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. In the last series of predictions, I went 39-14 running me total to 2412-745 which is 77% correct
SWIFT/S.TURNER Turner is 3-3 for the year, He biggest win was over Dua Lipa. Swift is having a fine year with a 13-7 record. She has lost her last two, but one of those losses was at JMDD. Boxing World has Swift ranked at three and Tractorpull has her at four. Turner is ranked at eleven by Boxing World and unranked by Tractorpull Swift has a two inch height advantage. I have to go with Swift
RICHARDS/THERON (Cougar Bout) I’m banned from predicting Theron fights
PAUSINI/LARSON Pausini held the Italian lightweight title from late 2011 to June 2019, almost eight years. How many times did she defend the title? Two. She has had seventeen FCBA bouts. How many has she won? None. That’s right, her record is 0-17. She has even lost to Frege and that takes some doing. I think she may have a death wish, This year she has challenged Theron and Peregrym twice, Larson is 3-3 for the year with her losses being to Lilly, Kosarin and Bella Thorne Larson is 16-8 for her career. Now here’s the kicker, Larson is one inch taller, but fifteen years younger. That’s right. Pausini is a cougar, age 46. I wonder how a fighter would feel to lose to Pausini for the first time in the history of the FCBA. Larson won’t have to worry She will win
FREGE/E.OLSEN Speak of the devil and here she is, the great Elodie Frege. Frege is 14-15 in the BBU, but how has she done in the FCBA? Her record is a remarkable 9-42. She has lost ten of her last eleven in the FCBA. Olsen is 8-3 for the year after beating Evangeline Lilly in the recent FNL card and is ranked at eight in the bantams by Boxing World. That ranking will go uup in their next rankings. I think that pretty much tells you who is going to win this bout. It won’t be Frege
SCODELARIO/RIDLEY Ridley is 3-4 for the year and has lost three of her last five. Her losses were to Olsen, Larson and Joey King. Scodelario is 6-3 for the year with a win over Evangeline Lilly. Boxing World has her ranked at thirteen in the bantams. Ridley comes in at seventeen. This could be a good fight. I expect Scodelario will win in five.
AMBROSIO/AGDAL Ambrosio and Agdal both have spent time in the top ten. Ambrosio is having a tough time this year being 3-5 and has lost four of her last five. She did beat Sagra in the October PPV Agdal is doing better. She is 6-3. Her losses were to Kroes, Kendall Jenner and Huntington-Whiteley This is the first bout between these two. I think this is a 50/50 fight. I go with Adgal to win
KENDALL.JENNER/HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY Huntington-Whiteley is having a great year. She is 8-1 for the year with that loss being to Ren in a title fight in August. Despite her success this year she has a career record of 11-9 in the FCBA Jenner has a 8-5 tab this year, which is not her usual performance. She lost four straight before winning in the October PPV. I don’t like to bet against Jenner so I won’t Jenner by KO
RHODA/KROES Rhoda is another top fighter who is having an off year. She comes in at 5-3. Her losses were to Palicki, Righetti and Gillan in an upset. Kroes is 3-3 for the year and 6-8 for her career. Now let me explain. Rhoda is in the top eight welters. Kroes isn’t. That means she is in the cannon-fodder category. Rhoda wins
DYER/MAISIE WILLIAMS Dyer is 4-4 for the year with three of her losses being to top ten flyweights. Her biggest win was oner Emilia Clarke. Williams is 3-3 for the year with her biggest win being over Cassie Scerbo. Looking at the opponents, I have to go with Dyer That’s one reason. The other is that she is from my home town
J.KING/E.HENSTRIDGE King is 5-3 for the year. I guess her big win was over Daisy Ridley. She also has a win over Victoria Justice. Henstridge is 2-3 for the year and has lost five of her last seven. She has almost five times the experience as King, They are the same height with King being twelve years younger. I go with King. Looking at the Archives, I wonder if King always wears a bikini inside in what looks like a living room
LAVIGNE/MORETZ Moretz is 4-1 for the year. She had a seven fight win streak broken in her last fight when she lost to Elyse Willems. Her opponents have been average fighters. Lavigne is working on a 7-5 year. After two great years she has become unpredictable this year. Boxing World has Lavigne ranked at nine is the flyweights with Moretz coming in at thirty-three. I fully expect Lavigne to win
