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 the October PPVs, I went 39-10 running my total to 1486-440, which remains at the 77% correct level
KUNIS/C.MENDES Kunis has been having a hard time recently losing five of her last six. Mendes is going in the opposite direction having won five of her last six after beating Cyrus in the October PPV. Kunis has the edge in experience by a wide margin. Youth is on Mendes side. I normally side with experience, but this time I am going to go with Mendes to win. Hope I don’t regret it.
STRAHOVSKI/HEIGL Yvonne, a top lightweight, is another having a hard time. At this writing, she has lost four straight. The four time unified champion needs a win over a top fighter Heigl used to be a top lightweight until the end of 2012 when she simply disappeared from activity. She’s one of those fighters with a lot of titles who can’t get into the Hall OF Fame She has held seven titles in 104 fights but doesn’t have the 60% win ratio. She is now 40. Too long inactivity. Yvonne by a KO
LILLY/MICHALKA Lilly is in the Hall Of Fame hunt, She is a little ways away, but she can smell it. She is 6-2 for the year with win over VanCamp and Danes in her last two. Michalka used to be a good fighter, but has only had one fight this year as Bazz has becomes a subsidiary of Front Street, supplying them with losing fighters. Lilly will make her good year better with a win
CLARKE/D.CAMPBELL Clarke is fighting in both the BBU and the FCBA. She is a 50/50 in both. She has had two fights in the FCBA this year winning one Campbell is a much better fighter. She is 5-2 for the year, but has lost her last two, one being a title fight. Campbell will win by a KO
KROES/T.ATKINSON Kroes will look very pretty entering the ring. She probably is not going to look so hot leaving. Atkinson is 9-1 for the year and held the welter title for five months before losing it to Upton in August.
Atkinson is too much for Kroes. Atkinson by a KO
KEEGAN/de RAVIN De Ravin is one of those fighters who fight about every where. In the last three years she is 2-3 in the FCBA. She 0-1 for the year losing to Popplewell. Keegan also fights in multiple organizations and is 2-3 in the FCBA for the year. She bigger and younger than de Ravin. Keegan will win.
JUSTICE/S.GOMEZ Justice fights in both the BBU and FCBA, She has been far more successful in the BBU. She is 3-5 for the year in the FCBA with her list of opponents not being particularly impressive Gomez has a winning record, but is 2-3 this year with a telling loss to Stella Hudgens. The two fought last year with Gomez winning. I see no reason why this result should be any different. Gomez
SCHERZINGER/DRAYTON Scherzinger has a reasonably good record and at the age of 40 has had four fights this year winning two. Drayton is 13 years younger and an inch taller. She is 3-1 in the FCBA, but hasn’t fought since March, although she has had a couple bouts in the BBU. In one of them she lost to Frege.Yeah, hard to believe. Scherzinger wins.
