TESS VALMORE
Once again I present this month’s edition of my much maligned predictions. As usual it is littered with unflattering comments, unjustified criticism and cheap shots. I missed updating my record with the November results. I will go back and bring that up to date. In December I went 42-12 running my total to 3544-1008 or 77.8% correct
SNOW/KRUEK. Snow just signed with Sceei. Why he signed her I have no idea. She is 36 years old with a 7-12 FCBA record. She won a fight last year which was her first win since 2012. She has been a guest at the Asylum four times. That’s never a good sign. Her opponent Kristen Kreuk is 40 years old, an inch smaller and has lost fifteen of her last sixteen fights. Snow will win
ROBBIE/KOSARIN. Robbie has a 33-30 career record and has won six of her last ten. Kosarin has a 44-17 career record and has won eight of her last ten,
She is seven years younger and two inches taller than her opponent. Boxing World has Kosarin ranked at four and Robbie at eight. That sounds right. Kosarin wins.
PALICKI/FRADEGRADA. Palicki a five time lightweight champion has had a rough time recent going 3-4 last year and losing six of her last ten. Fradegrada has a combined record of 26-11 and is 18-10 in the FCBA. She is 5-5 in her last ten FCBA fights. Fradegrada is eight years younger, but almost two inches smaller. The chin checker Palicki in seven;
PAUSINI/MCCARTHY. This is not Mac’s fault. Pausini issued the challenge. Looking for her first win in thirty three FCBA fights. She won’t get it. Mac in four.
MUDD/RICKARDS. Mudd lost her first fight to Lind five years ago. Since then she has won twenty straight. She as 6-0 last year. Rickards has a career record of 13-13, but has lost six of her last seven, all to good opponents. They are the same size, however, Mudd is seven years younger. Mudd will run her winning streak to 21.
RAMIREZ/KING Ramirez has a 12-13 record and has lost six of her last ten. King has a 10-10 career record and has also lost six of her last ten. King is younger and two inches taller. I go with height. King will win.
BECKY G/V.HUDGENS. Becky G. Has a 12-12 record and has won five of her last ten. In her last two fights, she beat Lowndes and Portman and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Vanessa Hudgens is a five time Unified Flyweight champion and is a member of the Hall Of Fame. She has won seven of her last ten. She also has a slight size advantage. I have to go with Hudgens.
TREVEJO/CULPO. The twenty years old Trevejo has a 6-6 record, but has lost her last five, all to top fighters. Culpo has a 5-5 record. but was 1-4 last year. Trevejo is twelve years younger. but is almost two inches shorter. I am going to go with Trevejo based on the fact she has fought the better competition
Y.GARCIA/H.KING. This will be Garcia’s. Fourth bout. She is 1-2 thus far. Hunter King has been in the FCBA for seven years and has a career record of 20-9. Her glory days were at Front Street where she went 17-2. Since be asked to leave Front Street, she has gone 3-7. I’m not counting Garcia out, but Hunter King should win based on experience
OLSEN/SWEENEY. This will be Olsen’s 98th fight on the way to the Hall OF Fame. She has a career record of 64-33 and has won eight of her last ten.
Sweeney has a 14-7 record and was five of her last ten against tough competition. Sweeney’s the younger and Olsen the bigger. I have to go with Olsen to move closed to her induction into the Hall Of Fame.
DIDONATO/KUBICKA. DiDonato has a career record of 58-15 and won eight of her last ten and has wins of Kendall Jenner, Winstead and Swift. Boxing World has her ranked at ten in the Tiffany Division. Kubicka has a 22-8 record and Boxing World has her ranked at Thirty two and has won seven of her last ten. DiDonato is the bigger of the two. I have to go with DiDonato based competition, experience and the fact that this is not a title bout
LARSON/MCADAMS. Larson who has a career record of 33-13 was ranked at three in the bantam contenders by Boxing World. McAdams who has a career record of 59-19 and has held the Unified Bantam title four times is ranked at 41. McAdams has won six of her last ten. She is now 44 and her glory days are clearly over not to mention that Larson is three inches taller. Larson by the fifth
J.L.COLEMAN/C.COLE. Coleman has a combined record of 64-26, but is 29-16 in the FCBA. She has won six of ten in the FCBA. Cole has a combined record of 76-43 and is 48-17 in the FCBA. She has won seven of her last ten. Boxing World has Cole ranked at twenty two in the flyweight rankings while Coleman comes in at thirty six. The two have fought twice with each winning one. Cole will win the best of three.
