Tom Hilton: Hello ladies and gentlemen, we have had an interesting week of JMD action and a soap opera derby between EastEnders and Emmerdale.
We also got the news on the next PPV, it is taking place on Wednesday with Cheryl Cole defending the BBU flyweight title against Marnie Simpson.
But we are starting this weeks Real View by talking about Imogen Thomas fighting Helen Flanagan in a JMD rules beach fight.
Before moving on to talk about Melissa Suffield and Fiona Wade, both had a lot of pride on the line as the loser would get humiliated by the winner.
Then we preview the fight between Ola Jordan and Zara Holland, both are in interesting times in their career, they both could get big fights with a win here.
Finally we have a very special interview, Marti's Maulers manager Tamzin Outhwaite stopped by to talk to our wonder interviewer Michelle Joy Phelps.

Part 1: Imogen Thomas vs Helen Flanagan JMD It wasn't long ago that Imogen was the BBU bantamweight champion, now she seems to be in trouble as she can't get a run of results going.
While Helen was the opposite; she struggled to get wins together, now she is the BBU bantamweight champion and is hoping to expand into JMD fighting clearly.
So the question was could Imogen upset Helen and give her that first defeat this year, with her eyes on the prize judging by the way she took the fight to Helen.
The range advantage Imogen had allowed her to keep Helen back, it's something Helen is used to, but with it being JMD rules it was harder for her to get in close.
She found a way though and Imogen struggled to match the intensity of her opponent, allowing Helen to drive her back with uppercuts under the jugs of the Welsh fighter.
Round 4 saw Helen force Imogen to take a knee, Imogen was close to tears then as she cradled her boobs, they looked red from barrage they took.
The next round was where Imogen gave up on her knees, she was in tears as she was beaten badly in the end, Helen punished her with a jug smother afterwards to cement a terrible night for Thomas.
Imogen showed off how good she can be early on; problem is like her run of wins, she can't sustain pressure in fights and once caught out, she doesn't seem to have that drive to come back at opponents.
I'd love to see her find that something missing because she was a great champion, but sadly the longer things continue this way, the less likely they will change to be better.
Helen on the other hand deserves all the plaudits, she has really fulfilled her potential that people saw in her when she started her career, it was a bumpy road but one that seems to have forged a great champion.
Only issue is that she has a title defence against Doda coming up before the end of the year, that will be a blockbuster fight between two women who could easily be the fighter of the year in the bantamweight division.

Part 2: Melissa Suffield vs Fiona Wade To think a year ago Melissa had become the forgotten woman of the Marti's Maulers stable, now with them rebuilding; she has been given a chance to shine, though she doesn't seem to have grabbed that chance with both hands.
Meanwhile Fiona has had an interesting year, winning early in the year to help make a big time soap opera fight with Roxanne Pallett, it ended with them fighting in the quickly becoming famous barn and her losing to Roxane.
So this fight while not of big name quality yet, was full of personal pride and as it turned out, a contract with the stipulation that whoever lost got spanked in the ring center by the winner.
The opening round showed how personal this had become in the build up, both were cut as they launched at each other in a wild brawl.
Fiona looked to have calmed things down as she outboxed the top aggressive Melissa, till she was put down in round 3 by a hard hook, needing to show toughness to get up and continue on.
Melissa threw everything and the kitchen sink it seemed in the fourth, showing her youthful tenacities to just try bashing her way to victory, problem was Fiona was using her footwork and good guard to stay out of trouble.
It led to Fiona taking control of the round; Kara Tointon in the Marti's corner was livid as she watched her fighter give up ground after arguably should have finished the fight earlier.
The more things went wrong for Melissa, the more she tried to throw bombs then box her way back into the fight, making the older by over a decade Fiona look the young star of the two as she looked much fresher.
Round 9 was where the end came; Fiona simply flogged the body of Melissa, till she fell to her knees in a heap and the referee counted her out.
Her humiliation wasn't over of course and well if you want to see that go watch the fight, I'm not going to go over the details of that.
What I will go over is how does a woman in her early twenties run out of steam so easily? I know the Marti's have invested well in coaching, but maybe a nutritionist is needed and well Kara probably needs to teach Melissa what she needs to do to adapt.
Fiona isn't a bad fighter; so no shame in losing to her, the issue is the manner it happened, something I expect will be gone over in the build up to her next fight, which I hear if talks go well would be Stephanie Davis, neither in winning form, so that should be an interesting fight.
Fiona meanwhile shouldn't obliviously be forgotten, she showed why she is dangerous in this fight, while not the biggest puncher and not the quickest in the division, she is smart the way she uses her jab to measure up opponents, it allowed her this fight to score regularly and build up to the knockout.
Hopefully we see Fiona again soon, though I still only see her ceiling as a gatekeeper, maybe her and Marti's biggest new star Sydney Craven would be a good fight someday?

