TESS VALMORE
Once I again i present this month’s edition of my much ridiculed predictions. As usual, it is littered with unflattering comments, cheap shots and unjustified criticism. Last month, I went 35-10 running my total to 2156-649 still 77% correct.
PEREGRYM/TELES This will be Peregrym’s 95th fight. She won her 60th fight in the March PPV, guaranteeing her a spot in the Hall Of Fame as soon as she get to 100 fights. She has won nine of her last eleven. Teles has only had three fights which she won over carefully chosen opponents who had the name recognition but were all on the downside. Despite that Teles is promising. I don’t think she is ready for Missy. Teles has a two inch height advantage. It won’t help as she suffers her first defeat.
VANCAMP/ATWELL VanCamp has a career win average of 70% She, however has gone into a slump losing five of her last six. Her one win was over Pausini who everyone beats. Atwell has also won 70% of her fights, but she has only had ten. She has lost three of her last four. Despite VanCamp being a bantam and Atwell being a lightweight, VanCamp has a two inch height advantage. I haven’t been impressed with Atwell. VanCamp will return to her winning ways
KENDALL JENNER/STRAHOVSKI Jenner is ranked as the number one contender in both rankings. Strahovski is ranked at six in Tractorpull and five by Boxing World. This will be Strahovski’s 98th fight and she guaranteed a spot in the Hall of Fame as a new wave of fighters who started ten or eleven years ago hit the numbers. The two have fought twice with each winning one. I like both of these two, but I have to go with Jenner to win the rubber match.
E.HENSTRIDGE/BASSINGER Henstridge has a winning record, but I think she is a average fighter. She usually beat the opponents she is predicted to and loses the one she is supposed to. She had a bad year last year losing seven of ten, but won her first bout of this year. Bassinger won her first four last year fighting opponents appropriate for her experience. This year management stepped up her opponents going so far that in the last PPV she was put against Michelle Williams. You can guess how that turned out. Only twenty years of age Bassinger is 13 years younger than Henstridge, but is two inches shorter. This is a fight Henstridge should win. In this case she won’t
MAISIE WILLIAMS/SCERBO Everyone should know that Cassandra Lynn is my BFF. I have to go with her no matter who she fights. Well, if was Righetti maybe not, but isn’t Amanda. It’s Maisie and Scerbo will notch another win
AMBROSIO/WINSTEAD Ambrosio has held the lightweight title once. Winstead has held it twice. Boxing World rates Winstead at thirteen and Ambrosio at eighteen. Winstead has lost three of her last four. Ambrosio has lost two of her last four. Winstead has fought the better opposition, The two have fought twice with each holding a win. The rubber match will go to Winstead.
RHODA/RIGHETTI A dream welter match Rhoda had a nine win streak broken when she lost the title fight to Palicki in the March PPV. Righetti had a 24 bout win streak broken in January when she lost to Kendall Jenner and then lost the title to Palicki. The two have fought twice with Righetti winning both. She will make three in a row
KILLMER/KYLIE JENNER Killmer is a newbie who lost her first fight to Shay Mitchell. Kylie Jenner is nowhere as good as her sister and never will be. She has a 3-4 record in conventional bouts. Killmer’s loss to Mitchell and Dixon who has been having their own problems winning, makes me think that Jenner will win this bout
CHRISLEY/B.MADISON Chrisley is making her FCBA debut. She is supposed to be a reality TV personality, whatever that is. Madison has had three fights and has yet to last past the sixth round. This is the type match that I will probably watch from the bar and let Smackey buy me an adult beverage or two. I really don’t care who wins this bout, but I have to pick one. I’ll go with Chrisley because she is a blonde
SWIFT/ARTERTON Swift looking to get back on the winning track after losing her title in the March PPV. Arterton has an amazing 51-8 record. Although she has beaten some top fighters, Palicki for one, her opposition has generally been on the light side, while Swift has fought the cream of the crop. Arterton can definitely win this bout, but I am going to have to take a chance on Swift
BARROS/LAWRENCE Barros broke in last year and finished with a 4-4 record in conventional bouts. Her big win was over Lawley in December. Lawrence was having a rough time in the lightweights and decided to move to the welters. Since the move she is 6-6. She beat Rhoda and Decker among others but lost to DiDonato a lightweight and to Bella Thorne, a bantam. Imagine a welter losing to a bantam. Well it happened I believe that Lawrence is going to win this one
GRIMES/PALLETT Grimes has an 8-6 record, but has lost four of her last six. It'sPallett has a losing career record and has lost five of her last seven bouts. Pallett is now 38 while Grimes is 30 and is two inches taller. I go with youth and height. Grimes will beat Pallett
MORETZ/D.CAMERON Moretz is a average fighter who has faced average fighters and has a 10-12 record and has lost her last six. Cameron is an average fighter who has fought a better schedule than Moretz and has a 4-10 record to show for it Three of her last four losses were to Lavigne and Michelle Williams twice. I am going with Cameron to add another W to her record
DOBREV/A.MICHALKA Dobrev is the number three bantam challenger according to Boxing World. Michalka comes in a fifteen. Over the last two years Dobrev has compiled a 14-2 record. This will be Dobrev’s first fight of the year.
