TESS VALMORE
Once 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 was not a particularly good month as iI went 34-18 running my total to 2222-679 still 77% correct
CHALOTRA/KANG Chalotra made her debut in March and is now 1-1. Kang hasn't exactly set the FCBA on fire. She has had seven bouts and lost six of them. She has her last four. She has a three inch height advantage over Chalotra. I don’t think it is going to help her. Chalotra will win
ALBA/PATTISON. This is listed as a CBAD bout, but I will go ahead and predict it here. Pattison came over from the BBU in February. She has had two fights, winning one. She has a 7-2-1 record in the BBU. Alba is a four time champion, one at flyweight and three at bantam, two of which were unified. That said. Alba could be termed a disaster area She lost thirteen straight before winning two bouts on Vix cards against opponents who had never won a bout. I think Pattison will win
WITT/THERON Simguy used to say one of Theron’s problems was over-confidence. Thus on 3/21/09, Witt who had had only three fights dominated the bout and left Theron an unrecognizable “mumbling wreck” in a TKO9 win. After the bout, she said “she doubted very much Charlize would want any part of her any time soon” She was right. Eleven years later however, Theron finally came calling. She wants revenge. Witt’s TKO of Theron was the last fight she would ever win. She won’t win this bout either. Theron get’s her revenge I see there is talk about me being good friends with Charlize. Well, I am. Get over it
FREGE/LILLY THIS IS A BLATANT MISMATCH Lilly is a member of the HALL OF FAME. Lilly has a 67-33-2 record and is a seven time unified bantam champion. She lost the title to Kosarin in the May PPF, but does she really have to go against one of the worst fighters to grace the FCBA. Frege has a 9-41 record and has lost eighteen of her last twenty bouts. Lilly will end this bout anytime she wants to
PAUSINI/PEREGRYM THIS IS A BLATANT MISMATCH If Frege is a terrible fighter, she looks like a champ when compared to Pausini. Pausini has had sixteen FCBA fights and is yet to win one. That’s right. The record is 0-16. This will be Missy 98th fight on the way to the Hall Of Fame. She has the wins, she just needs the fights. I expect Pausini will be gone by the end of the fifth.
LOTZ/CHOPRA Lotz is not a very active fighter, She has had eleven fights over the last three years and she has won eight of the eleven Chopra has lost five of her last six, but she has fought far tougher fighters than Lotz. Chopra really needs to get back on the good side of Hawkeye. A win here will do it. She will get it
MICHELLE WILLIAMS/JOHANSSON Michelle comes into this bout with a 2-1 record for the year. The loss was to Lowndes. Johansson is 6-1 in 2020 and this will be her third fight in the month of June. The two have fought three times before with Williams winning two. Williams. a ten time champion and a member of the Hall Of Fame will win this bout and go up 3-1 in the series.
V.GARDNER/RICKARDS Gardner has a 14-9 record and is 1-1 for the year. Rickards has a 12-7 record and has had only one fight this year which she won. That said, she has lost three of her last four although two of the them were to Lilly and Megan Fox. Rickards has fought the better competition recently. I like Gardner, but I have to go with Rickards to win
B.THORNE/LARSON Thorne has a 3-1 record for the year. That one loss was to Lilly in a title fight in January. Larson is 2-2 in the current year. Those losses were to Lilly in a title fight and to Kosarin, the current champion. Boxing World has Thorne ranked as the number one challenger and Larson slated at six. In her last fight she beat Scodelario. I’m going to take a chance on Larson. She has fought far better competition recently
LAVIGNE/McNAMARA This is more than the human heart should have to bear, having to watch Thorne and Lavigne back to back. To say they are near the top of my dislike list would be an accurate statement. This will be Lavigne’s seventh fight of the year. She has won four of the previous six and is ranked as the number seven contender in Boxing Worlds flyweight rankings. McNamara has gained some fans over the last year. She is 8-2 since the beginning of 2019 and has climbed to sixteen in the Boxing Worlds’s rankings. Nothing would please me more than to see Lavigne lose. Unfortunately It isn’t going to happen
