Part 1: French bantamweight title: Cotillard vs Morgane This was a fight of two of Frances beauties over a title that has sadly only started to be defended again lately after sitting on a mantle piece for too long.
The build up was truly venomous between these two, old wounds opened up over their time as stablemates when Clara was also a Latin Union girl.
Both claiming to have won sparring sessions and brawls off the site of the Latin Union gym, Clara looked to have won the mind games with her taunts as Marion worked herself into a frenzy.
But once the fight came, it was Marion who looked to fight cool and calm of the two, while Clara just went straight at her with a sledgehammer style attack, go for the knockout and worry about the crowd later.
You see as Marion scored with her punches, her hometown supporters of course cheered her, Clara must have felt she was fighting everyone in that arena.
The first two rounds while very busy, seemed to fall into similar patterns; Marion started off by outboxing Clara, finding gaps in her guard to exploit, but Clara would roar back once she found an opening of her own, powering the challenger onto the ropes.
By round 3, Clara had busted open the lips of Marion and was finally looking in full control for the first time in the fight, again though as the round progressed, the momentum started to swing as Marion started to work the body, till Clara illegally wrapped her up in a front head lock, happily the referee put a stop to that.
Marion did come back at Clara in round 4 of this entertaining scrap, but again Clara used her superior experience you could argue to wrap her up to stop her getting on a roll.
The fight took a big turn in round 5, a cut was opened above the left eye of Marion, one that she didn't defend properly as she tried to continue fighting hard to win.
Sadly it proved the death nail in her challenge for gold, the ringside doctor checked over the cut and deemed it too bad to let the fight continue.
It was a rough way to end what was a good back and forth contest, but while I know there was some controversy over commentator Georgie Thompson's view that Marion lacked the knockout punch, she did seem to be getting the worse of it when Clara was on top, leading to the bad cut of course.
But I am sure Marion will continue to produce good performances, its the lack of wins that is worrying as producing good performances and not winning is worrying, sometimes that means your best just isn't good enough, though hopefully she just hasn't had the luck.
While Clara will be defending her title against Elodie Frege it seems next, Elodie just lost her chance at the BBU bantamweight title, so the French title which she has owned before is a good goal to aim for.
But Clara will be working hard to keep the belt I can assure you after the hard work she's put in the past year to get the title back out there, so let's wait to see how that plays out.

Part 2: Myleene Klass vs Mandy Capristo This fight was set up in Mandy's hometown with Myleene looking to spoil the homecoming, but going into the fight only one winner could really be bet on, Klass wasn't the one.
But as the fight was about to take place, Mandy seemed to be more worried about showing off judging by the way she entered the ring with a tiara on her head.
As the fight got under way things looked as normally as you'd expect, Myleene in trouble as she was taking punches straight through her guard and didn't seem to have an answer.
Round 2 though showed that Myleene wasn't here simply to showcase Mandy's talents, she came to fight as she backed up the favourite with her jab.
Mandy missing with too many punches as Myleene mustered a defence good enough to stop her, allowing Klass to work more freely then we've seen for a long time.
This continued round after round, Mandy looking surprisingly lackluster as she just couldn't match the work rate of Myleene, who controlled the pace with her range, but would sneak on the inside when Mandy let her hands drop too much.
The coach looked silent as their hero just didn't herself, Myleene continuing round after round to upset the odds, Mandy just didn't look ready to mix it up with her the more she got caught to her face.
Mel B in Mandy's corner had seen enough, she shouted how Mandy was embarrassing herself and her fans with her actions, it was a real sight to see the former spice girl living up to her "scary" moniker as she truly frightened a performance out of Mandy.
Who in the 5th started to change things around, getting into gear to work her punches through the guard of her older opponent, Myleene leaving herself open as she confidently tried to counter and ended up being countered herself.
Mandy beat her onto the ropes with only the be saving her that round, by round 6; Mandy continuing the pressure to shove Myleene again onto the ropes, I can tell you the arena went crazy as Klass was put down with a vicious right to the side of her head and the fight was done.
But it has to be said, what happened with Mandy? Overconfidence? Melanie Brown in the Lioness corner cannot take any blame for her performance as she had to act as if Mandy was a rookie to get her to fight properly.
While Myleene looked better due to that woeful performance, she is still jobber level at best to be brutally honest, but this fight and her name will most likely get her another few fights at least this year, but it will be interesting to see how long she can keep going like this?

