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 I went 50-14 running my total to 2272-693, 77% correct
V.HUDGENS/MONER Hudgens got off to a good start for the year as she 3-0 after losing four of her last five in 2019 Moner KOed Ramirez in the June PPV It was her second straight win over Ramirez both by a KO6 Moner is definitely promising now has record of 8-2 I think Hudgens, a Hall Of Fame member, has way too much experience for the nineteen year old. Hudgens will win
LOVATO/D.ROSE Lovato who has a career record of 42-20-1 is in a little funk having three of her last four but holds her top ten ranking as ranked at ten. Rose who basically a JMD fighter beat Lovato in a JMD fight las year, then lost to Lovato in a title match. Rose is 1-1 for the year. This will be the fifth fight between the two. Rose has won two JMD fights, while Lovato has won two conventional bouts. This is conventional. Lovato wins
UPTON/SHAYK Really? You’re not kidding? Upton is ranked at two in Boxing Worlds welter rankings and three in Tractopull’s rankings. She is 4-0 for the year with two of those wins being over Taylor Swift. Shayk has a 2-10 record and has lost her last six. Now I got to ask do you really think Shayk has a chance? She doesn’t. Give Upton about four rounds to take care of her
VANCAMP/S.TURNER VanCamp, a bantam is in a real funk She has lost five of the last six, one of those losses being to Turner, who is a lightweight. Turner has now won ten of her last eleven is ranked at seven in Boxing Worlds lightweight rankings and six by Tractorpull. Thinks look dim for VanCamp as Turner will win
LILLY/VERGARA You think Upton/Shayk was on the mismatch side. You haven’t seen anything until you get to this one. Lilly is a Hall Of Fame member and is ranked at three by Boxing World. She won eight of her last nine. Now, we come to Vergara. She’s 48 years old, has a life time record of 4-16 and as lost thirteen of her last fourteen. I understand Theron looked at her as an opponent in her Cougar Crusade and decided there was nothing to gain by beating her. Lilly will win, but will gain nothing
E.WATSON/E.CLARKE Watson is now ranked at two after losing the title to Holt. She has won six of her last seven. Clark, who is ranked at thirty-seven has lost five of her last seven. Watson also has a three inch height advantage. That’s enough for Watson to leave Clark on her back at the end of the bout
H.DAVIS/HERRINGTON Davis fights is a basic JMDD fighter who also fights and occasional conventional bout. To be honest, she is not particularly good at either. She has a combined record of 4-8. Herrington has never had a fight. Davis is a known. Herrington isn’t. I always go with the known. Davis wins
SWIFT/JENNER This is the fifth bout between these two. Jenner won the first three, but Swift came back to take the fourth in January. Jenner is six of nine for the year after being upset by Hill in June. Swift is 8-3 with two of those losses being to Upton, a welter. Despite Taylor having a better year, I just don’t bet against Jenner who will go up 4-1 in this series. I’m sure this will not be the last fight between these two
DIDONATO/TAILOR Another top lightweight tussle. This is a rematch as Tailor scored a KO7 over DiDonato in January. Tailor has won seven of her last nine. DiDonato by comparison, has won six of her last nine. Tailor’s losses were to Upton and Lawrence, who both fight a welter. DiDonato’s losses were to Ren. Lima and Tailor. I’m going to have to go with DiDonato to even the score
WILLEMS/McCURDY This will be Willems’ debut as a member of a recently formed stable. McCurdy had a 2018-19 record of 10-2 before being let loose by Front Street. She was promptly signed by Garnet Gunners UK who promptly put her in to two BBU fights which she promptly lost. As usual, I go for bad or worse with the known, McCurdy wins.
THERON/ALLEN A bout on Therons Cougar Crusade This far she is 12-2 on this tour. Allen was competitive fighter in the first decade of the twenty-first century. The two fought once with Theron winning. Now I am not allowed to predict any more Theron fights. My boss said I was too good of friends with Charlize and my judgement would be biased. I denied that, but you know the rule. The boss is always right even when he is wrong.
LOWNDES/KUNIS Lowndes has won eight of her last ten after getting upset by Moner. That loss dropped her out of the top ten. She’s now down at fourteen
I think that Kunis’ career at the Consortium is close to being on life support. She has lost seven of her last nine. The last loss to Kate Mara was particularly embarrassing. She’s going to lose this one. I wouldn’t be surprised that after this bout. she may be looking for another stable because Lowndes is going to beat her like a drum
MORETZ/D.R.RUSSELL Moretz had a losing record and suddenly she got on a hot streak. She now has won six straight. Russell has a 5-5 record. If she has a big win to her name, it would a win over Moner. I like fighters on hot streaks. Moretz’s is hot enough for me to say she is going to win
CHERYL COLE/CABELLO Cole is 5-6 since the beginning of last year. While that is not good, you haven’t heard the worst. In early June, she lost a BBU bout to (drum roll) Samia Ghadie Cabello hasn’t been setting the world on fire. She has lost six of her last eight. Ghadie aside, Cole wins.