J.CHASTAIN/M.KELLY Chastain is 3-1 for the year with a big win over Kate Beckinsale. She has also beaten Jenny McCarthy. Her loss was to Michelle Keegan. Kelly is on a six fight win streak including a pair of wins over Jessica’s stalemate, Katheryn Winnick. Kelly is a little larger and has four times the experience that Chastain has. I think Kelly will win
V.GARDNER/CHALOTRA Gardner is 3-2 for the year. Her losses were to DeArmas and Scott, who are probably the best young bantams. She had previously beaten Scott. Now, we need a best of three between she and Scott. She has a career record of 16-10. Chalotra made her debut this year. She has a 4-2 record with wins Scarlett Johansson and the current champion Lilly Collins. Her losses were to Bellisario and Olsen. I really like Gardner but Chalotra’s win over Lilly Collins is impressive. It causes me to go with Charlotra
CHOPRA/DOBREV Chopra is 3-3 for the year after beating Benoist in the October PPV. I’m not sure that win got her out of doghouse at the Consortium. She is 6-8 since the beginning of last year. Dobrev is 2-2 for the year after going 7-1 last year. Her losses this year were to Bella Thorne in a title match on the October PPV and Scodelario. One of her wins was over Beckinsale. Boxing World has Dobrev at six and Chopra at eighteen. I have to think that Dobrev will win.
E.WATSON/PORTMAN I considered Watson for ranking in the Top Ten Pound For Pound fighters, but put her aside for the unimpressive schedule she has fought. She fought only one top ten fighter and lost. Portman is nearing cougar status, but is still fighting a good schedule She is 5-2 with wins over Olivia Holt, MIchelle Williams and Emma Roberts. That’s enough to persuade me that Portman will win
M.WILLIAMS/BECKY G This will be Williams’ 230th fight. She second in the history of the FCBA for the number of fights. She is second only to the great Theron who will be fighting her 403rd fight in this PPV. Williams is now a cougar and looks to be slowing down. She is 4-3 for the year with losses to Vanessa Hudgens, Portman and Lowndes. Becky G is not Hudgens, Portman or Lowndes. She is 3-3 for the year with losses to Victoria Justice, Madison Beer and Vanessa Hudgens. This is going to be one of those learning experiences, which is going to painful as long as she is concious, which won’t be too long. Williams wins
N. SCOTT/ROSE Scott is 27 and has had 16 fights and looks like she has the potential to be a super star. She has 13-3 record with wins over Ratajkowski, Scodelario and Olsen. She is 6-1 for the year. Her loss was to Kosarin. If you want to find Rose in the Archives you have to look in the M’s. She has had 21 fights but thirteen of those fights have been at JMD since it seems most of her talent is encased in her bra. She has beaten Lovato and Lowndes, but she is not going to beat Scott.
LOVATO/KIM KARDASHIAN Lovato has a 43-23 career record that includes some JMD fights. She is 2-3 this year in conventional fights and is 4-6 in her last ten. I am really sick of the Kardashian clan. Just the mention of Kim Kardashian make me want to heave. Over the last two years, she is 5-1 with wins over the likes of Frege, Pausini, Alesha Dixon who are among dregs of the FCBA. She did have a win over McCarthy which should have sent the signal to McCarthy that she should hang to gloves up. She didn’t get it, She never does. Oh well back to Kardashian. Excuse me while I heave. I got to leave this prediction. Lovato will win
V.HUDGENS/KUNIS Hudgens is in the Hall Of Fame. She is 6-2 for the year with those losses being in her last two fights to McNamara and Megan Fox. Her big win was over Michelle Williams. Kunis had a fine year in 2015 going 6-1, then everything went north. (Remember going south is good, north is bad). She now has lost eight of her last ten and has become a go to, if a fighter wants a win. Lovato shouldn’t have much trouble. I give Kunis five rounds maximum
PEREGRYM/LIPA Missy is one of my favorites. As a bantam, she won two titles and could have dominated the bantams for years, but chose to move up to Lightweight, where she would be small. She won two lightweight titles. She’s 8=3 for the year Lipa is having an OK year being 5-3. In her last three, she has beaten Yustman, Cerny and Daddario. One of her losses this year was to Peregrym. I pick Peregrym to repeat.