WINNICK/S.MITCHELL Winnick is one of the Doll House fighters I like and so does management. She is right up there with my bad two (Thorne and Lavigne) in activity. Unfortunately, she hasn’t done very well recently. She has lost four of her last five. Two of those losses were to Lilly and Larson. Mitchell had a terrible year last year going 1-7. She seems to have straightened out this year and has won three of four. Winnick is holding down the 19th slot in the bantam ranking while MItchell is ranked at 26. Mitchell is not only younger, but she has a three inch height advantage. I have to go with Mitchell
ORRANTIA/MUDD Mudd is Front Street’s JMD specialist. She has had four conventional fights winning them all. Orrantia on the other hand is a subpar fighter who has lost eight of her last nine. I think that Mudd will make that nine losses out of Orranatia’s the last ten
SCHIFFER/KLUM A cougar match. Schiffer is actually a couple month’s short of being forty. No matter, you can all this a regular fight if you so choose. Schiffer has had only one fight way back in 1999, which she lost to Cindy Crawford. Klum’s experience in the FCBA has been fruitless. She has lost her last ten bouts with her last win being in 2001. Schiffer has a two inch height advantage. I have no doubt that Schiffer will win
MORETZ/HANRATTY Moretz has a losing record, but seems to be turning a career around having won her last five. Hanratty has a winning record, but has lost three of her last five, with two losses being to top ten opponents. Hanratty has the edge in experience, but Moretz has a three inch height advantage. I go with height, plus Moretz is blonde.
C.COLEL/MEIS Cole was a sensation from 2015 to 2018 winning 24 of 29 bouts. In 2019 things went north (remember going north is bad. Going south is good) Since then, she is 4-6. Meis is now 41 years old. Most of her fights have been in the BBU. She is 6-4 in the FCBA. those ten fights occurring over a period of five years. Things get better for Cole as she wins
MARKLE/PATTISON I have heard all I want to hear about Markle, a grade B actress who has been a disaster for the Crown. She has won four of her last five against poor competition. Pattison has only had two fights in the FCBA, of which she has won one. Markle will win, but I won’t be watching. I’ll be down in the bar. Call me when the fight is over and Markle has gone to the dressing room. I don’t even want to look at her.
DOBREV/A.MICHALKA Dobrev lost her first fight of the year to Scodelario, but has won nine of her last eleven and is ranked at eight in the bantams. Michalka has a good career record, but she has lost six of her last eight. Two fighters going in opposite directions. Dobrev will make in ten wins out of twelve tries.
STRIJD/McKINNEY Strijd first two years were winning years. The last year and a half are losing years. She has lost her last three fights although to good fighters. McKinney has a great win/loss record, but she is one of those who beats average to below average fighters and cough’s it up against good opponents. I would say the Strijd fit’s in the middle of those two groups and she has an almost four inch height advantage. I have to go with Strijd
BECKY G/E.CLARKE As far as I am concerned, Becky G. is not very impressive as a fighter or as a singer. She has a winning record, but has lost three of her last five. Clarke has a winning record in the BBU and a losing record in the FCBA. Sound familiar? She’s 2-4 over the last three years. Not much to choose here, but Clarke does have a two inch height advantage. That’s enough for her to beat Becky G
RAMIREZ/C.MENDES This is supposed to be a rematch but I can’t find the first match. According to the Archives Ramirez has had two fights the last one being against Merced. Ramirez has yet to win a bout. I don’t know who won the first bout, but Mendes will win his one
POMPLUM/BENOIST Pomplum has had two fights winning one. Benoist has had 24 fights and lost six of her last seven. The question is, how valuable is experience against a new and unproven fighter? I’m going with experience. Benoist will defeat Pomplum
