Tom Hilton: Hello ladies and gentlemen, well I know I sound a broken record with the word historic, but with the ACB giving such a massive card that had the four major titles they have all on the line, I call that historic!
OK after you guys kick my arse for keep using that word, I can get onto today's show, well it will be an ACB special, in the same way after the BBU put on a massive title card a few weeks ago that took up my show, this week is all about the ACB!
Starting with the main event, Miranda Kerr, one of the most legitimate fighters in celebrity boxing put her ACB bantamweight title on the line against the undefeated Teresa Palmer, could Teresa beat Miranda?
Then we turn to the flyweight title contest, this one saw Emily Browning look to continue her reign as one of the best flyweights in the world and number 1 in Australia, fighting a hungry for success Bonnie Sveen, could the blonde bomber become a champion.
Third on our tour of the ACB card is the lightweight title fight, this one between two quickly becoming rivals in the defending champion Poppy Montgomery, could she hold back Mallory Jansen's challenge?
Last but not least, we talk about the welterweight title, this one was vacate when the fight took place between two unbeaten fighters, would Jesinta Campbell or Delta Goodrem take home the title?
Oh wait we have big news, we wish we had more time to say this and it's a shame we don't get longer to broadcast.
But last night Lily Aldridge fought Rosie Huntington - Whitely, a dominant performance from Lily saw her win by 5th round knockout.
The big news? She is now part of the Lioness boxing stable! From me and the girls, I wish her luck in her new stable and maybe she can come onto our show in future for an interview to tell us her feelings over this wonderful moment for her.

ACB bantamweight title fight: Kerr vs Palmer First I want to say it was fun heading downunder to see the delights of the Australian girls fighting, I have to say that this was the perfect main event.
Two girls with careers in and out the ring that people would sell their prized possessions to have, one girl with a record across four organizations that is unparallel, with the ACB lightweight title in her gasp, the other undefeated in all fights.
The fight was well worth the price of admission, unbeaten Teresa starting strong against champion Miranda, pounding the body to force her into an early retreat.
That changes quickly, Miranda is one of the most feared fighters over the different organizations she's fought in for a reason.
Using her height advantage to pound her fists over the guard of the challenger, driving her back and when Teresa tried to get in tight, she simply used her long legs to escape backwards and get into her groove again.
In the fourth Teresa went down and I know the stunning Sumner Cummings, who was reporting for Gold and Green magazine wasn't happy to see her hometown girl go down.
Of course Teresa isn't a quitter, she pulled herself up and got back to work, impressively it turned out as she knocked Kerr down one round later!
The champions dominance looking to be over as Teresa who'd landed a sweet punch to the liver area of Miranda worked her around the ring.
But Kerr hasn't gotten to where she is either without beating adversity, coming back at Palmer in a hell of round.
In round 8 though, all that early work Miranda did pay off, both girls fought hard but a barrage of punches put Teresa down for the count.
I want to extend congratulations to both girls, I know that will be hollow to Teresa, that fight was truly a showcase of the ACB and a possible fight of the year contender.
Miranda though is something else, I can't wait to see what she does next, whether it be ACB, BBU or FCBA related.
For Teresa, this is a big moment for her; she fought amazingly but this is her first defeat, will she come back stronger or will she wilt? We think she will come back stronger, so keep an eye on these two.

ACB Flyweight title bout: Browning vs Sveen "Styles make fights" a saying you hear time to time and sometimes I honestly wonder how truly that is, here though you had the technique and speed of the champion Emily Browning against the power of the challenger Bonnie Sveen.
It turned out to be an interesting fight, Emily starting strong, her speed giving her the freedom to get around the challenger, sticking and moving.
When Bonnie was catching her though, you could see that it was hurting the champ, but she wasn't getting enough changes early on.
But Bonnie started to get in tight, timing Emily's attacks well to hurt the champion, knocking her head around and getting her onto ropes.
Emily though showed her championship talent, moving around the champion quicker, not letting Bonnie settle and in the fifth, she surprised the crowd by putting down powerhouse Bonnie.
Bonnie would get back up though, needing a round to recover as Emily looked to be growing in confidence, a scary sight for most challengers.
Not this one, Bonnie maybe by pure luck, that is a debate that me and Sarah Cummings had a ringside but Sveen scored a hard right to the eye of Emily.
As the eye swelled, so did the confidence of Bonnie, Emily never seemed to recover, being put down in round 7, then for the final time in round 8.
There were touching scenes as Bonnie's friends and family got into the ring to celebrate, the new flyweight champion in tears but her impressive start to her career continues to drive on.
How long till Bonnie is in the hunt for the BBU title? We hear rumours of her name being mentioned, though personally I still believe she is a few fights away from trying for a second title, especially when you consider the sharks in the BBU flyweight divisions top order.
For Emily, she is far from a lost cause, she needs to build herself back up, after such a lay off, to fight Jenna Louise Coleman and Bonnie Sveen isn't easy.

