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 August PPVs, I went 32-11 running my total to 1403-413 which is still 77% correct.
KENNEDY/V. HUDGENS What kind of joke is this? Hudgens, a four time champion going against an opponent who has won one of five, lost four straight and even lost to Adelaide Kane. Would it be a huge surprise if I predicted Hudgens would win? Well remember, you heard it here first
VANCAMP/LILLY Now this should be a great fight. VanCamp is a four time champion and is 6-1 for the year. Lilly is a six time champion, but is only 3-2 for the year with one of those losses being to VanCamp. which surprisingly is the only time these two have fought. I have to believe that VanCamp will repeat. VanCamp takes two in a row from Lilly
PEREGRYM/ALDRIDGE Aldridge is an American refugee from the BBU where she went 5-0 The FCBA hasn’t been as kind. She is 3-3, but she did upset Agdal in the August PPV. Missy is two inches shorter than Aldridge and is a former bantam who moved up to lightweight. She has fallen on hard times losing four of her last five. Her only win was against the 49 year old Ryan. Her last loss was to Rhoda. Why management put a small lightweight against a top welter makes me wonder. I’m not sure is Missy has anything left in the tank. I am going with Aldridge and hope that I am wrong
LAVIGNE/J-L COLEMAN I got to tell you I am so tired of seeing Lavigne. She’s built a great record so far, fighting a bunch of nobodies. Coleman is a different breed of cat. I think I am going to enjoy seeing Lavigne get smeared all over the ring. Coleman by a KO
WINTER/KREUK Winter is 5-1 for the year after pulling a huge upset by beating Portman in the August PPV. Kreuk is 1-2 for the year and has lost three of her last four. This should be a tough bout for Winter,, but I think if she can beat Portman, she can beat Kreuk. Winter will win
CHOPRA/ROBBIE Chopra jumped to 20 in Boxing Worlds rankings on the basis of a single win over Bellisario. Robbie has the misfortune of being that hell hole called Chimera. Don’t get me started. She 2-3 and lost to Bellisario this year. I’m going to take a chance of Chopra to win Not because she is better, I just am not thrilled about Chimera. Illogical for a prediction? OK. I’m going to do it anyway
PALICKI/B.LIVELY I like Palicki, but she is another who has fallen on hard times She hasn’t had a winning year since 2014, when problems developed at Sceej. New management took over a year or so ago and things went from bad to worse. She has now lost four straight and five of her last six, but to her credit she is fighting top talent. Lively is not exactly top talent, She has lost six of her last eight. The only reason she is fighting in this PPV is that she stayed clear of me in the big brawl that occurred in the last PPV. One of her few wins happened to be over Palicki. I’m not sure Palicki has it anymore. I have to go with Lively to repeat
HALE/CYRUS Hale is hard to figure out. She got off to a horrible start in the FCBA. Then she had a great run winning the title. Now the last two years have been basically on the down side. Cyrus is doing better. She is 5-2 for the yearI
Cyrus is part of Chimera, but I am going to have to put my feelings aside. Cyrus by a KO
LILY COLLINS/D. CAMPBELL Collins has been sensational since joining the FCBA. She is 13-3 since the beginning of 2017. Two of her three losses were to Vanessa Hudgens. Campbell’s record is almost as good. She is 19-6 for her career and 12-1 for the same 2017-18 period. Her one loss was to none other than Vanessa Hudgens in a title fight in July. I think this is a 50/50 fight so flip the coin. It comes up Collins by a KO
WINNICK/C.PATTON This will be Winnick’s eleventh fight of the year. She is 8-3 with fighting opposition that is not great, but appropriate for her age, which is not exactly young. Patton has had less than half the amount of fights in her career than Winnick has had this year. She has a winning record, but I have to go with Winnick
GARDNER/AGRON Gardner is a rookie who won three straight in the comfort of the Dollhouse PPV’s. She fought in her first PPV in the August card. It didn’t go well. She got flattened by Lind, who was three inches shorter. Agron was picked because she has had only two fights in the last five years and lost both. That’s what we call giving Gardner a challenge. Got to be careful here. as Electra has a short fuse. Once again, Gardner has a height advantage. This time it’s two inches. I gamble. Gardner by a KO
KRISTEN BELL/C. COLE Bell has been around for a long time and has a solid winning record. For some reason, her management hasn’t gotten her many fights. None in 2016. three last year and none this year until now. She lost 2 of 3 during that time. Cole is one of the top flyweights. Boxing World has her ranked at 2. Bell comes in at 41. I don’t think there is much doubt here Cole by a KO
VIKANDER/SANTORO This is Vikander’s second fight of the year, both against Cassie Scerbo. She won the first and lost the second. She now has lost three of her last four. Santoro is 2-1 for the year, but has lost three of her last five. Santoro is two inches taller. That will make the difference. Santoro by a KO
ITSINES /R.B. SMITH Smith won her first fight after three losses in March and hasn’t fought since That said, she has done better than Itsines, who has had only one bout and lost it They have one thing in common. They both lost to Santoro. I wonder how one comes across a personal trainer from Australia? This bout doesn’t particularly interest me, but I have to predict so I will go with Smith. Her name is easier to pronounce
KANG/LIND Kang has had three fights in her career winning one. Guess who she last to. Yep, Santoro, She also lost to Holland, who has lost her last four. Lind has a 4-2 record with a win over Michalka. A fighter who beats Michalka should beat a fighter who lost to Santoro. Lind by a KO
McADAMS/GREENE McAdams is now 40 and beginning to show it. She has lost four of her last five FCBA bouts. Greene has done her one better. She has lost all her last five. McAdams has been around the block several times and holds four unified titles.. As old as she is, McAdams will send Greene to her sixth straight loss.