J.KING/BENSON King broke in last year and has now had three fights winning two. Benson is another PLP fighter who is seeing her fighting career go down the tubes. She is 2-10 since September 2018. Losing this fight could well result in her leaving PLP She’s desperate. I will take a chance that Benson will survive
LIND/H.KING Lind has mostly fought at JMD the last fifteen months. During that time she is 2-2 in conventional bouts. One of those wins was over King. King was canned by Front Street and then signed by Knockout Babes In March. She has lost her first two fights under new management and four of her last five. She will lose this bout, leaving her winless under the new group
S.TURNER/HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY. I love the English, but these hyphenated last names got to go. I’ve said it ought to be against the law to a have surname of nineteen digits. Rosie is unusual. She has a much better record in the FCBA than she does in the BBU. She’s having a good year this year being 4-0 with an upset of Agdal to her credit. Turner has won eight of her last nine and every loss she has suffered in the last three years has been to a top ten fighter. HW has a two inch height advantage. It won’t help as she loses her first fight of the year
DIDONATO/TELES Teles is off the great start in the FCBA. She has won her first four fights including a win over Peregrym. Still, she is a little over-ambitious when she takes on DiDonato. This is not a good time to tackle DiDonato. She just lost the lightweight title to Ren. She’s in no mood to tolerate Teles. DiDonato hands Teles her first loss
E.WATSON/SHIPKA Watson is on a great run. She is 25-6 since the beginning of 2017 and she is ranked at two in the flyweights by Boxing World and should be ranked at one. This actually looks like a mismatch to me. Shipka has only had three fights winning two and her opponents were nothing to brag about. If Shipka wins this bout, it will be a contender for the upset of the year. It isn’t going to happen. Shipka is going to regret taking this fight
M.FOX/KREUK Megan Fox has been a hot fighter for four years now. This will be her eighth fight of the year. She has won five of her previous seven. She is ranked at eight in the flyweights by Boxing World. Kruek is a member of the 100 fight club. She is now 37 and is at the end of the line. She has lost her eight of her last line. I doubt Hawkeye will put up with her recent performance much longer. Although she has held three unified titles, Kreuk has dropped to 36 in the flyweights and that’s probably generous. Fox will win this bout. Will Kreuk survive this loss?
L.COLLINS/GHADIE THIS IS A MISMATCH. This will be Collins’ seventh fight of the year. She has won four of the previous six. She has won 75% of her fights and is ranked at five in the flyweights. Ghadie mainly fights in the BBU where she has a losing record but it’s better than her FCBA record of 4-15. She has lost five of her last six. Collins should have little trouble in winning
LOPILATO/A.GREENE Lopilato is a sometime bantam, sometime lightweight. She has won four of five this year with a win over Ambrosio. Her loss was to Atwell. She is ranked at 36 in bantams. Greene is an average fighter who had a winning record until October of last year. She is now underwater having lost her last four and has dropped to 75 in the ranking. If Lopilato can beat Ambrosio, she can beat Greene and she will
OLSEN/LOVATO This is a top bantam match. Lovato is ranked at ten and Olsen at eleven. Olsen is having a good 2020. After losing the first fight of the year to Mitchell, she has won five straight. I, however, always wonder about her. She lost to Frege, which puts her in a very small club. Since the beginning of last year Lovato is 12-5 and has fought a tougher schedule than Olsen. I have to go with Lovato
GILLAN/REGAN GIllan appears to be an average fighter. She has a winning record in the BBU, but is 4-6 in the FCBA. So far this year, she has beaten Patton and Azalea who both have losing records and that was enough to jump her fifty spots. That can happen only in the welters. A couple years ago Regan dominated the welters with Righetti. Those days are over at least for Regan. There are now five or six good welters and Regan isn’t one of them. Over the last three years she is 8-8 and that’s good enough to put her at eleven in the rankings, again only in the welters. I don’t have a clue, but I will go with Regan for old times sake.
