Part 1: BBU flyweight title fight This was a fight I was looking forwards too since the end of the Contender 6 tournament, Tiffany Mulheron has proven to be back in the elite, while Cheryl Cole is one of the most dominant fighters in all of celebrity boxing.
So a quick back story of how we got to the fight, Tiffany returned from a 2 year lay off to take part in the first ever Contender 6 tournament, a round robin between 6 of the best flyweights in the BBU, Tiffany only lost once on her way to winning the tournament, beating former champion and pound for pound queen Jenna Louise Coleman on the way to the title.
While Cheryl has been unstoppable since heading to the FCBA as well as fighting in the BBU, she dethroned Jenna; who had the most wins in a row of any BBU fighter and the second most title defences with 9, so Cheryl has become the woman in beat for so many reasons.
The build up was intense to say the least, both women knew this could be their toughest ever fight, with them seeming to take a dislike to the presence of the other.
The opening round of the fight was one of the best I have seen this year, maybe ever to be frank as both women just laid into each other; no feeling out process, this was a war from the opening bell.
The second round saw the fight begin to resemble a boxing match, Tiffany used her jab and extra reach to keep Cheryl stuck behind her guard, at range Tiffany has looked like one of the most dangerous fighters in celebrity boxing, so Cheryl had to turn things around or end up being in real trouble.
Cheryl did start to pull back the reins of control from Tiffany, leading to another grandstand round in the fourth that had the crowd standing and applauding the fighters.
But Tiffany would put Cheryl down; a two uppercut combo put the champion on her back, leading to the mood changing to shock as could the Cinderella story of Tiffany's comeback finish with a happy ending?
Sadly it didn't happen if you are a fan of hers, Cheryl got up and countered her way back into the fight, before really turning the heat up on her challenger.
Till in the eighth; Cheryl cracked Tiffany with a hell of a right across her chin, putting her on her back and Tiffany's story ended with her laying on her back for the ten count.
I have to admit it is sad to see Tiffany fail, but she has said that she will continue on in the ring, so the comeback story isn't finished and her success continues the rest of the year, then Tiffany may find that ending to the story she really wants.
While Cheryl is has to be said to me isn't just the best pound for pound fighter in the BBU, I honestly believe she is the best in all of celebrity boxing, I mean she is on a phenomenal run as the champion, this being her fourth successful defence.
With crossover coming up next month and seeing how Cheryl is going guns blazing in the FCBA, I would love to see her get a second bite at the cherry the FCBA flyweight title and hopefully become the first ever dual champion of both organizations.

Part 2: BBU lightweight title fight It is always amazing to see two women who as they say are "hot blooded" a round about way of saying have short fuses, well when you add a BBU title to the mix, it makes it a whole lot more interesting.
So Elisabetta Gregoraci came in this fight unbeaten after 7 fights, all by impressive knockouts it has to be said, it could be argued in a very similar vein to what Alessandra has done in her career.
The champion Alessandra was after making her fourth title defence and while she has lost in the FCBA, she has never lost in the BBU either, leading to both these women having a lot to prove to each other and the world.
The prefight build up saw both women throw insults and if not for security, they would have thrown fists quite clearly as they got right into each others faces.
The fight itself started off scruffily as both women threw bombs that found mostly air, till the champion took some control by working the body of her challenger.
But Elisabetta came back at the champ, giving her a taste of her power as she actually bullied Alessandra around the ring to stunned looks at ringside, including I have to admit my own look of shock.
After Elisabetta dominated the middle rounds, Alessandra had to switch up her tactics, using her jab more and her footwork, Elisabetta wasn't having the success she had earlier.
It led to a shocking moment in the fifth; Elisabetta became too open as she looked to land another power punch to knock out Alessandra, instead it was the champion countering with a hell of an uppercut that landed flush, rocking the challenger for a follow up two hook combo that put her lights out.
Once the fight was over, there was still some follow up between the women, after Elisabetta was sat on her stool and helped to waken up, Alessandra decided to taunt her, leading to coaches nearly getting into it.
Elisabetta came into the fight with the wrong mindset, while physically she is by far in my eyes the best fighter, I mean look at her abs! This woman can go!
But Alessandra showed why she is a champion, she adapted to being bullied, something that rarely happens and she got the knockout to keep the gold belt, hopefully Elisabetta watches the fight over and learns from that.
While Alessandra has a big match in the BBU coming up; her and the FCBA champion Yvonne Strahovski have been feuding for the past few months, leading to them fighting in the FCBA and Yvonne getting the win.
Well now the rematch is happening here in the BBU in less then two weeks, the fact that it is a fight to a knockout finish with unlimited rounds is just the cherry on top.

