TESS VALMORE
Once again, I present this month’s edition of my much ridiculed predictions for the upcoming PPV. As usual, it is littered with cheap shots, unjustified criticism and unflattering comments. In the last round of PPVs, I went 34-7 (4 PPVs) running my total to 1092-300 or a 78% correct ratio. That high a ratio should not continue
VANDERVOORT/WINNICK Winnick is a 40 year old newbie. I fail to understand just why she is starting so late. If she had to pick a first fight, Vandervoort is a reasonable pick. She has lost five of her last six. She does however, have 68 fights under her belt, is 7 years younger and three inches taller. Vandervoort should win by a KO
KANG/HOLLAND Kang has had one fight in which she lasted about 10 minutes Holland hasn’t exactly set the world on fire. She has won two of her last five. She does have the experience. The problem is that Kang is almost four inches taller. Did Foxfire bother to check? It’s going to be a problem for Holland, but she can probably handle it against this opponent. Holland will win
HENSTRIDGE/KUNIS Henstridge burst on the FCBA last year and has won 10 of her 12 fights and is on an eight fight win streak. Kunis has won six of her last eight with her two losses being to top ten members. I usually don’t bet against the Consortium, but I have a feeling Henstridge is going to win. No rational, just feeling. Henstridge by a TKO
AMBROSIO/CUOCO Ambrosio is on a roll having won eight of nine this year and the last seven in a row over some pretty decent opponents. Cuoco’s management put her into JMDD last year, She won three of four, but since has last all three of her conventional bouts. This bout is more important to Cuoco than to Ambrosio. Her recent performances have not been encouraging. Ambrosio has an almost three inch height advantage. I would like to see Cuoco win since we inducted her into the Hall Of Fame and she is falling below the 60% win ratio, but I am not optimistic. Ambrosio will be victorious
KLOSS/KRSMANOVIC Krsmanovic has a so-so record since joining the FCBA. Kloss on the other hand has been one of the better newbies. She has a 10-3 record against better opponents and has beaten Krsmanovic once before. Kloss has been seen wearing a St Louis Cardinal baseball cap. All the more reason to think she is going to win Kloss by a KO
L. COLLINS/GOMEZ Collins has made some noise in the flyweights. She has won seven of her eight conventional bouts including a big over Hudgens. Gomez had a six fight win streak broken earlier this year. Gomez has fought the better opposition. Smackey has Collins ranked at 17 and Gomez at 20. I will go with Smackey and he is in trouble if I am wrong. Collins by a KO
RATAJKOWSKI/CHUNG You know you have accomplished something when you can oust Kim Kardashian from the number one spot on the Daily Mail No Talent Index. Unfortunately, Ratajkowski has not translated the ability to the FCBA. Smackey has her ranked at 34 in the bantams and that is being generous. Chung is on her way to nowhere and has lost five of her last six. She will lose this one also, Ratajkowski by a KO
REN/PAIGE Ren is having a good year with a 7-2 record so far. Paige is a wrestler. Quite frankly I don’t like wrestlers in the FCBA Ren will win.
C. COLE/MEESTER This is an important match for Meester. She has not gotten management since being dumped by Front Street. She needs an impressive showing. Unfortunately, she chose Cole to try and do it. Cole is on a six fight win streak. Cole by a KO
LOWNDES/KREUK Lowndes is 1-2 in conventional fights for the year with both losses being to top ten opponents. Kreuk won her only bout of the year. I go with Lowndes to win by a TKO
M. KELLY/KOSARIN Kosarin is a little unpredictable. She KOed the lightweight Blake Lively, but lost to Ashley Greene and Bennet Kelly has lost her last two. That doesn’t change my opinion of the two. Kelly by a KO
SCHERZINGER/MONTGOMERY You don’t have to tell me who thought this one up. My question is, who cares? Scherzinger is 39 and is six years younger than Montgomery, who fights about once a year. I had forgotten that Montgomery was still alive. Scherzinger is on a seven fight losing streak going back to 2015. Montgomery has lost six of her last seven. Scherzinger will finally win and lets hope it is by an early KO and get this turkey over with.
