One that will go into the match of the year contenders unless there's a slew of contenders come along. Here is a link to the card: bbuchat.freeforums.net/board/114/bbu-spring-party-24As 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 flyweight championship bout: Michelle Keegan Vs Jorgie Porter On Tuesdays pay per view we witnessed an interesting soap opera star battle over the BBU flyweight title. Michelle Keegan a former champion stepped into the ring with champion Jorgie Porter. Neither particularly cared for each other judging by the press conference the night before getting heated.
The bell rung and both showed how much they wanted that belt around their waist to end the night. For example Michelle in the opening round used little shoves to create chances to strike hard and faster at an unbalanced Jorgie. Who responded in the second by getting into the grill of her challenger.
Back and forth went the fight as Jorgie looked to pressure Michelle. The challenger used her reach advantage to dictate the pace at times with some crisp punches square into Jorgie's face. Both women dug their feet in trying to not be overpowered by their opponent.
The first major moment came in the sixth round. Michelle walked into an uppercut that sent her onto her back. Jorgie looked fired up when Michelle did beat the count. Both had to be kept apart as they looked keen to keep on fighting without any one getting between them.
Then in the seventh round we got the answer of who would win. Michelle was cooled off by her coach and she was the one with her wits as Jorgie was looking for the knockdown. Jorgie got hurt and a right hook sent her to the canvas. Jorgie wasn't able to beat the count so we have a new champion.
Michelle joins the rare two time world champions in the BBU. Especially in the flyweight division. Who will be the first challenger to Michelle? Maybe an old rival or will she try to give a new star the chance to win the gold?

Part 2: Una Healy Vs Nicola Roberts More then a decade in the making for a third chapter. Una Healy had knocked out Nicola Roberts twice in 2011. They decided that they needed to duke it out again as both have struggled for form in the past year. Who could regain some form by winning this contest?
While neither is as quick as their primes. They were laying in some crisp combinations from the start. A nice clash of styles as Una was looking to use her power against the speed of Nicola. The crowd was loving the action as neither was holding back on each other.
First big moment came in the fourth as Nicola scored the knockdown, sending Una onto her back. Una beat the count looking annoyed she was put down. She'd get revenge in the sixth by sending Nicola down with a right hook to send her down.
This was a hard fought contest as both were bleeding, they had bruises forming around their bodies. This was a test of wills as well as skills. In the end Nicola was able to finish it in the ninth as she sent Una down for a count of nine, pure determination getting the Irish fighter back to her feet. Moments later she knocked Una.
This was a hell of a fight. Certainly in the early running for fight of the year. Nicola needed a big moment like this to rejuvenate her career. Una meanwhile has to be wondering where she can score a win. When you look at Una's career you do wonder whether the brutal fight she had against Doda several years ago is what has led to this downturn.

Part 3: Ann-Katherin Brommel Vs Tanya Miyushina This was a big contest for both women as Ann-Katherin Brommel wanted to get herself back into the lightweight title picture. Tanya Miyushina meanwhile wanted to prove she belongs in the elite bracket of fighter.
Both certainly came to play as the opening round saw them exchanging hard shots. Ann-Katherin landed the first telling shot that rocked back Tanya. The Russian had to protect herself as Brommel looked in the mood to end things early.
Problem for Brommel was that Miyushina was there to win herself. A nasty right square into her face in the second round made her think about it. Both were trying to overpower each other as they were getting marked up.
Tanya took control of the fight from the third round onwards. Ann-Katherin was on the back foot trying to find a way back into the fight. Tanya finished the fight in the fifth with a brutal right hand that put Ann-Katherin out for the count.
This was a great victory for Tanya. She very well has to be in the title debate right now. While Ann-Katherin will need to look back on this result and her last few that having been losses. She needs to rediscover the form that got her a title shot in the past.

Part 4: Jaime Pang Vs Joanne Peh The DRAGONS stable is a few months into its existence with a few good results and bad. They had two fights on the card but arguably the one they had their eyes on the most was this one. Jaime Pang is undefeated since coming to the BBU. She is the furthest along of the three fighters they have signed up.
While Joanne Peh was hoping to make her own debut in the BBU. She had won her celebrity boxing debut a decade ago but had been focused on her acting career. Either the money on offer or the intrigue of fighting a top prospect like Jaime had interested her to make a return.
Joanne was showing her skills early on as she out boxing Jaime with precision and impressive footwork. If Jaime thought this was going to be an easy bout, well the first two rounds were not great for her as her cheeks were marked up by her opponent.
But Jaime was able to find ways to close in on Joanne. The power seemed to be on the side of Pang. Peh showed flashes of her hand speed. The momentum was swinging around and by the end of the third round it looked like Jaime found the answers she wanted.
Especially when she scored a nasty knockdown in the fourth round. Joanne found the resilience to stand up. It wasn't long in the fifth till Jaime found the off switch for her opponent, the referee didn't even bother counting as it was clear that Joanne wasn't beating the count twice.
Jaime keeps on winning and you do wonder once she steps up a level, can she keep this dominance. We have seen Sophia Thomalla has had a lock on the bantamweight division the past few years. Could Jaime be the one to rise up through the rankings to be her main challenger?
That's all we have time for folks. Thank you to Caspian, Knowlesley and Vassago for the bouts they wrote this week. Also to everyone who took the time to read these posts. We hope you can check out the Real View again as we will be up next Sunday morning for the next edition.
