Real View Intro: Hello ladies and gentleman; two fights this week took center stage as two cougars did battle for the fourth time in their career. While we headed back down under to their racing tracks for the latest Tahan Lew-Fatt showcase on her home turf, did she make it a successful one?
As always we recommend that if you haven't read the bouts from this past week that you go look them up. We will of course be spoiling them in our reviews. While also you will be robbing yourself the enjoyment of wonderfully written fights.
Also on today's show we will discuss possible challengers for the BBU welterweight championship. Also looking at future events to look for in the last few months of this year. How time flies!

Part 1: Sylvie Meis Vs Danielle Lineker IIII For the fourth time the Dutch fighter Sylvie Meis and Welsh star Danielle Lineker stepped into the ring together. Head to head Sylvie led two wins to one with Danielle after trying to wash the horrible taste of defeat in her last bout by Samia Ghadie away.
Neither was exactly complimentary about the other in the build up. All that mattered was when they finally stepped inside the squared circle to settle things. Both women scowled at their opponent across the ring looking ready for the bell to ding to get at them.
While Sylvie looked to push the early pace, the power of Danielle was what was controlling the action. Danielle knocking back the blonde around the outside part of the ring. It looked like Danielle was in the zone as Sylvie couldn't seem to get into a rhthym.
But one punch can turn a fight around, in this case it was a harpoon like right into the stomach of Lineker that caused her to gasp. Sylvie started to dig in more body punches to open up her opponent as the signs that maybe Danielle still had some damage lingering from her defeat to Samia.
In the fourth round Danielle was hurting as Sylvie pounded her back. Another mistake by Danielle left her open to an uppercut that rocked her and more punches simply proved too much for Danielle as she went down for the count. Meaning Meis is now three to one over Lineker in their feud.
Well seems like Sylvie is on a collision course with Samia Ghadie. That should be a fun fight as both women are legends. Samia seems to have refound her mojo to look a real dangerous fighter again. Sylvie meanwhile has always had the skills to beat anyone, just a question of can she deal with the drama that usually surrounds Ghadie.

Part 2: Tahan Lew-Fatt Vs Sara Carbonero Tahan was back on home turf as her latest bout took place in the paddock of Australia's Sundown race track. This time she took on visiting Spanish fighter Sara Carbonero. Who was looking to remind people how good she can be as the BBU bantamweight champion Sophia Thomalla will most likely have been keeping a firm eye on the clash. For Tahan she also had her eyes on earning a shot at the ACB bantamweight champion Elisha Herbert.
Knowing that she couldn't let the atmosphere get to her; Sara kicked off the fight on the front foot. A left hook on the eye of Tahan made the local hero cry out as she backed off. Sara looking to have Tahan a little rattled as the Aussie couldn't seem to find her way off the ropes at times.
Tahan has proven her toughness before. She caught her opponent right onto her stomach to make Sara back off. Tahan dug into the torso of her foe to make Sara look a little shocked by the blows. Sara tried to dig her toes in to fire back but she couldn't seem to find the punch to ward off Lew-Fatt.
A nasty punch onto the nose of Carbonero started the fifth off. It ended with Sara flat out when brutal punches slammed square through her guard to her temple and chin. Down onto her back went Sara, the crowd soon getting to roar for their girl as the count reached ten.
That has to have earned Tahan the title shot against Elisha. Of course the champion has her own hands busy this month with the ACB twins tournament. Tahan looks in amazing form over this past year. Can she finally achieved her dream and end the year with a title wrapped around her waist.

Part 3: who could challenge for the BBU welterweight title? We got a new BBU welterweight champion last month when Romee Strijd won her first ever world title by defeating Josephine Skriver. The question now of course becomes who could be the first challenger to the champion? We look over a couple of possible options to the title.
Doutzen Kroes: right away you have to go with a national clash. Doutzen is a former two weight world champion in the BBU. She was the original Dutch fighter to win the BBU welterweight title. Her form hasn't been brilliant but you can always sell the national angle, Doutzen is a future Hall of famer and she is always dangerous when she steps into the ring.
Jutta Leerdam: on that note you have the undefeated Jutta. Who is also Dutch, a speed skater when not doing social media and has won her first three fights. It might be too early for her to get the shot, it does feel though that she doesn't need to have a lot of fights to be ready as physically she is very impressive at six foot tall.
Leah Francis: Leah did lose her last fight to Joan Smalls but she is the current (and first ever) BBU English welterweight champion. With a win or two she would be right back into the title fray. She has the power to upset any fighter, it is just about consistency.
Joan Smalls: we have to talk about the woman who beat Leah and is a former BBU welterweight champion. Joan has had issues with getting regular fights. She seems on the comeback trail, could we see a clash between the two supermodels for the world title? The fact that Joan's stablemate Josephine was the former champion works against her as usually a stable won't get title shots back to back.
There are other fighters who also will be looking to get a title shot. The fact is the welterweight division has a lot of quality. Romee will have her work cut out to keep the belt for a long time. She is an elite fighter so we might very well see her right in the top of the pound for pound rankings debate.

Part 4: what to look forwards to! As we head into the final few months of the year (where does the time fly to?) We look forwards to events that will and could happen as we head to the end of the year. Starting of course with the BBU PPV this month with a possible bumper card as we hear the ACB twins tournament final between Elisha Herbert and Ashley Mescia will want to be crowned the first tournament winner, along with two title fights we could be announcing soon, keep your eyes out for that.
While there is talk of another Ashes series in the BBU. The battles between the English and Aussie fighters is always personal. The likes of Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue's rivalry being a prime example of how it ain't just rugby and cricket that we feud over.
The new BBU champions from Holland will most likely make their first defences before the year is out as Robin Holzken (lightweight champion) and Romee Strijd (welterweight champion) will both look to show that their title victories were not flukes.
Of course we are looking forwards to the Boxing day pay per view card. That is always a highlight of our year with plenty of big fights usually taking place there, we get some visiting fighters from the likes of the FCBA. So after your Christmas (which will hopefully be special as always this year) make sure to come check out the boxing day event.
The main thing is that the BBU is a place where you can find amazing feuds, great title fights, tournaments and events that will excite you. While we can hope that the year doesn't come to an end so quickly so we age another year. 😜 We will be taking in every big card over the next few months.
That's all we have time for folks. Thank you to everyone who took the time to read these posts. To Vassago for writing the two bouts this week. We will be back next Sunday morning for the next edition of the Real View.
