Tom Hilton: Hello ladies and gentlemen, wow what a week, the BBU PPV had some shocking results and the Sirens stable latest card has come and been awesome as always, if you want my opinion on the Siren card, go check out my review from Friday.
This episode will be focusing on the BBU PPV and four of the biggest bouts from that card, though every fight was amazing.
There is only one place we can start though, Cheryl Cole returned to her home land to fight Jenna Louise Coleman for the BBU flyweight title, which of these two titans of the flyweight division took home the gold?
Second on today's show is the showdown between Vicky Pattinson and Charlotte Crosby, pride was very much on the line as neither could return back to their homes with a loss to the other.
Then we look at the Jessica Schwarz vs Alesha Dixon war, both girls have been enemies for what seems like since the beginning of time, which of these two could get the win this time around.
Last on the show is Rosie Huntington-Whitely vs Clara Alonso, both are stunning models looking to get a big win to advance their careers and look to get a shot at the Wonder Woman herself Gal Gadot and the lightweight title.
That is this weeks show, this should be a big month with another BBU PPV and Sirens card to look forwards too, more immediately is the Jewels card this week and the JMD and JMDD tournaments will be sorting out their finalists soon.

Part 1: Cheryl Cole vs Jenna Louise Coleman flyweight title fight This was the fight people have been waiting to see in the BBU for a long time, the two best pound for pound girls in this organization and possibly the world of celebrity boxing.
The fight was set over two months ago with the fighters training hard for this showdown, when they weren't in the gym they were releasing nasty comments about each other and their talents.
In Newcastle's St James Park stadium, Cheryl returned to her hometown looking to take the title from Jenna, the atmosphere was electric as Cheryl got a massive welcome home, while the champion Jenna got a rousing boo from what felt like the whole of Newcastle as she stepped into enemy territory.
As the fight got going; I think we all knew at ringside that this wasn't going to be a walk in the park for either, which was proven to be correct as their were four knockdowns in 10 rounds!
The fight so even split as Cheryl came out the blocks quickly to take the early rounds, she was ultra aggressive with her attacks, keeping Jenna from getting much momentum and scored the first knockdown of the fight.
But Jenna showed why she has been such an unbeatable champion, coming back at her rival and soon she paid Cole back with a knockdown of her own just past the half way stage of the fight.
She'd follow it up with another late in the scheduled 10 rounds to seemingly take the lead the fight fight, only to find herself getting caught in round 10 and put down once more.
After what was a truly epic fight, seemed to end in a draw as both girls scored 93-93 on all the judges scorecards and Jenna had looked to retain her title, even her manager and coach Nicole Ritchie thought they were home and dry.
Till shockingly Jenna agreed to overtime, both felt they could knock the other out and that's what it would take to win, no judges; just two proud fighters with no excuses on who was the better woman.
Jenna calmed Nicole down as the girls were a little subdued in the 11th round, nerves on top of the damage they'd taken seemed to play on their minds.
By round 12 though, they pushed past those barriers and begun to let their hands go again, leading to both hurting the other badly.
Only one stood tall though as the crowd gasped and Cheryl knocked down Jenna for the third time in the whole fight!
The champion bravely got up but she was clearly shaken as Cheryl beat her onto the ropes and if not for them holding her up, she'd probably have been knocked down for the final time as she hung on them.
The referee stepping in to end the fight and Cheryl Cole's celebrity boxing dreams had come true, winning the BBU flyweight title in her hometown with friends and family at ringside as her name was chanted.
After getting her title, she decided to rub it into the former champions face, along with her abs, normally I'd deride that sort of thing, but emotions had to have gotten to Cheryl.
We saw Jenna's classy reply to go alongside Cheryl's own statement on how proud she was to be the champion to show you the type of people we have fighting here.
Now normally I'd say who people should be aiming to fight after reviewing a fight, but this is truly a new era in the BBU, only Cheryl and Jenna now what is next for them and they truly deserve to figure that out themselves.
They put on what I and many others agree is the fight of the year and whenever the rematch happens in future, it will be the biggest event in the BBU after this one, that is how big these two have become and I can't wait for the next chapter in their careers.

Part 2: Vicky Pattinson vs Charlotte Crosby Whether you are a fan of these two are not, the BBU has certainly been more interesting with them and the rest of their Geordie Shore cast that has come with them.
For those new to the BBU, these two women fought each other on there debuts in St James Park just under a year ago, that bout turned into a classic war of attrition that led to a draw that upset the home supporters of Vicky and Charlotte herself believed she had done enough to win.
Since that fateful fight, they've been bad mouthing each other and ironically may have helped each other by motivating the other to keep winning to build momentum for the eventual rematch.
Both came into this fight undefeated and extremely confident, threats of tops being ripped off certainly were not complained about by the majority of fans that were going to the fight.
As you'd expect both fighters went straight for each other, no holding back as they found like two wild cats, Charlotte reminding people that she has the power advantage of these two as she won the early exchanges between these two.
If anyone thought it was a pantomime rivalry, when Charlotte smacked Vicky after the bell with a hard hook and had to be held back from doing even more, the referee looked like he was losing control early.
It showed as Charlotte snuck a low blow that we could clearly see at ringside, I know BBU referees are told to give some leniency in grudge fights, but that was crossing the line.
The referee warned Charlotte just before round 3, I heard that BBU reporter Denise Van Outen had a word with the referee, though I couldn't possibly comment on that.
Vicky showed her toughness, coming back at Charlotte, this time wise less out boxing her Mackem rival with precision punches and quick movement, maybe she can be on the next series of Strictly Come Dancing since she seems destined to be on reality TV shows one way or another.
Charlotte got a massive cut on her left eye brow that really effected her vision, you could argue that the doctor should have been called as blood ran into her eye, I don't know from personal experience, but it supposedly stings like hell.
Never giving her rival another chance, Vicky battered Charlotte, the blonde tried to keep that power attack on the go, when you can not see what you are aiming for though, it becomes nearly impossible to do much.
A right hook with as much power as I believe Vicky could muster knocked Charlotte clean out, it was such a peach of a punch that it knocked Crosby's gumshield out of her mouth as it landed and Charlotte was beaten.
Of course the crowd ate up the result as Vicky strutted around the ring, just 4 rounds needed this time to finish the doubt of whose better right?
Well as with all great rivalries, I expect Charlotte to contest why she was beaten, that eye really was bad and you could argue that Vicky got a lucky punch to do that much damage.
But considering Charlotte used underhanded tactics to do her own work, you could also argue she didn't deserve to win on moral grounds.
At the end of the day as my fellow Real View presenter reminds me, what ever happens in the ring doesn't exactly matter between bells, it's who has their hand raised to the crowd at the end of the night that counts.
Vicky should be looking towards the bantamweight title in my opinion, though after another few big wins, she's gotten a chip off her shoulder.
Though in some ways I will be more interested in how Charlotte reacts, this of course being her first defeat, will she recede as a fighter and never reach the heights some like ourselves believe she can reach, or will this be the spur to get in the gym, work harder and go on a long run.
One thing is for sure, these two will fight again, they are like fire and ice, with some of the older girls who've had the top rivalries starting to head to retirement, could these two be the biggest rivalry in the BBU soon?

