Part 1: BBU Lightweight title preview A month ago Alessandra finally got her shot at the big one, she beat a great champion in the it has to be said reborn Gal Gadot to become a champion for the first time.
The girl she picks to challenge her has some parallels with the champ, Karolina Kurkova has never had a shot at a title in her career, yet she has wins over talents like former champion Doutzen Kroes, Krystal Forscutt and a certain Gal Gadot.
She also beat the current champion last year in their one meeting so far in their careers, Karolina winning in 6 rounds by knockout to give Alessandra her first ever defeat.
So there is a bit of a grudge element to this, they've been knowing as frenemies on the circuit, they have walked catwalks together, have shared nights out together, but when they fought, no quarters were given and Karolina walked Alessandra in shame after she beat her, so Alessandra wants revenge.
Alessandra has come on leaps and bounds since then, records wise it is Alessandra is 36 years old, stands at 5'9 1/2, her record is 16 wins, all by knockout and 3 defeats.
Karolina is 3 years younger at 33 years old, she stands at 5'11 and her record is 18 wins, 15 knockouts and 11 defeats in her own career.
So physically the advantage is with Karolina, but Alessandra you'd say has the better record, certainly win percentage of 84% is superior to Karolina's 62%
Style wise, both are power punchers, they like to come forwards and bully girls back, if you love a good brawl, then if they produce what they can then you will get your money's worth.
Whose gonna win, honestly this is anyone's game, both have great form lately, they have history and both are physical specimens that people wish they could be, so cowardly I am sitting on the fence.

Part 2: BBU bantamweight title preview Lea Seydoux has been a great champion, she beat one hell of a champion in Una Healy to win the title and beat undefeated Fleur East to defend her title in her first defence.
Lea is fighting her own stablemate, something that isn't new in the Latin Union stable, they have a history of these style bouts which has to be praised in some ways, it allows fighters to sort out issues and title disputes like this.
But you'd look over their records and say that this is a confusing fight, Lea is 32 years old, stands at 5'6, her record is 19 wins, 18 by knockout and 10 defeats, she is on a 7 fight win streak over two organizations.
While Elodie is 35 years old, stands at 5'7 and holds a record of 20 wins, 15 by knockout and 43 defeats, that's only a win percentage of 31%
But Elodie has two things going for her, she is a former BBU bantamweight champion herself and has held the French title, the bigger factor is she beat Lea in 2012 with a 4th round knockout.
Lea rumoured to have asked to this fight as her first ever voluntary defence as Fleur was a mandatory fight, to even the score on the biggest stage and with the biggest prize going, friendship will be put aside for pride and gold on the line.
So as any local derby, anything could happen, personal opinion; I think Elodie is in for a long night, she is good, better then some critics would maintain, but purely gatekeeper level in my opinion, this is her chance to prove me and other critics in the dirt, b I don't see it though, Lea will get her hand raised.

Part 3: Ivana Baquero vs Kelly Hall Two of the top flyweights in the world met in Spain as the BBU continues to grow it's presence in the world, Ivana of course being Spanish meant she wanted to win this badly.
She'd beaten Jenna Louise Coleman in her last fight, so confidence was high, but she was fighting the girl I'd say had to be in the top 3 fighters last year in Kelly Hall.
The build up was framed with Ivana being the home coming hero, hailed by the press, while Kelly was mostly interviewed by people like BBU TV, which created some needle between the two.
When the fight came along, well it didn't disappoint; both came out the blocks quickly, Ivana trying to crowd Kelly back with her patented Latin style, head down, guard tight and bullying opponents.
But she found out what so many unlucky opponent's did last year, Kelly is a great technical boxer, her footwork is up there with the Coleman's and Coles in the division.
Kelly took the early rounds you could argue, Ivana though did keep in close and worked on the body of her opponent throughout the early rounds.
Keeping the pressure on Ivana through the middle rounds, Ivana wasn't on top as the crowd were hoping, Kelly basically took them out the contest and you'd say that she had the fight in her hands.
The issues came as the fight went into the long grass of the later rounds, Ivana's body work started to pay off as Kelly started to lower her guard and clearly was breathing harder.
A hard right to the liver area put Kelly down to her knees, she did beat the count but clearly was hurt as she fell onto the ropes holding her stomach, the referee stopping the fight as he deemed her unable to continue.
It was a terrific little contest between two possible title contenders, they gave their all and they both left it all in the ring.
Ivana going over to check on Kelly to show no ill feeling had lingered, the girls showing each other great respect, a rematch someday will be fun I imagine.
Kelly though showed she needs work again, this was her first fight in months, in fact this year! After the loss to Jenna Louise Coleman in the title fight last year, it seemed to hurt her more then just physically, so she had ring rust and still showed what she could do.
While Ivana will fight Shona McGraty, both have had a spat after Shona called out Ivana, it looks like it will take place in Spain too, maybe a PPV will head over there soon from our organization.

