TESS VALMORE
Once again, I present this month edition of my much ridiculed predictions. As usual it it littered with unflattering comments, cheap shots and unjustified criticism. In June I went 38-10 running my total to 2706-837 or 76% correct
McCARTHY/MAWBY. McCarthy is a little old for the beach. She is 1-3 for the year, with that one win being over Beckinsale. Mawby is 2-1 with both wins being on the beach, where she is 8-0. Mac has had her share of beach fights being 5-3. I doubt many expect McCarthy to win, but I am going to go with Mac.
Why? She may be 22 years older but she is also five inches taller. Her height and reach should win
LAWLEY/T.ATKINSON. Sure, Lawley is big and won both her fights this year. Atkinson is 4-1 for the year with her loss being to Upton. Boxing World has her ranked at three in the welters. Lawley is ranked at seventeen with a career record of 13-12. Speaks a lot for the depth in the welters. This is another fight with a big height difference. Lawley is six inches taller, You got that right, six inches. It won’t help her. Atkinson will win
THERON/GOODWIN. I’m barred from predicting Theron fights
LAVIGNE/BASSINGER Avril is 6-2 for the year, but one of those losses was to Emma Roberts meaning Avril is now playing second fiddle. She can’t be happy with that and has won her four bouts since. Bassinger is not having a good year being 1-3. Not a good time to fight Lavigne. Avril will win in five’
B.THORNE/S.MITCHELL. Thorne is having an off year thus far being 3-3. Two of those losses were in title fights, one for the bantam title and the other for a JMD title. Mitchell had a terrible 2019 then turned things around and had a good 2020. This year, not so good. She is 0-2. Bella will make it 0-3.
E.ROBERTS/C.RAMIREZ. Roberts is 3-2 for the year with her losses being to Holt in a title fight and Lowndes. Ramirez is 3-1 for the year with her loss also being to Holt in a title fight. Roberts has the advantage of experience. I think Roberts will win
WINNICK/PUGH. The fourth Dollhouse bout on the card. This is a mother/daughter bout. Winnick is nineteen years older than her opponent. Winnick’s age may be catching up with her. After great years in 2018-2019, her record fell to 3-5 last year and is 3-3 this year. Pugh has had only five bouts in the FCBA and BBU combined. She has won all five, but her opponents were average to below average fighters, which is OK since she is a rookie. Winnick will stop that win steak
LOWNDES/BEER. Lowndes is veteran fighter, this being her eleventh year. She has a 49-28 career record and has held the flyweight title once. She is 3-2 for the year. Beer has a 9-4 record fighting generally average fighters. The best fighter she has faced is Lavigne who has beaten her twice. Lowndes is above the average level. Lowndes will win
DOBREV/COWAN. Dobrev is now on our Hall Of Fame watch. This will be her 84th fight but she only needs seven wins in her next seventeen fights to get the win average requirement. She is 3-1 for the year. Cowan has had four fights thus far in her career winning three. At this point I think that Dobrev is a step too far. Dobrev will win.
CORRIGAN/MENARD. Corrigan has had thirteen fights winning nine. Her biggest win was probably over Palvin. Menard is 24-8 in the BBU, but this side the Atlantic pond has not been good to her as she is 0-5. She has fought much better competition than Corrigan and should win if this fight was in Belfast. It isn’t. It’s not the fighter. It is a jinx location. Corrigan will win.
ALDRIDGE/CERNY. Aldridge is 3-0 for the year and has won six of her last seven with wins over Ambrosio and Lima. Cerny is 1-1 for the year. but has lost five of her last six. She, however, has faced better competition. My problem with Cerny is that she has lost twice to Gibbs. Maybe it’s a style thing the former commissioner used to talk bout, but I am going to go with Aldridge.
ROHRBACH/GRAVES. JMD
TATANGELO/CHRISLEY. Tatangelo is a newbie with one fight beating Jill Wagner
Chrisley broke into the FCBA last year and has a 2-1 record. I really don’t know anything about these two, but I will go with Chrisley, She’s blonde
FRADEGRADA//QUALLEY. Fradegrada is coming on strong this year with a 8-1 record with wins over some good opponents. Qualley made her debut in February and now has a 1-2 record. I am of the opinion that Fradegrada is going to win.