YUSTMAN/DAWSON Yustman should need no introduction. She has been in and around the top ten for years and held the title once. She is 4-2 for the year. Dawson has been around the FCBA for thirteen years, but has only had 16 fights winning half of them. She fought earlier this year, losing to Nigri. Yustman will handle Dawson
WINNICK/BUSH The soon to be 41 year old Winnick is having a good year being in fourteen fights and winning eleven of them. As I have said before, she is good as long as she fights within her age group, Bush has a winning record and is 3-2 for the year in conventional fights. She is a bantam. Winnick is a lightweight, who has fought a lot of bantams which could be part of her success. This could be a good fight. I’ll go with Winnick, however I am not betting on my call. You shouldn’t either
LAVIGNE/SCERBO Let’s make this quick. I can’t stand Lavigne nor do I have any respect for her. Scerbo is my BFF. I suspect Lavigne will be a heavy favorite. I have to go with Scerbo
BELLA THORNE/DENNINGS Thorne is the other member of the Dollhouse bad girl duo. Quite frankly, I haven’t been able to find any admirable qualities about her. Some pundits seem to think she is the fourth best thing since sliced bread. I don’t think so, but she will be heavily favored in this bout. Dennings is a friend from Front Street (I do have some friends there) Thorne will be favored however, I have to go with Dennings in an upset. I just cannot bring myself to favor Thorne
GONZALEZ/LIVELY This should be a good bout. Lively is 2-1 for the year and Gonzalez is 3-2 They have one common opponent, Heard, who they both beat. Lively has a lot more experience and is 2 inches taller. I think Lively will win
SEYDOUX/A.GREENE Seydoux has a winning record, however is not having a good year, losing three of four with her only win being over Frege. Greene had a good record until her last six fights. She lost them all to good opponents. Can she get back on track? I am going to take that chance. Greene will break her losing streak
CYRUS/E.WATSON Watson is on a roll. She is 10-1 for the year after beating Stewart. Cyrus’s year is not quite so good as she is 6-3 after losing to Mendes in the October PPV. I think this fight is for a spot in the top ten. Winner is in. loser is out. I think Cyrus will be in
GIBBS/G.HADID Gibbs is 6-2 in conventional fights in her career. Not too impressive you might say when looking at her opponents. Hadid is less impressive. She has lost her last five. I think Gibbs will make it six. Besides she blonde. Hadid isn’t
RATAJKOWSKI/GLAU We need to take up a collection to buy Ratajkowski some decent clothes. She manages to show up most days in the Daily Mail wearing very little. She has won eleven of her last twelve conventional fights, but I am not impressed. Boxing World has her ranked as six even though I don’t think she has ever beaten a fighter in the top thirty Now she faces Glau, who even Miss Ginny agrees is toast. She has lost her last ten going back to April 2014. This is nothing but a blatant attempt to pad the record. It will succeed
VIKANDER/S.CARTER This will be Carter’s 98th fight. Unfortunately she needs 4 wins in her next 2 fights to get in the Hall of Fame. Yeah you got it, She ‘ain’t’ going to make it in 100 fights. Maybe later, but she has to win. Vikander is a decent opponent who she should be able to beat. Carter edges closer to the Hall
KLOSS/NOLIN Nolin will be 47 this month. She hasn’t fought that much and has lost seven of her last nine. Kloss is one of the best young welters, but is only 9-7 since the beginning of last year, losing to top of the line opponents. Nolin got flattened by Theron earlier this year. Kloss destroyed Theron last year. I know that doesn’t mean much. Kloss needs to be aware of Nolin’s habit of going low. Many of her wins have come that way. Kloss will win
McCARTHY/MENDES I never dreamed I would see Jenny Mac back in the ring. I have to be careful how I put this since she is a sometime friend, sometime irritant and a fellow commentator at the Asylum. McCarthy just turned 46. Mendes is 44 Mendes has edge in recent records Mendes has to win or McCarthy won’t shut up. Mendes
PALICKI/SWIFT Palicki is a two time champion and in the early years of the decade was considered an extremely dangerous fighter. From 2014 to 2017, her career lagged as Sceej became somewhat inactive. She hasn’t been too successful in reestablishing her career losing three of four this year. I don’t think I need to say much about Swift, who has been one of the best for a couple years. Palicki is still dangerous, however. I have to go with Swift
MITCHELL/McADAMS McAdams will be 40 this month and is still active. The four time champion is 3-1 this year. Mitchell is have a very good year being 4-0 with wins over Bella Thorne and Evangeline Lilly. Mitchell is ten years younger. I go with the younger. Mitchell wins
