Tom Hilton: Hello ladies and gentlemen, what a week this has been, I mean we are several days removed from possibly thy biggest PPV in BBU history!
The first ever crossover PPV on our shores took place and from what we've heard, has been dubbed a massive success by managers, fighters and most importantly fans, so of course this weeks episode is based on that card.
So of course we have to start with the main event of the card, Cheryl Cole defended her BBU flyweight title against Amelle Berrabah, could she keep the title or would her first defence be her last?
Second we will talk about the historic first ever FCBA title defence on British soil, Kate Upton defended her title against British sweetheart and superstar Hayley Atwell, could Atwell bring the title to her Foxgire stable?
Then we discuss the fight between young guns Demi Lovato and Mollie King, both singing superstars came into the fight looking to make a statement on their futures.
While last on the show, we discuss Jessica Schwarz fighting Rachel McAdams, two legends duking it out for their place in the history books.
So that is what makes up today's show, hopefully will have more news on the next BBU PPV soon, as well as any other news.

Part 1: BBU flyweight title fight Cheryl Cole vs Amelle Berrabah The BBU flyweight title has seen some big moments since it was first fought over 7 years OK and won by Dannielle Brent.
Maybe the biggest moment in the history of the BBU and the title was Cheryl Cole dethroning the seemingly impossible to beat Jenna Louise Coleman only 2 months ago.
Now she was faced with Amelle Berrabah, a girl who has laid under peoples radars, but had a top level record that saw her finally get her shot at the big time.
It helps that neither of the girls like each other, leading to a heated build up with both girls insulting each other with real venom when the fight was brought up, though to the credit of both, that was when they were caught going to their stable gyms, they both trained hard for this fight.
To the fight though, Cheryl clearly wanted to make a statement to the flyweight division, coming out the blocks hard, she pressed Amelle back in several heated exchanges.
Amelle looked like she was matching Cheryl for work rate, but she couldn't seem to match her for skills, Cheryl though did get a small cut under her left eye, some hope for the challenger?
It turned out to be her only glimmer of hope as Cheryl was like a machine, her strikes were extremely precise as she landed to the body of Amelle, driving the air from her to put her down to her knees.
Amelle would push herself up, but she was clearly hurt badly and Cheryl just absolutely destroyed her up the middle, knocking her to the ropes and ending the fight with two hooks to her temples to put Berrabah to sleep for a count of 10, most likely a 100 count!
It was a fight that showed how far Cheryl has truly came in her career, the fighter who had mixed results early in her career, has become the fighter to beat by some distance by the looks of things.
These two fought a hard fight several years ago and this turned out to be a perfect defence for her as it showed off the improvement and sent a message to the other fighters who want a crack at her.
On that note, Jade Thirlwall has been heard to be making statements that she wants a crack at the champion, there is several fighters like Danni Minogue, Bonnie Sveen and Emily Browning from Australia.
On British shores, Mollie King and Lily Allen have been heard to want a crack at the title and several others have made their voices heard like former champion Jenna Louise Coleman.
So Cheryl certainly has her hands full in the most competitive division in my opinion in celebrity boxing, but Cheryl seems to be the girl happy to take that bullseye on her back and run with it.

Part 2: FCBA JMDD title: Kate Upton vs Hayley Atwell To think the BBU has been running 7 years, in that time the BBU and FCBA has shared fighters across the organization divide, but a title has never been defended under the other organizations banner till this past PPV.
To think that JMDD and Kate Upton, two of the most popular things in the FCBA would come over to the BBU to make that history, throw in possibly the second most popular fighter Hayley Atwell and you have the perfect recipe.
The build up saw both fighters show respect for each other, that didn't stop them trading insults over their prides and joys; their monster sized racks!
The fight saw both girls arrive wearing bikinis with the colours of their countries, leading to loud duel chants as American fans clearly had flown over to support their champion Kate against our British best Hayley.
Kate looked strong early on in the fight, but Hayley quickly showed her power off, catching Kate in round 1 with the better punches, but you could argue was being outworked in round 1.
The first 3 rounds all followed a similar pattern, Kate working hard to keep Hayley pressed back, but Hayley was the one landing the better punches, rocking Kate each time she did catch her.
Round 4 saw Kate get rocked back towards the ropes, the champion needing to shove her challenger off of her, Hayley keeping on the attack and hunted her around the ring.
The next round also saw Hayley keep pressing forwards, Kate being pressed towards ropes, the British fans believing that the fight was heading towards their "champion" Kate hurting as she grimaced each time she was hit.
Sadly for Hayley, Kate reset herself; fighting on the back foot as she let Atwell come on the attack and countered her with a hard hooks to her jugs and face.
Suddenly fate reversed itself as Hayley was hurt repeatedly by uppercuts sneaking through her guard, rocking her as her head and jugs were snapped up into the air.
Kate just hammered Hayley with sickening accuracy to the ropes, Hayley was clearly stunned and couldn't fight back, it was so bad, only the ropes held up Atwell as her face and jugs were used as a punchbag, the referee thankfully stopping the fight before Hayley was injured badly.
Upton showing why she has to be in our humble opinion rated thy pound for pound best in all of celebrity boxing, only Adriana Lima and Cheryl Cole could dispute that at this moment in time.
To celebrate keeping the title, the BBU fans got to see Kate's special victory rites she uses, Hayley pushed into a corner and for you wrestling fans, stinger splashed in the corner by Upton, jugs flattening jugs as Hayley was heard yelping in agony as bodies slapped together.
Then Kate pressed her jugs into the face of Hayley to a loud cheer, even the British fans were happy to see it after cheering for Hayley through the fight.
Hayley deserves a lot of respect, she gave a hell of an effort but maybe her tactics were wrong, she held back, let Kate bring the fight to her, then tried to time her attacks, but that just seemed to lead to her being punished badly till she could catch her.
The champion though keeping the diamond bra and showing the BBU what type of fights we can look forwards too as the BBU heads towards crowning our own JMD and JMDD champion has to lead to some dream scenarios.
Maybe future JMDD champion vs champion fights, we have heard girls like Willoughby, Marsh and Pinder all talk about winning the title here and hoping they can main event next years event with Kate in a super fight.
It could also lead to unification fights between the two organizations, the BBU champions are certainly in the bracket of the best as they should be, you never know in celebrity boxing is all I'll say.

