Tom Hilton: Hello ladies and gentlemen, I know I normally say what a week, but honestly I can say that this has been the busiest week of this year and one of the busiest of the BBU's history.
We have had, the Sirens card, the BBU PPV, the bantamweight grudge card and just last night we had Doda vs Elle Goulding to go along with all the amazing news that has filtered in as well.
So while this episode was most likely going to be about the BBU PPV, I have decided that each of these wonderful cards deserves some recognition and will be splitting the four parts up with one bout for each.
Of course we will be starting with the biggest bout of the week, the BBU lightweight title was on the line, could Gal Gadot dethrone Malika Menard in Paris?
Then We will discuss the hall of famer Jessica Schwarz getting into the ring against long time rival Alesha Dixon, who got the win to add to their tally in this very personal feud?
Then we head to Japan where the Sirens stable made more impressive headlines, could this quickly rising stables De facto leader in Petra Nemcova continue her unbeaten run as she fought Berenice Marlohe?
Last but certainly by any stretch of the imagination, Doda is back in business against another stunning singer in Elle Goulding, which songbird put the other down for the count?
Sadly there is a lot of amazing bouts that should be recognized, one of the fights of the year in Kelly Gale and Hailey Clauson.
Then there is Tina Hobley, who will get a mention later in this show, but she had two interest bouts, how many girls can say they've knocked out an aunt and a niece in the ring? The Halfpenny family of aunt Jill and niece Chelsea got to be the duo on the receiving end.
Sorry that we can't fit in more awesome fights, hopefully you enjoy the show we have for you guys.

Part 1: BBU lightweight title bout: Gadot vs Menard The BBU headed to France for the latest PPV and how better to headline then to have one of Frances favourite daughters defend her title against the woman who earned the right to play Wonder Woman!
Going into the fight, only one fighter surprisingly looked like she would win on paper, Malika having a great record as not just being the champion but only losing a few fights while winning 19.
Gal meanwhile had won 2 in the BBU out of 5, doesn't sound impressive right? But she did win her last fight and most of that record was built up before she got into the magnificent shape she is in now.
The build up was bad tempered as you'd expect between a Foxfire and Lookout girl, the two stables hate each other and these two seemed to use it as fuel for this fight.
Malika starting the fight as well as you'd expect from the champ, her championship experience in round 1.
But quickly came back Gal, physically she looking the stronger when she forced the action in close, pounding Malika back in their exchanges.
Whether Malika had got sloppy in that round 2 is up for debut, what isn't is how she reacted by coming out for the next two rounds on top form, putting Gal down in round 4 and we thought this is an early bath.
Disaster for the champ in round 6! She didn't finish Gal off and she paid for it with right that landed cleanly with her jaw, putting her down.
The next round saw Gal put Malika down again! Pounding punches putting down one of the most durable fighters in all the BBU tells you a story in itself.
Malika to her credit got up once again, though she looked badly out of it, the fight should have been stopped, instead the champion took another beating and the referee stepped in to end the fight, making Malika a former champion.
Gal looked proud if bruised from that fight, the walk of shame seemed much after the fight as she dragged Malika around, the crowd of course hating seeing their champion be treated that way.
But of course Gal is only thinking about one thing know, whose next? Well she has plenty of challengers lining up I bet to take down a big Hollywood star.
While Malika I can't answer the question on that front, she has been fighting in America, it would be a shame if she left the BBU, though I don't believe she will altogether.
Malika finally got the title reign she deserved after being such a great fighter without ever getting a title shot, though we do wonder selfishly if Doutzen Kroes and Malika may want to finally get rid of their split of wins and know whose the better fighter this year after two fight of the year contenders.

Part 2: Jessica Schwarz vs Alesha Dixon Looking into the history of the BBU, under feuds I bet it will have these two women's pictures of the times they've been face to face before the brutal fights have begun.
You have two legends of the BBU, this was the 7th time these multiple time champions had laced up the gloves in anger against each other, Jessica holding the advantage at 4 wins and Alesha holding 2.
Things like Jessica being the first hall of famer we made probably haven't helped matters, Alesha promising to end Jessica's career with one hell of a beat down.
The fight started as expected with an absolute brawl between the two, back and forth they went in the first minute, till Jessica seemed to calm down first and started to use her technique to batter Alesha's face.
Alesha did make Jessica back up in round 2, good footwork and aggression got her on the scoreboard to give her some confidence.
Though the end of the round when she got caught had a much bigger effect then us pundits could have expected, she was still stunned and Jessica made her pay.
Putting Alesha down in round 3, the singer beat the count but her fans probably wish she'd just lay down and accept the loss.
Instead she was bloodied up with a cut lip, bloody nose, by round 4 you could add her left eye being swollen shut as the once proud star was getting her arse handed to her.
Again she went down, then the end came in round 5 as a left hook finally put the ruined former champ down for the count.
The humiliation after was interesting, seeing Alesha take a caning was something you'd not expect but this is celeb fighting after all, none of it is as expected.
The biggest thing to come out the fight is a possible rematch in a few weeks on PPV, hopefully the fighters can clear that up because I'll be stunned if Alesha makes the bell after this beating.
Jessica continues to impress, though age is catching up to her and Alesha, this is a rivalry that we should cherish and hopefully they never become the rivals turned respect friends types, because sometimes you just have to hate a person.