Michalka has had only three fights last year winning two. She lost her first bout this year. Dobrev will win
YUSTMAN/HANNAH BROWN Yustman was a regular in or around the top ten for 3-4 years. That ended in the middle of last year when she lost three straight high profile fights Brown is another fighter who debuted this year winning her first bout beating Smulders. I have little doubt that Yustman will win this fight
CORRIGAN/REN Corrigan broke in last year and now has won five of six. Boxing World has Ren ranked as the number two challenger. Tractorpull has her ranked at three. Ren is too much for Corrigan at her stage of the FCBA, Ren has been known to get upset, but it isn’t going to happen this time. Ren will win
McPHERSON/BELLUCCI A cougar bout. McPherson is now 57. That a little old even for a cougar and had a 11-13 record. She was one of the fighters involved in the famous Theron fighting a different fighter in each round of ten round bout. Bellucci is only a year younger and had a 18-19 record. Her last fight was in 2010. McPherson is 5 inches taller that Bellucci, but she is willowy, while Bellucci is solid. I have to go with Bellucci in spite of the height difference
LIND/MCNAMARA Lind is basically a JMD fighter. Her record in conventional fights is 8-2. Her big win was beating Alyssa Lynch in this year in a VIX stable war. McNamara presently has a 6-4 record and has split two bouts this year. Actually, I like McNamara better than Lind. but my likes don’t win fights. Lind will be the victor
S.CARTER/LAVIGNE Carter is in the Hall Of Fame. I made a big mistake when I left her name off the roster in the Lilly inductions She had a 4-3 record but age is starting to take it’s toll. Lavigne is another fighter that I have a poor relationship with. No, make that a bad relationship. I don’t like her post fight antics. Lavigne has had two sensational years going 31-6 in 2018-19 against decent opposition. Carter lost to Winnick last year. If she can’t beat Winnick, she wont beat Lavigne
HALE/FOX Hale has a 31-32 record, which is not bad when you consider shel lost her first nine fights and then came back to win the title. She was 4-2 last year, but lost her first two bouts this year. After being an average fighter for eleven years, Fox went on a tear and had sensational years in 2017-18 and a good year last year. Despite both being in the FCBA for years, they have never fought. My money is on Fox
BENSON/SAGE Benson is one of the PLP fighters who is having a bad time. She has lost six of her last seven. She is in such a rut she lost to Kim Kardashian. I don’t remember Sage. She made her debut on the February PPV losing to Alison Mac. Benson is having hard time, but she should beat Sage.
GILLIES/MCCARTHY Gillies appears to be no better than an average fighter. She has a 7-8 record and has lost five of her last six. Mac is actually a friend of mine even if we almost get into it in every Asylum broadcast. It wouldn’t go well for her. Mac is 1-2 for the year after taking care of Munn in the St Paddy’s day brawl. Gillies is also 22 years younger than Mac but I doubt it’s going to help her. Mac confided in me that she was going to “beat the snot” of Gillies. I believe her
LOPILATO/VIKANDER Lopilato has a 24-9 record, but is ranked at 45 in Boxing Worlds bantam rankings She won eight of her last thirteen. Vikander has a 10-9 record and would have had a winning recorded if she hadn’t challenged my BFF, Cassandra Lynn to a best of three. Boxing World has her ranked down at 58. I think the rankings are right. Lopilato will win
GIBBS/W.DAY Gibbs enters with a 17-9 record. She was on the verge of breaking into the top ten several times only to lose a big bout. She was 7-4 last year in conventional bouts, but lost her first two bouts of this year Day was a winner of a new blood tournament. She has a 7-2 record. Gibbs has a two height advantage. Its enough to win this bout.
