TESS VALMORE

While Tractorpull tries to predict every card, we do not comment on every card. While some PPV’s present very good and entertaining bouts between seldom seen or unmanaged fighters, the results seldom have an immediate impact.

YUSTMAN/LOPILATO This was a bigger fight for Lopilato than it was for Yustman. The kind of bout that can sneak up and cause an upset. A win by Lopilato would have catapulted her up into the top twenty. For Yustman, it was just another day. A win was virtually meaningless, but a loss could be catastrophic. It was a competitive fight for the first four rounds, but Yustman took control in the fifth and won the bout by a KO in the sixth

ROHRBACH/KURKOVA This was interesting because it was a welter bout between two lightweights. Rohrbach is in the top ten lightweights while Kurkova is way down the list. Does this signal the possibility of either moving to welter where the depth of talent is less than lightweight? Rohrbach has tested the welter waters before with no luck. After this win, will she try again?

EMMA WATSON/S.GOMEZ Watson continued on her quest for a title fight by winning her eighth in a row by beating Gomez, who is a tough opponent. The champion won’t be able to ignore her for long

FERGUSON/DECKER This was the big fight of the night and the result was even bigger. Decker did not appear in the Tractorpull rankings because of inactivity, while Ferguson was ranked at three. Boxing World had Ferguson at two and Decker down at seventeen. Decker’s win over Ferguson should shoot into the top ten, although a title bout is doubtful since she lost to Upton earlier this year. For Ferguson, not much damage done. She will drop a slot or two. Will Ferguson go back to JMDD she has a 4-0 record for the year against a 1-2 conventional record?

"we" do not comment on every Tess Valmore post. (Note the use of the "Royal we" There?) Seems "we're" picking up bad habits from TESS VALMORE, MEGHAN MARKLE, and others (looking at you Queen Kate, Princess Stephanie, and other members of boxing's "royalty".)

Anyway, to get (closer) to the point of this morning's exercise.... lightweights fighting at, and signaling a possible move UP to welter where the "depth of talent" is - I suppose the proper word would be "shallower" rather than "less" - with less being a qualitative, rather than numerical, qualifier(?) Anyhoo…. with Boxing World Online "ranking" over 200 lightweights... (really? Can it actually be called a "ranking" rather than an accumulation of names of women who - at one time or another - have fought at lightweight?) Perhaps if BWO included a contact phone # for each, I'd accuses them of simply reprinting the phone book, or George Hamilton's little black book.

But (she meanders back in the general direction of the she'd been fumbling to get to...) with so many competitors for time/space on PPV cards, why wouldn't a reasonably attractive fighter (in a boxing, rather than physical attractiveness sense) look for some way to separate herself from the crowd? The welter ranking (sic) includes less than half as many names, - though I think there is some duplication for women who fight with one foot in either weight. (diet anyone?)

So while "signals" may be mixed, it's understandable why some women may feel they are "un- or under-" appreciated and seek wider pastures upon which to ply their trade. Much like in medieval times when witches were being persecuted they sought work as boxing commentators, or traded their pointy hats for pastel fedoras, got breast implants and used daddy's money to buy a stable so they could become stable owners. (Paid placement by Chimera!)

Now, don't get me started on JMDD records vs "conventional" records. They're different sports! It's like asking "Will Ferguson go back to wrestling (where) she has a 4-0 record against a 1-2 conventional record?" (See rankings rant, above) Fergie, old son, has found her "niche" and is exploiting it. Not to say her - and others - skill set doesn't transfer; perhaps so/perhaps not; but don't put a girl down for trying to expand her employment opportunities.

I could list (but why would I when Boxing World Online does it better) a hundred women, many of whom have boxed in FCBA - or similar celebrity combat sports feds - for whom JMD's, or (God forbid) JMD/D (D) [DD?] or whatever the preferred acronym is (I can't keep it straight) who just don't "measure up". Perhaps we (society at large, including FCBA) need to be more appreciative of celebrities who bring "less" to the table!

How about a DMD title for those less well-endowed? (De Minimis Distraction?). For more on De minimis, and a possible legal underpinning for the creation of a new class of classy title for women proudly flaunting A's and B's, I refer you to Blackstone's Law Dictionary, or if you can't find your copy, to Wikipedia, for a fuller explanation of why "less than full" deserves a "little" respect. (see what I did there... De minimis… little respect? I AM clever! Just a little...)
