BASSINGER/MONER Two rookies. Bassinger has had two fights and Moner four. Neither has lost. Bassinger has a two inch height advantage but Moner has beaten better opponents. That makes me go with Moner to win
CERNY/TAILOR Tailor has an excellent record of 13-4 in conventional fights. Unfortunately, management has apparently decided to fight her at JMDD. She has been in four fights this year and three of them at JMDD. Too bad. At 7-3 Cerny’s record is not as good but she has beaten Ambrosio and Lima. She has also beaten Tailor in her debut. I have to go with Cerny to repeat her victory.
LOUISE THOMPSON/K.BELL Thompson broke into the FCBA in September losing to Lily Collins by a KO5. Kristen Bell is a 14 year veteran of the FCBA. She has a 41-33-4 record. At 39, she is showing downside symptoms. She is 2-2 for the year, but has lost six of her last eight all to good opponents. Her experience should bring her the win
M.MITCHELL/BUSH Mitchell is another newbie who broke in September winning her fight with Bailee Madison who has not won a fight. Bush is another veteran with a 29-26 record. Now 37, she has lost five of her last six, one being in a title bout. Once again, it a veteran versus a newbie. I have to go with experience. Bush by a KO (that’s certain, the KO that is)
R.B.SMITH/LIPA Smith has had six fights in four years, never more than two in a year. This is her second of the year. She has a 2-4 record but those two wins came in her last three fights. Lipa’s first fight in the FCBA last year was a title fight. Go figure, She lost it Since then she has compiled a 4-1 record, however three of those wins were against bantams. She has a two inch height advantage over Smith. Lipa will win
LOVATO/HILARY DUFF This is nothing more than a stay busy fight for Lovato. I remember Jenny Mac being surprised someone signed Duff. She has had four fights in the last five years. Although she won her last fight, she has lost four of her last five. Her win has apparently convinced management she’s a good fighter. Well, we all make mistakes. Lovato will cruise to a win.
LILLY/RICKARDS Rickards has a winning record and is 3-3 over the last two years. I am not sure if she has ever faced a fighter in the top ten at the time of this bout. This will be Lilly’s 95th fight. She won her 60th bout in the recent FNL card. He win here should guarantee her entry into the Hall Of Fame even is she losing the 100th. It’s the wrong time to fight Lilly Lilly wins
PEREGRYM/LAW Peregrym is a two time bantam, two time lightweight champion. With a 55-31 record, she has a chance for the Hall Of Fame This will be her 90th bout. She is 5-1 this year, with a big win over Palicki in September. She’s a small lightweight. She is facing Law, who is a welter. Law was a frequent member of the top ten until September 2017. Since then she has lost five straight. If Law loses this fight, I think you can assume that she is now on the down side. I have a hard time thinking that Missy can beat an established welter. Can she? Yes. Will she? Yes
STRAHOVSKI/DELEVIGNE This is pretty much of a mismatch. Delevigne comes in with a 9-10 record after losing five of her last six This will be Strahovski’s 94th bout. She is a cinch for the Hall Of Fame by the middle of next year. All she needs is the fights. She already has enough wins. She will add another W to her record
BEER/HALSEY Beer is a newbie with a 2-1 record. Her wins were over Tisdale who everyone beats and Gaga. Halsey is also a newbie with two fights. The difference between the two is Halsey hasn’t beaten anyone. After this fight she still won’t have beaten anyone.