HALE/LOWNDES Hale is having an off year being 2-4. Lowndes is doing a little better with a 3-3 record. The two fought once before with Lowndes winning. Should be a good bout with Mr V’s favorite winning
LIND/ ROY LIST I’m sorry, but I can’t get excited about this bout Statistics favor Lind so I will go with her. Lind wins
E.HENSTRIDGE/KENDRICK Henstridge had a huge year last year. This year, not so much being 4-5. Kendrick has had only two fights this year losing both. Henstridge has a height advantage. Henstridge wins
SCODELARIO/WILDE Scodelario has been nothing short of sensational for the last two years going 18-3 and holding the bantam title for three months I have always liked the Wilde girl but she has had this misfortune of being in Bazz. She broke a five fight losing streak by winning of the October PPV. Unfortunately for her, a new losing streak is going to start as she loses to Kaya
AMBROSIO/ATWELL Atwell is all over the place fighting in the BBU, FCBA and JMD/D Boxing World has her ranked at one despite the fact that she is 3-2 in the FCBA This will be Ambrosio’s 12th fight of the year and the eighth in the FCBA where she is 5-2 Atwell can certainly win this fight, however I have to go with Ambrosio
RHODA/G.ATKINSON Rhoda took a big hit in her upset loss to Lawrence in the October PPV. She is now 5-4 for the year and dropped to six in our welter rankings. For Atkinson, it’s how fast you can go from champ to chump. She has lost six of her last seven and now has a career losing record. I doubt she is going to reverse her losing trend fighting Rhoda. Rhoda will win
L.COLLINS/V.HUDGENS This is supposed to be for the AMD title which I have said, is the dumbest idea to come into the FCBA in many years. These anatomical titles are just stupid. Where is it going to end. FMD (Feet of Mass Destruction). HMD (Hips of Mass Destruction) and so on Anatomical titles should discontinued including the “beloved JMD/D". They are basically meaningless. Excuse the rant. There is also a fight. Hudgens is another on a drive to the Hall Of Fame although it is probably a year or two off. Over the last two years she is 18-5. She beat Collins in this exact same type of fight in the March PPV. Collins is no slouch being 14-3 over the same period of time. The two have fought three times with one being a JMD bout. They are 1-1 in conventional bouts. I have to go with Hudgens, but I won’t be shocked if Collins wins
WINTER/M.WILLIAMS For the flyweight title. Let’s admit it. I dislike the way the Wiz books his fights which are generally easy wins. What frosts my butt is, that it works. He gets a streak of wins over nobodies and get title matches which end up with champions in the Front Street stable. Under the Front Street banner Winter is 12-1. Admittedly, she has fought a couple good fighters beating both Portman and Kreuk recently Is she ready for the Hall Of Fame champion? Probably not, but when a title shot if offered, you don’t turn it down. Can Winter win? Yes she can. Her win over Portman proves that. Will she win? I don’t think so. I hate to predict against Front Street here, but I believe Williams will win
DOBREV/KOSARIN. For the bantam title. Dobrev for her first title defense chose Kosarin. Not an easy opponent. Dobrev is on a seven fight winning steak, Kosarin is 8-4 on the year after beating Ratajkowski in October. She’s a tall bantam coming in a 5’8” which gives her a two inch advantage. Her loss to Theron gives me some concern, but I am going to take the chance a go with Kosarin to be the new bantam champion
REN/WINSTEAD. Winstead is 6-3 after beating Lima, Brook and Jenner for the lightweight crown. She’s one of my favorites since she fights only the best. At 34. she has a chance for the Hall of Fame. Ren has a great 18-3 record and has won her last five which were this year. She wasn’t involved in the lightweight tournament. She was awarded the title fight on the basis of her wins over Swift and Jenner. This should be a good bout. I like Winstead's experience against the best. Winstead will retain the title
LAWRENCE/UPTON For the welter title. Lawrence is coming into this bout with a losing record, mostly at lightweight. Apparently her win over Rhoda got Upton’s attention. Upton’s career record is not as good as it looks since management engages her in JMDD. She has had 18 JMDD fights which cuts into her record considerably. That said, this is her third welter title. She has a two inch height advantage. It’s strange. Lawrence get’s a title shot after two fights since turning welter after being so-so at lightweight and not holding a title in her seven years as a lightweight. She won’t hold a title at welter. At least, not this time. Upton
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 the October PPVs, I went 39-10 running my total to 1486-440, which remains at the 77% correct level
