TESS VALMORE
LARSON/S. MITCHELL Larson is off to a good start in her FCBA career winning four of her first five. She is facing a one time champion who has vastly more experience. Age and size are not factors. I have to go with the experience. Mitchell will win
J. COLEMAN/PALLET Both fighters have been successful in both the BBU and the FCBA. Coleman puts more emphasis on the BBU, but she has been a little more successful than Pallet in both. Coleman is a little bigger and a little younger. Lest I forget, the two have fought twice before. Coleman won both. She will win this one also making it a threepeat.
CHOPRA/KOSARIN Chopra went 1-2 last year and can be considered a middle of the pack fighter. Kosarin on the other hand seems to be a bantam on her way up. She is on a seven fight win streak with victories over some top talent including a couple lightweights. She is also sixteen years younger. Kosarin by a KO
RIGHETTI/BOCK Bock was the winner of a New Blood Tournament which as I have said before, tells you nothing. Remember the rule. I don’t bet against Amanda. Righetti by a KO
STEINFELD/MARRONE Steinfeld’s career is going nowhere. She has lost her last four and six out of seven. Marrone has only had one fight which she lost She is slightly smaller and 13 years older than Steinfeld. Steinfeld should win by a KO. If she doesn’t she should find an alternative form of exercise
C. MENDES/M. WILLIAMS Mendes has had four fights. That is exactly 200 less than the Hall Of Fame member. Williams is bigger, but quite a bit older. It’s youth vs experience and proven ability. This will be a learning experience for Mendes although not exactly pleasant. Williams by a KO
E. HENSTRIDGE/KRUEK Henstridge has been sensational since coming over from the BBU. She won eleven straight before losing to Hale in the January PPV. Kruek is a three time unified champion, but her last title was almost ten years ago. She hasn’t been all that active recently having six fights in the last three years, losing four. I don’t like to bet against the Consortium, but I think Kruek’s time is past. Henstridge by a KO
SCODELARIO/W. HOLLAND Scodelario is another import to FCBA. She has a great 2017 going 10-1, however she lost her first bout of this year. Holland wasn’t very active last year having only two buts of which she won one. The two have fought twice before with Scodelario winning both. I see no reason why she won’t win this one also. Scodelario by a KO
AMBROSIO/REFAELI Ambrosio has pounded her way into the top ten by going 9-2 in the FCBA last year and winning her first bout of the year. Refaeli had a winning year last year before being cut by oddman. She won her first fight of the year. Size and age are not factors. I going to with Ambrosio to win
M.RYAN/AZALEA Azalea has a winning record by beating second tier fighters but losing to good ones. She is younger and has a three inch height advantage. Ryan didn’t have a good year in 2017 going 4-6 but she fought top competition. I think Ryan will win by a KO
RHODA/K. PERRY Perry won her first bout of the year and is on a six fight win streak fighting a Front Street schedule. Rhoda won her first bout of the year after going 9-3 last year and holding the title. Rhoda is younger, three inches tall er and has fought by far the better competition. Rhoda is a welter. Perry fights at lightweight. I think this is going to end badly for Perry. Rhoda by a KO
CYRUS/KUNIS Cyrus was 1-1 last year and won her first bout of the year. Kunis was 1-2 last year but won her first bout this year. Cyrus is in Chimera. Kunis is in the Consortium. That’s all you need to know. Kunis by a KO
E. WATSON/BILSON Watson and Bilson are both competitive fighters in second tier category. Watson didn’t have a good year last year going 1-3. however she won her first bout this year, Bilson is worse. She has lost six straight and last won in 2014. She has beaten Watson once before. She won’t do it this time. Watson wins by a KO as Bilson loses her seventh straight
RATAJKOWSKI/A. BENSON JMD
GIBBS/MEGAN Gibbs is a member of the Vixens that has had one fight which she won. Eva Marie is a wrestler. That’s not exactly encouraging. I’m not big on wrestlers in the FCBA. Let’s just say I hope Gibbs wins and Eva Marie goes away. Gibbs by a KO
M. FOX/SEYDOUX On the list of bouts I was given this was not listed as a title bout. The fact that Fox has reeled off fifteen consecutive wins and six title defenses is totally perplexing. Seydoux is a very good fighter who didn’t fight in the FCBA last year and lost her first FCBA bout this year. She certainly could beat Fox, but I have gotten a headache from banging my ahead against the wall looking for Fox to lose. I predict she will win and lets see how that works out
KEEGAN/L. COLLINS Keegan comes into this bout on a four fight win streak. Collins enters with a nine conventional fight win streak. Collins is also a little bigger and a little younger. I think Collins will win by a KO and take her winning streak to ten
