Part 1: Louisa Lytton vs Tina O'Brien Both stables started understandably you can argue with two of their weakest fighters, Louisa has zero wins; which made Tina favourite going into this match.
The build up saw them confident of taking the other down, with Louisa sure this was going to be the time she finally broke her duck.
That led to an intense opening round; Tina got caught out by a fast start from her opponent, but quickly found her rhythm after a mistake from Louisa.
Tina feel into a scruffy exchange in round two, ending up getting a cut on her cheek for her troubles as Louisa dragged her into the style of fight she wanted.
Once Tina changed things up though; that was the beginning of the end for Louisa, who while physically has the looks, she has never been good at actually boxing.
Which Tina picking apart the woeful guard of her younger rival to make her a wreck, knocking her out cold in the fourth round to the delight of her fans.
Most importantly this was an opening win for the Fight Club stable, I'm not going to go into the post fight humiliation.
Louisa I can't ever see doing anything in the ring or in a coaching role, she is simply not made for the sport, she maybe could be a wrestler or I know people pay for celebrity catfighters, but this isn't her jam sadly.
While this will prolong Tina's career a little longer, maybe she will fight another of the young Marti fighters since there is plenty of bad blood, her best days are long behind her though.

Part 2: Jasmine Armfield vs Maddie Hill These are two of the less experienced fighters of both stables, from what I have heard though they would have happily fought out in the alleyway, they just wanted a piece of their rival after clashing without the gloves a few months ago.
The pressure was on Jasmine after Louisa had failed the Marti Maulers stable in the first fight of the night, I'll give her massive props that she didn't show any nerves, visibly anyway.
If you wanted proof of the hatred between these two, they flew out their corners like women processed, letting their hands go in a grandstand opening round.
Shockingly things toned down in the second round; I don't know if that was down to their coaches or the intensity of the opening round had taken something out of them.
They started to look like boxers then street fighters, Maddy looking the better on the move, landing crisp punches on the inside too when she felt ready to do so, I honestly though Hill would push the action from that point.
But Jasmine used some great footwork with her jab, her reach helped her measure up Maddie, once she was happy the heavy artillery followed and Maddie got put to sleep by a vicious right across her face.
That evened the score up to ones a piece, a sigh of relief probably bellowed out in the Marti's locker room as they finally got on the board.
It was an exciting fight while it lasted; though I'd love to see both fighters fight again when they are more seasoned, their lack of experience led them to throw the kitchen sink from the off, which wasn't that wise for their health.
Jasmine continues to show some good skills, mixed with her power punches, she needs to leave her temper at home as Maddie exploited it in the second round.
Meanwhile ironically Maddie got dragged into a slugfest when she shouldn't have in the opening round, she showed some great inside skills after being smart on getting where she wanted.

Part 3: Tilly Keeper vs Brooke Vincent Going into this fight both women's stocks were going in different directions, Tilly started her career looking impressive compared to the more experienced Brooke, who while she gave Olympia Valance a hard time in her last fight, she hasn't won in several years.
The ironic is with this fight is that the coaches Jill Halfpenny and Charlie Brooks seemed to have more issues then the two who were about to exchange fists.
This was the fight of the night; a great clash of styles as Tilly looked to do to Brooke what she'd done in her early days, rush her opponent down to force a mistake from them.
Instead Brooke showed some good boxing skills, maybe she has been working hard over the Christmas period as she definitely has shown improvement.
Rounds six and seven saw knockdowns for both, Brooke first put down Tilly, who angrily got revenge in the seventh to even that score up.
Which was a hint of the ending; with the fight going the distance, a draw was what the judges came back with, so the stable war was still tied one to one going into the final two fights.
I had the fight slightly to Brooke 95-94, but can definitely see why it was called a draw, this is a rematch I think we all want to see again, though I don't blame both women wanting to fight other people first.
Tilly got a lesson though in this fight, she has the experience of going the distance now, though plenty of things that she needs to learn.
Brooke on the other hand needs to take confidence from her last two performances, she might be finally getting what was wrong in her game, time will tell if Brooke can step forwards in her career positively.

Part 4: Melissa Suffield vs Rebecca Ryan I have to say this shows the lack of depth in the Fight Club stable to a degree, Rebecca's lack of success in the ring isn't what you want when heading into the home stretch of a stable war.
Now don't get me wrong; Melissa hasn't proven to be a world beater, she has been up and down but the odds were firmly on her side.
Surprisingly Rebecca was the one to start off the better fighter, with Melissa throwing too many wild shots as she looked for the finish early.
By the second round though Rebecca was caught in the firing line, Melissa hammering her around the ring in what can only be dubbed an arse whooping.
The third was where Melissa finally put Rebecca out of her misery, just pounding her face till Rebecca collapsed to the canvas.
That put Marti's Maulers ahead in the stable war, with one fight to go after this one, so Melissa will likely be getting a lot of praise when she returns to their camp.
She looked good by the end of this fight, but this wasn't a good fight to measure her by, Rebecca is simply not good enough to be in the ring.
Hopefully this is the last time Rebecca is in the ring for her safety, she can't take a hit and doesn't have much of a base to build off, I don't like saying things like this but I don't want her getting hurt badly.

Final Part: Danielle Harold vs Lacey Turner I can tell you the mood around the arena was interesting to say the least, murmurs in the crowd were wondering if Marti's Maulers could win the war in the final fight or if Fight Club UK could tie things up.
This was maybe the most interesting fight to follow from the standpoint of how good both fighters are, Danielle is young and while she hasn't been too impressive, she has had some good wins in her career.
Across the ring from her was Lacey, who lost her undefeated streak against Olympia Valance in her last fight, so a few questions on how she would react to a taste of defeat was what we wanted to see.
Threats were thrown by both women before the fight, neither looked ready to back down as they scowled across the ring at the other.
Once that bell rung they definitely came to play; Danielle the quicker up on her toes compared to the more power centric style of Lacey.
It was speed that won the early pitch battles, with Lacey not able to unload as she wanted due to that lack of mobility.
Leading to Lacey suffering a knockdown in round three, she beat the count but was clearly miffed at being caught so cleanly by her younger opponent.
But Danielle made a massive mistake; instead of relying on what brought her to the dance, she started to stand to trade with Lacey, playing to the wheelhouse of her opponent.
Who ended up opening a nasty cut on the face of Danielle, leading to Danielle having a bullseye that Lacey was more then happy to use, with the blonde getting knocked out in the fifth by Turner.
That made the war two's a piece, which I know will lead to more fights between these two rival stables in future, already I have heard discussions are taking place between both sets of managers, those talks are far from friendly though to say the least.
This fight showed though that Danielle has plenty more seasoning needed, yes going for the knockouts are what us fans want, when you are winning by relying on speed though, the last thing you do is abandon that for no reason at all.
While Lacey will be smiling all the way to the bank, this returns her back on the road towards the title shot she wants, with her punching power she always has a chance at upsetting odds.
Her biggest issue continues to be the lack of good footwork, she plants her feet hoping to catch these taller fighters, which will lead to problems when she steps up in class again.
That's all we have time for guys; I hope you enjoyed the show, a massive thank you for reading these posts and we hope to see you next Sunday for the next Real View.