Part 3: Dua Lipa vs Monika Pietrasinska This feud started because of rumours; after Monika had been sacked from the Girls Friday stable, Monika had supposedly heard that Dua was replacing her, though Dua has been denying that fact.
It got heated to say the least, which meant that it had to be settled in the ring, could Dua could her unbeaten record alive against an opponent who wanted to rip her head off?
The fight started off with Dua getting a bit of a reality check; this was her toughest opponent so far in her career and she found that out the hard way when Monika was aggressive from the off, not letting the youngster feel her way into the fight.
Dua after the first two rounds started to get some rhythm, getting her footwork going and jab as she danced around Monika.
Back and forth went the fight, with Dua getting her nose bloodied by a right hook across her nose, but she kept going and had Monika's body reddened up.
Round seven was where the fight turned into the hands of one fighter, Monika got caught with an uppercut that put her on her backside.
Monika tried valiantly to make a fight of it, but in round eight; two stiff hard right hooks put her down and this time she couldn't beat the count.
Now Dua is unbeaten in seven, some are talking already about her being in a title fight, it might be too early for that but physically you'd have to say that Dua physically could prove very dangerous to the champion Alessandra Ambrosio.
While Monika has really lost steam in her own career, ironically you can see parallels in the fighters early careers, Monika was unbeaten when she got a title shot against Malika Menard, since she lost last year, it has been only a downward slope, so Dua should be careful what she wishes for.

Final part: Elodie Frege vs Vera Brezhneva The bantamweight division has really been heating up the past few months, with Helen Flanagan defending her BBU title next month against Nadia Forde, the winner will have plenty of women to choose for their next title defence.
Two women that could be argued on that list are Elodie and Vera, so this fight had a lot of importance, a loss could push the loser right down the line, while the fighter had to be right near the front of the line.
Elodie started off the stronger of the fighter, Vera surprisingly shocked me as she didn't use her usual bullying tactics, instead she showed Elodie a lot of respect.
But by round two; Vera got into gear, battering Elodie back as the suspect defence of the French star showed it's ugly head.
Elodie did come back in the fourth; though it didn't last long as Vera's power took back control of the fight, nearly leading to a knockdown in round five as she got wobbled by a barrage of punches that knocked her head around.
Round six saw the end for Elodie; I agree with my gal Denise Van Outen that the fight should have been stopped by the Latin Union corner, Elodie was in no real shape to continue and it was proven as she was put down finally and the fight was over.
So Elodie lost again, she is a bizarre fighter to follow, she has several big wins over girls like Clara Morgane and Lea Seydoux, so she can win big fights but her defence is so shaky that she has is too easy to hit, she needs to get that sorted if she wants to be in the title fights.
While Vera had to be in the title hunt, another big win on her CV and only people like her bitter rival Doda might be slightly ahead of her right now, it is honestly hard to guess where anyone is right now at the top of the chase for a title shot.
All Vera can keep doing is winning till she gets a shot, the way she is going it will take a hell of a fighter to stop this run.
So that is today's show; I hope you enjoyed it and I want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to read these posts, remember we are back next Sunday at our usual time.

BBU TV lead reporter calls from her office: "There's nothing wrong with Elisabetta's mindset, Tom! She's build to knock people out, not wear them out! She gave Alessandra enough problems to make me think someone like Dua Lipa could end this Brazilian reign next! This being said, I hear a LOT of rumours about Dua! These Girls Friday have gone very silent all of the sudden! They don't return my calls lately! Boo!" Yours truly, DVO