ACB lightweight title: Montgomery vs Jansen Boxing is a funny sport, Mallory Jansen got her first shot at a title after just one win, but she felt that Poppy Montgomery was a weak champion, was she right?
The build up had disrespect from both sides, Mallory questioning Poppy's age, saying she was too old to fight, especially with girls like her coming through the rankings.
While Poppy thought Mallory was all mouth and no substance, even claiming that her she was biting off more then she could chew.
When the action started with Poppy showing her Veteran skills, working on defending herself till she could time her attack.
Which she seemed to do to perfection in round 2, slamming a hook to the chin of the younger fighter and putting her down for the first time in her short career.
Though as Mallory got herself back up, it surprisingly seemed to not worry her that much, though that may have been for show as Poppy came back hard her.
That proved to be wrong as Mallory took the fight to Poppy in the next round, she seemed to believe that she could stand and trade with the older fighter.
Poppy wouldn't be denied, fighting back to the inside, but a bloody nose and a hard right put the champ down in round 5.
Draining the energy from the crowd, Poppy did make it back up but the fight had swung to Mallory's side, all she had to do was end it.
She did that in the seventh round, Pounding Poppy into a mess and putting her down for the count to loud boos from the Sydney crowd, which is where Poppy of course is from.
Unlike Bonnie's heart warming title celebration, Mallory showed off the the crowd, going over to the beaten champ to show her the title she'd taken off her.
I am guessing these two won't be ending their feud anytime soon, with Mallory rubbing her victory any chance she gets it seems.
But now she has some hard competition circling her, girls like Jennifer Hawkins, Krystal Forscutt, Jodi Gordon and of course Miranda Kerr make up some of the names of a long list of challengers to the new Australian lightweight queen.
Is Mallory good enough to swim with what I have to admit is the toughest set of lightweights in my humble opinion from a country, just look at Miranda Kerr and Yvonne Strahovski for confirmation of the quality of Australian lightweights.
The thing in Mallory's favour is managers are rumored to like her, that is one step to doing well in celeb boxing, even if you don't get signed, if people see you as a star to fight their girls, then you usually have the talent.
For Poppy, I have heard some rumours of a possible fight but I won't ruin the surprise if it does come true, but even if it doesn't, as long as Poppy can get off that stool and fight, she has a little more ring time in her it seems.

ACB welterweight title bout: Campbell vs Goodrem This was the fight with the most intrigue going into it, first the title itself was taken off the champion at the time Erika Haynatz, seen as she vacated the BBU title and didn't show a firm interest to defend the ACB belt.
Of course she claims it's politics by the ACB, what we do know though is that the ACB picked two unbeaten fighters to have a chance to be crowned the welterweight champion.
Delta Goodrem entered with a record of 6 wins, all by knockout and 0 losses off course, Jesinta was 2 and 0, both her wins by knockout.
The fight was set and well it was a real back and forth affair of the highest order, two fighters hungry for their first ever titles, winning to fight tooth and nail to achieve their dreams.
Delta wanted to get on the inside, clearly feeling she was physical stronger then Jesinta, the younger model wanted to stay on the outside with her speed.
One fighter would go on top, beating the other backwards around the ring, till they would stop an opening and come back at them hard.
Both suffered injuries to their noses, Jesinta's nose bleeding first, then Delta suffered a cut to the bridge of her nose.
But in round 5, we started to see a fighter start to plough forwards, Jesinta's body work hurt Delta, who for the first time in her career looked weak.
Delta got caught to her solar plexus in round 6 and down went the singer, cradling her body and seeing her dreams ripped away from her as Jesinta became the new ACB welter champion!
To Jesinta's credit, she helped Delta up and all the anger they had felt in the fight washed away, it was just too women who knew the other wanted the same as them but couldn't find the urge to hate each other it seems.
Both fighters were heard talking about the fight, even smiling I can definitely tell you, so if the rematch both seem to want does happen, I wonder how much this friendliness does stay around.
A girl we know isn't friendly with either is Erika Haynatz, who was surprisingly ringside for this contest, even heard slagging the fighters off a paper champions.
Jesinta and Erika's actions as the new champ and the old one went nose to nose at ringside with a guard rail between them seems to confirm that they will fight for the title soon.
Though there are some questions of how the ACB will react to this, discussions are supposedly be had in their offices over this trouble.
For Delta, a tune up fight could be a possibility, maybe heading to the BBU or FCBA, the offer of a rematch from Jesinta gives Delta hope of winning her first title still alive.
It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out, with Erika and Jesinta looking on a crash course and Delta waiting in the rings to fight either one.
