TESS VALMORE
Once againI I present tis month”s edition of my much ridiculed predictions. As usual It may be littered with cheap shots, unjustified criticism and unflattering comments. In last month’s PPVs I went 31-14 running my total to 1266-355
KRSMANOVIC/RIGHETTI Krsmanovic comes into this bout on a high after a big win over Rhoda in the March PPV. Righetti comes in on the opposite track suffering a disappointing loss to T. Atkinson in a title bout on the same card.
No matter. You know the drill, I never bet against Righetti. Righetti by a KO
FREGE/SEYDOUX Age and size are not factors but Frege has a big edge in experience, most of it painful The two have fought twice before with each winning one. Seydoux will win this fight by a KO around round 5
HEARD/Z. COLEMAN Heard had four fights last year and won them all. She seems to prefer fighting on mini-PPVs. Coleman has had five fights in her career and lost three of them. She has fought the better competition and one of her two wins was over Heard. Coleman, who is two inches bigger, repeats with another win
HALE/PALLET Pallet has won six of her last seven and her last four. Hale is 1-1 for the year and 3-3 since the beginning of 2017. Hale has fought the better competition. Age and size are not factors. I think Hale will win this bout by a KO
ATWELL/PALICKI Atwell has spent a lot of time at JMDD, but has a very good 8-4 FCBA record. She was 2-1 in conventional fights last year. Palicki has lost three of her last five although the losses were to top ten fighters. I like Palicki here. Know why? She is five inches taller and a big hitter. Palicki by a KO
BENSON/WATSON Benson has not been overly impressive. She is 3-5 recently with wins over tier two opponents. Watson was 1-3 last year, but seems to have turned things around and has won three fights this year. I go with Watson by a KO
S. CARTER/E. HENSTRIDGE This will be Carter’s 95th fight. She could possibly get into the Hall Of Fame this year. Her win percentage is barely good enough for the Hall. She simply can’t afford any losses. She hasn’t been sharp recently having lost her last four. Henstridge had an eleven fight in streak broken in the January PPV but has since won two. I think Henstridge will seriously hurt Carter’s Hall chance. Henstridge by a KO
BRYNE/CHASTAIN The last two years Bryne has been fighting in the BBU. Her last FCBA bout was in December 2016. Her FCBA record is 1-4. Chastain has in 3-0 record fighting in the friendly confines of the Dollhouse PPV’s. Her wins have been over tier 3 fighters which is fine as she is kind of old and new. I really don’t have a feeling for this one. I will go with Chastain
HOUGH/M. FOX Hough comes into this bout with an excellent 21-9 record, but has had only one fight in nearly the last two years. You have to wonder why a manager would seem to forget he has this kind of fighter in his or her stable, I don’t think it is necessary to go into Fox’s incredible victory run. What’s interesting here is that Hough beat Fox back in 2014 so Fox’s management schedules this fight as non-title just in case Fox loses. No need to worry. I think Fox will win
REN/SWIFT Both have winning records. The wins of both have been over average fighters and losses for the most part to good fighters. Swift has the advantage of experience and is three inches taller. I like that height advantage. Swift will win
ITSINES/SANTORO I really have no idea who Itsines is other than she is some kind fitness person who does something on Instagram and is called a “celebrity” I have never been on any social networking site and never will be, so I really don’t know what goes on or really care. To term her a celebrity? Well go out on the street and ask folks who Kayla Itsines is and see how many blank looks you get. Well enough of this rant. I think this is Santoro’s first fight of the year. It will be her first win
SAGRA/REFAELI Sagra is apparently another of those fitness “celebrities” She has burst on the FCBA scene big time. She is 6-0 with a huge win over Lima in her last bout. At this early stage she looks extremely promising. Refaeli is 3-2 since being released of Odd and Ends. She has vastly more experience and has fought some pretty good opponents along the way. Sagra’s big test was Lima. Sagra by a kKO
LAVIGNE/D. CAMERON Lavigne has compiled a 5-1 record since coming out of retirement basically fighting cupcakes. She fought one good fighter and had her head handed to he. Cameron hasn’t exactly set the world on fire. She hasn’t been terribly active either. I go with Lavigne to win and hope she can keep her mouth shut