HENSTRIDGE/J.L.COLEMAN Henstridge is an average fighter. I can’t see her ever being a contender. She had a terrible 2019 but is 2-1 for this year. Too early to say she has turned around. Coleman has been fighting mostly in the BBU. She has had only one conventional fight in the FCBA since the beginning of last year. She lost that one to Lavigne. She did have one JMD fight which she lost to Kim Kardashian. Anytime you lose any type of fight to Kardashian raises warning flags to me but I have to go with Coleman to win
MAISIE WILLIAMS/K.BELL Williams is another who mostly fights in the BBU. Her record in the BBU is better than her record in the FCBA, but that’s kind of normal. That said, she has a 7-5 in the FCBA although she has lost three of her last four. Bell has held the unified flyweight title three times. The last time was in 2013. Since that time she has gone 6-10. She has lost both her fights this year, one to Kate Mara which is nothing to brag about, but she did beat her in 2019. This one of those fights I couldn’t care less about. I have to predict it so I will go with Williams. It’s a flip of the coin thing
SCODELARIO/N.SCOTT Scodelario is 10-5 since the beginning of 2019 She won the bantam title 2018. She is 3-2 for this year losing her last two to Lilly and Larson. Boxing World has her ranked at seven in the bantams. Scott has been impressive since her 2017 debut. Her record is now 9-3, however she has basically faced middle of the road bantams. She did suffer a shocking loss to Kosarin in April. Her losing wasn’t shocking, but a loss by a UD was. It was one of the extremely rare fights that doesn’t result in a KO. In this fight, Scott is going to lose again, but it’s not going to be by UD’
KENDALL JENNER/T.HILL I think Hill is a very promising lightweight, but let’s not make this complicated. There are two fighters I don’t bet against. One is Righetti and the other is Jenner. Enough said
AMBROSIO/ALDRIDGE Ambrosio is a former champion, but she has lost seven of her last ten bouts. She has fallen to the 29th slot in the lightweights behind Lopilato and Atwell. Aldridge is a California girl who started out in the minors. After going 5-0 in the BBU, she moved up to the big time and has been 11-7. She has won five of her last six. She has beaten average fighters, but failed to make the top twenty. Ambrosio is no longer in the top twenty, but is good enough to beat Aldridge.
RHODA/PATTON THIS IS A MISMATCH. Boxing World has Rhoda ranked at six in the welters. Patton comes in at 19. Rhoda has held the title once,Patton never. Rhoda has won eleven of her last fourteen. Patton has won five of her last thirteen. Rhoda is 5’11’. Patton is 5’ 7” Rhoda is 33. Patton is 44. Do you really think Patton is gong to win? She won’t
FREEMAN/BROOK Freeman used to be a top ten welter. She has fallen to 14 in the welters. Maybe that’s because she has lost six of her last eight. Again, only in the welters. Brook, who is now 40 has also lost six of her last eight and is ranked at 13. Do you get the impression this division is on life support. The two have fought once before with Freeman winning. This will be Brooks 125 fight. It should be her last, but the welters can’t spare her. Freeman wins
ROSE/SWEENY Rose in a JMD specialist, but in conventional fights she has beaten Lovato twice, Panettiere and Lowndes. Her record is 5-3 in conventional fights. Sweeny burst on the scene recently like she is going to be the savior of the FCBA. (just a little sarcasm). I had never heard of her, but then if her show is not on Netflix, I’m not going to see it. She has had one JMD fight, so this will be her conventional debut. She has all the hype, but is she really the savior? I’ll take a chance and go against all the hype. Rose will win
HOLT/PORTMAN For the flyweight title This will be Holt’s second title defense. She is currently on a seven fight win streak. Portman is a ten time unified flyweight champion and a member of the Hall Of Fame. Portman at 39 hasn’t slowed down much. She is 6-3 in the last eighteen months. I would really like to see Pdortman win this fight as it is probably her last chance at a title, but she is seventeen years older than Holt. I think Holt will retain her it
KOSARIN/McCARTHY THIS IS A MISMATCH. Theron recently became the oldest fighter to contend for the title at the age of 44. Now Mac is going to break that record being 47, as she sticks her tongue out at what she considers the gutless Theron. This is the second time she has fought Kosarin this year. She lasted less than six in the first. Someone reminded her that Theron had beaten Kosarin. You know Mac. Whatever Theron can do, she can do better Now all she has to do will be to convince Kosarin of that. Now don’t get me wrong, I like Mac. I just don’t think she is going to win the title