ATWELL/G.HADID Beginning in 2019, Atwell got on a train to nowhere. She has lost eight of her last ten. She is in PLP which is one of the better stables, but they put her against Hannah Ferguson, a top welter, when she is having trouble beating bantams. Now we come to Hadid. If Atwell is on the train to nowhere, Hadid is already there. She has lost her last ten. This should be a loser leaves bout. Well any way I will go with Atwell
HEARD/YUSTMAN Now that her fight with Johnny Depp is over, Heard is back in the ring. She seems to have alternate good years. In 2017 she was 4-0, 2018, 0-4. 2019 3-0 and 2020 1-3 so far. She seems to beat marginal fighters, but coughs it up against good ones. Yustman is a good one, or at least was. She is 5-5 for the last ten. She has a 44-26 career record. She has held the lightweight title. I have to think that Yustman will win this bout.
ROHRBACH/GERBER For the first two years or her career Rohrbach looked like a real comer. Then reality set in. She’s dabbled in JMDD with little success. Still, she should be considered a dangerous fighter. Gerber looks to be a real comer in the lightweights, like Rohrbach was a couple years ago. She is 9-2 for her career and is 6-1 for the year. Although Gerber has beaten Daddario, Rohrbach is probably the most dangerous fighter she has fought. I really have no idea how this fight is going to go, but I will take a chance on Gerber
KUBICKA/CLEMENTS Clements divides her time between the BBU and the FCBA. Her record in the BBU is a little better than in the FCBA where she has a career record of 8-5. She has lost four of her last five with her career wins being over average fighters. Kubicka has a career record of 9-3 with all her opponents being in the average fighter class. I think that is Ok when a fighter has less than twenty bouts. I really don’t have a feeling for this bout. I will go with Kubicka only because she looks like she is a blonde
FREEMAN/C.HENDRICKS Freeman has a 28-24 record and has held welter title. She appears to be on the downside having lost seven of her last ten. She has fought a fairly difficult schedule. Her wins were over Nolin, Geha, and Khloe Kardashian. Hendricks is 5-5 in her last ten with four of those fights being against Sofia Vergara. Hendricks is a cougar as she is 45. I think Freeman will win this bout
DECKER/SHARAPOVA Deckers management is a tennis fan therefore Decker gets a gift of a tennis player as an opponent. Sharapova has a 9-5 record mostly against tennis players. I’m assuming that because I don’t know any of her opponents except for Krsmanovic. Her last bout was in 2017. All I know about tennis is it’s like badminton on steroids. I think this is a total mismatch, but it won’t be the first in history. Decker any time she wants.
PATTON/HEIGL This is a cougar bout. Patton is 45 and has a record of 18-25. She is 2-8 in her last ten. She has lost her last eight bouts, a couple to top ten fighters. Heigl is 42 and a member of the 100 fight club. She has held one unified lightweight title, one unified welter title and on unified middleweight title plus four divisional titles. With all that you would expect her to have a winning record. She doesn’t Her career record is 49-52-4. She has had only four fights since 2010. She lost three of them and the fourth was a draw This will be her fist fight since 2018, Despite that, I don’t really think that Heigl is going to have much trouble with Patton
SCHIFFER/BELLUCI This is a cougar bout. Schiffer is the head trainer for the Lioness Club and is 50 years old She has a record of 1-2 in her career. Her one win was over Cucinotta. Belluci is 56 and has a career record of 18-20. She is a trainer for GBS. She had a fight in April, which was her first since 2010. In her last five bouts, she has lost four and one ended in a draw. While Belluci is older I expect her to win
M.FOX/S.CARTER Fox is having another good year being 9-2. Her losses were to Lucy Hale and to Huntington-Whiteley. who is a up and coming lightweight. Her big wins were over Emma Roberts and Vanessa Hudgens. Carter is in the Hall of Fame being elected to it in May of last year. Since joining she has lost three of her last four. She is now a cougar turning forty in October. Carter beat Fox in the only fight they have had. That was back in 2007. It took them thirteen years to do a rematch. I suspect this was a Fox challenge. Fox will win
