TESS VALMORE
I was somewhat surprised, but not disappointed that Lee lost. She does have a legitament excuse in her opponent’s height advantage, however it is a disadvantage that good fighters have overcome numerous times.
Alba broke a thirteen fight losing streak by beating a fighter who had had only one fight and lost it. Winning was probably the worst thing that could have happened to Alba. She will now be more in demand as a go to when one needs a win and she will fill out that mission very well. As for as Wickersham’s future is concerned, the doesn’t have one
Beckinsale isn’t what she once was, but she still has enough to beat a 40 year making her debut bout which is probably also her farewell bout
Agdal broke her routine of losing every other fight by beating Lautenberg who had never won a conventional fight. This was a “gimme’. Had Agdal lost, she might have been given walking papers from her stable.
The Ferguson/Ivanovic bout was a blatant mismatch to pad Ferguson’s win record. Needless to say Ferguson won.
The introduction of Kelly Overton on this card and Isabela Moner on a CBAD bout brings the number of debut to 52 for the year.

C'mon, Tess! Did you notice Ferguson getting knocked down? Blatant mismatch would be one of these KO1s at the Asylum but not this one ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Blatant mismatch refers not to the fight, but to the intention of scheduling the fight. This was nothing other than a bout to pad Ferguson’s record. The fact that it didn’t go down easily as expected doesn’t negate the expectation. Do you think anyone expected Ivanovic to win this fight?

Maybe nobody expected Ana to win but her WTA playing weight was 69kg / 152 lbs so it wasn't a gimme. Ferguson is listed at 62 kg / 136 lbs so hey, that's quite a big difference ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Actually this may help Ana gets some additional fights now that she's no longer hampered by 'active pro athlete' status.