Part 3: Demi Lovato vs Mollie King Demi and Mollie are both young and both want to win titles, they also happen to have big tempers, so when the fight was announced, some real bad blood was unearthed between them.
Comments about singing careers, boxing skills and let's say ones of a personal nature, it led to both reportedly desperate to get at each other.
As the fight started, both fighters showed their speed and power as they circled each stepping in to hunting each other around the ring.
Technique wise they are very impressive, Demi though started the stronger with her raw power backing Mollie up.
King though fighting back with cold calculating counters that knocked Lovato back, the blonde starting to look more confident as the fight continued.
She kept pressing Demi backwards and anyone who had doubts on the abilities of King, they really need to watch this fight as Demi is no push over, Mollie really took the fight to her, hurting Demi in the 4th.
But that seemed to waken the beast, Demi catching a too aggressive Mollie coming in with some vicious hooks, knocking her to the canvas, Mollie not being able to beat the count as she was badly dazed.
Demi showing why she is seen as one of the best in the world, you don't try to bully her and expect to get away with it, Mollie learning the hard way.
But we also saw why Demi is so loved, despite the two women not likely to send each other Christmas cards this year, she did go over and help Mollie up, even hugging her!
Of course Demi gloated winning to the interviewer, but after winning such a hard fight, both would deserve to gloat after that bout.
Hopefully this isn't the last we see of Demi, she had been to the BBU before, so this wasn't a unique appearance, there is several fighters that would love to take a crack at her I bet around here.
Mollie meanwhile is a girl who with one win could be right back in the title hunt, she certainly showed she can keep up with the bigger named fighters like Jenna Louise Coleman and several others.
So keep watch on these two, titles abound in my opinion for both girls as they have the skills to break through the current dubbed top fighters and make it to the top.

Final part: Jessica Schwarz vs Rachel McAdams This was one of the fights I most looked forward too when the card was announced, two women with truly legendary careers, 7 titles between them and one a hall of famer.
Jessica and Rachel have beaten the best in their respective organizations, with Jessica staying this side of the pond all of her career and Rachel staying in America for hers, so this was a super fight for long term fans of both organizations.
Both fighters were very respectful of the other, but still showed the confidence which made them household names to begin with.
As the fight begun, it was Jessica taking an early lead, boxing as she always has, off the back foot, controlling the action with her height as she is one of the tallest bantamweights going.
Rachel though showed BBU fans why she is a legend in her own right, she adapted to the situation, coming back at Jessica with quick movements around the ring, then sneaking under the long range strikes to work the body.
Both then had success, one taking the fight to the other, the other then adapting to stop them on their drive forwards, it truly was amazing to watch.
The heated action lasted till the 6th, when Rachel seemed to find am extra gear somehow, Jessica tried to match her accuracy, but she missed too many punches and paid for it by taking a vicious uppercut that rocked her.
Jessica tried to fight back, but she was badly stunned, that led to her taking two hooks and am uppercut that nearly took her head off!
Somehow she was stirring, probably mostly by instinct as I don't think anyone was home as the referee counted to 10 and Rachel's BBU debut was a success.
Jessica shouldn't be too disheartened, she gave her all and sadly for her it just wasn't quite enough, it's sad to hear she'll be retiring.
We know that she is likely to fight Alesha Dixon once more, hopefully she gets another crack at Rachel as I think these two can put on more great fights.
For Rachel, if she is serious about the BBU as was hinted at by her then maybe she can get herself into the title race to fight champion Lea Seydoux, though fighters like Doda may have something to say about that.
So that's another week, thank you to everyone who read this weeks show and hopefully we catch you next week.