REN/SWIFT I never pictured Ren as a title holder, but since the beginning of 2019 she has won eighteen of her last twenty-three bouts. This will be her first title defense Swift in the same time period won twenty-one of twenty-five. She just got taken to the cleaners by Upton a couple days ago. Will she recover in time for this bout? The two have fought three times with Swift winning two. I have to go with Swift to regain the title
DECKER/T.ATKINSON I am still angry with Decker and her management forcing Theron into a blatant mismatch. All I can say is, that I sincerely hope that Atkinson cleans her clock. She did it once before and she can do it again. Atkinson ends Decker’s title run
Once 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 was not a particularly good month as iI went 34-18 running my total to 2222-679 still 77% correct
CHALOTRA/KANG Chalotra made her debut in March and is now 1-1. Kang hasn't exactly set the FCBA on fire. She has had seven bouts and lost six of them. She has her last four. She has a three inch height advantage over Chalotra. I don’t think it is going to help her. Chalotra will win
ALBA/PATTISON. This is listed as a CBAD bout, but I will go ahead and predict it here. Pattison came over from the BBU in February. She has had two fights, winning one. She has a 7-2-1 record in the BBU. Alba is a four time champion, one at flyweight and three at bantam, two of which were unified. That said. Alba could be termed a disaster area She lost thirteen straight before winning two bouts on Vix cards against opponents who had never won a bout. I think Pattison will win
WITT/THERON Simguy used to say one of Theron’s problems was over-confidence. Thus on 3/21/09, Witt who had had only three fights dominated the bout and left Theron an unrecognizable “mumbling wreck” in a TKO9 win. After the bout, she said “she doubted very much Charlize would want any part of her any time soon” She was right. Eleven years later however, Theron finally came calling. She wants revenge. Witt’s TKO of Theron was the last fight she would ever win. She won’t win this bout either. Theron get’s her revenge I see there is talk about me being good friends with Charlize. Well, I am. Get over it
FREGE/LILLY THIS IS A BLATANT MISMATCH Lilly is a member of the HALL OF FAME. Lilly has a 67-33-2 record and is a seven time unified bantam champion. She lost the title to Kosarin in the May PPF, but does she really have to go against one of the worst fighters to grace the FCBA. Frege has a 9-41 record and has lost eighteen of her last twenty bouts. Lilly will end this bout anytime she wants to
PAUSINI/PEREGRYM THIS IS A BLATANT MISMATCH If Frege is a terrible fighter, she looks like a champ when compared to Pausini. Pausini has had sixteen FCBA fights and is yet to win one. That’s right. The record is 0-16. This will be Missy 98th fight on the way to the Hall Of Fame. She has the wins, she just needs the fights. I expect Pausini will be gone by the end of the fifth.
LOTZ/CHOPRA Lotz is not a very active fighter, She has had eleven fights over the last three years and she has won eight of the eleven Chopra has lost five of her last six, but she has fought far tougher fighters than Lotz. Chopra really needs to get back on the good side of Hawkeye. A win here will do it. She will get it
MICHELLE WILLIAMS/JOHANSSON Michelle comes into this bout with a 2-1 record for the year. The loss was to Lowndes. Johansson is 6-1 in 2020 and this will be her third fight in the month of June. The two have fought three times before with Williams winning two. Williams. a ten time champion and a member of the Hall Of Fame will win this bout and go up 3-1 in the series.
V.GARDNER/RICKARDS Gardner has a 14-9 record and is 1-1 for the year. Rickards has a 12-7 record and has had only one fight this year which she won. That said, she has lost three of her last four although two of the them were to Lilly and Megan Fox. Rickards has fought the better competition recently. I like Gardner, but I have to go with Rickards to win
B.THORNE/LARSON Thorne has a 3-1 record for the year. That one loss was to Lilly in a title fight in January. Larson is 2-2 in the current year. Those losses were to Lilly in a title fight and to Kosarin, the current champion. Boxing World has Thorne ranked as the number one challenger and Larson slated at six. In her last fight she beat Scodelario. I’m going to take a chance on Larson. She has fought far better competition recently