GOMEZ/WEAVING Gomez is a good veteran fighter. You might say she is the gate keeper type. She has won nine of her last twelve The 28 year old Weaving has only had three fights in the FCBA and won all three. One of her victims was Lynch. Gomez has the experience and a slight height advantage. She will win
DOBREV/BECKINSALE Dobrev is ranked at eight in the bantams. Beckinsale has dropped to thirty-five. Dobrev has won eight of her last ten with her losses being to Lovato and Scodelario Beckinsale has won seven of her last ten. Beckinsale is now 47, but she is still a very dangerous bantam who is not afraid to take on lightweights. Back in 2004 she TKOed both Cat Bell and Charlize Theron in the space of three weeks. Unfortunately she didn’t quit there and fought Theron twice more and got her head handed to her both times. Dobrev is not only top fighter, she is sixteen years younger. Dobrev will take the fight
YUSTMAN/OCHOA Yustman is 5-5 for her last ten. For some fighters that would be OK, but that is below Yustman standards. Her opponents have been top notch fighters. Ochoa is a thirty-five year old who has only had two fights. They were against Taylor Hill and Gemma Arterton at the Asylum. She never lasted the fourth in either. She won’t last past the fourth against Yustman either
PALLETT/KREUK Pallett is 3-6 in the last three years. She hasn’t been very active since 2018. Kreuk has lost nine of her last ten, which led to her firing from the Consortium. If Kreuk loses this bout, I think she should call it quits as she is 37. If she wins, she should call it quits on a win. She won’t win
CUCINOTTA/SCHIFFER A cougar bout. Cucinotta has had two fights. They were both against Theron. She lost both. The remarkable thing was the two bouts were twenty years apart. This will be Schiffer’s third fight. Her first was in 1999. So this bout is 21 years from her first. She also lost her first two. She will win this one
HEWITT/MEIS Hewitt, who has been in 125 fights, is a cougar, but I don’t think anyone has told her. Somebody should. She still trying to fight mainstream. She has lost her last twelve conventional fights. Meis isn’t any younger, but has a 6-5 record. This is Hewitt’s chance. I going to say that Hewitt will win and then she should stick to cougars
LIRIO/ALDRIDGE Lirio has had only one fight and that was two years ago. She lost to Gibbs. Aldridge is a 35 year old lightweight. She has won seven of her last eleven after beating Ambrosio in June. I don’t have much of a problem saying that Aldridge is going to win
GOHLER/WOZNIACKI (Billed as a bout for Danish Supremacy) Gohler has had one FCBA fight. That was four years ago. She lost to Agdal. Wozniacki has had eleven fights, all but one, against tennis players, which tells me exactly nothing The only thing I know about tennis is that it is kind of like bad-mitten on steroids. Wozniacki will win
L.COLLINS/HOLLAND Collins has a great 30-10 career record. She has won six of her last ten. She is ranked at five in the flyweights. Holland, on the other hand, has lost six of her last ten. She will lose this one also.
A.LYNCH/R.ROSE Lynch is 5-5 in her last ten. She lost her first three fights this year, but has won the last three over mediocre competition. She has a good career record of 25-12. Her big claim to fame is, that she had beaten Alexis Ren. the current lightweight champ, not once but twice. Rose is a lightweight, who has had four fights winning two. If Lynch can beat the lightweight champ, she can beat Rose and will
H.FERGUSON/ROUSEY Ferguson is 5’10” tall, is 28 years old and has a record of 42-10 combined conventional and JMDD fights. Rousey is 5’6”, 33 years old and has a 4-1 record. I’m a baseball fan. We believe in statistics. Please refer to the above. Ferguson will win. You think?