OLSEN/C. HOLT Olsen was canned by Ms Ginny. That’s never a good sign, but then she avoided being dragged into that hell hole McMahon runs. She’s won three of her last six. From 2013 though 2015 Holt was one of the better bantams and held the title once. In 2016, very thing seemed to fall apart and since then she has lost eight of thirteen. She has fought some good competition during that time. She’s 1-2 for the year. Olsen is a little younger and a little bigger. It won’t help. Holt starts to turn things around by a KO
PORTMAN/O.HOLT Is Portman in a little funk or is she now on the downside at the age of 37? She has lost for of her last five including getting upset by Winter. Holt seems to be heading the opposite direction having won five of her last six with her only loss during that time being to Vanessa Hudgens. I’m not convinced the good times are over for Portman. I think she will win
DiDONATO/S. TURNER Turner is actively fighting in both the BBU and the FCBA. She is doing better in the BBU, having lost three of the last five in the FCBA. DiDonato got off to a bad start losing her first three one of which was at JMDD, which I don’t count. Somebody made a bad pick of her opponents since her first three bouts were against Swan, Ferguson and Decker. I got a hunch that DiDonato is going to win even though her stable doesn’t have a blonde, an omission that signals management isn’t making good choices
LIPA/REN This is Lipa’s first FCBA bout after going 7-1 in the BBU. Ren is 4-0 for the year with wins over Kendall Jenner and Swift. Since I don’t know anything about most of Lipa’s opponents, I am going with Ren by a KO
EVIGAN/RIDLEY Evigan comes into this bout on a four fight winning streak, the last win being over Frege which is no big deal. She has won her last three bouts by a KO5. Ridley has fallen on evil days. She is on a five fight losing streak with those losses being to top ten opponents Ridley is two inches taller. I am going to go with Ridley to break her losing streak. Ridley by a KO
MARKLE/M. KELLY I got to tell you, I have about had it with Markle and her family problems. I doubt she will ever be the equal of the Duchess of Cambridge. She’s on a four fight win streak. the last win being over Beckinsale.
Minka has had two off years being 5-5. Markle is two inches taller but I am going to go with Kelly to win
KEEGAN/MEESTER Keegan is 2-3 for the year with every loss being to a top ten member. Unfortunately, her wins were not over a top ten member Meester was let go by Front Street last year Since being on her own she has lost four straight and not lasting the sixth round in any of them. Keegan will continue her misery. Keegan by a KO
LEVESQUE/THIRWALL Levesque has had one fight every year for the past three years. Two of them have been in the BBU. She has won all three of her bouts. Thirwall has won three of six FCBA bouts. I can’t get too excited about Thirwall’s chances. She is six inches shorter than Levesque, who will win by a KO
GIBBS/SAMPAIO Gibbs is 4-2 for the year with her losses being to Ren and Taylor Hill. I don’t remember Sampaio. She had one FCBA fight which she lost to VanCamp Gibbs wins by a KO
WILDE/M. FOX I like the Wilde girl, but she is presently in a funk having lost her last four. Fox, on the other hand, has been incredible for the last two years going 20-1, her only loss being to Vanessa Hudgens. I would prefer to see Wilde win, but I don’t think that is going to happen. Both streaks will continue. Wilde to the downside, Fox on the upside
GRAHAM/E. HENSTRIDGE Graham was let go from Front Street in May of last year. Since that time she is 1-3, having lost her last three. Henstridge had a huge year in 2017 going undefeated in eleven fights. This year is a little different story. She is 3-5 after breaking a five fight losing streak by beating Lohan in the August PPV. Beating Lohan is no big deal, but I think Henstridge will beat Graham by a KO
AMBROSIO/DELEVIGNE Ambrosio is ranked at 14 in the lightweights by Boxing World. Tractorpull has her at six. You would think that would get her into the lightweight tournament, but it was not to be. Delevigne looks good on paper. She is 4-0 for the year, but hasn’t beaten anybody of note. She has coughed it up to every good fighter she has fought. The two have fought once before and It was not Delevigne who won. History repeats. Ambrosio by a KO
RHODA/S. HOWARD Howard started in the AWUBA and moved to the BBU fighting nothing but JMDD. Then she came to the FCBA Sounds like she is a Mr V import She has had seven fights in the US and five have been at JMDD. How has she done in conventional fights?She’s been KOed in the seventh round in both and hasn’t had a conventional bout in the over two years since. I don’t have to say much about Rhoda, except to say she is three inches taller. Howard will lose again, but she won’t make it to the seventh round
LIGHTWEIGHT TOURNAMENT
I am disappointed the way this tournament was set up. Instead of choosing the sixteen best. it was decided to spread the spots amongst the stables regardless of the fact that some stables did not have a legitament contender. As a result we have fighters in this tournament who do not deserve to be here
SAGRA/KENDALL JENNER Sagra in nine fights has made it into the top ten beating Lima and Ren along the way. Now she is facing her toughest test to date. Jenner stands close to the top of the food chain I’m going with Jenner to win in what should be a slugging match
ROHRBACH/PALVIN Boxing World has Palvin ranked at 25. Tractorpull, of course stops at ten. Rohrbach is there. Palvin isn’t. The two fought once before with Rohrbach winning Nothing changes.