KRSMANOVIC/G. ATKINSON Krsmanovic is one of the more promising young welters. She had a good year last year although her competition was not always grade A. She lost a title bout in January. Atkinson has been around for ten years. She held the title last year. She has since lost four straight. I have a feeling Atkinson has now seen better days and is going into decline. Krsmanovic by a KO
LIND/B. THORNE JMD
KANE/MAYBERRY Poor Adelaide! You have to wonder why she is still around. She has now lost ten straight. Mayberry has never won a fight losing two. This is a fight where both could lose. Well OK, Kane is four inches taller. I will give her the nod to win by a decision
WINSTEAD/TORV Torv is stepping out of the comfort zone of the Asylum to take on Winstead. Torv had a poor 5-2 record at the Asylum. That’s poor for the Asylum. Winstead has winning record and can possibly get into the 100 fight club and has been a unified champion once, She fights a grueling schedule. A schedule harder than a big majority of fighters. There two have never fought. I think Winstead will win
CHERYL. COLE/HALE Two top ten flyweights. In Boxing Worlds last rankings Hale came in at six and Cole at ten. Cole has won nine of her last eleven. Hale hasn’t been that busy going 2-2 last year and starting the year by beating Henstridge. The two have fought once before with Hale winning by a KO. This could be one of the better fights of the night. I think Cole will get revenge for the earlier loss by a KO
SCHERZINGER/BLUNT Blunt is a seldom used fighter. She has had three fights in the last three years, two of which were in the BBU. Her last FCBA win was back in August 2014. Scherzinger is now 41, but at least she is staying active. She had four bouts last year winning two. I have to go with the active fighter. Scherzinger will win
STRJID/IVANOVIC Strjid is a newbie who had five bouts in 2017 winning three but basically being unremarkable. Ivanovic has been around for ten years, A retired tennis player she has fought mainly tennis players. She averages one fight a year and has a 4-6 record. I’ll go with Strjid because she is blonde
M. KELLY/DENNINGS I have always like Minka. She is a very good fighter, but had a disappointing year last year going 4-3. That’s disappointing for her. Her opponent has gone twelve fights without a defeat. Dennings has won eleven and was held to a draw in one. Although Minka is getting a little old I don’t think it is time to go just yet. Kelly will win
LAWRENCE/TAILOR I thought Lawrence was moving to welter. My bad because Tailor is a lightweight. She won a New Blood Lightweight Title and has had five fights winning four. Her last three wins were by KO4. I don’t see her causing Lawrence too many problems even though Lawrence has lost four of her last five conventional bouts. Lawrence by a KO
C. HOLT/MUNN Four or five years ago Holt was the next big thing. She put up a 11-2 record. She held the title in 2015. In the last two years, her world seems to be falling apart. She has lost seven of her last ten and had lost her last three. Munn is somewhat similar. For seven years she put up winning years and held a title. In the last three years she has gone 4-8 and she is now 36. I think the end is in sight. I think Holt will win
EVIGAN/ORRANTIA Orrantia has won six of her ten career bouts after coming up in 2016. Evigan has won seven of her last ten. Her last win in May 2017 was over Orrantia. I think she will repeat Evigan by a KO
ROBBIE/BENNET For the bantam title. Robbie got a title shot by winning seven of her last eight and the last four straight. Bennet has won ten straight including three title defenses. I never really thought of Bennet being a champion but here she is. I think she will remain champion winning by a KO
STRAHOVKSI/KENDALL JENNER For the lightweight title. Let me make one thing clear. I like Kendall Jenner. It has nothing to do with the Daily Mail. She has put up a great record and defended her title four times. Strahovski happens to be one of my favorites. She is a three time unified champion and has a good shot at the Hall Of Fame, however, the clock is ticking as she will be 36. This should be a good bout. I go with my favorite. Strahovski will be the new champion
T. ATKINSON/H. FERGUSON For the welterweight title. Atkinson has had seven conventional bouts in her brief career. Two of those bouts were against lightweights. She has fought Ferguson three times in conventional bouts losing two. She has beaten Upton two of three. Ferguson is on a seven fight win streak. Her last loss was to Atkinson which she avenged in November. I go with Ferguson to retain the title
LARSON/S. MITCHELL Larson is off to a good start in her FCBA career winning four of her first five. She is facing a one time champion who has vastly more experience. Age and size are not factors. I have to go with the experience. Mitchell will win
