Part 1: BBU English welterweight title bout review Leah Francis made history last year by becoming the first English welterweight champion in the BBU. Earlier this year Maya Jama took the title from her. Well the rematch took place on Wednesday night with Maya looking to make her first successful defence against the former champion.
As you'd expect neither was exactly friendly in the build up to the contest. Plenty of threats exchanged at the weigh in. The tension was clear once both were in the ring and leather was exchanged between them.
It was the former champion who took it to her opponent in the opening two rounds. Leah came on a mission to regain her title belt as she had Maya backing up around the ring. While Maya started to put together better combinations in the following two rounds, she'd get a taste of the canvas in round five with a flash knockdown.
Maya had to fight as hard as she has in any bout over her career so far. Getting put down once more, she pushed back to her feet and weathered the storm from her opponent. With Leah looking tired as she had thrown all sorts at Maya, she couldn't find that knockout punch.
Something Maya found in the seventh round as she battered the exhausted Leah down. While Francis did beat the count the first time around, second time she was flat on her back staring at the lights with glassy eyes till she was counted out.
Maya seems to have found her weight division. She has more power to her punches and good resilience. Of course she has to work on her defence as you can't expect to keep getting knocked down and winning fights. Who is next for Maya?

Part 2: Jessica Alba vs Alesha Dixon It was Jessica Alba's birthday celebrations on the pay per view too. Jessica decided to celebrate turning another year on the calender by facing another hall of famer in Alesha Dixon. Did Alesha spoil the birthday party?
Plenty of respect was shown before the bell dinged and they started to fight. Alesha showed she wasn't just there for a pay day. She took the fight to Jessica in the opening round. If the American thought Dixon was going to play nice early on for her birthday, she was wrong.
But Jessica showed her skills to take the next two rounds. This was becoming a great clash between them. Alesha caused the first major moment sending Jessica to her backside in the fourth round. Alesha looked ready to dive on the fallen fighter as she was seriously wanting the scalp on her record of Alba.
But don't count out Jessica. She boxed smartly to get herself back into the contest. Leading to her smoking Alesha with a brutal right hook that ended the fight in the sixth round. Referee didn't even bother counting as they saw Alesha was out cold.
What a cracking bout between the two veterans. There was plenty of respect after the bout thankfully. With Stana Katic winning her second lightweight title in the United States, could Jessica still have it in her for a title run over here in the UK?

Part 3: Federica Nagri vs Malena Costa Before Jessica Alba got into the ring, her stablemate Federica Nagri looked to enhance her chances of a world title shot in the lightweight division. She took on the tough Malena Costa. Who is after gaining recognition and maybe a stable in her future.
Malena came out her corner on the front foot. Federica was trying to get a hold in the opening two rounds but Malena was outworking the Italian. Federica looked understandably frustrated as she returned to her corner.
Picking herself after bad start, Federica boxed smartly behind her jab to find her way back into the contest. Malena gave her a headache but momentum was changing around as Nagri looked slick with her movement and punches finding a home through her opponents guard.
Sixth round was where we found out our victor. Federica started catching Malena with several clean hard shots. Malena had blood running from her nose. Down went Malena after a flurry of shots turned her lights out.
While Federica would probably like a do over for the opening rounds. She showed resilience to come back and win. She might prove a real test to the lightweight champion Robin Holzken if the Dutch star decides to give Nagri a shot at the title.

Part 4: Jaime Pang Vs Jennie Kim The undefeated Jaime Pang looked to continue her rise up the Bantamweight division as she took on the debuting Jennie Kim. Jennie a K-pop idol wanting to show she is more then a good singer decided to challenge Jaime.
Clearly Jaime was a little miffed she had been challenged by her opponent, making it clear that Jennie had to earn her respect in the ring. Jennie admitted she had to prove she belonged in the ruthless world of celebrity boxing as no one is going to show you any mercy.
Jennie looked tentative at the start of the round. Both women tested each other out but it felt like Jaime was leading their waltz. That's till late in the round when Jaime was caught by an uppercut that certainly shook her, proving she wasn't simply going to walk down the rookie that easily.
Each round Jennie was growing in confidence. More bolder with how she was striking at Pang. Yet it never felt like she had control for long as Jaime would land a nasty shot to turn the tables. Both women were looking sore as this was far from a sparring session for them.
The fourth round saw the curtain call on the contest. Jennie got blasted by a nasty hook on her chin. She went down like a sack of spuds and Jaime mocked her to the disapproval of the crowd. All Jaime cared about was that she scored the victory.
It should be said there were shocking scenes afterwards. Jennie's bandmates trying to attack Jaime as security had to keep them apart. Jaime looked understandably pissed off by it all. Will we see Jaime fight those band members to settle that score?
That's all we have time for folks. We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who took the time to create the latest pay per view. We'd also love to say thank you to everyone who took the time to read these posts. We will be back in two weeks time as we are taking a week off to recharge after such a busy week of action.