E. ROBERTS/E. CLARKE Roberts is being brought along slowly as far as competition is concerned, but has already had five fights this year winning four. Clarke had five fights last year and won two. Her losses were to good fighters. She has faced better competition I am going to go with Clarke simply based on experience
O. HOLT/J. COLEMAN Holt has had six fights winning four. She won her only bout this year beating Kreuk. Coleman has been active in both the BBU and the FCBA and has fine record in both. She is 16-5 in the FCBA.. She has the experience and the heavier hands. Coleman by a KO
SCODELARIO/M. KELLY Kelly is a top notch bantam that was 4-3 last year and that can be considered a terrible year for her. Scodelario has won twelve of her last fourteen with wins over Lilly and Danes. Boxing World has Scodelario ranked at six and Kelly at thirteen I have to go along with that. Scodelario will win and move into a position for a title fight
PRINSLOO/DECKER Prinsloo broke in in 2016 and since then has won five of seven bouts. Decker has forty six fights under her belt and won 34 of those and is a former champion. Most of her fights have been at lightweight and I question the decision to fight her at welter. No matter, she will win this bout by a KO
KENDALL JENNER/UPTON Jenner has been sensational over the last two years and winning the title which she lost in February PPV. Upton is a two time welter champ, while Jenner title was at lightweight. Her record is no less sensational than Jenner's. She has one big advantage. she’s blonde and Jenner is not. Upton by a KO
KEEGAN/CYRUS Keegan is an experienced fighter with a winning record in both the BBU and the FCBA. She had a four fight win streak broken in February. Cyrus has won three fights this year bringing her record into positive territory. This to me is a 50/50 bout. I will go with Keegan
G. ATKINSON/GOODWIN Goodwin was brought in the fight a JMDD for which she is well qualified, if you know what I mean. She has had two conventional fights, winning one by beating Michelle Ryan in the March PPV. Atkinson briefly held the welter title last year but after losing it also lost three more. I am going to go with Atkinson by a KO
T. HILL/M.RYAN Hill broke in last year with five bouts winning four, Her biggest win was over the 45 year old Garner. Ryan was 4-6 last year but fought a very tough schedule of top fighters and a couple older Hall Of Fame members I think her experience will be the difference. Ryan will win
C. COLE/JUSTICE Cole who is on a five fight win streak is ranked at three in the flyweights. Justice, who has a winning record is 1-1 for the year. I think she is out of her league. Cole by a KO
DOBREV/HOLLAND Dobrev, a veteran, is on a five fight win streak and has won eight of her last nine. Holland wasn’t very active last year and this will be her first fight of this year. She has not done well against good competition. Dobrev will be too much for her. Dobrev by a KO
WINSTEAD/AMBROSIO This bout could be Ambrosio’s chance to get a title fight. We have her ranked at six in the lightweight rankings with Winstead one slot ahead of her. She has a great winning percentage record and has won her last four. Winstead’s win streak is at zero as she lost a title fight in mid March. As I have said before, I like Winstead because she fights nothing but the best. Winstead has four times the experience and certainly isn’t pushover. I am going with Winstead to win.
V. HUDGENS/MICHELE This is an AMD fight. I don’t have any idea what kind of bout this is or if there are different rules. In a regular fight, Michele has no business in the ring with Hudgens, therefore I go with Hudgens.
ROSE/B. THORNE JMD
FERGUSON/DADDARIO JMDD
VANCAMP/LILLY This is VanCamps first defense of her fourth unified bantam title which she won in mid March. Lilly, who had been a little on the downside got this bout with her big win over Kosarin on the March PPV. She is a six time bantam champ. The two have fought once before with VanCamp winning. I think this bout is a toss up. I go with VanCamp to retain her title
STRAHOVSKI/PERRY Strahovski, who now holds her third unified title is on-a four fight win streak. Perry, who has held the unified title once, is on a seven fight win streak. Her last loss back in January of last year was to Strahovski. I have to go with Yvonne to win. She has it were it is important. She’s blonde
T. ATKINSON/BROOK Brook is a journey woman who is a member of the 100 fight club. Other then the champion has the right to pick her opponents, I don’t know why she got this match. Atkinson has had sixteen bouts, half of which have been at JMDD. She has won four of her last five conventional bouts. At this point in time I don’t know what to make of Atkinson but will pick her to retain the title.