Part 3: Indria Weis vs Natalie Gumede Indria has really been one of the older girls who has lit up the lightweight division in the past 12 to 18 months, though her amount of fights hasn't been great, so it was nice to see her back in action against Natalie.
Who in her own right has had a decent career but one that has seen her lose more then she has won, Natalie has not been in the ring for a year either so both were similar for fitness you could argue going into the fight.
But as the fight started, it was clear that Indria is still as powerful as ever as she tore away at the guard of Natalie, really making a mark early on to make Gumede really have to think about this fight hard.
Indria though just kept the full blooded press on her opponent, Natalie didn't have the footwork to really do anything to stop her, leading to her body getting torn to shreds by real venomous hooks that made some of Weis's fans even wince for her.
By round 3; Indria just bulldozed right through her, more piercing body shots drove the air from Natalie, the English fighter slumped and weakly tried to clinch up, it was clear how bad she had been hurt and a right uppercut put the lights out for Natalie.
The crowd at least got one of their heroes looking mighty impressive and you can't tell me that Klass is any better then Natalie, in fact I'd argue Natalie is the better, to show how big the contrast in performances between the hometown girls were.
Natalie for what it's worth I can see winning fights in future, but not against top talents, she seems to be a gatekeeper at best if we are being frank.
While Indria even at 38 looks like she could earn a shot at the title in future, many big hitters in the division now could lead to some true power punching classics.
So while I wish all these 35+ models and singers who've joined in the past 2 years had joined 10 years ago, but we can still dream and let's see which of the big hitters step up against each other to slug it out.

Final part: Katya Jones vs Ola Jordan I have to admit straight away to those who love Strictly, I have never seen the attraction to the show for me personally, though if you like it by all means great.
But before the BBU, I had only really seen Ola in newspapers wearing skimpy gear, now though of course I've seen her in the ring and boy is she a vicious little minx in there.
So I won't lie when I started to see Katya on TV in shows like "big fat quiz of the year" as a guest and in the newspapers where Ola once controlled with an iron fist for dancers, knowing that Ola would want to fight her with or without the gloves as I have heard she challenged Katya through "outside" channels to come and fight in the past 12 months.
Happily the BBU smartly agreed to put this grudge fight on their station in the ballroom most of Strictly takes place I believe till the final to somehow make it more fitting.
The brutal action belittled the setting as these two came to fight, though Katya showed she is far from stupid as she used her height advantage to tear away at the defence of Ola.
Who was looking to get inside to do damage, both landing some good shots in the early rounds, but you'd be hard pressed to say Ola was having real success, she was getting clipped more on the head then she'd like to have admitted.
As the fight continued though, Ola started to get inside more as her head movement increased and she forced Katya to make more mistakes, the debuting fighter not knowing how to really adjust to it.
That allowed Ola to work the body, opening up the guard of her opponent to really hurt her as she swung up to smack Jones head around.
To Katya's credit, she kept coming forwards to fight, wanting to really win this as the passion of both drove them on to continue battering each other.
By round 7 though, Ola had her opening to end it, you do not let the Polish stunner have a chance to end you as she will 9 times out of 10 would, she proved that with an uppercut to knock Katya down the ropes to end the fight.
Afterwards Ola showed she also has a side that can only be called the "Doda" now after her fellow blonde Pole, as she decided once Katya seemed to be awake, to try and humiliate her behind belief.
Tearing the skirt off the Russian, the crowd didn't seem to enjoy it judging by the loud boos, she tried to rip the bra off of Katya, she had to be pulled off her victim before she took it too far, though you could argue she already had.
Katya will hopefully be back, she showed some great talents but maybe she needs to bulk up to bantamweight, that is something she could look at, though being a big flyweight might work if she can learn to control her opponent's better then she did here.
Meanwhile talking of Doda, she has passed an opportunity to Ola to fight as an undercard fighter on cards she is on in future, that looks to be happening and I wonder who this new partnership brings up for Ola to fight, maybe either could give us that shortlist?
So that's today's episode, I hope you enjoyed the posts and as always thank you to everyone who took their time to read these, the next Real View is next Sunday, so keep watch for that.

If Alessandra Ambrosio vacates the lightweight straps, we're ready to put Indira Weis forward for the interim title! That's a reasonable option at this stage of Indira's career and Tom Hilton should be well aware if that's actually possible!

Alessandra Ambrosio:You don't need to ask Tom about that first question, I won't be giving the titles up anytime soon, in fact I'm looking at potential challengers. Indira is on that list, so you can tell her personally from me, get her ass in that gym, work hard and earn the title shot that you think she deserves. I am keeping watch on all you lightweights