DECKER/PALICKI This could be one of the fights of the night. Palicki is a two time champion, a big hitter and a dangerous opponent. Decker is on a four fight win streak and looking to position herself to get a title fight. I think this is a 50-50 bout. I will go with Decker and won’t be surprised if Palicki pulls it out
FREEMAN/MOORE Moore is a three time champion with a losing record. She’s one of the biggest hitting welters Moore is 3-0 for the year and Freeman is 2-1. They both beat Michelle Ryan. I am going to go with Freeman to win by a KO
MARKLE/SALDANA The two have the same won/loss records and same height with Saldana being the older of the two. Markle has had only one fight this year and three last year. Saldana has had only three fights in the last six years and lost all three. I think Markle is going to win.
LEONE/UTGAARD Leone is apparently the BBU welter champ even though her record is 5-11. She has had one FCBA fight and lost it. Utgaard is off to a good FCBA start winning all of her nine fights, but you have to take into consideration she has been fighting a Front Street schedule. She’s seven years younger and three inches taller. than Leone. I think Utgaard will win by a KO
LAVIGNE/GRANDE I believe this is Avril’s first fight since coming out of retirement; Her last fight was in June 2010. She has had five fights winning exactly none. At 5’2”, she is actually bigger than her opponent. Grande is a good opponent to start off with as she has lost her last eight and hasn’t won since October of 2015. I just think a seven years of inactivity to going to prove too much for Avril to overcome. I am taking a chance on Grande. Whoever loses should consider another sport.
V. HUDGENS/S. MILLER Miller is a two time champion. Hudgens is a three time champion. They have been in the FCBA together for ten years. It’s hard to believe that this will be the first time they have fought. Hudgens is 7-3 in conventional fights this year. Miller is 2-2. Miller has a three inch height advantage. This is another 50-50 bout. A flip of the coin comes up Hudgens, Hudgens by a KO
LOVATO/LOHAN Both fool around with JMD. Lovato is 6-1 in conventional fights for the year. Lohan is 0-1. Let me be honest. I can’t stand Lohan. I don’t even want to be in the same room with her. So, I am prejudiced. Lovato by a KO
A. GREENE/MICHALKA Greene is 3-0 for the year Michalka is 1-1. The two have fought once before with Michalka winning by KO8. I see no reason to believe the outcome of this bout will be any different. Michalka by a KO
C. HOLT/DENNINGS Dennings enters this bout on a nine fight win streak. She hasn’t lost a fight in two years. Holt comes in with a 2-2 record for the year. losing her last two. She has faced better competition than Dennings and she is almost two inches taller. I hate to do it, but I have to go with Holt to win by a KO
TAILOR/G. HADID Tailor won the New Blood Lightweight Tournament earlier this year and then lost to Utgaard who is a welter. Hadid also fights a lot as a welter. She has the edge on experience and has fought better competition. I am going to have to go with Hadid
McADAMS/BELLISARIO McAdams is a four time champion. Bellisario held the title earlier this year. This will be their first bout against each other. Bellisario is having a fine year being 6-1 and winning her last two after losing the title. McAdams has had only one fight this year which she lost. McAdams is getting a little long in the tooth as she will soon be 40. Bellisario is not only younger but she is two inches taller. Bellisario will win
RIGHETTI/T. COLE This is the bout that will but Amanda Righetti in the Hall Of Fame, win or lose. Cole is no slouch. If Righetti wins we will induct her into the Hall Of Fame, a week after the PPV. If she loses we will delay her entrance so she can enter on a win. Righetti will enter the week after the PPV. Righetti by a KO
UPTON/WILLOUGHBY JMDD
KENDRICK/M. FOX For the flyweight title. Fox, to me is like Lima. I can’t believe she won the title much less defended it several times. I have been predicting she will lose and she keeps winning. Why change? Like Lima, I got to be right sometime. Kendrick takes the title
BENNET/BUSH For the bantam title. This will be Bennet’s first title defense. She has now won seven straight. Bush has won five straight. Bush has the edge in experience, but Bennet is younger and taller. I go with Bennet to keep the title
RHODA/FERGUSON Once again, as has happened so often in the past, the welters are starting to be dominated by a handful of fighters. These are two of them. Rhoda has now won thirteen of fourteen and her last five. Ferguson, who also fights at JMDD, has won thirteen of fifteen The two engaged in a title fight earlier this year with Ferguson winning by a KO8. I go with Ferguson to repeat and take the title
Once again, I present this month’s edition of my much ridiculed predictions for the upcoming PPV. As usual, it is littered with cheap shots, unjustified criticism and unflattering comments.