DAY/SARAYA. Day has a career record of 15-8 and has won seven of her last ten. I do not find Saraya or Paige in the index. Day will win
MORETZ/HALE. Moretz has a 25-20 career record, but had a good record last year going 7-3. Hale is a twelve year veteran with a record of 38-41. She has lost seven of her last ten. Moretz is younger and bigger. She will win
KRUPA/ALBA Alba’s days are long over. Since the beginning of 2015, she has lost fifteen out of seventeen bouts. Krupa has won seven of her last ten and will win this one.
ALDRIDGE/KAWALEC. Aldridge has a 23-14 record, but has lost five of her last ten fighting fairly good competition. Kawalec has a 4-7 FCBA record. She had two fights last year, losing both. They are the same size, but Kawalec is eleven years younger. Usually I go with youth. This time I have to go with experience
I think Aldridge will win.
DECKER/HORST. Horst has a career record of 2-3. Horst is slightly older than Decker and slightly smaller. Decker is a three time Unified champion and is currently ranked at five in the welters. Horst will get a little experience and it will be painful as Decker wins her 97th fight,
CHOPRA/SCODELARIO Chopra has a career record of 33-21 and she is coming off a great 9-1 year. Scodelario has a career FCBA record of 48-19 and has won five of her last ten. Chopra is now forty years old. Scodelario is ten years younger. The two have fought once before, three years ago, with Scodelario winning. Despite Chopra’s great last year, I think the Scodelario will win.
MICHELLE WILLIAMS/PORTMAN. Forget the won/loss records. Both are in the Hall Of Fame. They are in the same stable. Between the two they hold twenty one Unified flyweight titles. Williams is an inch taller, Portman is a year younger. Williams beat Portman on her debut fight. Portman won a fight in 2020. I am going to take a chance on Portman taking the best of three.
BRESLIN/LAVIGNE Breslin has a good record of 16-8, but was 5-5 last year and lost three of her last four bouts. Her opponent is one of two bantams being rushed to the Hall Of Fame. Lavigne had 21 bouts last year winning sixteen. She has won her last six. This will be her 98th bout. She will win it.
E.ROBERTS/MONER. Roberts has a 39-21 record and has won seven of her last ten against good competition. I wish management would make up their mind what this woman’s name is. Sometimes it’s Moner and sometime Merced. Any way whatever her name is, she has a 15-12 record but has lost six of her last ten. I have to go with Roberts
B.THORNE/CHARLOTA. Boxing World has Thorne ranked as the number one bantam contender. She has won eight of her last ten while defending the JMD title five successful times. Charlota has a good 9-4 record and she has won seven of her last ten and has a win and loss against Lily Collins. This could be a great fight, Thorne will win
KATIC/APRIL. Katic has done quite well since joining the FCBA at the late age of 43. She has won seventeen of her twenty one fights. She has won eight of her last ten April has a 13-2 of those only two were in the FCBA and they were both at JMD. In fact all her fights have been at JMD. April is 18 years younger than Katic, but Stana is four inches taller. I would normally to with a fighter that much younger but I like Stana’s height advantage, Stana will win
HUFFMAN/THERON. We don’t predict Theron fights
E.TURNER/N.J. ROSER. JMD
LOUISE/N.LEE. JMD
NOVA/KNIGHT This is Nova’s debut. Knight has been in the FCBA for ten years and has had four fight los ing three. I am not fond of wrestlers in the FCBA, but both are wrestlers so I will go with Nova.
TRIVIZAS/L.PEREZ. TRIVIZAS made her debut in the New Years day beach PPV winning. She appears to be a carbon copy of Demi Rose. Perez must be making her debut as I don’t find her in the index I will go with the fighter who has had a fight.
DALE/H.FERGUSON. Dale enters with a 5-3 after losing a beach fight New Years Day. She did make it to the finals in the Queen of the Ice Hotel tournament. This will be Ferguson’s 98th bout on her way to the Hall Of Fame. There is going to be a deluge of fighters into the Hall Of Fame in the first Quarter
She has won seven of her last ten against good competition. She is five inches taller than Dale. Ferguson wins
O.HOLT/ZEIGLER. Holt has a 29-12 record and is a two time Unified Flyweight title holder. She has won five of her last ten, all her losses coming at the hands of top fighters. Zeigler broke in last year with a fine 10-3. She has a three inch height advantage. I am going to go with Holt. but won’t be at all surprised if I am wrong
KENDALL JENNER/COHEN Jenner is a two time Unified Lightweight Champion and is a member of the Hall Of Fame. She has won six of her last ten. Cohen has a solid 18-7 career record. She has also won six of her last ten. One of her losses was to Jenner by a KO8 I will go with Jenner to repeat.
