TESS VALMORE
Once again, I present this month’s edition of my much maligned predictions. As usual it is littered with unflattering comments, cheap shots and unjustified criticisms. Last month I went 43-13 in predictions running my total to 3018-898 or 78% correct.
STEINFELD/SWEENEY. Steinfeld has a career record of 8-12. She was 2-2 last year with both of her wins being against Panabaker. Sweeney has a 11-6 career record, but has lost her first two bouts of this year. Steinfeld is 2 1/2 inches taller than Sweeney but Sweeney had fought the better schedule and is blonde. Sweeney will win
BARROS/H.DAVIS. The forty year old Barros had a terrible year last year going 1-6. Davis also had a poor year last year going 2-4. Davis fought the tougher schedule. Barros is the bigger and Davis the younger. I think this is a 50/50 fight. Davis will win.
SWIFT/HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY. Swift needs to win this fight in order to enter the Hall OF Fame after losing her last fight. Huntington-Whiteley is a tough opponent, but Taylor has the incentive. The two have fought once before with Swift winning. Swift will win and get inducted into the Hall Of Fame.
N.LIND/ELIZA TAYLOR Lind has a career record of 20-12, but has fought with a fifty percent win ratio over the last two years. Five her bouts were at JMD. Taylor is 5-1 since the beginning of last year. I think this is another 50/50 fight. I have to go with Lind. She blonde.
LEOTTA/KOSTEK. Leotta is on a roll. She has won her last seven with wins including Atwell and Krsmanovic. Kostek has won seven of her last ten but those three losses were to top five welters. While Boxing World has Kostek ranked at six in the welters, Leotta is not far behind coming in a eleven. This should be a great fight Kostek will win
A.SABATINI/J.LAWRENCE. Sabatini is another IBB welter having success. She has won eight of her last ten with the losses being Iskra Lawrence and Lawley. Lawrence comes into this bout having lost seven of her last eight. This one time welter champ and long time member of the top ten and she has lost management. She desperately needs to win this fight. She has fought the better schedule. She is older and smaller than Sabatini. Desperation overcomes ambition. Lawrence will win
DI PATRIZI/S.MITCHELL. ‘Di Patrizi has won four of her last five although I am not impressed with her opposition. Mitchell is an eleven year veteran and has held the bantam title once. She has won nine of twelve since the beginning of last year against a good schedule. Mitchell has a huge advantage is experience against good opposition. Mitchell will win.
NASTI/PUGH. Nasti has won six of her last ten against fair competition. Pugh has a 8-2 combined record and is 6-2 in the FCBA. In her last fight, she lost to Joey King, Nasti’s stableman. For Nasti, it’s important and she equal King’s performance. For Pugh, it’s revenge. I hate to pick all of IBB fights to be losers, but I think Pugh will win.
J.KING/M.B.BROWN.IBB/Lookout Stable war. King has a 10-6 career record and is 2-0 for the year. Brown is an eighteen year old recent signee by Lookout. This will be her debut. I hardly ever pick a new fighter to beat a fighter with experience. King will win
HAWKE/KYLIE JENNER IBB/Lookout Stable War Hawke has a 4-4 career record and is 1-2 for the year. Jenner has won five of her last six with one of those wins being over her sister. Kendall. I don’t think there is any question, but that Jenner will win
FRADEGRADA/STRAHOVSKI. IBB/Lookout Stable War. Fradegrada has done quite well in the FCBA wining thirteen of seventeen since the beginning of last year. This will her sixth fight of the year including two BBU fights. Strahovski is a four time lightweight champion and a member of the Hall Of Fame. She has a 72-49 record. She’s 2-4 since the beginning of last year fighting top lightweights. Fradegrada is younger and bigger. Boxing World has Strahovski ranked at nineteen in the lightweights and Fradegrada at thirty-five. That sounds about right. Strahovski wins
TATANGELO/DAY. IBB/Lookout Stable War Tatangelo has a 11-3 career record and stepped up in competition recently. She has won eight of her last ten. Day has won seven of her last ten and beat Tatangelo’s stablemate, Fradegrada. I like Tatangelo’s recent step up in opponents. I go with Tatangelo
LAMBORGHINI/LOVATO. IBB/Lookout Stable War. Lamborghini has won nine of her last ten and her last six. Lovato has won five of her last ten. This will be her first fight of the year. In her last fight of 2021.she lost to Lamborghini in a JMD fight. If lLamborghini can beat Lovato once, she can beat her again..Lamborghini goes 2-0 against Lovato
BOCCIA/UPTON. In a CBAD. IBB/Lookout Stable War. I’m prejudiced. Upton is one of my good friends. Why waste time. Upton will win.
