Part 1: BBU JMD title: Harumi Nemoto vs Rosie Jones The BBU JMD title is one of the newest titles around the celebrity boxing scene; this being the first time it had ever been defended in it's short time in existence.
Both fighters were eager to step into the ring after a vicious exchange of words between the girls, Harumi was looking to correct her mistake in the tournament that saw Rosie crowned the champion, while of course the champ wanted to show it was no fluke she won the title.
The opening round was a strong one for the champion, Rosie using her natural speed advantage to control Harumi, keeping her pinned behind her guard with impressive hand speed and footwork.
But Harumi showed why she had gotten the nod at getting this title fight, using her raw power to force Rosie to engage in tight situations, it was the Japan star who begun to dominate exchanges.
Rosie though gritted her teeth and kept on fighting hard, jugs were wobbling under the power of both fighters punches, the crowd seemed to eating all the action up.
By round 5; the fight was a coin toss, both had success and of course failures in the previous rounds, you could argue possibly strongly that Harumi had the slight lead.
But it was Harumi who blinked first or to be precise had dropped the ball, she tried to use the tactics she had during the fight of shoving Rosie, who had worked out how to counter that and Nemoto found herself on the backfoot.
The challenger gamely tried to fight her way back into the fight, the problem was Rosie showed why she is one of the best in celebrity boxing pound for pound in our eyes, she battered Harumi's jugs that badly that she had to take a knee and accept defeat.
It was interesting to see Hamada's reaction, she is known as a very stern coach, so to see her leave Harumi to Rosie wasn't a big surprise.
Harumi begging Rosie to be merciful; the champion showing none as she squeezed the clearly painful jugs of the defeated fighter, telling her what she felt about her opponent as this fight was a reminder why JMD style fights are some of the most personal you will find.
These two most likely haven't seen the back of each other as neither clearly has any love for their rival, Rosie though will only have eyes on her next challenger, which will hopefully not be too long down the line.

Part 2: Jourdan Dunn vs Alex Gerrard The biggest tournament in celebrity boxing has seen 16 of the best welterweights around the BBU wilted down to just 4 for the November PPV.
This was the first of the semi final bouts, Jourdan and Alex had the extra incentive of being part of two rival stables to add to an already fiery situation.
The build up saw both fighters in the spirit of rivalry, slagging each other off over anything, build, age, looks, you name it they went for it.
Once the fight begun though; Jourdan showed why she is one of thy most feared fighters in Celebrity boxing, her height, power and silky skills gave her the opening round with ease.
Alex made a fight of things with a strong second round, forcing her way inside an unfocused Dunn, who does have moments like this where she looks down on opponent's.
But it has to be said this became an arse kicking for one of the best welterweights in BBU history, Jourdan dismantled her from round 3 to the finish.
That occurred in round 5 when Jourdan landing an uppercut that opened up Alex to a thunderous barrage that knocked Alex out!
After the fight; Jourdan posed over her fallen opponent, something which caused a fight between the stable coaches as Mel B certainly didn't appreciate her fighter being treated that way.
Denise Lewis rushed over and after some undignified moments in the ring between Denise and Mel, they were separated; though judging by the crowd they'd have paid to see those two out in the parking lot sorting their issues out.
But back to the important issue; Jourdan is only one win away from the big gold belt, who would she fight though; Joan Smalls or Jaye Jacobs?

