on their records!
Appreciate the mention and shout out!

Tom Hilton:Hi Caspian, We are happy to highlight an amazing card full of great fights and I hope we haven't come across as too harsh with some of our comments. After all you did go 6 and 2 on the card, that is very impressive on any given day in any league. Just remember that different fighters grow at different rates, hopefully this card HSS given you an idea where your girls are in their potential and where they need to be right now. Also, you are always welcome to our offices and I hope we can work together on news, interviews and such from your stable.