D.CAMPBELL/MCNAMARA Campbell is another flyweight with a fine record. She has a 25-13 career record, however she is only 5-5 in her last ten. McNamara has had only thirteen bouts winning eight. She is 3-2 for the year after losing to Lavigne in June. I would like to see McNamara win, but I fear that is not going to happen. Campbell wins
BELLISARIO/TELES Bellisario is a veteran bantam and one time champion. She is 6-4 in her last ten. Teles is a little late to the game. She is a 35 year old newbie. She is now 4-1 after losing to DiDonato in June. Teles in her brief time has beaten Durance, Cuoco and Peregrym who is soon to be a Hall Of Fame fighter. I'm going to have to take a chance on Teles
BENOIST/MCMANN. PLP Taking on another rookie. Benoist gets around. She fights conventional bouts, JMD and BBU but hasn’t done well in conventional bouts. She has lost seven of her last ten. McMann is Front Street rookie lightweight who has won her first three bouts. I will go with McMann
PALICKI/LAWRENCE. Palicki is a hard hitting, crowd pleasing fighter. Despite winning the welter title in February, she has lost seven of her last ten. Lawrence has been in the top ten welters for a couple years, but is still looking for her first title. She 5-5 in her last ten. If she gets in a slugging war with Palicki she will get creamed. I think she is too smart for than Lawrence will win
DADDARIO/GERBER Daddario fights in both conventional and JMDD. She hasn’t done well recently in conventional fights losing six of ten. Gerber is getting a lot of attention. She hasn’t moved up into first class competition yet but she has a 7-1 record, She got signed by a stable after beating Nolin who is like 110 years old. Daddario is another big hitter. I think she is going to be more than Gerber can handle at this stage of her career
O. HOLT/GHADIE There’s that name again. Oh well why waste time Holt wins hands down
GONZALES/HUNTINGDON-WHITLEY Gonzales has been struggling recently. She has lost six of her last ten but she has had some big wins. Huntingdon-Whitley has gone on a tear recently winning seven straight. Her big wins were over Lively and Agdal. I think she will be favored in this bout, but I am going with Gonzales to pull another unexpected victory
LIMA/MARTINEZ Lima is now 39 and appears to be nearing the end of the line in mainstream fighting. Cougars may be next. She has lost six of her last ten. While Lima may towards the end of her career. Martinez’s never took off. The 36 year old has never won a fight. Someone will probably end Lima’s career but it won’t be Martinez
RIGHETTI/GILLAN. You know the drill. I don’t bet against Righetti
KOSTEK/T.ATKINSON Kostek had a nice career going and then for some reason took seven months off. She decided go come back against Atkinson who she beat last year. That was her second fight against Atkinson who won the first. Atkinson is 3-0 for the year with two wins over Hannah Ferguson. I think Kostek’s seven month absence is going to hurt her. Atkinson takes the rubber match although I doubt this series will end at three
STRAHOVSKI/WINSTEAD.This is Strahovski’s 100th bout. This rivalry is right up there with the legendary Theron/Nolin, Theron/Bell and Theron/Garner rivalries. It very well may replace them as the longest rivalry in FCBA history. That honor presently belongs to Theron/Nolin which went eighteen bouts, followed by Theron/Bell with seventeen and Theron/Garner at fifteen. This rivalry has already past Theron/Garner since the two have fought sixteen times.They are tied at eight apiece. Winstead got off to a fast start winning four of the first five. Strahovski has dominated the series since, winning seven of the last eleven. Since 6/2615, the two have swapped wins, each winning every other bout. Yvonne won the last one so this should be Mary Elizabeth turn to win. There is, however, additional factors in this bout Yvonne has the required number of bouts and the required win ratio, but one can only enter the Hall on a win. Should she lose, she would have to wait until her next win. At present, Strahovski is off to her worst start since 2011 losing three of four. Winstead is off to an even worse start losing four of five, with one of those losses being to Yvonne. Strahovski has an additional incentive. A win will put her in the Hall Of Fame next week. A win would also put a nail in the coffin of Winstead’s
chances of entering the Hall. Strahovski will win. She’s blonde, Winstead isn’t.
PEREGRYM/REN For the lightweight title. Ren is one 10-1 run after winning the title by beating Swift in June. Missy has always been one of my favorites. She was a two time bantam champion who could have dominated the divison but moved up to lightweight. She has held two lightweight titles. She has won eleven of her last fourteen. Her opposition has been a little on the light side, but she has beaten Sagra, Palicki and Lsw. Nothing against Ren but I really want Peregrym to win but I think Ren will retain the title
PORTMAN/WILLIAMS For the flyweight championship. An inter-stable bout Portman is now 39. Williams is 40. Almost a cougar bout. Willaims has held the unified title nine times. Portman has held the unified title eleven times. This will be the ninth bout between the
two. Each have won four Portman has won seven of her last ten.Williams has also won seven of her last ten. It’s a 50/50 fight. A toss up. We have to go to the big decider, hair color. Michelle is blonde, Natalie isn’t Williams wins the title

VANCAMP/S.TURNER VanCamp, a bantam is in a real funk She has lost five of the last six, one of those losses being to Turner, who is a lightweight. Turner has now won ten of her last eleven is ranked at seven in Boxing Worlds lightweight rankings and six by Tractorpull. Thinks look dim for VanCamp as Turner will win