CICCHINO/HUDGENS. IN A CBAD. IBB/Lookout Stable War. Cicchino has a 18-4 record and has beaten some good flyweights. You definitely have to say she is a comer. She, however, has lost her last two big fights to Lavigne and Michelle Williams. Hudgens has won her last eight over very good competition. Cicchino has the ability to be a champion. She also has a massive ego. Hudgens will show her she is not as good as she thinks she is.
GONZALEZ/LIPA Gonzalez is having a tough time. Her career record is 17-22 and most of the difference is in her last five fights of which she has lost four. She has been fighting a decent schedule. Lipa has a combined 40-13 record and is 19-12 in the FCBA. She has won seven of her last ten. Prediction wise Lipa has been somewhat of an embarrassment. Her fights seem to go the wrong way. Despite that am going to take a chance on Lipa
MAISE WILLIAMS/J.L.COLEMAN. Williams has a record of 11-5 in the BBU but is 13-14 in the FCBA. She is 1-2 this year after losing to Breslin and Nasti. Her opponent has a 35-10 record in the BBU and 27-13 in the FCBA. She was 5-2 last year with two of her wins being over Nasti. Coleman will win
SCODELARIO/RONAN Scodelario has a FCBA of 44-18, but has had a hard time recently losing four of her last five. Ronan was 4-1 last year, but lost her first bout this year. One of her losses last year was to Scodelario. I think Scodelario will repeat
KENDALL JENNER/PERRY. I am barred from criticizing Perry. Jenner will win
RHODA/STRIJD. Rhoda has won seven of her last ten and is ranked at four in Tractorpull’s welter rankings and at seven by Boxing World Strijd who is ranked at fifteen by Boxing World which puts her in the cannon fodder class by Tractorpull. She has won eight of her last twelve against good opposition. The two fought two years ago with Rhoda winning by a TKO. Rhoda will repeat the win.
B.THORNE/N.SCOTT. You might call Thorne the “flagship of the Dollhouse.” She has a 44-17 record, but is 6-6 since the beginning of last year. Scott has won eight of her last eleven. She took the bantam title from Thorn last year and had five successful defenses. She beat Minka Kelly in her first fight of the year. Thorne wants revenge. She won’t get it. Scott wins again.
E.ROBERTS/D.CAMERON. Roberts who was 6-2 last year lost her first two fights this year has been dropped to seventeen by Boxing World. Cameron is 11-3 since the beginning of last year and has been awarded by the seven position by Boxing World. I’m not ready to confine Roberts to the dust bin. I think she will beat Cameron
ZIEGLER/K.BELL. Ziegler made her debut in January losing to Lavigne. Bell is now forty-one years old. She has held the flyweight title thee times, the last time was. Nine years ago. She is 3-7 in her last ten with four of those fights being against Elyse Willems of which she won two. Ziegler is twenty-one years younger. That will be the difference. Ziegler gets her first win
LAVIGNE/I.GOMEZ Lavigne is having an unusually tough time recently going 5-5 in her last ten. Gomez made her debut in January last year beating Dove Cameron. That was her last fight. Her fifteen month layoff isn’t going to help her Lavigne wins.
CHERYL COLE/BEER. Cole has won seven of her last ten beating some good fighters. Boxing World has her ranked at eleven in the flyweights. Beer has lost seven of her last ten and has fallen to forty in Boxing Worlds rankings. That says it all. Cole notches another W.