LAVIGNE/McNAMARA This is more than the human heart should have to bear, having to watch Thorne and Lavigne back to back. To say they are near the top of my dislike list would be an accurate statement. This will be Lavigne’s seventh fight of the year. She has won four of the previous six and is ranked as the number seven contender in Boxing Worlds flyweight rankings. McNamara has gained some fans over the last year. She is 8-2 since the beginning of 2019 and has climbed to sixteen in the Boxing Worlds’s rankings. Nothing would please me more than to see Lavigne lose. Unfortunately It isn’t going to happen
WINNICK/S.MITCHELL Winnick is one of the Doll House fighters I like and so does management. She is right up there with my bad two (Thorne and Lavigne) in activity. Unfortunately, she hasn’t done very well recently. She has lost four of her last five. Two of those losses were to Lilly and Larson. Mitchell had a terrible year last year going 1-7. She seems to have straightened out this year and has won three of four. Winnick is holding down the 19th slot in the bantam ranking while MItchell is ranked at 26. Mitchell is not only younger, but she has a three inch height advantage. I have to go with Mitchell
ORRANTIA/MUDD Mudd is Front Street’s JMD specialist. She has had four conventional fights winning them all. Orrantia on the other hand is a subpar fighter who has lost eight of her last nine. I think that Mudd will make that nine losses out of Orranatia’s the last ten
SCHIFFER/KLUM A cougar match. Schiffer is actually a couple month’s short of being forty. No matter, you can all this a regular fight if you so choose. Schiffer has had only one fight way back in 1999, which she lost to Cindy Crawford. Klum’s experience in the FCBA has been fruitless. She has lost her last ten bouts with her last win being in 2001. Schiffer has a two inch height advantage. I have no doubt that Schiffer will win
MORETZ/HANRATTY Moretz has a losing record, but seems to be turning a career around having won her last five. Hanratty has a winning record, but has lost three of her last five, with two losses being to top ten opponents. Hanratty has the edge in experience, but Moretz has a three inch height advantage. I go with height, plus Moretz is blonde.
C.COLEL/MEIS Cole was a sensation from 2015 to 2018 winning 24 of 29 bouts. In 2019 things went north (remember going north is bad. Going south is good) Since then, she is 4-6. Meis is now 41 years old. Most of her fights have been in the BBU. She is 6-4 in the FCBA. those ten fights occurring over a period of five years. Things get better for Cole as she wins
MARKLE/PATTISON I have heard all I want to hear about Markle, a grade B actress who has been a disaster for the Crown. She has won four of her last five against poor competition. Pattison has only had two fights in the FCBA, of which she has won one. Markle will win, but I won’t be watching. I’ll be down in the bar. Call me when the fight is over and Markle has gone to the dressing room. I don’t even want to look at her.
DOBREV/A.MICHALKA Dobrev lost her first fight of the year to Scodelario, but has won nine of her last eleven and is ranked at eight in the bantams. Michalka has a good career record, but she has lost six of her last eight. Two fighters going in opposite directions. Dobrev will make in ten wins out of twelve tries.
STRIJD/McKINNEY Strijd first two years were winning years. The last year and a half are losing years. She has lost her last three fights although to good fighters. McKinney has a great win/loss record, but she is one of those who beats average to below average fighters and cough’s it up against good opponents. I would say the Strijd fit’s in the middle of those two groups and she has an almost four inch height advantage. I have to go with Strijd
BECKY G/E.CLARKE As far as I am concerned, Becky G. is not very impressive as a fighter or as a singer. She has a winning record, but has lost three of her last five. Clarke has a winning record in the BBU and a losing record in the FCBA. Sound familiar? She’s 2-4 over the last three years. Not much to choose here, but Clarke does have a two inch height advantage. That’s enough for her to beat Becky G
RAMIREZ/C.MENDES This is supposed to be a rematch but I can’t find the first match. According to the Archives Ramirez has had two fights the last one being against Merced. Ramirez has yet to win a bout. I don’t know who won the first bout, but Mendes will win his one