AGDAL/SAMPAIO Agdal maybe one of the underrated fighters in the FCBA. She has had 9-3 record since the beginning of last year and has won 69% of here career fights. Sampaio had a good record in the BBU, but her FCBA career had not gone well. She has lost six of seven. Make that seven of eight after this bout
A.LNYCH/I.LUCAS MISMATCH Lynch has won 66% of her career fights but has lost her last three failing to finish the fifth in any of them. As a result her ranking in Boxing World has dropped to 43. Luca debuted in 2017 and has only had two bouts which she lost. This is a blatant mismatch Does that give you the idea that Lynch if going to win?
THERON/GARRETT The GOAT, now 44, continues her cougar campaign looking for fighters she should have fought in her earlier years. Garretts name came up. They had fought once before with Theron winning. Garrett saw a chance for revenge, thus the fight. The Golden Goddess still doesn’t plan on fighting an opponent more than twice. She will win .
PORTMAN/LOWNDES Portman now 38, is in the Hall Of Fame. She has a 4-2 last year, but lost her first bout of this year. Lowndes is 31 and is on a roll. She is 10-2 since the beginning of last year in conventional fights. Despite being in the FCBA together for ten years, they have only fought once with Lowndes winning. She will repeat.
KEEGAN/KUNIS Keegan fights in the BBU and the FCBA plus JMD. She has a winning record in both organizations. She has only had four fights in the FCBA since the beginning of last year and she lost three of them. Like so many that came up in the early years of the FCBA. Kunis seems to be fading. She has lost six of her last eight after getting beaten by Ridley in the March PPV. One of her two wins was against Keegan. Kunis has more at stake here. I question how long the Consortium will put up with her recent record. I’ll go with Kunis, but I am not betting any of the coin of the realm on it
PAUSINI/DIXON Not advertised as a cougar bout. I have to ask, why if Pausini still fighting. She is 45 years old and has had fifteen FCBA fights and has won zip, zero, none. She actually challenged the GOAT for their March PPV fight. Maybe she still around because she is a member of the Latin Union, that specializes in bad Italian fighters like Leone, Frege, Marrone and Pausini Their combined record is 9-62. That said, the stable Is the most loyal stable in the FCBA as far as its relations with its members, which is commendable to some extent. Dixon has 100 fights in the BBU and FCBA Her FCBA record is a spectacular 4-25 after her win on the March PPV. Dixon who is only 41 will win.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Italians
N.SCOTT/KOSARIN Scott is a promising bantam from the Consortium. She has an 8-2 record and has won seven of her last eight with her loss being to Ginny Gardner. Now is going to face Kosarin, who is the number five bantam according to Boxing World. Too much, too soon for Scott. Kosarin wins
LILLY/SCODELARIO For the bantam title This is Lilly’s first fight after being inducted into the Hall Of Fame. She is now 40 and has been in the FCBA since 2004. She is presently on a six fight win streak. Her last loss was to none other than Scodelario in August of last year. Scodelario has won nine of twelve since the beginning of last year. The two have fought three times with Scodelario winning two of the three. For some getting into the Hall seems to be a curse. Kaley Cuoco is a good example. I think this is actually a 50/50 fight. I am going to take a chance on Lilly, but I am not overly confident about that
DIDONATO/S.TURNER This is DiDonato’s first title defense. Since the beginning of last year she has won sixteen of twenty bouts. Turner went 7-0 last year but the list of her opponent is not exactly impressive. Two of her victims were bantams. Yustman was the only good lightweight she beat. The two have fought once before with DiDonato winning. She will win again
PALICKI/DECKER For the welter title This will be Palicki’s second title defense. Decker is on a six fight win streak that includes wins over Kendall Jenner and Hannah Ferguson The two have fought once before with Decker winning. This is going to be a tough fight for Decker. Palicki is two inches taller and you have to respect anyone who can flatten Righetti. Despite that I think that Decker is going to win. We need a blonde welter champ
Once I again i present this month’s edition of my much ridiculed predictions. As usual, it is littered with unflattering comments, cheap shots and unjustified criticism. Last month, I went 35-10 running my total to 2156-649 still 77% correct.