Part 3: Petra Nemcova vs Berenice MarloheWhat can you say about the Siren's stable? They certainly make amazing looking fights and this was a main event that fit the bill. Petra Nemcova has entered the world of celeb boxing like a house on fire, undefeated in her two fights up to now, winning both comfortably. Her opponent was a French icon in Berenice Marlohe, whose record while not great, she'd fought some real top contenders over the years. Going into the fight; there was a tenseness as expected between the two fighters, but there was also a level of respect it seemed as both have the goods to knock the other out. The first round showcased that fact, Petra starting the stronger, pounding her opponent back in the first half of the round, before Berenice showed her skill to counter the fan favourite. The second round showed more holes in Petra's game, something we haven't really seen before as Berenice continued to dictate the pace, letting Nemcova miss and make herself look stupid. It takes a salvo at the end of the third round for Petra to get back into the fight, Berenice dominant up till that point, then everything started to turn. Berenice showed once again that her own weaknesses, her stamina was wearing thin after using her stick and move tactics to get a lead, then subsequently lose it. By round 5, Berenice was playing the game that Petra wanted, trying to match power with the big Czech model, leading to her getting put down by a devastating right hook. Berenice never got up from that punch, even as she attempted to with some real effort, Petra's win streak now up to 3. It was nice to see Petra go over and check on Berenice, no silly hair pulling over the result, these two let's say wise women know that it's pointless starting feuds I guess like the younger fighters all seem to relish. It looks like Petra will now be fighting Manuela Arcuri, a big puncher in her own right, though not the quickest, so I see Petra getting win number 4. The real super fight I feel brewing is ironically another Italian fighter by the name of Elisabetta Gregoraci fighting Petra. Both are unbeaten, are power punches and have bodies to die for, that could be something for Sirens management to consider once Petra has the experience that she is just short of to tighten her game up. For Berenice, we keep saying it; she will have more fights as she has a box office name and a face that sells tickets, though she is purely a marker in my humble opinion for girls to find out if they are title contender worth with a great performance or if she exposes your flaws.

Final part: Dorota Rabczewska vs Elle Goulding Doda never seems far from our pages, the always controversial singer has been back in the ring against fellow singer and blonde bombshell Elle Goulding.
Elle Goulding is the polar opposite of Doda, from our experience speaking to her, she is happy to speak to you about anything, unlike Doda who is happy to speak about herself.
So it was a fight that we at the Real View was certainly going to watch closely, especially as this was in Doda's homeland of Poland, could Elle upset the odds?
On first inspection the answer was no, Elle looked to be in trouble from the bell as Doda did what she does best, get into your face and make you have to knock her back, if you don't you get knocked out.
Sadly for Elle; she couldn't find anyway of getting rid of Doda from attacking her so aggressively, Doda was out to prove one hell of a point last night.
Elle showed some fight in round 4, though that light was put out as Doda weathered the small rally from the English fighter and then landed an uppercut to shut down that drive from Goulding.
In round 5, Doda caught Elle flush on her eye to put her down, Elle fought her way back to her feet but it just prolonged the punishment as Doda hammered her till she collapsed to her knees and the fat lady sung Elle's demise.
Doda moving on to fight the girl who as I pointed out earlier in the show won twice in one night, that being Tina Hobley, who seems to have come with a mission to get the peak of the BBU mountain as quickly as possible.
I don't see anything that makes me think she can beat Doda to be honest, the win against Carla Bonner was impressive, a win against Jill Halfpenny, not so much and Chelsea Halfpenny didn't have a clue what was going on that night.
Doda as much as it is hard for some to see as she hasn't many friends in the BBU, she is the box office, a top fighter that with this renewed work rate of getting fights is now looking like she could be gearing up for another title shot, especially now the only girl to beat her Una Healy is off the throne.
For Elle, she had such promise, hopefully she hasn't been ruined by these defeats she's suffered in the past year, after starting her own career off quickly.
I believe that if a stable needed something, she could still be worth the risk as she loves boxing, though it is starting to prove it doesn't love her as much it seems.
But a win might snap her out of this slump, we wish her the best of luck on finding that win and we will be watching Doda vs Hobley closely as well, because the humiliation the loser will receive should be well interesting.
