Part 1: Elsa Benitez vs Raffaella Modugno
As the weather gets nicer we will see more beach boxing action, we kicked off the beach boxing season with a welterweight battle between two stunning models, Mexico's Elsa Benitez still looking a win after three defeats to start her career, in the opposite corner was the Italian contender Raffaella Modugno, who had ironically lost her last three going into the bout.
While Elsa wasn't the favourite by any stretch going into the fight, she started the fight off by jabbing away at Raffaella, who maybe had some hangovers from her defeats as she wasn't coordinated to start, missing with hooks as Elsa looked the more accomplished boxer.
But in the second round Raffaella showed her power off, landing a hard right to wobble back Elsa before putting her down with another right on her nose, Elsa was up at six to show it was more a flash knockdown then a serious one, till judging by the Latin beauties reaction it made her furious.
If Elsa thought she could come back at Raffaella, well that was quickly disputed as Elsa was put down again in the third by a hard left, getting into the fourth on sheer willpower, she maybe wished she played dead in the sand as she was brutally knocked out by another flush right, Raffaella finishing the fight in dominant style kicking sand over the beaten model.
This was a solid win for Raffaella, while it was a slow start, her raw power was able to allow her to overcome the mobility of her opponent, she then called out Manuela Arcuri, which will be a hell of a fight, Raffaella showed a level of respect for the former lightweight champion, though I suspect once the gloves are on and they are across from each other that respect will be out the window.

Part 2: Mandy Capristo vs Jade Thirlwall
This was the main event of a little stable war between the Lioness Club and the Frankie's Foxes, we will say which stable came out on top of that soon enough, but we will focus first on these two underappreciated flyweights, both who could be title contenders with a little more spotlight from most notably people like us in the media, so a win on Saturday night was key to grabbing the headlines.
The determination to win was etched on both fighters faces as they stepped foot into the ring, though it was Mandy who shot out her corner like a rocket, laying in some heavy leather as Jade was forced to box defensively, the German singer using her slugging approach to drive Thirlwall around the ring.
But Jades mobility would come into her favour in the third as she ducked and dodged to get inside the reach of Mandy, then once in tight she planted her feet to ram away at the torso of Mandy, who didn't look so sure when her abs were being tested, there was a clash of heads that thankfully didn't result in any cuts, wouldn't want a fight as important as this one was ending that way.
Instead it came to an end in the six round after Jade put her foot on the gas pedal, lighting up Mandy with beautiful combinations, more body shots added to the woe of Capristo, who got bashed with a right hook to the ear that caused her to go down, while she was up at nine the referee could see she was out, holding onto the wobbly Mandy as they called for the bell, stopping the fight thankfully for the safety of Capristo.
Great solid win for Jade, whose fans had to love hearing she looks like she will get more fights, she is very talented, so we look forwards to seeing her testing herself against the absolute elite, as was hinted when her management spoke about the flyweight title, could a Jade Thirlwall versus Holly Hagan fight for the belt happen?
Meanwhile we also hope to see more of Mandy, she suffered from living in the shadow of Cheryl Cole and now Ewelina Lisowska sprinted past her to her own title, Mandy will need to take stock of what she wants and train hard for it because if she sticks to having a B level player mentality, then she will never achieve her goals to be a champion.

Part 3: Ewelina Lisowska vs Perrie Edwards
Seven months feels like a lifetime when you say it but it feels like yesterday that Ewelina Lisowska was the BBU flyweight champion, riding high as the fighter that everyone wanted to fight in the division, since losing her title Ewelina took a long break, trying to find her love for the sport again as she told the media, well clearly she found that love again as she got into the ring with Perrie Edwards.
Who has been a funny fighter to gauge, her record isn't impressive by any stretch, she can be dangerous in the ring with some solid knockouts, consistency has not been a word used next to her name, the money and the spotlight she could gain off beating a former champion had to be on her head as she got into the ring.
Perrie tried to get into the face of Ewelina from the bell, problem was the former champion was able to simply block her punches and rifle in a meaty jab, Perrie had a little success but was too open in response, allowing Ewelina to land combos right back at her.
After the first round it looked like Ewelina was only in second gear, landing crisp punches but not really stepping in behind them, that's till the third when maybe she was done playing with her food, bashing Perrie around with power punches after setting them up behind a jab or straight, she looked in great form beating back the blonde Little Mixer with ruthless aggression.
In the fourth round finally the power of Ewelina set Perrie down to her backside, Perrie looked in bad shape as she had a cut under her right eye, while she wanted to fight on, smartly the Foxes threw in the towel to protect one of their biggest star names, referee waving the fight off to give Ewelina another dominant win on her record.
As was announced after the fight, Ewelina will take on Romanian singer Inna, that should be a cracking fight between them, both very skilled, Inna maybe the slightly harder puncher, Ewelina I'd say is the better pure boxer, a win puts them right back in the title mix as it will be a high risk/high reward style contest.
Perrie on the other hand seems to be relegated to being a money fighter, not a serious contender to become a champion, instead relying on her name value for a pay day, if she is happy with that then I won't judge, though she maybe should suspect more beatings like this fight was for her.

Final Part: Kimberly Walsh vs Charlotte Crosby
So while we are on the first bout for the Lioness/Foxes card, they ended up ones a piece after this fight, with the winner of this bout giving their stable the win on the night, Kimberly Walsh and Charlotte Crosby both wanted to start things off on the right foot for their stables, Kimberly for the Lionesses, Charlotte for the Foxes.
Charlotte while not on a good run of form to say the least was still uber confident as she stepped into the ring, Kimberly with more a cold stare at her opponent as they shared the ring together, both with plenty to prove as they paced in their corners waiting for the bell to ring to start the contest.
Once the fight kicked off it was one way traffic for the most part, in the opener Charlotte landed good clean punches right through the mitts of her opponent to snap her head back, Kimberley trying to fend her off with hooks off the back foot, she was getting mauled on the ropes, Charlotte looking as focused as she ever has in the ring.
In round two Kimberly's nose was bleeding early on, more pounding punches sent the Girls Aloud alumni down to all fours looking a sorry sight, she made it up at eight but was subsequently battered back down and out by a flurry of shots, Kimberly laying with blood flowing from her nose and eyes shut was certainly a statement from Crosby that will have most of the bantamweight division talking.
This was the best performance of Charlotte's career, she has sent a shot out to the rest of the division that she isn't going to disappear because they don't like her, she is here to stay, though how much was it purely down to Walsh being a shell of herself that the result was as dominant.
As we talk about Kimberly, it looks like her stable are moving her towards retirement, which when you see a fighter as badly beaten as this, you have to think about their health and really what they gain from fighting on, while maybe Kimberly would be a success against fellow cougars, clearly that doesn't seem to interest her, so if she is coming up for retirement we hope we can get seats to see the historic moment of a great fighter taking one final bow in the ring.
That's all we have time for folks, thank you so much to everyone who took the time to read these posts, we hope you enjoyed them, thank you to Vassago for the bouts he wrote this week, we hope to see you all next Sunday morning for the next edition of the Real View.