DIXON/SCHERZINGER This is a cougar bout. Dixon’s stable is relentless in getting her fights. She right up there with Frege and Pausini when it come to fighting ability. She has a 5-29 record in the FCBA. She is 2-5 for the year. She beat someone named Kara Kilmer and Carmella, whoever she is. She has even lost to Kim Kardashian this year. She should go back to the BBU where she has a winning record and stay there. If there is one fighter she has a chance of beating, it’s Scherzinger. She was bounced from the Lioness Club last year after she lost to Frege. A dismissal that was entirely justified. She has managed to go 1-2 since being canned. Dixon has a two inch height advantage. This ought to be another loser leaves fight. For some reason, I am going to Scherzinger, but don’t ask me why
PALICKI/KOSTEK Palicki is another of my favorites. Palicki has a 38-34 record and is a two time lightweight champ and one time welter title holder She held the welter title earlier this year but had a four fight losing streak in the middle of the year. She has won three of her last four, the fourth ending in a draw. Kostek is ranked at seven in Tractorpull’s latest rankings. Palicki is not in the top row of fighters. That was a complete oversight on my part. She should be in the eight. Kostek has only had three fights this year and is 7-3 in her last ten. Two of her wins were over Tahnee Atkinson. I think this is a 50/50 fight. I will go with Palicki with one caveat. If McCarthy is in her corner, all bets are off
TELES/WINSTEAD Teles is another promising lightweight. She hasn’t got the publicity as Gerber and has had half the fights. She's 5-1 so far. She won her first three over big names that are on the downside. Then she got noticed when she upset Peregrym. Her only loss was to DiDonato. Winstead is a member of the 100 fight club with a 59-50 record. She seems to have moved to the downside which if true, is understandable since she has spent her career fighting the top lightweights She is 3-5 for the year but two of her wins were over Alesha Dixon’ Two of her losses were to her arch rival Yvonne Strahovski. All of her losses in the last two years have been to top ten fighters. Teles has a excellent chance of winning this fight but something makes me go with Winstead
RIGHETTI/LEWIS Lewis is 5-3 in the FCBA and is 2-1 this year with her wins being over Khloe Kardashian and Lawley. I’m not going to talk about Righetti. Righetti is in the top eight welters. Lewis is not. That means she is cannon-fodder
KOSARIN/DENINGS Kosarin is 5-2 for the year. She has a seven fight win streak broken in a loss to Bella Thorne in a title fight and then lost to Olsen. She has wins this year over Scott and Lilly. I won’t mention she also beat McCarthy not once, but twice. Dennings has a much better career record, but hasn’t fought the competition that Kosarin has, In her last 21 fights, she has faced top ten fighters only twice, but that is Front Streets philosophy. A good win/loss record will get one a title fight regardless of the quality of opponents. You can’t fault the strategy as it works. Front Street has their share of title holders. Those two top ten fighters Denning fought, both beat her. If Dennings wins this fight she should be in line for a title fight. I don’t think she will.
ORRANTIA/BENOIST Orrantia has lost seven of her last ten, and is now in her third straight losing year. Benoist is slightly better. She has lost six of her last ten. Benoist has won her last two including an upset win over McMann. One of her losses was to Alexis Ren who was the lightweight champion at the time. Benoist has a three inch height advantage. I go with Benoist
LIVELY/GONZALES Lively is 4-6 in her last ten but she has fought top ranked fighters including Hannah Ferguson who she beat in a big upset in the August PPV She has lost to Hill, Swift and DiDonato. Gonzales has also lost six of her last ten. Her big win was an upset of Strahovski last year. She is 1-4 for this year but every loss was to a top ten fighter. I think this is a 50/50 fight, but I will go with Lively on the strength of her win over Ferguson
McCARTHY/GILLIES. McCarthy is back again. My broadcast mate just can’t admit that she doesn’t have much left anymore. She is 2-7 for the year. She’s 47. She’s a cougar. She could probably do well in the cougars, but is apparently too proud to fight women her age. She maintains age is nothing but a number. Well, Jenny look at this number, 2-7 for the year. Gillies is twenty years younger, but hasn’t done much better than Mac. She’s 4-6 in her last ten. I really feel sorry for Mac and her delusions of mediocrity, so I will predict she will win
UPTON/MCKINNEY Upton is a top seven welter. McKinney is cannon-fodder. That’s all you need to know
