Part 1: Lacey Banghard vs Hitomi AizawaEveryone seems to love JMD, when you have two super busty girls like these two brawling it out, it doesn't take rockey science to work out why. Lacey has been making a name for herself around the BBU since her debut with Foxfire Atlantic and now This is Glamour, she could be argued was very unlucky to get the girl who'd win the JMD title tournament in Rosie Jones in round 1 of that tournament, but still took her rival nearly all the way. Hitomi on the other hands career hasn't been stellar, she's 1 and 1 in her own career, maybe not being the biggest name going has really hampered her or Hamada her coach and manager doesn't rate her over the other girls as she could lose her spot to Rio Natsume if she loses their fight, which you'd bet has a grudge element to it, I mean I'd hold a grudge against anyone wanting to take this job. So the stage was set, both girls looked impressive physically as they stood nose to nose as the referee spoke to them, but one would be proven to be weak. As the bell rung to start the fight, Lacey just ripped into her opponents jugs from the bell, walking straight through her punches as if they were nothing and nearly knocking Hitomi's jugs into space the way she uppercuted them repeatedly. So it was surprising after such a dominant first round, that Melinda Messenger in Lacey's corner looked upset, I may need to ask BBU TV head reporter Denise Van Outen on that point. The next two round were not much better for Hitomi, she just couldn't do anything to keep the little dynamo off her, it's like someone had put a Duracell battery into her back as she kept going with punch after punch. Hitomi fell to her knees in round 3, openly sobbing but did beat the count, most people would have thrown in the towel by now, for some reason Hitomi was made to fight a battle you'd argue she'd lost in round 1, hell maybe before the opening bell. Lacey finished the fight in the 4th, the pounding attack finally made Hitomi go down and stay down for the count, the referee looked relieved for her. After the fight, Lacey was vicious; raking her nails into the jugs of her opponent, before smothering her out, you have to wonder if she was thinking of Melinda as she attacked Hitomi like that. In the Front Street Japan side, you have to wonder if Hamada was punishing her fighter was losing by basically whitewash, you all have to wonder if they hope Rio wins in their highly anticipated fight so they have an excuse to kick her out the stable, we'll be watching both these stables closely to see what happens next inside there ranks.

Part 2: Yumi Sugimoto vs Camilla Luddington OK I have to admit I'm a nerd, I love Video Games so when I got this post for the Real View I was so happy to see Camilla in the BBU, she plays Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider games, so I have been a little disappointed not to see her in action live till now.
Her opponent Yumi has a terrible record, but when that includes a hall of famer, a legend in Alesha Dixon and a future legend in my opinion in Emma Glover, yeah 0 and 3 looks understandable.
Both have had a long layoff so this wasn't expected to be a classic, the opening rounds seemed to confirm that as both didn't connect with much you'd get excited about, they seem tentative to throw caution to the wind.
Yumi maybe under pressure from a upset local crowd started to up the tempo first, countering a shot from Camilla with a hook that allowed her to get right into the face of her opponent.
The girls started to up their work rates, but the crowd didn't seem impressed at all by these two, the ring rust on both really taking effect on both stunners as they only seemed to be able to fight 2 of the 3 minutes before lengthy grappling sessions on the ropes.
Denise Lewis in the Beever's babes corner told Camilla to drag Yumi into a war of attrition, tire her out, leading to more scruffy action between the girls, Yumi wasting energy chasing a girl not interested in fighting, this fight quickly becoming one that won't be on sale.
By round 7; the Front Street Japan girls were getting annoyed, Yumi instead of looking to win on the scorecards stupidly went for Camilla with both guns cocked, problem was she left herself open to getting countered to the body, which put her down.
Then as she got up to fight, Camilla just beat her onto the ropes, after conserving energy for 2 rounds, Camilla had the power to rip through the defence of Yumi and knock her out cold with a hook to the temple.
It was a brutal end to a contest that didn't have much to it, both with severe ring rust, this may have been better being a private fight in the Front Street Japan gym to get both girls into fighting shape.
For those who question the difference between fighting shape and just being in great shape, look at these two, both have no trace of fat on them, two toned machines, but 3 minutes is a long time to be hit and to throw your all into winning, this is how ring rust can ruin a good fighter.
Hopefully the next time both enter the ring they can perform to their peak, Camilla from tapes I've seen has skills, but she needs to find that drive to really make something of herself.
While Yumi threw away a golden chance to take a win, rumours were the fighters got a bonus for a knockout from Hamada, who might be kicking herself for that clause, my bet is Yumi will be the one getting her ass handed to her come Monday for her performance.