MERNA/L.COLLINS Merna fights mostly in the BBU. Why she is in the FCBA, I have no idea. She has fought zero conventional fights and this bout is not listed as JMD. If it was I wouldn’t be wasting my time. Collins is having a pretty good year being 7-2 going into this bout. Her losses were to Emma Roberts and Michelle Williams although I have to admit her wins were all over average opponents. Collins will win
ORRANTIA/EVE Orrantia is an average fighter. Although she did beat Lavigne. she has lost five of her last six. Eve is in the same category as Orrantia. She did pull off a big upset in beating Megan Fox in a recent stable war. She has lost five of her last seven and one of those losses was to Orrantia. Orrantia repeats
HURLEY/McCARTHY I assume this is a cougar match. Hurley is probably going to be in demand in the cougar circle. She has a 38-29 record and has fought many of the top fighters in the first decade of the FCBA. If her pictures in the Daily Mail are any indication, she is in top shape. Now we come to Mac. What can I say about her? Actually I can say a lot. She’s a close associate of mine. Hurley has never fought a bantam. She has held three unified titles, two at welter. Mac is giving up two inches in height, but she is seven years younger and whey you get to their age, seven is a big number. Mac can even her record for the year with a win. I’m going predict Mac to win She’s a blonde (I think)
CUCINOTTA/THERON A cougar bout. These two fought way back in December 1999. Theron won by a decision. Since then Cucinotta has had several fights in the BBU in 2016-17 winning two of three. Theron’s progress since then is a big piece of FCBA history. Theron is 2-2 for the year with her losses being Upton and Kendall Jenner. Cucinotta is neither. The GOAT will win.
BENOIST/RIDLEY Benoist is another average fighter with a winning record. She’s 3-2 for the year mostly fighting opponents of the same ability Ridley fits into the same category as Benoist and has a similar record. She has lost five of her last seven, however, she has fought much better opposition. Some of those losses were to Scodelario, Lilly and Bella Thorne I’m going to take a chance on Ridley
VAYNTRUB/VIKANDER Vayntrub is another of the numerous newbies flooding into the FCBA. She has lost two of three bouts. Vikander has an even record after eighteen bouts. She 1-2 for the year. Vikander has the experience and has a two inch height advantage. I go with Vikander
M.FOX/LOHAN Fox isn’t having a good year (for her). She is 7-3 for the year losing to Michelle Williams, Eve and Olivia Holt. I would say something good about Lohan, if I could think of something good. I think she has probably set a record for managers. She now in her sixth She has lost six of her last seven. I will go with Fox to win. Civilization demands it
GIBBS/CORRIGAN Corrigan is a another newbie. She has a 4-0 record, beating nobody of note, but fighting competition suitable for her experience. Gibbs is a promising lightweight with a 14-6 record and is 5-3 for the year. He losses were to Sagra, Tailer and Hill. Gibbs has a two inch height advantage. Corrigan is going to regret taking this bout. Gibbs will take her out before the end of the sixth
LOPILATO/HEARD I’m a little disappointed in Lopilato. I thought she might be going places. She’s 10-4 for the last two years. She occasionally moves to lightweight opponents and pays the price. She mainly fights bantams. I am disappointed in the opposition she has chosen to fight. Pretty average to mediocre. Heard is a lightweight who falls into that range. She has lost five of her last six Lopilato has not done well against lightweights but then neither has Heard. I am going to take a chance of Lopilato, There is an even chance I will regret it.
BECKINSALE/BLUNT Two more English girls! Where is that wall? Oh, well. Beckinsale is actually in the VIXEN front office. At 46, she is not the fighter she once was. Ironically after a 46-35 record and a frequent member of the top ten, she has never held a title. Blunt is ten years younger. She has had only two FCBA fights in the last four years. Her last active year was 2014 when she went 2-2. Beckinsale can probably win this fight as long as it doesn’t go long in rounds. Beckinsale will win in five
AGDAL/ALDRIGE Agdal is one of those fighters who beats the average fighter and cough’s it up against good opponents. Aldridge is a similar type fighter to Adgal. She has a 10-6 career record and is 4-3 for the year. Two of her wins were over Agdal. I see no reason why she can’t make three. Aldridge wins.