L.COLLINS/MONER For the flyweight title. This will be Collins second defense. She’s 9-3 for the year. Moner is 7-2 for the year with wins over Michelle Williams, Olivia Holt and Jessica Lowndes. Moner’s record with her wins makes her a viable opponent. She, however, has a real problem. Collins is five inches taller. I think that is going to be more the Moner can handle. Collins will successfully defend the title
HILL/LIMA For the lightweight title. Hill, making her first defense, couldn’t picked a more dangerous fighter at the present time. Lima is coming off consecutive wins over Aldridge, Peregrym and Swift. She 5-2 for the year with both losses being to Ren. Hill’s big win on her way to the title was over Kendall Jenner Lima has a big edge in experience but I am going to predict Hill will retain the title
LAWRENCE/? What’s going on here. This is the second defense in a row where she didn’t know who she was fighting two weeks before the bout
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. In the last series of predictions, I went 39-14 running me total to 2412-745 which is 77% correct
SWIFT/S.TURNER Turner is 3-3 for the year, He biggest win was over Dua Lipa. Swift is having a fine year with a 13-7 record. She has lost her last two, but one of those losses was at JMDD. Boxing World has Swift ranked at three and Tractorpull has her at four. Turner is ranked at eleven by Boxing World and unranked by Tractorpull Swift has a two inch height advantage. I have to go with Swift
RICHARDS/THERON (Cougar Bout) I’m banned from predicting Theron fights
PAUSINI/LARSON Pausini held the Italian lightweight title from late 2011 to June 2019, almost eight years. How many times did she defend the title? Two. She has had seventeen FCBA bouts. How many has she won? None. That’s right, her record is 0-17. She has even lost to Frege and that takes some doing. I think she may have a death wish, This year she has challenged Theron and Peregrym twice, Larson is 3-3 for the year with her losses being to Lilly, Kosarin and Bella Thorne Larson is 16-8 for her career. Now here’s the kicker, Larson is one inch taller, but fifteen years younger. That’s right. Pausini is a cougar, age 46. I wonder how a fighter would feel to lose to Pausini for the first time in the history of the FCBA. Larson won’t have to worry She will win
FREGE/E.OLSEN Speak of the devil and here she is, the great Elodie Frege. Frege is 14-15 in the BBU, but how has she done in the FCBA? Her record is a remarkable 9-42. She has lost ten of her last eleven in the FCBA. Olsen is 8-3 for the year after beating Evangeline Lilly in the recent FNL card and is ranked at eight in the bantams by Boxing World. That ranking will go uup in their next rankings. I think that pretty much tells you who is going to win this bout. It won’t be Frege
SCODELARIO/RIDLEY Ridley is 3-4 for the year and has lost three of her last five. Her losses were to Olsen, Larson and Joey King. Scodelario is 6-3 for the year with a win over Evangeline Lilly. Boxing World has her ranked at thirteen in the bantams. Ridley comes in at seventeen. This could be a good fight. I expect Scodelario will win in five.
AMBROSIO/AGDAL Ambrosio and Agdal both have spent time in the top ten. Ambrosio is having a tough time this year being 3-5 and has lost four of her last five. She did beat Sagra in the October PPV Agdal is doing better. She is 6-3. Her losses were to Kroes, Kendall Jenner and Huntington-Whiteley This is the first bout between these two. I think this is a 50/50 fight. I go with Adgal to win
KENDALL.JENNER/HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY Huntington-Whiteley is having a great year. She is 8-1 for the year with that loss being to Ren in a title fight in August. Despite her success this year she has a career record of 11-9 in the FCBA Jenner has a 8-5 tab this year, which is not her usual performance. She lost four straight before winning in the October PPV. I don’t like to bet against Jenner so I won’t Jenner by KO
RHODA/KROES Rhoda is another top fighter who is having an off year. She comes in at 5-3. Her losses were to Palicki, Righetti and Gillan in an upset. Kroes is 3-3 for the year and 6-8 for her career. Now let me explain. Rhoda is in the top eight welters. Kroes isn’t. That means she is in the cannon-fodder category. Rhoda wins

LAVIGNE/MORETZ Moretz is 4-1 for the year. She had a seven fight win streak broken in her last fight when she lost to Elyse Willems. Her opponents have been average fighters. Lavigne is working on a 7-5 year. After two great years she has become unpredictable this year. Boxing World has Lavigne ranked at nine is the flyweights with Moretz coming in at thirty-three.

