TESS VALMORE
The Brook/Graham bout came out as expected. Graham lasted less than three. i don’t think Brook will appreciate being called a plus sized model. This was nothing, but a stay busy fight for Brook. She is 39, but will continue to get bouts in the talent short welters
Hewitt is a member of the dysfunctional Chimera stable. She has now lost eight straight. She is done, but Chimera is not going to get the message. Her loss to Rodriguez was not unexpected
Delevigne proved that Bundchen may be a first class model, but she is incompetent as a fighter. Maybe she needs the exposure because her husband is more popular than she is.
Chabert’s loss to Knightly was telling. She has now 3-6-1 in her last ten. her good days are over. I think she will continue to get fights. She is a name that the up and comers will target
I didn’t see the final fight. I was down at the Manor bar having a cocktail and watching my Cardinals take care of Miami

I'm a believer!
I believe Ashley Graham is 5'9" and weighs 201 lbs., while Kelly Brook is 5'6" and 145 lbs.
I believe J. Love Hewitt is done. I believe she was done several years ago. I believe she is currently a clerical in Chimera's office - and has been since the stable was founded and she was signed. (Good of you to pick up on that...finally)
I believe Lacey Chabert's good days are over... as does anyone who's watched her for the last few years.
And I DO BELIEVE you didn't watch the final fight because you were down at the Manor bar having a cocktail and I believe you have made it a point of honor never to watch a JMD/D fight and this was....oops!
I believe the last fight was NOT a JMD/D bout. (Shame on you!)

Just a few things, on Jennifer Love Hewitt, I asked for the fight between her and Rodriguez, as Ginny says; she is now working behind the scenes for Chimera. On Kelly Brook and the plus sized bit; I thought I read that she wanted to be the UK's Ashley Graham, she has definitely spoken about not burning her curves away in the gym anymore, so that's why I put that bit in. Lastly; I am guessing Ronda hopes you don't see any of her fights if she can be as great in her future fights as she was in her debut, I feel be looking for more physically strong opponents for those getting worried she'll be fighting purely models or actresses. Oh and next month is crossover time remember, I hope Tess can take the time to visit the BBU, as I am sure she may need a refresher in some of the top fighters in the BBU that should be paying a visit soon.

Just a few things, … ...I am guessing Ronda hopes you don't see any of her fights if she can be as great in her future fights as she was in her debut...(edit) looking for more physically strong opponents for those getting worried she'll be fighting purely models or actresses. (emphasis added)In MY defense (of myself!) I signed Ronda Rousey originally as a trainer and didn't intend to use her as a fighter. But like any responsible manager, I try to work with my employees to help them achieve their life goals whenever possible...without harming the "outfit" paying my/our salaries. Chimera has been a good place for me and I hope for Ronda, so when she retired from MMA and transitioned to her new career as a professional wrestler we were happy to offer her employment in a field where she could use her skills/knowledge to help improve our fighters. We did so with the understanding that - if she so wished - she could take fights (MMA, wrestling, or other - including boxing) whenever the opportunity presented itself … as long as it didn't interfere with her responsibilities at Chimera. So far, that's worked out for us all. We haven't been pushing Ronda as a boxer (although given her MMA record against boxers, we weren't surprised our phone was ringing off the hook with fight offers as soon as she signed with us!) The FCBA has been (unlike some other promotions) pretty liberal in its acceptance of fighters including those whose "sexual orientation" was somewhat flexible; who espoused political stances not always popular; or who were - or had been - citizens of countries whose relations with the "free world" the "West" or otherwise unpopular for one reason or another. And while I don't begrudge Tractorpull, Tess Valmore, or any other commentator, the right to voice, write, tweet, twit or troll their opinions, I take umbrage (I usually down my umbrage with a shot of vodka and a twist of lime, thank you) when they take gratuitous shots at my fighters. It's all well and good if someone doesn't like JMD, JMD/D, Body Saddle, Ice Hotel, Beach Fights, mud wrestling, Presidential press conferences or political candidate debates.... you can watch them or not, that's your right. I just don't like seeing fighters being "cyber bullied" (!) for taking bouts to try and earn a living (when we all know how grossly underpaid fighters are compared to world famous singers, actresses and "celebrities famous for being famous" (whether or not you can keep up with them!) THERE! Boy, do I feel better. >:D

The classic wrong assumption is that ALL fighters in the FCBA MUST win all the time, if they don't then it's time to retire. Bull. Roy Jones Jr. was long done as a prime-time fighter yet he didn't retire until he was 49. Past-prime tenure is essential to current pro boxing roster. You can't have 95% of active fighters at the height of their prime. Upcoming no-names and past-prime dinosaurs outnumber all the peak fighters and that's a FACT Tractorpull can't deny. Otherwise we'd have 10 fighters per division battling each other all the time. And that would be BORING.