Part 3: Ola Jordan vs Zara Holland preview This will be taking part on the PPV on Wednesday, this won't be the biggest fight on the card but it might be the most interesting to see how both fighters come out of it.
Ola needs to keep winning at this stage of her career, while she is super fit due to her dancing, she isn't getting younger and if she wants to be a flyweight champion in her life, well she needs to get on a run because right now she is getting average results.
Across the ring will be the first Miss UK to be stripped of that title, so Zara is controversial, though she really is a sweetheart when talking to her.
One place she isn't a sweetheart is the ring, where her only defeat was in her debut to Charlotte Crosby, that was when she was a free agent; now she has management, she has won 5 straight and has to be in the title race, so this could be the fight that puts her front and center in that race.
Let's match up the fighters then, Zara has the physical advantage in terms of build, she is bigger by an inch but more importantly she is someone who fights between flyweight and bantamweight, so power will be to her advantage.
She is also younger by 13 years, though as Fiona Wade showed that doesn't mean a thing, all it means here is that Ola has much more experience, having 24 fights to Zara's 6.
For Ola to win; she is going to need to use her footwork, jab to measure and annoy Zara into making mistakes before she either stops her or wins on points.
Personally I am going with Zara's power to be the difference, I think she will be able to close down Ola and knock her out.
The longer it goes though the more the odds go against her, so Zara will need to finish the fight early or that title shot will be away in the distance.

Final Part: Marti's Maulers interview Michelle Joy Phelps: hey guys; we very rarely get to interview a manager, in fact the only one who did was the Sirens wonderful manager, we'd love to have them back for the record for a follow up interview.
But I am honoured to be talking to one of the toughest I'd say managers, the Marti's Maulers manager Tamzin Outhwaite is here with us.
Tamzin: Hello Michelle.
Michelle: now Tamzin; this past year has seen by far your biggest change to your stable, gone are a lot of old faces, in comes fresh young talent and a top coaching staff, what was the thing that spurred you decide to make those changes?
Tamzin: Well! the reality was we had an ageing stable,some had reached their shelf life,and others that we had high hopes for such as Natalie Gumede hadn't proved their potential,so tough decisions had to be made.
Michelle: OK; the one thing people like myself and others within the reporters network all agree upon is that you have made some interesting young signings, how did you come to finding these talents? Did you personally scout them or were they told to you by a close friend?
Tamzin: Some of these where scouted by the management team,others were recommended by one of our existing fighters Shona McGarty who has a lot of contacts within the Eastenders network.
Michelle: with these new faces; we know that there is some tension as there always will be between new stablemates, how do you plan on keeping these women from becoming unruly and destroying the harmony within training camps?
Tamzin: That's a great question Michelle,youngsters bring energy which if honed correctly is a vital ingredient in the BBU environment,of course animosity will occur,Amy and Louisa were bytching about who was the biggest wimp in the stable,so we let them get the gloves on and decide it in the ring.
Sydney and Melissa got into a scrap during a sparring session,and well Kara and Jill wanted to break it up, I let the whippersnappers vent their steam.
We want the girls to realise that this aggression is what makes good fighters, but it has to be controlled,hopefully now they have unleashed their anger they will both settle down to the task in hand,if not then they'll have to settle their differences in the ring.
Michelle: your stables average is 24; by far the youngest in the BBU and only the Wannabes stable in the FCBA at 22 is younger then your stable, do you see this as a long term project or expect gold by say sometime next year?
Tamzin: It is a definite decision to target young promising fighters, as a stable we are in this for the long haul, however if a title shot was to come our way then it would be daft to look a gift horse in the mouth, you will have noted that the Maulers are targeting the flyweight division, Cheryl Cole and Jenna Coleman have been fantastic,but they can't go on for ever,and when they leave the scene the flyweights will open up to a new generation,the Mauler that is making a big noise is Sydney Craven if any of our girls can go all the way she's the one.
Equally at bantam, Shona McGarty is boasting a decent record,and she pushed Lacey Turner to the edge last time out,also Danielle Harold is a shrewd capture from Beever's Babes she has the tools it's just putting the pieces together,our new signing Tilly Keeper is too early too judge yet but we have confidence from her sparring and workouts that she has the ethos to succeed.
On the sole lightweight Jasmine again she is very raw but given time and nurturing we feel she can contend,but it's baby steps initially after all she's still only 19.
We may yet have more new blood to announce before the end of the year,but that's not confirmed.
Michelle: cool; on a personal note, do you miss being in the ring yourself?
Tamzin: Not really Michelle i only had 3 BBU bouts,but the most important for me was beating Sam Womack,that settled who the toughest blonde on the square was.
Michelle: the final question as sadly we are running out of time; do you think that your stable can be truly one of the biggest in the BBU in future or do you see yours always being the underdogs?
Tamzin: I don't know if we'll be the biggest but as the saying goes to quote the great Mark Twain "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."
Michelle: sadly that is all the time we have, I want to say a big thank you to Tamzin and to everyone watching today's show, the Real View will be back next Sunday as always.

It's perfect timing that a flyweight title fight happens on the same card since I'm going straight at these Geordie sluts to grant myself a title shot! Because Ola Jordan is going DOWN like a cheap blonde she truly is! They took my crown before but I'm a born WINNER!!! So, either Cheryl or Marnie should be ready for my parade next! This image suits me a lot!!!