KANG/O.HOLTS THIS IS A MISMATCH This will be Kang’s first bout of the year. She debuted in 2017 and her career has not exactly taken off. She has lost five of six and has never been in a bout that lasted halfway through the fifth. Boxing World has Holt listed as the number one flyweight contender. She is 4-1 for the year with big wins over Vanessa Hudgens and Megan Fox. Her loss was to Lavigne Holt will have no problems in beating Kang
LOWDES/S.HUDGENS Hudgens has a winning record and has never had a losing season during her brief career. She is 4-3 for the year, however has lost three of her last four. Lowndes is having a fine 7-2 year and is ranked at six in the flyweights. Lowndes adds another W to her record
MORETZ/HOUGH Moretz’s career has turned north in the last two years.(Remember turning south is good, the other direction, not so much) Over that period of time she has lost eight of ten. Hough has a much better 21-13 record but has lost four of her last five. I look for Hough to win
S.GOMEZ/C.PATTON Gomez is having a good year. She is 4-2 raising her career record to 26-17. That doesn’t include a couple of JMD fights as management will put anyone into a JMD fight. Patton is one of those fighters that are on the way to nowhere. She is 6-6 for her career and has lost four of her last five. “Gomey” will win. At least that is what my BFF Cassandra Lynn told me
YUSTMAN/S.TURNER Yustman is a off and on member of the top ten, mostly on. She is 2-2 for the year with her losses being to Kendall Jenner and Ambrosio. She fights a pretty good schedule. Turner has a career record of 10-6 and is 3-0 for the year. One of those wins was over a good bantam. I have to go with Yustman to win. I have to take back what I said about management putting anyone into JMD fights. Same manager, but Yustman has never been in an JMD/D fight. Wonder why.
DECKER/T.WILSON Decker has an outstanding 44-17 record, most of that occurring while she was a member of Front Street. She 4-2 this year in conventional fights. Wilson is a four time unified champion despite having a losing record. She’s been spending time in JMDD. Now 44 she has lost three of her last five over the last five years. I have to go with Decker, Same management as Gomez and Yustman. Decker fights at JMDD
A.ROSE/P.PATTON This will be Roses first conventional FCBA fight. Her only fight in the Association was a JMDD fight which she lost. She’s unmanaged. Patton is 3-4 in her last seven bouts, At the age of 44, She has a career record of 15-20 yet is ranked at 16 in the welters. I think I will take Patton with a losing record over a fighter with no record and a 36H chest. In conventional boxing that “ain’t” exactly an asset.
MEIS/LONGORIA Meis fights mostly in the BBU. In the FCBA she has a 3-2 record in conventional fights that is unremarkable. Longoria is now 44 and is a trainer and reserve member of HMK, She has lost her last eight fights with her last win being back in 2010. If Meis is going to make it in the FCBA she has to win this bout. I am going to take a chance of her
PIETERSE/LOTZ Pieterse has a career record of 10-9 in conventional fights but she has had only four fights in the last three years of which she won three. Lotz has a record similar to that of Pieterse and has won her last four over average competition I’m going to go with Pieterse
BELLISARIO/OLSEN Since losing the bantam title in 3017, Bellisario is 7-5 and 2-1 for the year. She beat Kosarin, but lost to VanCamp. Olsen has a winning record and is 6-4 in her last ten conventional bouts. She does have wins ove Claire Holt and Alyssa Lynch. I think this is a 50/50 bout. I will go with Bellisario
D.CAMPBELL/JUSTICE. Campbell comes into this bout with a 66% win ratio, but has lost three of her five bouts this year. Justice isn’t doing much better. She has a 3-5 record for the year but her losses include KO losses to Duff and Bassinger, both in the sixth round. My opinion of Justice has dropped. I have to go with Campbell
DIDONATO/AMBROSIO This is a big fight in the lightweight division. DiDonato has a 8-1 record for the year in conventional fights. She was headed for a title fight until management decided to waste time and effort in putting her into three JMDD fights. Since losing the title in June, Ambrosio has lost her two of three fights. The losses were to Cerny and Strahovski. She fought and beat DiDonato in January This is another 50/50 bout. I think DiDonato will win,,but I’m not betting my money on it.
D.R.RUSSEL/McNAMARA Russel is another newbie who has had six fights this year winning three. She was pushed too fast and lost to Dennings, Emma Roberts and Olivia Holt McNamara has had five fights in her three year career. She won three. She did fight Lily Collins but the other opponents were unremarkable. Russel lost to some good fighters. The experience should serve her well. I go with Russel
MOORE/RHODA A big welter fight. The 35 year old Moore has a losing record, yet she is ranked at six in the welters by Boxing World and has lost four of her last six. Does that tell you something? Rhoda is ranked at the number one contender. Her record justifies the ranking. She is 7-1 after beating Kostek in September. Rhoda will flatten Moore. Will it take six rounds?
