TESS VALMORE
Once again, I present this month’s edition of my much ridiculed predictions. As usual, it may be littered with cheap shots, unjustified criticisms and unflattering comments. In last month PPVs, I went 29-9 running my total to 1322-378
E. WATSON/E. STONE Watson has had a hard time staying employed. She is in her fifth stable. Since joining VIX, she has had success winning four of her last five. Stone on the other hand is not doing well and that might be termed an understatement. She has lost six in a row and ten of her last eleven. I don’t think Stone is going to do any better. Watson by a KO
M. FOX/CABELLO Cabello has a record slightly on the winning side, but her competition has been on the poor side. I don’t look for Fox to be too kind to her opponent. She lost her title in last months PPV. Cabello will pay for it. Fox by a KO
B. THORNE/A. GREEN Thorne has won seven in a row. Smackey has her ranked at fourteen in the bantams. She has impressed him more than me. I admit that my relations with the Doll House may be a little on the strained side, but her competition has been on the light side with the exception of VanCamp and we know what happened there. Green is a capable journey woman bantam. She lost to VanCamp in her only fight of the year. I suspect that Thorne will be the favorite. I am going with Green in an upset
GONZALES/HEARD Gonzales broke a four fight losing streak a couple days ago by beating Aldridge. Heard had a four fight win streak broken earlier this year in a loss to Zendaya Coleman It’s another case of looking good until the competition is considered. In that respect, Heard does not come out well. Gonzales will win.
KREUK/HANRATTI Kreuk has now passed that age when I think the downside sets in. She has lost three of her last four. She has spent ten years in the Consortium sitting at the end of the flyweight bench. Hanratti has an unimpressive winning record. Kreuk has a three inch height advantage. I think Kruek still has enough to take Hanratti, plus I don’t like to go against the Consortium Kreuk by a KO
M. WILLIAMS/KEEGAN Williams is a member of the Hall OF Fame, but is swiftly approaching thirty-eight. That kind of matters, but she is a member of the Consortium and what did I just say? I hardly ever bet against the Consortium. Besides if i keep on saying good things about his stable, maybe Mr Hawkeye will send me some of those chocolate, jalapeño, coconut cookies. Williams wins
STRJID/RIGHETTI Strjid has six fights and won four. She has a three inch height advantage over Righetti. It’s another case of area of the height covering more of the ring as she is counted out. I think this is a mismatch. Righetti by a KO whenever she wants
GOMEZ/S. HUDGENS. Hudgens trying to capitalize on her sisters success. She has won four of eight in her brief career, Gomez has been it a little of a rut recently losing four of her last seven. Gomez has the advantage of experience, is a little bigger and has the better record. Gomez will win.
SCHERZINGER/GLAU Scherzinger is now forty and the end of her career should be in sight, She has been in the FCBA for eleven years, had fifty fights, won 27, but has never had a title fight. Her chances of getting one are remote Glau is 37 and on the down side. According to the archives, she has lost her last six I thought she recently won a bout, but, if so I was unable to locate it. Scherzinger will win
M. KELLY/LACHMAN Kelly has long been a top bantam, however she is 38 and seems to be sliding. She has lost four of her last six. Lachman is just a little short of being a disaster zone. After winning her first two, she has lost her last eight. Her claim to fame is that she fought Megan Markle. Kelly will win. If not, time to go
YUSTMAN/PIKE I like Yustman. She has won two of three this year and will probably be returning to the top ten in my next rankings This is pretty much of a gimme bout. Pike has had seven FCBA bouts and four have been at the Asylum. She actually won one there which happens to be her only win. That was almost three years ago. Since that time she has lost four straight. Yustman by a KO early
FREEMAN/KLOSS Freeman had won four of her last five before losing a title bout to Atkinson in the May PPV. She is ranked in the top ten in both Tractorpull and Boxing World polls. Kloss doesn’t make the top ten in either mainly because she hasn’t fought this year. Kloss has lost three of her last four, but all to top welters. This should be one of the better bouts of the night. I go with Freeman to win
PATTON/T. WILSON Paula Patton has seen better days. She is now 42 and has lost four of her last five. Wilson’s. who is also 42, glory days are long over. She did hold four unified titles, the last one being in 2008. She spent 2016 in JMDD losing three of five. She won a bout this year by beating McMahon who is no better at fighting than she is at running a stable. I will go with Wilson
JUSTICE/THIRWALL Thirwall has had five FCBA fights and three were against Cabello who she she beat twice for her only wins. She lost the last fight to Cabello, Justice is a run of the mill fighter that will never get a smell of the top ten. She is 2-2 for the year. Justice is 2 1/2 inches taller than Thirwall. Justice by a KO, however, don’t bet your fortune on it.