RHODA/I/LAWRENCE. Lawrence broke in in 2021 and has had ten fights winning eight. Her losses were to Righetti and Upton. Rhoda has a 49-18 record and has won seven of her last ten. I am not selling Lawrence short. She looks promising, but I am going to go with Rhoda
RIGHETTI/B.LIVELY Lively has come on strong recently, however you know the story. I Just don’t bet against Righetti who will win
CALIS/RIDLEY This is Calis debut. Ridley has a 15-17 record. While that not might be great, I seldom bet on a newbie. I go with Ridley. I might mention that Calis is labeled as a flyweight/bantam. I have a real problem with a 5’8” flyweight
SAGE/BENSON. Sage made her debut in 2018 and has had six fights losing three. She had a positive 2018 winning both her fights. Benson has been around since 2011 and has a 25-38 FCBA record. She beat Sage by a KO5. Since that time, she has a record of 5-10. Benson has the experience, however Sage is slightly younger and slightly bigger. I think Sage will even the score
LEVESQUE/BELLISARIO. Levesque made her FCBA debut in January, losing to Hannah Ferguson. Bellisario is another twelve years veteran with a 40-31 record and won six of ten last year. They are the same age, but Levesque is three inches taller. What concerns me is that Bellisario has spent her career fighting bantams, rarely venturing up to lightweight. Levesque has fought half of her fights at welter. I think size will matter. Levesque will win.
RITTER/TURNER. Ritter has been in the FCBA since 1013 and has a grand total of nine fights after recently being signed to a stable. Turner has a career record of 23-15 and once inhabited the top ten lightweights. She has won six of her last ten. She is fifteen years younger than Ritter. Ritter has spent almost half her career visiting the Asylum. Never a good sign. I’m afraid a 41 year old like Ritter is on the road to nowhere. Turner will win.
BERGLUND/BASSINGER. Berglund is another new signee who has been around since 2017 being busy with four fights losing three. She is fighting Bassinger who was just recently the Unified Flyweight champion. She has a 16-10 record. Berglund is slightly bigger and Bassinger slightly younger. I have to go with Bassinger.
SANTORO/N.A.LIND. Santoro has a 36-16 record and has won six of her last ten. Lind has a 23-16 record and has also won six of her last ten. Lind is ranked at 22 in the bantams while Santoro is down at 36. Santoro has a two inch height advantage. The two fought once before with Lind winning. Despite Lind’s ranking, I am going with Santoro to win
LOPILATO/ELIZA TAYLOR. Lopilato won eight of ten last year. She has a 46-17 record. Boxing World ranks her a 42 in the talent deep bantams. I can’t forget she has a couple wins over Ren. Taylor has a 10-8 career record due to a good 2021. Last year, she lost three of four. I have little doubt that Lopilato will win.
M.FOX/DORMER. Dormer will be 40 years old in February and has a 15-15 record winning five of her last ten. I’m not a big fan of Fox, but she is in the Hall Of Fame and has won eight of her last ten and is ranked at two in the flyweights by Boxing World. Fox in five or less
Taylor-Joy/A.Collins Collins is making her debut against Taylor-Joy. That’s a big mistake. Taylor-Joy won’t have a lot of problems winning this fight.