SWIFT/YUSTMAN Yustman’s the harder hitter. Yustman by a KO
CUOCO/REFAELI Cuoco doesn’t deserve to be in this tournament. Boxing World has had ranked at 31 and that may be generous. She has lost her last five and has had only one fight this year. Refaeli also doesn’t deserve to be here. She has a losing record and is 2-4 for the year. Cuoco will win this bout. There is a remote possibility Cuoco can win this tournament but I say the chances at 95% against it.
NIGRI/G. HADID This is getting a little ridiculous. Nigri was brought in to fight as JMDD. She is 2-1 in conventional fights this year with her biggest win being over Bellisario who is a bantam. Lively would have a better chance of winning the crown, but what can you expect from Chimera? Hadid is even more of a joke. She’s 6-10 for her career and has lost her last four. If I have to pick a winner between these two losers it will be NigrI
BROOK/ALEXANDER Brook is a former two time lightweight champion and is a hard hitter. She’s a member of the 100 fight club. The question is, is a lightweight or a welter. Her last six fights have been at welter. Alexander hasn’t done much recently, but in the past she has beaten Kendall Jenner and Ambrosio She’s ranked at 30 by Boxing World. I’ll go with Brook,
STRAHOVSKI/WINSTEAD. It’s a pity that this bout can’t be for the championship. Unquestionably the best rivalry going in the lightweights and it’s between top ten fighters. This will be the 15th bout in the rivalry and the two are even with each winning seven. I like both of these women and that was before they tried to help me in the Chimera fiasco Yvonne is blonde. Mary Winstead is not. You know how that goes. Yvonne by a TKO
LIMA/WAGNER Wagner is another who has no business being in this tournament. The 39 year old member of Bazz is now serving as cannon fodder for the Front Street Asylum cards. She has lost her last four at the Asylum and five of her last six with that one win being over a bantam. You might claim she has been fighting top ten fighters at the Asylum, but that depends on which poll you are considering Front Street members do much better in Boxing World than they do at Tractorpull. She has had some big wins in the past, but note the operative word is “past” Lima is a legitimate contender. She is bigger. younger, and a far better fighter than Wagner Lima by a KO
TITLE BOUTS
LOWNDES/M. WILLIAMS I hate to say it, but this could be a better bout than some of the lightweight title bouts. I don’t think I need to say much about Williams, who is now defending her ninth unified title Lowndes has held the title once. She is 3-2 for the year. I have to try and win some favor from some of my critics, so I am going to suck up to Mr V. Lowndes will take the title
DOBREV/SCODELARIO Dobrev may be the best bantam to never hold the title. In eight years she has had on title chance in which she failed. She is now on a six fight winning streak Scodelario has had an amazing 17-2 run since the beginning of last year I think the bookies are going to have Scodelario a solid favorite. I’m going to go with an upset. Dobrev will take the crown
KLOSS/UPTON Kloss has had two fights this year winning both. She went 7-6 in a very busy 2017 I don’t think Upton need much of an introduction. This will be her first title defense. It will be successful Upton by a KO
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 August PPVs, I went 32-11 running my total to 1403-413 which is still 77% correct.

KLOSS/UPTON Kloss has had two fights this year winning both. She went 7-6 in a very busy 2017 I don’t think Upton need much of an introduction. This will be her first title defense. It will be successful Upton by a KO
If there was a six inch difference, we wouldn't be making this fight happen!