Part 3: Joan Smalls vs Jaye JacobsWell we knew that Jourdan Dunn would be in the final, now it was up to these two to battle it out for the right of fighting for the welterweight title against Jourdan. These two had history, a bitter fight over a year ago saw Joan beat Jaye after 7 rounds, that being on the debut of the younger Joan. The fighters certainly were not friends after that clash and I can bet you Jaye was licking her lips to get back at Joan to get her revenge. The opening two rounds showcased both fighters chances to win, Joan opening the fight with her natural height advantage allowing her to knock Jaye around, round 2 seeing Jaye get in tight and force Joan on the backfoot. The problem for Jaye though as Round 3 showed, Joan has vastly improved as a fighter, where clearly in her debut she wanted to make a statement as she went for a brawling strategy, this time she went with boxing skills. Jaye tried her best and did manage to score a few good power punches around the body of the supermodel, she just couldn't physically match her opponent though. It led to the actress being battered pure and simply in round 4, getting put down twice as her lips bleed over the canvas and after she beat the count the first time, another head hunting barrage opened her up to a vicious looking liver punch that forced Jacobs to land on her front, cradling her body and sobbing. So Joan advances with a real businesslike approach as fellow reporter Denise Van Outen said, that sums it up perfectly as she didn't let herself get bogged down in a slugfest. Joan vs Jourdan has so many things going on, both are best friends, they have never really been tested you could argue and they are seen as two of the fittest celebrities around. But with the title on the line; how much does friendship matter? Seeing a woman you have went to the house of, travel the world together with stand across the ring from you; wanting what you want. We'll get our answers soon as this fight will take place on this months PPV, we might be able to see one of the greatest celebrity boxing fights in history, hopefully I haven't oversold it.

Final Part: Kimberley Walsh vs Olympia ValanceThis was a fight that I have to say straight away stunned me, I will of course say why, but I have to get that off my chest straight away. Now don't get me wrong, we are talking about two truly stunning women, these two could win awards purely on looks but they have shown they can box as well. As we have seen in the other parts of the show, these two didn't like each other, unlike the others though; this was a real grudge fight as the fighters really went for each other over social media and in interviews. The early rounds fitted the classic grudge fight mould; the fighters stepped inside to work each other over, never really too far away from each other for any real period of time. But Olympia started to use her speed, her height and reach advantage over Kimberley to take control of the fight, her punches drilling the much more experienced fighter to the face. Kimberley though came roaring back at Olympia, she wouldn't accept being beaten back by clearly a woman she legitimately hates! Round 5 saw Olympia get put down by a vicious hooking drive that opened up a cut below her left eye, the Aussie beat the count but had to endure a pounding from Kimberley as the fight continued. Kimberley though couldn't find the off switch as Olympia got into a defensive mindset, forcing the English lass to have to work harder to try to break her guard to finish this. Problem was as the rounds continued; Kimberley started to run out of steam, the workrate she was put under by Olympia in the early rounds catches up with her. Olympia landed a real pinpoint punch by catching Kimberley on her liver, the older fighter never really recovered as Valance upped her own workrate once more to show a real killer instinct in the round. By round 9; Kimberley nearly had her gloves down as Olympia kept catching her with jabs and straights, till she caught Walsh across her nose to finally put down the singer for the count. I probably am not describing this fight as good as it deserves, it is honestly already on the list for the next BBU fight of the year, it is still a long way till this is eligible for those awards but this was a real classic fight. A real back and forth that arguably could be down to luck on Olympia's part, her stamina got her through the fight but Kimberley couldn't finish the job and now she looks like she gets to watch Olympia take on her stablemate Nicola Roberts next. I am still hoping for a rematch myself sometime next year, these two will never be seen hugging each other I bet if the venom they showed stays with them. That's it for today's show, I hope it was a worthy final edition of the year from us, I want to say thank you to everyone who has read these posts over the past two years we have been making them, we wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and new year.

We at the Real View offices would like to say thank you for those comments Vassago, we try to have fun and promote the BBU's action with our silly little takes on fighters. It means a lot to know people like what you do, but I have to say without you and the other amazing managers who work tirelessly to create truly awesome fights, then we would have nothing to go off, we thank you for all your hard work. For anyone who is worried that this episode was the end, as said yes we are taking a break as something like 48 weeks of the year does tire you out But we will be back with probably a special on the upcoming PPV, then we will definitely be announcing the BBU awards and the latest TWO inductees to our Hall of Fame, so see you soon as time seems to fly by