POMPLUM/BENOIST Pomplum has had two fights winning one. Benoist has had 24 fights and lost six of her last seven. The question is, how valuable is experience against a new and unproven fighter? I’m going with experience. Benoist will defeat Pomplum
J.KING/BENSON King broke in last year and has now had three fights winning two. Benson is another PLP fighter who is seeing her fighting career go down the tubes. She is 2-10 since September 2018. Losing this fight could well result in her leaving PLP She’s desperate. I will take a chance that Benson will survive
LIND/H.KING Lind has mostly fought at JMD the last fifteen months. During that time she is 2-2 in conventional bouts. One of those wins was over King. King was canned by Front Street and then signed by Knockout Babes In March. She has lost her first two fights under new management and four of her last five. She will lose this bout, leaving her winless under the new group
S.TURNER/HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY. I love the English, but these hyphenated last names got to go. I’ve said it ought to be against the law to a have surname of nineteen digits. Rosie is unusual. She has a much better record in the FCBA than she does in the BBU. She’s having a good year this year being 4-0 with an upset of Agdal to her credit. Turner has won eight of her last nine and every loss she has suffered in the last three years has been to a top ten fighter. HW has a two inch height advantage. It won’t help as she loses her first fight of the year
DIDONATO/TELES Teles is off the great start in the FCBA. She has won her first four fights including a win over Peregrym. Still, she is a little over-ambitious when she takes on DiDonato. This is not a good time to tackle DiDonato. She just lost the lightweight title to Ren. She’s in no mood to tolerate Teles. DiDonato hands Teles her first loss
E.WATSON/SHIPKA Watson is on a great run. She is 25-6 since the beginning of 2017 and she is ranked at two in the flyweights by Boxing World and should be ranked at one. This actually looks like a mismatch to me. Shipka has only had three fights winning two and her opponents were nothing to brag about. If Shipka wins this bout, it will be a contender for the upset of the year. It isn’t going to happen. Shipka is going to regret taking this fight
M.FOX/KREUK Megan Fox has been a hot fighter for four years now. This will be her eighth fight of the year. She has won five of her previous seven. She is ranked at eight in the flyweights by Boxing World. Kruek is a member of the 100 fight club. She is now 37 and is at the end of the line. She has lost her eight of her last line. I doubt Hawkeye will put up with her recent performance much longer. Although she has held three unified titles, Kreuk has dropped to 36 in the flyweights and that’s probably generous. Fox will win this bout. Will Kreuk survive this loss?
L.COLLINS/GHADIE THIS IS A MISMATCH. This will be Collins’ seventh fight of the year. She has won four of the previous six. She has won 75% of her fights and is ranked at five in the flyweights. Ghadie mainly fights in the BBU where she has a losing record but it’s better than her FCBA record of 4-15. She has lost five of her last six. Collins should have little trouble in winning
LOPILATO/A.GREENE Lopilato is a sometime bantam, sometime lightweight. She has won four of five this year with a win over Ambrosio. Her loss was to Atwell. She is ranked at 36 in bantams. Greene is an average fighter who had a winning record until October of last year. She is now underwater having lost her last four and has dropped to 75 in the ranking. If Lopilato can beat Ambrosio, she can beat Greene and she will
OLSEN/LOVATO This is a top bantam match. Lovato is ranked at ten and Olsen at eleven. Olsen is having a good 2020. After losing the first fight of the year to Mitchell, she has won five straight. I, however, always wonder about her. She lost to Frege, which puts her in a very small club. Since the beginning of last year Lovato is 12-5 and has fought a tougher schedule than Olsen. I have to go with Lovato
GILLAN/REGAN GIllan appears to be an average fighter. She has a winning record in the BBU, but is 4-6 in the FCBA. So far this year, she has beaten Patton and Azalea who both have losing records and that was enough to jump her fifty spots. That can happen only in the welters. A couple years ago Regan dominated the welters with Righetti. Those days are over at least for Regan. There are now five or six good welters and Regan isn’t one of them. Over the last three years she is 8-8 and that’s good enough to put her at eleven in the rankings, again only in the welters. I don’t have a clue, but I will go with Regan for old times sake.
