TESS VALMORE
You can call this a suggestion or you can call this a complaint. It matters not to me. I wish managers would pay attention to what each other is doing. Some months are a desert between PPV’s. Nothing much happens, maybe an occasional CBAD. Some months are active. This month is a good example of nothing much going on. It’s always nice when managers schedule mini PPPV, but it would be better is they were spread out. Next month is a good example of not being spread out. On August 2 VIX announced their PPVs for the rest of the year which included a stable war on September 14. On August 28, FNL announced a PPV for September 13. So we will have two PPVs back to back. Wouldn’t be better us they would be spread out? On these two cards there are two fighters who will be fighting on each, two fighting on two cards back to back. Managers of these two may think their fighters are great. Theron did it nineteen and twenty years ago, but trust me, neither of these two are going to be a Theron
LIPA/DELEVINGNE Lipa comes into this you with a 3-1 FCBA record. The one loss was to Ren, who is a top lightweight. Delevingne has been around longer, breaking in 2016. Delevingne is also a lightweight. She has lost her last four. Two of those losses were to bantams. The two fought in the BBU last year with Lipa coming out on top. She will repeat.
CRUZ/SHAKIRA This is a cougar bout. Shakira is now 42. She hasn’t been seem much in the recent past. In fact, She has had three fights in the last seven years, her last being in 2016. She lost all three. Her last win being in 2012. Cruz is 45 and also naturally slowed down. She has had four bouts in the last five years. She won one, that being in 2015. She lost her last three. Cruz has an even record of 30-30. After this bout, she will have a winning record of 31-30
REGAN/FREEMAN This bout shows the continued weakness in the welters despite attempts to bring the division back and managers and pundits declaring it was just fine. Freeman is ranked at eight in Tractorpull and eleven in Boxing World. She has lost four of her last five although the losses were to ranked fighters. What other division would a fighter in who lost four of her last five, be ranked as high as eleven? Regan was once a dominate welter. She has lost six of her last ten with one loss being to a lightweight. After losing 60% of her recent fights, Boxing World has her ranked at ten, but they go by win/loss figures. She is not ranked in the top ten by Tractorpull. That’s not a criticism of Boxing World, They have to find a top ten somewhere. Tractorpull has the same problem. It's a criticism of the welter division. Despite all the above this should be a good fight. The two have fought once before with Regan winning. I’m going to take a chance on Freeman.
MITCHELL/RATAJKOWSKI Mitchell has fallen on hard times. She has had four fights this year and lost them all. She has lost her last six. This will be Ratajkowski’s ninth conventional bout of the year with her record for the year bing 5-3. The two fought in January with Ratajkowski winning. She will repeat
S.CARTER/LOWNDES Carter who was inducted into the Hall Of Fame this year has a 3-2 record for the after losing her last two. Lowndes is eight years younger and is 4-2 in conventional bouts this year. Despite being in the FCBA for years, these two have only fought once, with Lowndes winning. I think Lowndes will win, not because she won the first fight, but because I think Carter is going to the downside.
