Real View Intro: Hello ladies and gentleman; the BBU PPV was on Tuesday. We had three title fights headlining a wonderful event. We will discuss those and one of the bigger fights on the card.
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.

Part 1: BBU JMDD title bout The main event from the pay per view saw the first BBU showing of Nicola Cavanis, what a way to make your BBU debut then challenging for a title. The BBU JMDD champion Hailey Clauson hoped to keep her diamond encrusted title bra. Was it the German stunner or the American bombshell who walked away with the title?
These two proved during the press conference that they certainly had a natural dislike for each other. A few choice words about their opponent before the face off... Well we got a brawl that needed security to drag them apart. I have heard fines might be issued from the BBU committee as the brawl wasn't a simply slap from each and done, fists were definitely flying!
As expected the opening two rounds set the intensity of the fight. Neither wanted to give an inch and I'd swear some of the punches at echoed at ringside. Nicola for having her first ever JMDD fight against arguably the undisputed number one in the world in this division, she showed no fear of the champion.
In fact she scored a knockdown in the third that stunned plenty in the crowd. Hailey herself looked a little vacate behind her eyes from the punches. Up got the champion and she needed to use her experience to hold on during a hot fourth round for her. Nicola was setting a tone of what she could do in JMDD.
But it looks a wasted effort as Hailey came back strong. Pounding back Nicola during the sixth round after getting her footing back, getting her own knockdown. Unlike the challenger several rounds before, Hailey unleashed her wrath and knocked out Nicola with a brutal beating to retain her title.
This was a hell of a war. I'd love to see these two go at it again when Nicola has more experience. Hailey maybe underestimated her challenger. Hopefully we'd be able to test that theory in future. Right now it is Clauson who reminds the dominant force in JMDD rules fights.

Part 2: BBU JMD title fight Talking of dominant! Catalina Otalvaro had only lost one fight in her career, which has seen her hold the JMD title over a year now. The experienced Joanna Krupa looked to be the one to turn that one into a two, while taking home the diamond encrusted title bra to Poland.
You could feel the tenseness from both fighters camps before the bell rung. Once they were at each other it was a brawl to start. Joanna kicked off the fight strong as she used her size advantage to grab control of the action. Catalina looked annoyed as she was looking to bang right through her challenger with uppercuts that didn't land as flush as she hoped.
Once the third round begun Catalina made some adjustments and Joanna looked in real trouble. The Polish ace couldn't hold back her Latin foe. Catalina kept pinning her back against ropes, simply mauling Krupa around her torso and jugs. Joanna for looking amazing when going forwards, she was looking a little gun shy when being on the back foot.
The fifth round Catalina simply seemed to slice through the defences of Joanna, who valiantly was trying to slug her way back into contention. It was Catalina who bid her opponent night, night as she sent Joanna down to all fours with a pounding to the jugs and Joanna was counted out.
This was another impressive victory for Catalina, who is certainly making her presence known. She could very well be in the argument to be a top three fighter in all the BBU. Though Jorgie Porter, Sophia Thomalla and Hailey Clauson would certainly argue against that. Catalina has become an elite fighter without any doubts.

Part 3: BBU English welterweight title bout We made history months ago when Leah Francis became the first BBU English welterweight champion. She made her first defence of the title when she fought Alexina Graham. The Victoria Secret model hoped to make it a short reign and to be the one creating the legacy of the title. Leah meanwhile looked confident as she strode in with her title to the ring.
This was on paper a clash of styles, Alexina known for her silky smooth boxing skills and hand speed. Leah known as a juggernaut when she is on form, powerful strikes as she sets her base and throws. This fight had many licking their lips to see who would emerge as the queen of the English welterweight fighters.
Alexina took the early lead with her punches landing more squarely on the face of Leah then the champs coaches would have liked. There was blood trickling from the nostrils of Leah before she tasted canvas in the third round. The champion was up on her feet at seven looked pissed off as much as anything.
Back came Leah in the fourth; Alexina couldn't deter her and was paying for it to the body. Leah generating that fearsome power by swinging through her hips with her toes digging into the canvas, all those who love power punches would be in Dreamland watching her work.
In what was an interesting see-saw battle. Alexina was wearing down and by the sixth she was down on the canvas. Leah would get another shot at her when the challenger stood up. The referee had seen enough as Alexina simply couldn't defend herself properly against the thudding punches that were ripping through her.
This was a great victory for Leah to start her reign and to show that she deserves real respect in the division. Alexina while not the hardest hitter by any stretch, is arguably one of the best technical fighters in the division. Leah while troubled at first made a hell of a statement to stop Graham in her tracks. Keep a firm eye on Leah as she looks to be finding her feet.

Part 4: Petra Nemcova Vs Helena Mattsson A battle of the leaders of their stables. Petra Nemcova and Helena Mattsson to some are measuring sticks for future title shots, of course they'd disagree with you on that front. They decided to test each other and see who deserves to move closer to a title shot.
While I think there was a certain level of respect between them, both women in the press event made it known that they were going to prove themselves and their stables superior. The tension was clear as they sat and stared from their seats, showing that they weren't going to treat this in any way as a friendly contest between two older veterans.
After the spectacular entrances from both women. The bell rung and Petra was looking for a showstopping start to the contest, rocking back Helena with power shots. Helena got her defences up to thankfully for her save any knock-downs or worse, being knocked clean out.
Helena would then give Petra something to think about as she showcased her speed and boxing skills. It was Petra's turn to be thrown off her game as she found herself having her work smothered by her opponent. This was becoming a chess match of a fight as Petra would come roaring back a round later.
Back and forth went the action as the crowd was on its feet. Petra had a round where she looked like she could blast out Helena, who weathered the storm and came back to batter the body of Petra. This was two women who brought their "A" game in a magical bout.
The finish had to come and Petra for her undoubted toughness, the body shots finally wore her out in the eighth and Helena layed her out to the joy of her corner. After the bell rung and her victory was official, Helena showed her sportsmanship to help up Petra and both veteran warriors embraced in touching scenes.
While I'd love a rematch of course between these two. It was just wonderful seeing them lock horns in what was arguably the match of the night on a card full of them. These two women clearly respect each other a great deal more now. This was a showcase of why when both do retire in several years, I hope they get the respect they deserve for being amazing warriors in the ring and great ambassadors outside of it.
That's all we have time for folks. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read these posts. Thank you as well to Caspian, Knowlesley and Vassago for writing the bouts that I reviewed here. We will be back next Sunday morning for the next edition of the Real View.