HENSTRIDGE/J.L.COLEMAN Henstridge is an average fighter. I can’t see her ever being a contender. She had a terrible 2019 but is 2-1 for this year. Too early to say she has turned around. Coleman has been fighting mostly in the BBU. She has had only one conventional fight in the FCBA since the beginning of last year. She lost that one to Lavigne. She did have one JMD fight which she lost to Kim Kardashian. Anytime you lose any type of fight to Kardashian raises warning flags to me but I have to go with Coleman to win
MAISIE WILLIAMS/K.BELL Williams is another who mostly fights in the BBU. Her record in the BBU is better than her record in the FCBA, but that’s kind of normal. That said, she has a 7-5 in the FCBA although she has lost three of her last four. Bell has held the unified flyweight title three times. The last time was in 2013. Since that time she has gone 6-10. She has lost both her fights this year, one to Kate Mara which is nothing to brag about, but she did beat her in 2019. This one of those fights I couldn’t care less about. I have to predict it so I will go with Williams. It’s a flip of the coin thing
SCODELARIO/N.SCOTT Scodelario is 10-5 since the beginning of 2019 She won the bantam title 2018. She is 3-2 for this year losing her last two to Lilly and Larson. Boxing World has her ranked at seven in the bantams. Scott has been impressive since her 2017 debut. Her record is now 9-3, however she has basically faced middle of the road bantams. She did suffer a shocking loss to Kosarin in April. Her losing wasn’t shocking, but a loss by a UD was. It was one of the extremely rare fights that doesn’t result in a KO. In this fight, Scott is going to lose again, but it’s not going to be by UD’
KENDALL JENNER/T.HILL I think Hill is a very promising lightweight, but let’s not make this complicated. There are two fighters I don’t bet against. One is Righetti and the other is Jenner. Enough said
AMBROSIO/ALDRIDGE Ambrosio is a former champion, but she has lost seven of her last ten bouts. She has fallen to the 29th slot in the lightweights behind Lopilato and Atwell. Aldridge is a California girl who started out in the minors. After going 5-0 in the BBU, she moved up to the big time and has been 11-7. She has won five of her last six. She has beaten average fighters, but failed to make the top twenty. Ambrosio is no longer in the top twenty, but is good enough to beat Aldridge.
RHODA/PATTON THIS IS A MISMATCH. Boxing World has Rhoda ranked at six in the welters. Patton comes in at 19. Rhoda has held the title once,Patton never. Rhoda has won eleven of her last fourteen. Patton has won five of her last thirteen. Rhoda is 5’11’. Patton is 5’ 7” Rhoda is 33. Patton is 44. Do you really think Patton is gong to win? She won’t
FREEMAN/BROOK Freeman used to be a top ten welter. She has fallen to 14 in the welters. Maybe that’s because she has lost six of her last eight. Again, only in the welters. Brook, who is now 40 has also lost six of her last eight and is ranked at 13. Do you get the impression this division is on life support. The two have fought once before with Freeman winning. This will be Brooks 125 fight. It should be her last, but the welters can’t spare her. Freeman wins
ROSE/SWEENY Rose in a JMD specialist, but in conventional fights she has beaten Lovato twice, Panettiere and Lowndes. Her record is 5-3 in conventional fights. Sweeny burst on the scene recently like she is going to be the savior of the FCBA. (just a little sarcasm). I had never heard of her, but then if her show is not on Netflix, I’m not going to see it. She has had one JMD fight, so this will be her conventional debut. She has all the hype, but is she really the savior? I’ll take a chance and go against all the hype. Rose will win
HOLT/PORTMAN For the flyweight title This will be Holt’s second title defense. She is currently on a seven fight win streak. Portman is a ten time unified flyweight champion and a member of the Hall Of Fame. Portman at 39 hasn’t slowed down much. She is 6-3 in the last eighteen months. I would really like to see Pdortman win this fight as it is probably her last chance at a title, but she is seventeen years older than Holt. I think Holt will retain her it
KOSARIN/McCARTHY THIS IS A MISMATCH. Theron recently became the oldest fighter to contend for the title at the age of 44. Now Mac is going to break that record being 47, as she sticks her tongue out at what she considers the gutless Theron. This is the second time she has fought Kosarin this year. She lasted less than six in the first. Someone reminded her that Theron had beaten Kosarin. You know Mac. Whatever Theron can do, she can do better Now all she has to do will be to convince Kosarin of that. Now don’t get me wrong, I like Mac. I just don’t think she is going to win the title
REN/SWIFT I never pictured Ren as a title holder, but since the beginning of 2019 she has won eighteen of her last twenty-three bouts. This will be her first title defense Swift in the same time period won twenty-one of twenty-five. She just got taken to the cleaners by Upton a couple days ago. Will she recover in time for this bout? The two have fought three times with Swift winning two. I have to go with Swift to regain the title
DECKER/T.ATKINSON I am still angry with Decker and her management forcing Theron into a blatant mismatch. All I can say is, that I sincerely hope that Atkinson cleans her clock. She did it once before and she can do it again. Atkinson ends Decker’s title run