Part 3: Jessica Schwarz vs Alesha Dixon What a rivalry these two have had, the BBU has seen some of the biggest in Celebrity boxing, this has to be in the mix for the greatest rivalry of all time.
To think it started in 2011 with Alesha Dixon beating Jessica in the BBU bantamweight title tournament and would go on to win the title, before Jessica would take the title in December of the same year from Alesha.
Jessica would win 4 of the 6 fights the girls had, with the last fight being in 2014 between them, till both girls realised that this could be the final year they are both in the BBU.
That led to their first fight of this year a month ago, Jessica making her fellow singer her bytch for the weekend and making the record 5-2 to her in this personal feud.
But Alesha is too proud to let this lie and rumours were that they had agreed to a quick rematch whoever won the last fight, that's how much they hate each other.
Big questions were asked of Alesha before she stepped into the ring, one was could she mentally be strong after the last fight.
She ticked that box with her first two rounds, they were far from classic rounds as both fighters looked to pound each other into submission, but they looked overly focused on not losing, Alesha though was landing the more meaningful punches early on.
But Jessica found that extra gear and Alesha couldn't answer the second question as she couldn't take the full power of Jessica, though not many did in the German's prime years.
Busting the English girls lip up badly, Jessica looked for a moment like the feared fighter that we all love to watch, Alesha just took the beating and seemed lost for answers.
She soon went down for the count and Jessica made the record 6-2 to her and nobody will ever question who was the better fighter between these two.
Sadly this looks to be the final time we'll see these girls pounding each other, Jessica has spoken of retirement, though I stress she is certainly not retired yet.
But the first inductee to the BBU Hall of Fame seems to realise that age gets us all, whether she likes it or not, whether we do as fans either.
Jessica still has one more fight at least in the tank, though only she can answer who she wants, Germany has been spoken as the final place she wants to fight, which makes sense of course, so I'll keep my speech for then on what Jessica means to this league.

Final Part: Rosie Huntington-Whitely vs Clara Alonso Always gotta love the supermodel battles, while these two are not top contenders for the title anytime soon, they put on one hell of a fight.
Both were coming off losses to rookies, so there wasn't high hopes for this fight, sometimes though that's what makes a fight as they were desperate to show they can be successful in their boxing careers.
It certainly showed how desperate they were with the trash talking, neither pulled their words for each others feelings in the build up, it was all venom that was used to try and get into each others head.
The first two rounds were back and forth affairs, Rosie took a beating in the first round due to the aggressive Latin fighters style, in the second though it was the hand speed of the English girl that stopped Clara in her tracks.
Round 3 saw Rosie remind people why she has such a dismal record, instead of sticking with out boxing Clara, she tried to power through her, leading to Clara getting some real power shots onto her opponent that she really had no business landing if round 2 was anything to go by.
It proved to be the downfall of Rosie, who looked stunned and it was all about survival, one that looks to be a losing battle as she went down in the fourth.
But she got up and tried her best to make it somewhat a fight, even catching Clara in the fifth with a hard hook.
That only upset Clara even more though and didn't have the power needed to do real damage, leading to Clara unloading with hammer like strikes that rocked Rosie till she went down to her back in a heap and that was all she wrote as they.
I have to be honest that I still have lingering doubts about Clara, but at least she's on the right track with her career now and with a few over the hill fighters to feed on first, she has plenty she can beat to get those weaknesses in her game out of the way.
For Rosie, she has never seemed to break out the jobber mould, she's the lightweight Ellen Page, such a big name, but one that seems like she's stuck being beaten time and again.

BBU TV lead reporter calls from her Essex home: "Well, all I have to say is that Jenna vs Cheryl is a serious candidate for Fight of the Year! Cheryl and I have had plenty of differences over the past years but she knows - or should know - that I'm a big fan of her FCBA career where she makes us, BBU geeks, look like serious business! This being said, she always wanted to steal the spotlight... even at my expense! There are very few of these girls who are so bold! Also, I admire Jenna's bravery. She didn't have to accept the overtime since the belts were hers anyway. But I guess we simply couldn't have this fight of the year bragging end in a draw of all results. Cheryl would have never stopped talking about her getting robbed... again! Yours truly, DVO Cheryl vs Denise - someone is always in the spotlight!