McMANN/CUOCO McMann has a 20-3 and has won nine of her last ten, losing only to Lively. Cuoco is in the Hall Of Fame, but is way past her prime. Since 2017, her record is 3-12. She is two inches shorter and eleven years older than McMann, who will win this bout in seven
KLOSS/T.HILL. To me Kloss is one of the big disappointments. She got off to a great start and looked like she was going to be a star. Instead, she is now what you might term an average welter. She’s lost six of her last ten. Hill is ranked at five by Boxing World and has won eight of her last ten with her losses being to Swift and Adgal. Hill will win
REN/CORRIGAN For the Mistress of the Body Saddle. Ren is ranked at seven in Boxing Worlds lightweight contenders. Corrigan comes in at thirty three. Ren won eight of her last ten. Corrigan has won five of her last ten with a draw included. Height and weight are not factors. I would love to see Corrigan win this fight, but I don’t believe it will happen
UPTON/STRIJD. For the Queen of the Beach. Upton is a four time Unified Welterweight champ and a member of the Hall Of Fame. She has won nine of her last ten. Strijd has a 21-12 record and has won eight of her last ten. Height and age are not factors. Upton will win
LOWNDES/SPIRANAC. JMD Title
CLAUSON/HOOPES. JMDD Title
M.B.BROWN/ORTEGA. For the Unified Flyweight Title Two young upcoming flyweights. Brown is already champion after thirteen straight wins. Ortega has won all four of her fights, but she has a serious problem in this fight. Brown is three inches taller. I think that will be the big decider. Brown will retain the title
M.KELLY/WEAVING. For the Unified Bantamweight Title. Kelly is in the Hall of Fame. She didn’t have all the good of year last year going 6-4. However that was good enough to win the title and have one successful defense. Weaving has a combined 19-11 record and is 14-10 in the FCBA. Kelly is now 42 and that is Weavings only advantage. She is twelve years younger. I doubt it will be enough
Kelly retains the title
L.JAMES/LIPA. For Unified Lightweight title. James has won seventeen straight FCBA fights. She is the undefeated champion. She went 11-0 last year beating top lightweights. Lipa has a career record of 21-12 and has won seven of her last ten. She has been in and out of the top ten. She is currently ranked at nine in Boxing Worlds lightweight contenders. She fought James at the end of 2021 and lost by a six round KO. I think the result of this fight will be about the same.
Once again I present this month’s edition of my much maligned predictions. As usual it is littered with unflattering comments, unjustified criticism and cheap shots. I missed updating my record with the November results. I will go back and bring that up to date. In December I went 42-12 running my total to 3544-1008 or 77.8% correct
SNOW/KRUEK. Snow just signed with Sceei. Why he signed her I have no idea. She is 36 years old with a 7-12 FCBA record. She won a fight last year which was her first win since 2012.

Trevejo is twelve years younger. but is almost two inches shorter. I am going to go with Trevejo based on the fact she has fought the better competition

KLOSS/T.HILL. To me Kloss is one of the big disappointments. She got off to a great start and looked like she was going to be a star. Instead, she is now what you might term an average welter. She’s lost six of her last ten. Hill is ranked at five by Boxing World and has won eight of her last ten with her losses being to Swift and Adgal. Hill will win
REN/CORRIGAN For the Mistress of the Body Saddle. Ren is ranked at seven in Boxing Worlds lightweight contenders. Corrigan comes in at thirty three. Ren won eight of her last ten. Corrigan has won five of her last ten with a draw included. Height and weight are not factors. I would love to see Corrigan win this fight, but I don’t believe it will happen
UPTON/STRIJD. For the Queen of the Beach. Upton is a four time Unified Welterweight champ and a member of the Hall Of Fame. She has won nine of her last ten. Strijd has a 21-12 record and has won eight of her last ten. Height and age are not factors. Upton will win
LOWNDES/SPIRANAC. JMD Title
CLAUSON/HOOPES. JMDD Title
M.B.BROWN/ORTEGA. For the Unified Flyweight Title Two young upcoming flyweights. Brown is already champion after thirteen straight wins. Ortega has won all four of her fights, but she has a serious problem in this fight. Brown is three inches taller. I think that will be the big decider. Brown will retain the title
M.KELLY/WEAVING. For the Unified Bantamweight Title. Kelly is in the Hall of Fame. She didn’t have all the good of year last year going 6-4. However that was good enough to win the title and have one successful defense. Weaving has a combined 19-11 record and is 14-10 in the FCBA. Kelly is now 42 and that is Weavings only advantage. She is twelve years younger. I doubt it will be enough
Kelly retains the title
L.JAMES/LIPA. For Unified Lightweight title. James has won seventeen straight FCBA fights. She is the undefeated champion. She went 11-0 last year beating top lightweights. Lipa has a career record of 21-12 and has won seven of her last ten. She has been in and out of the top ten. She is currently ranked at nine in Boxing Worlds lightweight contenders. She fought James at the end of 2021 and lost by a six round KO. I think the result of this fight will be about the same.