E.HENSTRIDGE/HANRATTY Henstridge has a winning record, however is having a year to forget. She has lost five of six with her only win being over Shenae Grimes. Hanratty is having a better year with a 3-2 record. I just don’t know what’s happened to Henstridge, but I am going to have to predict she will lose
M.KERR/KENDALL JENNER In 2016-2017 Kerr had a sensational 12-1 record beating the likes of Ambrosio, Strahovski and even Kendall Jenner. Those days are over. In the last two years, she has gone 5-6 Jenner is the number one contender for the lightweight title She’s 8-1 for the year after her win over Theron in an unfortunate mismatch. That’s not taking anything away for Kendall. She may be the best lightweight going now. She and Kerr have fought three times with Kerr winning twice. That was then.This in now. Kerr is simply not going to beat Jenner
WINNICK/LARSON Winnick has been a pleasant surprise. Entering the FCBA at cougar age, she has a 25-6 record and is 6-2 for the year and she has beaten some pretty good opponents. Larson is having an equally good year at 5-1. Her one loss was to Robbie, who Winnick has beaten. That doesn’t mean much. What’s more important is Larson is 12 years younger and three inches taller. That’s a tough order for Winnick. Larson’s height advantage makes me think that Larson is going to win
GARDNER/A.GREENE Gardner is Winnick’s stablemate. She hasn’t done nearly as well, however, she has a good 12-7 record. She is 7-4 for the year. One of her losses was to Larson, who her stablemate is fighting in this PPV. Greene comes into this bout with a 24-22 record. A ten year veteran, Greene has fought most if not all, of the top bantams. Gardner has a three inch height advantage, however in this case, Greene’s experience against the better opponents leads me to believe that Greene will win
MAYBERRY/PALLET Mayberry is one of the two weak links in the Dollhouse. She has a 7-5 record, but has been fighting subpar opponents. In her last bout she lost to Moner, whose quality remains to be seen. Pallet falls into the average class. This will be her first conventional bout this year. She has lost four of her last five. This is a 50/50 fight. I take a chance of Mayberry
HAYLEY WILLIAMS/BECKY G. Hayley is the other weak link in the Dollhouse and is actually their weakest fighter as evidenced by the number of bouts she has had when compared to her stablemates. She has a 6-6 record and is 2-2 for the year. Becky G is a newbie who has had only one bout. That bout was against Lavigne, who is the queen of the Dollhouse. Of course, Becky G lost. I never heard of Becky G until her first fight. I do know Hayley as I have seen her in a Nashville club with Paramore. She’s a excellent performer. I’ll go with Hayley
B.THORNE/SCODELARIO For the bantam title. This will be Thorne’s second title defense in her second title reign. She defeated Kosarin in September. Thorne occassionaly strays into JMD. Those fights reduce her career record to 22-8 and 6-3 for the year. Her losses were to Lilly, Lovato and Ren, a lightweight Among her wins were Ren and Jennifer Lawrence who usually fights at welter and has a title fight later in this PPV. Scodelario is no slouch. She has a 29-8 career record and is 5-2 for the year. This will be Scodelario’s chance for a second title. She won her first title last year beating none other than Bella Thorne. Can she do it twice? I really don’t know. A flip of the coin comes up Thorne
SWIFT/WINSTEAD For the lightweight title. This will be Swift’s fifth title defense. This will be Winstead’s 100th bout, but she is short on Hall Of Fame wins having 55. It’s not out of the realm of possibility, that with a nice winning streak she could make it. The problem is she has made a career of fighting the best which is why she is one of my favorites. She fought Swift once and lost. I am going to say that Winstead will win simply because I want her to She has held the title three times. She deserves a fourth
LAWRENCE/RIGHETTI You know the drill. I will keep saying Righetti will win until she doesn’t