MORETZ/BRESLIN. Moretz has won six of her last ten with a big win over Emma Roberts. Breslin has won eight of her last ten. One of her losses was to Emma Roberts. That really doesn’t mean much, but I am going with Moretz
M.KELLY/SWEENEY. Sweeney already has a bout on this PPV so one of them will go on a CBAD. Kelly is now 41 years of age but is closing in on the Hall Of Fame. This will be her 98th bout and it doesn’t matter if she wins or loses as she already has the win ratio. Minka has won eleven of her last thirteen. Her losses were to Scott and Olsen. Minka wins again
DOBREV/RONAN. Ronan is another who already has a bout of this PPV so one of the two will go on a CBAD. Dobrev is another LCA fighter on her way to the Hall Of Fame. She need ten fights and three wins. This will be one of those wins
KUBICKA/GADOT. Kubicka is a little unpredictable. She has won seven of her last ten beating Kerr and Hosk, but losing to Willerton. Gadot on screen antics have not transferred to the ring. She has lost six of her last ten. Kubicka wins
RAMIREZ/LOWNDES Ramirez has a 9-9 career record and is 5-5 in her last ten. She is no easy win. She has beaten Michelle Williams, Lavigne twice and Cicchino. Lowndes is a veteran of eighty-four fights and fifty two wins. She is also won five of her last ten. At the age of 34, she seems to be slowing down I certainly don’t rule out Ramirez from winning this fight. She well could, but I have to go with Lowndes.
TREVEJO/LOVATO. Lovato already has a bout on this PPV going against Lamborghini in the IBB/Lookout Stable War. One of the two will have to go in a CBAD. Trevejo made her debut in August of last year. She is 4-1 with wins over Sweeney and Ratajkowski in her two bouts this year. As noted in the first Lovato prediction, Lovato has won fifty percent of her last ten. Trevejo looks like a comer. I’m going to take a chance on Trevejo
Y.GARCIA/RUBINO. Garcia made her debut in March, five days before this prediction is being made. She beat Osorio. Rubino made her debut last December losing to Eden. I have to go with Rubino. She fought the better opponent, but most importantly she is four inches taller the Garcia. Did Garcia’s management know that?
WINTER/CARTER. Winter has won her last seven and thirteen of her last fourteen. Carter is a three time flyweight champion, her last title being nine years ago. Since being admitted into the Hall Of Fame in 2019. She has lost five of eight. She is now forty-one. Winter is seventeen years younger than Carter. At Carter’s age, I have to go with youth. Winter will pick up another win and get into the title fight chase
TAYLOR-JOY/BELLISARIO. Taylor-Joy in her brief career has risen to thirteen in Boxing World’s bantam rankings and has wins over Scodelario and Dobrev. Bellisario held the bantam title five years ago but has recently lost six of her last ten. She also eleven years older than Anya. Taylor-joy is scheduled to replace Theron as a young Furiosa in the next Mad Max movie. You really don’t want to f—k with Furiosa. Taylor-Joy will win.
RATAJKOWSKI/WEAVING. Ratajkowski is ranked at seventeen in Boxing World’s bantam rankings. Weaving is down a little way at thirty. Ratajkowski has won five of her last ten. Weaving has also won five of her last ten. Both have beaten some good opponents. Ratajkowski has more experience by a long way and is almost three inches taller. Should be a good fight. I go with Ratajkowski
L.COLLINS/HOUGH. Collins held the flyweight title seventeen months ago and has won ten of her last fourteen. This will be Hough’s first fight in two and a half years. She has lost her last six and her last win was in December 2017. Collins wins before the end of the sixth.
WATSON/BUSH. Watson held the flyweight title two years ago and is 3-1 for the year and has won six of her last ten. Bush has won five of her last ten after losing two to Weaving. Watson has fallen to nineteen in the flyweight rankings while Bush comes in at forty-four in the bantams. Watson is eight years younger and slightly taller. Age usually becomes a factor as a fighter crosses forty in age. The two have fought once before with Bush winning. That was six years ago. I have to go with Watson
TIGER FREE/MAC. Tiger Free is one of the promising new flyweights. She has a 7-1 record and has wins over Emma Watson and Joey King. Her loss was to Lily Collins in her second fight. When I saw she was fighting Mac. I thought “Who” Mac made her debut in April of last year lasting less than than four against Demi Rose and then lost management in the end of the year. I have to go with Tiger Free
PRINCESS OF THE ICE HOTEL TOURNAMENT
SWEET SIXTEEN. My understanding is that these matches have already been decided
WEAVING/DEMI ROSE—-Weaving
BECKY G/HSIEH—-Becky G
KRAVITZ/McCARTHY—-McCarthy
LARSON/SANTORO—-Larson
LOPILATO/PIETERSE—Pieterse
CHOPRA/LAMBOURGHINI—-Chopra
OLSEN/DI PATRIZI—-Olsen
KOSAIN/MADISON—-Kosarin
ELITE EIGHT. These matches have already been decided
WEAVING/BECKY G. —Becky G
McCARTHY/LARSON—Larson
PIETERSE/CHOPRA—-Chopra
OLSEN/KOSARIN—-Kosarin
FINAL FOUR
K0SARIN/CHOPRA Kosarin has won seven of her last ten after losing two straight title fights in last November to Demi Rose and to Olsen last month
During that time she beat Olsen, Weaving and Scodelario. Chopra has won eight of her last twelve with wins over Taylor-Joy, Ratajkowski and Mitchell. The two have fought three times with Kosarin winning two. Kosarin will win again
BECKY G/LARSON. Becky G has lost six of her last ten and four of five before this tournament began. Larson is a top bantam who has won eight of her last ten with wins over Olsen and Chopra. I have no doubt Larson will win
FINALE
KOSARIN/LARSON. Boxing World has Larson ranked at one in the bantams which is impressive when they put her before Bennet. They have Kosarin at six.