H. WILLIAMS/WINTER Williams is 4-1 for her career beating nobodies which is OK since she is a newbie. Winter has won eight straight since joining Front Street. Like Williams, her opponents have been on poor side. Winter by a KO
KOSARIN/NIGRIM Kosarin has only had thirteen fights, but is already ranked in the top ten by Boxing World. She has won four of her last five with her loss being to Lilly. Nigri was brought into the FCBA for JMD purposes. She has won four of five conventional bouts. I think Kosarin will win
KOSTEK/UTGAARD Kostek is a newbie who has had one fight which she won. Utgaard has been around for several years and has had twelve fights winning them all. Utgaard’s competition has been on the light-side, but experience is on her side as is size. Utgaard by a KO
LOVATO/FISHEL JMD
D. CAMPBELL/PANETTIERE Campbell enters the ring on a superlative thirteen fight winning streak. During that time only two opponents made it into the eighth round. This is huge fight for Panettiere. This will be her 100th fight and her entrance into the Hall Of Fame. If she wins she will be inducted. If not, her entrance will delayed. I don’t like to allow entrance on a loss. Panettiere has had two fights this year losing both. Boxing World has Panettiere ranked at six in the flyweights and Campbell at seven. Panettiere will win and gain entrance
HALE/S.CARTER Hale comes into the ring having lost three of her last five. Not to be outdone, Carter enters having lost jour of her last five. Hale has held the title once. Carter is a three time champion. They have both been around for years, but this is their fight against each other. Carter holds an almost three inch height advantage. Carter will win
S. MITCHELL/LILLY I thought Lilly might be getting her mojo back after winning three of her last five. But looking at the record her two wins were over Lohan and Ridley She has lost seven of her last ten. Mitchell on the other hand has won eight of her last ten Mitchell has held one unified title. Lilly has held six, This is another bout where the two have been in the FCBA for years and hadn’t fought each other. I just am not sure about Lilly. I have never understood what her problems were. I have to go with Mitchell
LIND/MICHALKA JMD
McADAMS/BUSH McAdams is a four time unified champion. however, is now forty and has passed that age where the downside kicks in. The has lost four of her last five. Bush is not exactly a spring chicken. She has won five her last seven. I have to admit, I don’t have a clue about this bout. Flip on the coin comes up Bush
FERGUSON/DECKER JMDD
V. HUDGENS/O.HOLT Flyweight title at risk as well as something called AMD. I have said his before. AMD is the dumbest title to come into the FCBA ever. Where is going to stop FMD, Feet of Mass Destruction. KMD, Knees of Mass Destruction. All these mean nothing titles just cheapen the real ones OK that rant is over for the time being. Hudgens begins the defense of her fourth unified title. She has won all four of her conventional fights this year. Holt gets a title shot in only her eighth bout. She has won five of her previous seven fights. I have to go with Hudgens to successfully defend her title
VANCAMP/DANES VanCamp is defending her fourth unified title and has won her last six. Danes, who has held five unified titles is getting old. She is now 39 and well past my downside age. She hasn’t been all that active recently having only two fights last year, and one this year. She has lost three of her last four. The two have fought twice with each holding a win. VanCamp has an almost three inch height advantage. i really like Danes and I don’t like to go against the Consortium, but I think age and height difference will be the deciding factor VanCamp retains the title
GOODWIN/T. ATKINSON This is disappointing. Goodman. who was brought into FCBA to fight at JMDD, gets a title fight after having only three conventional fights of which she won two. She is not even ranked in the welters. She is ranked at 31 in the lightweights, which is probably 100 slots too high (sorry Smackey) It’s amazing how a big chest overcomes talent in getting matches. I am not sold on Atkinson, but she should be able to beat Goodman. If she doesn’t, the welters will become the laughing stock of the FCBA