Final Part: Cher Lloyd vs Frankie Bridge I have to say that Cher is one of our favourites here in the office, she showed in her fights a real passion to be the best and not just the payday.
Her opponent Frankie is also a great girl from what we have seen, but career wise, you'd argue that only one was on the rise though, Frankie was 3 wins in 17 fights, Cher was 5 in 6!
It is another strange situation, Cher seemingly has to beat Frankie and Vanessa White to get a crack at Mollie King, it seems a trend that Doda has started with Vera Brezhneva.
The thing you need to know with Cher is she lost her last fight to Diana Korkunova, that seemed to play on her mind as while she started off strongly, mistakes crept in and Frankie actually started to take it to Cher.
Frankie actually grew in confidence, getting into with Cher to the surprise of everyone, Cher couldn't take the change of pace as she was knocked back onto her heels.
Round 4 saw Lloyd go down! A peach of a punch to the temple of Cher put her on her back, she got up to remind us all of her toughness.
Blood dripped off the mouth of Cher, it made her look menacing as she looked to really hurt Frankie, she drove back her fellow singer onto the ropes.
Her frustration boiled over with her hitting Bridge with a low blow, the referee not doing anything, what is it with blind referees!
For people who believe in justice, Frankie came back at Cher in round 6, the two brawling but Cher's nose was bloodied badly, she was clearly hurt as she got hammered and the referee stopped the fight!
The upset happened and I don't know if the Vanessa White vs Cher fight will go ahead, one thing is for sure; Frankie looks to be back.
I am hoping that Cher isn't on a downturn, she has amazing talent and it is sad to see if she doesn't reach her potential.
For Frankie, she has her opening, she needs to keep fighting to build on this, maybe she is an outside bet for a future title shot if she can get on a run.
That is today's episode, thank you to everyone who viewed this, hopefully it was fun and look for the next episode next Sunday.

BBU lead anchor calls from Essex: "Tom, honey, there's a reason a free agent like Cher is forced to accept things that a managed fighter otherwise wouldn't! It reminds me of when Mila Kunis was running on a hit streak in the FCBA and seemingly poised to become Sarah Carter's next title challenger. So what did the Foxfire do? Instead of giving Kunis the title shot, they challenged her with Hayden Panettiere. Hayden beat Kunis and Carter didn't have to bother with her anymore. That's called a high-class management.
It's the same thing with Mollie. She's a member of a girlsband and has genuine Double A backing. She's got friends who can do the dirty laundry for her if neccessary. Cher is a solo artist, unmanaged in the BBU. She has to do it all on her own until she finds a stable willing to sign her. She didn't make many friends during one or two controversial performances but I admire her courage. She's willing to go through a difficult path to take Mollie down and well, I hope she beats Vanessa White just so Mollie whups her ass later! You know, blondes actually do it better" Yours truly, DVO C'mon, Tom! Are you satisfied with my expert take on the Cher/Mollie deal?

Of course I am impressed, as I always am sexy, you are the best looking, best informed reporter/commentator on the BBU, no matter what a certain Christine Bleakley says.
We both hope Mollie and Cher fight, I just wonder where Frankie goes now, on a tear through the division or falls flat now?