Part 3: Marnie Simpson vs Chisato Morishita Lately the BBU seems to court these controversial characters, Doda usually steals the headlines but Marnie is certainly in that class when she talks about herself and her opponents.
In the build up to this fight, she had beaten Scarlett Moffatt in a controversial win as a cut to Scarlett's face seemed to give Marnie her opening to win, then she called out every top fighter in the division and the Japanese fighters since she was already booked for this fight.
I hear that Hamada was unhappy with the cocky Geordie's words, rumours being that she wished she could step into the ring herself and teach her a lesson in manners.
Chisato was chosen instead to do the honours, an interesting choice considering Marnie is unbeaten and Chisato has zero wins to her name, also she had been in America not long ago taking a beating off Anna Popplewell.
After all the words spoken in the build up, this had an almost grudge match flavour to it, one personified by the early action, no real technique off both, just trying to rip the others head off their shoulders and mostly missing.
Chisato it has to be said did seem to settle first into some form of boxing, landing the better punches as the round went on.
Round 2 was another hectic affair, Chisato landing another hard hook to shove Marnie back, but she couldn't build off it to any real success, leading to another stalemate between these two beautiful warriors.
One moment changed the fight, in Deju Vu from the Marnie vs Scarlett fight, she got Chisato into the corner with a grappling move then a boxing one and rips open a cut under the left eye of her opponent.
It seemed to suck some of the life out of Chisato as she had to endure a beating in the corner, getting her guard smashed to pieces and her face beaten to a mess.
She came out for round 4 but she simply couldn't do much and found herself on all fours as a hook right on her liver took all the fight off of her and the fight was over.
Marnie of course strutting around the ring like a proud peacock, though Kate Abdo on commentary believed she was lucky to have won, something Marnie later replied to by claiming Kate was lucky she didn't rip her hair out, no offence to Marnie, but she hasn't been out with Kate like me and Denise Van Outen have, she can handle herself.
For the record, I didn't see Chisato beating Marnie so it felt a matter of time before the beating began, which as proven did happen.
For Chisato, back to the drawing board, she certainly looks to be still in favour with management unlike her fellow losers that night, but how long will that good will last if she keeps getting crushed?

Final Part: Chloe Goodman vs Charlotte McKennaIt has to be said, when you have a nickname before your debut in the BBU, you must be good, to be fair to her, she got the nickname taking part in a white collar boxing event called City Warriors model fight night in 2013. So she has a good heart and already I want to say she has earned some respect from me for boxing for charity, but rumours from get training camp for this debut hint that she certainly lives up to the name of uppercut when she has knocked sparring partners out with it. What chance then did Charlotte have when her record is 0 and 5, she didn't look great in any of those fights so Katie Price, no complaints from me as she normally screws things up. The fight happened as you'd expect, Charlotte looking nervous, making mistakes you could excuse a rookie, not a girl with 5 fights up to this point. Chloe looked amazing as she seemed to have a magnet on her gloves to keep pinpointing the face of the stunning blonde, really ripping away at her opponent to beat her around the ring. In round 3 Chloe put Charlotte down, those uppercuts really living up to her name with them destroying McKenna's defences. By round 4 those same uppercuts crushed any resistance from Charlotte as she went down from more uppercuts that luckily for her didn't break her jaw, but another defeat to the record as she lost with a wimper. We got to see that 2017 Chloe isn't anywhere near as humble as the 2013 version, putting her foot on the beaten girls body and flexing her arms for all to see. I heard her being called a new Katie Price, oh God no! Katie is a pain as it is, two of them is just going to be unbearable for me if that is the case. I have to say she looked truly amazing, the problem being that Charlotte isn't great to gauge long term success, so I will be watching her closely to see how she goes forwards. So that's the end of today's episode, hopefully it was a good one, thank you to everyone who read this, the next episode will be Sunday as usual.
