Part 1: Louise Porter vs Kelly Hall
This was a bout between two returning fighters after a hiatus, Louise Porter has had a mixed career so far, while Kelly Hall once had the media touting her as a future champion, then it seems defeat really got to her as she disappeared without a trace for several years, finding the motivation to come back to fight again and maybe make the most of her talents.
The negotiations between the fighters didn't exactly go smoothly, reports of arguments in the build up certainly helped get both fighters ready for the fight, wanting to prove to their opponent who the better woman was when it actually counted and not just around the negotiations table.
Things started off nicely for Hall, she started with the crisper punches between them, Porter seemed focused on landing to the tits of her opponent, maybe hoping to through Kelly off her rhythm or possibly to get the crowd on her side, both arguably scored a round each in the opening two rounds.
Then Kelly scored her first knockdown with a nasty left hook under the ribs of Louise, who pushed up to her feet to resume fighting, both let their hands go but Louise had been effected by the body shot badly, in the fifth it caught up to her as Kelly scored the win, maybe the first of many on this comeback trail.

Part 2: Katie Price vs Imogen Thomas
This JMD bout took place on Wednesday, neither woman is exactly going to be challenging for the main title anytime soon, this was more about pride and if rumours are true, money when it comes to Katie, we all know the troubles she has had lately to say the least.
Surprisingly for both being in the BBU around a decade, they had neither laid a glove on each other in anger during that time, judging by the words being exchanged in the build up, there certainly was plenty of anger on show between them, a natural dislike for each other as both remember were glamour models in their primes.
It was clear pretty quickly that one fighter had been training, the other had been laying on a beach picking up a tan, Katie was off the pace right out the gates, Imogen especially taking glee smacking her busty rival in her stomach, drawing gasps from Price as she smacked her around.
Not long into the third the fight was over, a wicked right into the liver area of Katie sent her down to all fours, the gumshield was spat out and Katie was too weak to even attempt to get up, so instead had to accept another defeat in a row.
It looks like Katie can't hide her issues from the boxing ring, it's easy enough for me to say she needs to forget them and take this sport serious but clearly that's not what she is prepared to do right now, so she might have to expect more humiliations like this.
While Imogen gets back on the winning path, while this win should help her gain confidence, I don't see the former bantamweight champion making a run for any titles, it does show any potential opponents that the Welsh lass still has a killer instinct, so don't write her off getting a win or two before she hangs up the gloves.

Part 3: Elena Gheorghe vs Frankie Bridge
The main event of the small card from Friday night going into Saturday morning saw Romanian singer Elena Gheorghe after her controversial loss to Inna return to the ring seeking to earn herself a title fight, across the ring from her was the improving Frankie Bridge, though Frankie still is struggling to get a marquee win to put herself into title contention, was this finally it?
From the opening bell Frankie was struggling with the crisp nature of Elena's punches, the beautiful redhead was slamming her jab routinely through the mitts of Bridge to smack her face, Frankie was swinging back with not much success, some of the old Frankie showing herself as she was beaten back.
Things didn't get better in the second as a thudding combo of a left/right hook to the chin of Frankie, was followed by an uppercut to send her down onto all fours, then in the third another hammering combo sends down Frankie onto her right side, where she lay out of it till the count reached ten.
This was an absolute crushing victory from Gheorghe, who didn't look rusty at all and now has a fight with Frankie's friend and former "Saturdays" band mate Vanessa White, who has a good dig and should prove a sterner test, if Elena wants to be back in the title picture then she needs to beat the likes of Vanessa to get herself into the spotlight.
Frankie meanwhile hopefully will not get too down after this defeat, it was a horrible performance as hard to sugar coat it, though she did fight a talented fighter here, she will push other fighters if she keeps her confidence, just don't expect her to be across the ring from a champion anytime soon.

Final Part: Lily-Rose Depp vs Nadine Coyle
Finally we get to talk about someone we have been following in the ring these last few months, Lily-Rose Depp has been hunting her first win in the ring, across the ring stood Nadine Coyle, who has struggled in the past few years to get a win, one of them was gonna get the win they wanted so badly, the other was going to be left wondering what's next?
The opening two rounds were interesting to watch, neither really could grab hold of the action as in the first round Lily-Rose looked slightly better behind her jab, round two saw Nadine land some stiff overhand punches to knock back the less muscular fighter back.
Then the quicker hands of Depp started to tell the story, ramming in combos to knock back the head of Coyle in their exchanges, beating Nadine to the punch and even rocked back the Ulster woman, we had seen Lily-Rose get on top of fights before and then lose it, this time Nadine couldn't fight back as her punch resistance looks shot, by the fifth a right hook on her chin sent her down for the count, giving Depp her first win in seven fights!
Now comes the pressure on Lily-Rose to build on this result, we have seen Cinderella stories in celebrity boxing like Lucy Hale, who couldn't buy a win and then went on to become a world champion, problem is Lily-Rose is still not exactly imposing by any stretch, she most likely will never fill out enough to reach the top, of course I struggled to see her get a win and here I am talking of her first win.
Nadine meanwhile might need to start looking for the exit, this was a horrific result for her, seeing Kimberly Walsh retire a short while ago, Nicola Roberts is doing well as a gate keeper and nothing more, Cheryl Cole (who hates Nadine) is the only Girls Aloud fighter now who is doing great, still a title contender, the big question is the era of the Girls Aloud girls being the big match in celebrity boxing over now? With only Cole the marquee fight.
That's all we have time for folks, thank you so much to the BBU writers for their work this week, also to all of you who has taken the time to read these posts, I hope you enjoyed the posts and remember we will be back next Sunday for the next edition of the Real View.