The two have fought once before with Kosarin winning Kosarin will be the Princess Of The Ice Hotel.
OLSEN/LYNCH. For the Unified Bantamweight Title. This will be Olsen’s second defense of her title. She has won her last twelve. Lynch has won eight of her last ten, but her opponents have been less impressive than Olsen’s. The two have fought once before with each winning. Olsen will retain the title while winning the best of three
WINSTEAD/DIDONATO. For the Unified Lightweight Championship This will be Winstead’s sixth title defense. She has won eight of her last ten with those two losses being to Taylor Swift. DiDonato has won eight of her last ten . She beat Taylor Swift last month to get this title shot. She has an impressive list of victims that includes Kendall Jenner and Kate Upton. She is younger and two inches bigger than Winstead. I’m a big admirer of Winstead. No one that I know of has fought such a tough career schedule. I think she belongs in the Hall OF Fame, but her win ratio is only 56% and at her age in extremely unlikely she will reach the 60% win ratio. There are no exceptions to the requirement to the Hall and none will be made. Well after all that, I have to say that DiDonato will end her defense string and be the new lightweight champion
RIGHETTI/I.LAWRENCE. Here’s the drill. I never beat against Righetti no matter who she fights and that includes 101st Airborne Division
UPTON/THERON. I am usually barred from predicting a Theron fight, but it is no secret I have done everything I can do to stop this fight. There are both good friends of mine. Charlize is simply too old to take on one of the best fighters in the FBCA who is seventeen years young and bigger. Upton in three or whenever she wants.
Once again, I present this month’s edition of my much maligned predictions. As usual it is littered with unflattering comments, cheap shots and unjustified criticisms. Last month I went 43-13 in predictions running my total to 3018-898 or 78% correct.

SWIFT/HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY. Swift needs to win this fight in order to enter the Hall OF Fame after losing her last fight. Huntington-Whiteley is a tough opponent, but Taylor has the incentive. The two have fought once before with Swift winning. Swift will win and get inducted into the Hall Of Fame.
N.LIND/ELIZA TAYLOR Lind has a career record of 20-12, but has fought with a fifty percent win ratio over the last two years. Five her bouts were at JMD. Taylor is 5-1 since the beginning of last year. I think this is another 50/50 fight. I have to go with Lind. She blonde.

WINSTEAD/DIDONATO. For the Unified Lightweight Championship This will be Winstead’s sixth title defense. She has won eight of her last ten with those two losses being to Taylor Swift. DiDonato has won eight of her last ten . She beat Taylor Swift last month to get this title shot. She has an impressive list of victims that includes Kendall Jenner and Kate Upton. She is younger and two inches bigger than Winstead. I’m a big admirer of Winstead. No one that I know of has fought such a tough career schedule. I think she belongs in the Hall OF Fame, but her win ratio is only 56% and at her age in extremely unlikely she will reach the 60% win ratio. There are no exceptions to the requirement to the Hall and none will be made. Well after all that, I have to say that DiDonato will end her defense string and be the new lightweight champion
RIGHETTI/I.LAWRENCE. Here’s the drill. I never beat against Righetti no matter who she fights and that includes 101st Airborne Division
UPTON/THERON. I am usually barred from predicting a Theron fight, but it is no secret I have done everything I can do to stop this fight. There are both good friends of mine. Charlize is simply too old to take on one of the best fighters in the FBCA who is seventeen years young and bigger. Upton in three or whenever she wants.