N. SCOTT/ROSE Scott is 27 and has had 16 fights and looks like she has the potential to be a super star. She has 13-3 record with wins over Ratajkowski, Scodelario and Olsen. She is 6-1 for the year.

Although Gerber has beaten Daddario, Rohrbach is probably the most dangerous fighter she has fought. I really have no idea how this fight is going to go, but I will take a chance on Gerber
KUBICKA/CLEMENTS Clements divides her time between the BBU and the FCBA. Her record in the BBU is a little better than in the FCBA where she has a career record of 8-5. She has lost four of her last five with her career wins being over average fighters. Kubicka has a career record of 9-3 with all her opponents being in the average fighter class. I think that is Ok when a fighter has less than twenty bouts. I really don’t have a feeling for this bout. I will go with Kubicka only because she looks like she is a blonde
FREEMAN/C.HENDRICKS Freeman has a 28-24 record and has held welter title. She appears to be on the downside having lost seven of her last ten. She has fought a fairly difficult schedule. Her wins were over Nolin, Geha, and Khloe Kardashian. Hendricks is 5-5 in her last ten with four of those fights being against Sofia Vergara. Hendricks is a cougar as she is 45. I think Freeman will win this bout
DECKER/SHARAPOVA Deckers management is a tennis fan therefore Decker gets a gift of a tennis player as an opponent. Sharapova has a 9-5 record mostly against tennis players. I’m assuming that because I don’t know any of her opponents except for Krsmanovic. Her last bout was in 2017. All I know about tennis is it’s like badminton on steroids. I think this is a total mismatch, but it won’t be the first in history. Decker any time she wants.
PATTON/HEIGL This is a cougar bout. Patton is 45 and has a record of 18-25. She is 2-8 in her last ten. She has lost her last eight bouts, a couple to top ten fighters. Heigl is 42 and a member of the 100 fight club. She has held one unified lightweight title, one unified welter title and on unified middleweight title plus four divisional titles. With all that you would expect her to have a winning record. She doesn’t Her career record is 49-52-4. She has had only four fights since 2010. She lost three of them and the fourth was a draw This will be her fist fight since 2018, Despite that, I don’t really think that Heigl is going to have much trouble with Patton
SCHIFFER/BELLUCI This is a cougar bout. Schiffer is the head trainer for the Lioness Club and is 50 years old She has a record of 1-2 in her career. Her one win was over Cucinotta. Belluci is 56 and has a career record of 18-20. She is a trainer for GBS. She had a fight in April, which was her first since 2010. In her last five bouts, she has lost four and one ended in a draw. While Belluci is older I expect her to win
M.FOX/S.CARTER Fox is having another good year being 9-2. Her losses were to Lucy Hale and to Huntington-Whiteley. who is a up and coming lightweight. Her big wins were over Emma Roberts and Vanessa Hudgens. Carter is in the Hall of Fame being elected to it in May of last year. Since joining she has lost three of her last four. She is now a cougar turning forty in October. Carter beat Fox in the only fight they have had. That was back in 2007. It took them thirteen years to do a rematch. I suspect this was a Fox challenge. Fox will win
DIXON/SCHERZINGER This is a cougar bout. Dixon’s stable is relentless in getting her fights. She right up there with Frege and Pausini when it come to fighting ability. She has a 5-29 record in the FCBA. She is 2-5 for the year. She beat someone named Kara Kilmer and Carmella, whoever she is. She has even lost to Kim Kardashian this year. She should go back to the BBU where she has a winning record and stay there. If there is one fighter she has a chance of beating, it’s Scherzinger. She was bounced from the Lioness Club last year after she lost to Frege. A dismissal that was entirely justified. She has managed to go 1-2 since being canned. Dixon has a two inch height advantage. This ought to be another loser leaves fight. For some reason, I am going to Scherzinger, but don’t ask me why
PALICKI/KOSTEK Palicki is another of my favorites. Palicki has a 38-34 record and is a two time lightweight champ and one time welter title holder She held the welter title earlier this year but had a four fight losing streak in the middle of the year. She has won three of her last four, the fourth ending in a draw. Kostek is ranked at seven in Tractorpull’s latest rankings. Palicki is not in the top row of fighters. That was a complete oversight on my part. She should be in the eight. Kostek has only had three fights this year and is 7-3 in her last ten. Two of her wins were over Tahnee Atkinson. I think this is a 50/50 fight. I will go with Palicki with one caveat. If McCarthy is in her corner, all bets are off
TELES/WINSTEAD Teles is another promising lightweight. She hasn’t got the publicity as Gerber and has had half the fights. She's 5-1 so far. She won her first three over big names that are on the downside. Then she got noticed when she upset Peregrym. Her only loss was to DiDonato. Winstead is a member of the 100 fight club with a 59-50 record. She seems to have moved to the downside which if true, is understandable since she has spent her career fighting the top lightweights She is 3-5 for the year but two of her wins were over Alesha Dixon’ Two of her losses were to her arch rival Yvonne Strahovski. All of her losses in the last two years have been to top ten fighters. Teles has a excellent chance of winning this fight but something makes me go with Winstead
RIGHETTI/LEWIS Lewis is 5-3 in the FCBA and is 2-1 this year with her wins being over Khloe Kardashian and Lawley. I’m not going to talk about Righetti. Righetti is in the top eight welters. Lewis is not. That means she is cannon-fodder
KOSARIN/DENINGS Kosarin is 5-2 for the year. She has a seven fight win streak broken in a loss to Bella Thorne in a title fight and then lost to Olsen. She has wins this year over Scott and Lilly. I won’t mention she also beat McCarthy not once, but twice. Dennings has a much better career record, but hasn’t fought the competition that Kosarin has, In her last 21 fights, she has faced top ten fighters only twice, but that is Front Streets philosophy. A good win/loss record will get one a title fight regardless of the quality of opponents. You can’t fault the strategy as it works. Front Street has their share of title holders. Those two top ten fighters Denning fought, both beat her. If Dennings wins this fight she should be in line for a title fight. I don’t think she will.
ORRANTIA/BENOIST Orrantia has lost seven of her last ten, and is now in her third straight losing year. Benoist is slightly better. She has lost six of her last ten. Benoist has won her last two including an upset win over McMann. One of her losses was to Alexis Ren who was the lightweight champion at the time. Benoist has a three inch height advantage. I go with Benoist
LIVELY/GONZALES Lively is 4-6 in her last ten but she has fought top ranked fighters including Hannah Ferguson who she beat in a big upset in the August PPV She has lost to Hill, Swift and DiDonato. Gonzales has also lost six of her last ten. Her big win was an upset of Strahovski last year. She is 1-4 for this year but every loss was to a top ten fighter. I think this is a 50/50 fight, but I will go with Lively on the strength of her win over Ferguson
McCARTHY/GILLIES. McCarthy is back again. My broadcast mate just can’t admit that she doesn’t have much left anymore. She is 2-7 for the year. She’s 47. She’s a cougar. She could probably do well in the cougars, but is apparently too proud to fight women her age. She maintains age is nothing but a number. Well, Jenny look at this number, 2-7 for the year. Gillies is twenty years younger, but hasn’t done much better than Mac. She’s 4-6 in her last ten. I really feel sorry for Mac and her delusions of mediocrity, so I will predict she will win
UPTON/MCKINNEY Upton is a top seven welter. McKinney is cannon-fodder. That’s all you need to know
L.COLLINS/MONER For the flyweight title. This will be Collins second defense. She’s 9-3 for the year. Moner is 7-2 for the year with wins over Michelle Williams, Olivia Holt and Jessica Lowndes. Moner’s record with her wins makes her a viable opponent. She, however, has a real problem. Collins is five inches taller. I think that is going to be more the Moner can handle. Collins will successfully defend the title
HILL/LIMA For the lightweight title. Hill, making her first defense, couldn’t picked a more dangerous fighter at the present time. Lima is coming off consecutive wins over Aldridge, Peregrym and Swift. She 5-2 for the year with both losses being to Ren. Hill’s big win on her way to the title was over Kendall Jenner Lima has a big edge in experience but I am going to predict Hill will retain the title
LAWRENCE/? What’s going on here. This is the second defense in a row where she didn’t know who she was fighting two weeks before the bout