LAMBORGHINI/MONREAL. JMD
PORTMAN/V.HUDGENS Both are members of the Hall Of Fame. It’s hard to believe that the two have been in the FCBA for fourteen years but have only met twice. Each has a win so this is a long awaited best of three. Hudgens is 3-2 for the year while Portman is 2-2. Portman is 7-3 in her last ten. Hudgens is 6-4. Both have lost to McNamara and Lily Collins while Hudgens also lost to Michelle Williams while Portman beat Williams. I think this is a 50/50 fight. Portman will win the best of three
CAMERON/CHENG. Cheng made he debut in February and has had two fights winning both against below average competition, but fine for a newcomer. Cameron has a 8-13 record, but is 3-1 for the year with wins over Bassinger and Keegan. Cameron will hand Cheng her first loss
LAWRENCE/LYNN Lawrence is fighting Sabrina Lynn. I have no idea who Sabina Lynn is. I don’t find her in the archives. When it’s known vs unknown, I always go with the known. Lawrence will add another “w” in her record
SAGRA/KNOWLES. Sagra had a poor year last year, but has turned it around this year winning four of six, losing her last two to Hoopes and Tailor. Sagra has a 21-12 career record. Knowles has been in the FCBA as long as Sagra. Their first fight was against each other. Sagra won. Since then Knowles has had only two more fights winning one. Sagra will make it two in a row over Knowles
Z.COLEMAN/DELEVIGNE. Coleman has a 6-9 record and has lost four of her last five. Delevigne has a 13-14 career record and has also lost four of her last five. Delevigne has fought the far better competition. The two have fought once before with Delevigne winning. She will repeat
CERNY/SANTORO This is the second Cerny prediction. One will go on a CBAD or another card. I don’t know which Cerny fight will go on this card. I’ve already given Cerny’s record so I will not repeat. Santoro has a 25-10 career record and has won nine of her last ten. Santoro will win.
KRAVITZ/PARRISH. Kravitz made her debut at the July 4th festivities beating beating Evigan and now at the age of 32 is looking for her second fight. Parrish is as good as any for a newbie. She has a 3-10 record. I will go with Kravitz to win her second bout.
KLOSS/WILLERTON Kloss after a great 6-0 start has recently been nothing short of terrible. She has lost nine of her last ten and has dropped to thirty-seven in the Boxing Worlds welter rankings. Willerton has a combined 7-6 record in the BBU and FCBA and is 3-1 on this side of the Atlantic. She had a big win over Kubicka in her last fight. I’ll have to go with Willerton
STEINFELD/MCADAMS. Steinfeld has a 7-10 career record and won her first bout of this year. McAdams is a member of the 100 fight club with a 54-46-1 record and is a four time bantam champ. She is now 42 years old which makes her seventeen years older than her opponent. Since the beginning of last year, she has lost five of her last six still fighting decent opponents. This fight is going to tell us more about McAdams than Steinfeld. I’ll take a chance on McAdams
G.HADID/MCMANN. Hadid has a career record of 6-18 and has lost her last twelve. McMann has a 11-2 record and has won four of five this year. I can’t conceive of McMann losing. She won’t
LARSON/ROBBIE Larson has a 19-9 record, won her first bout of the year and four of her last five. Her loss was to Olsen who she beat this year. Robbie has a 27-24 career record and has lost four of her last five, all to good fighters. Her one win was over Demi Lovato. I like Robbie and wish I could say that she will win, but unfortunately I think the winner will be Larson. I will be delighted to be wrong
LOVATO/RIDLEY. Lovato has a career record of of 46-24 and has a fine chance of getting into the Hall Of Fame She has won four of her last five with the defeat coming at the hands of Kosarin. Ridley has a combined 27-14. The best part of her record is in the BBU where is 12-2. She has won her last five. This fight is in the FCBA, where she has lost four of her last five. Ridley will lose this one also
KYLIE JENNER/AGDAL. I have always thought that Jenners win over Upton was a freak. I was surprised when she got signed to a stable, however since then she has won five of six. Since that time she was fought only one good fighter, DiDonato, who beat her. Let’s just say I am not impressed. Agdal has gone 6-4 in her last ten. She beats the average fighter but loses to the good ones. Agdal has a three inch height advantage. That should be big help. Adgal will win
DAY/KERR. Day has a 10-4 record and has won all three of her fights this year. She just beat Yustman on the 10th, but I don’t know if it doesn’t say more about Yustman than Day. Kerr has fought just about everywhere and has a combined record of 38-15 with her record in the FCBA being 21-14. She has a combined record of 0-3 for the year. I’m going to go with Kerr
STRAHOVSKI/WINSTEAD. Unquestionably the best and longest rivalry since the legendary Theron rivalries with Nolin, Bell and Garner. This will be number 17 in this rivalry. Yvonne has now won nine, having won the last two and Mary Elizabeth has won seven. When these two get together you can throw out the records, flip a coin and hope you come out a winner. Yvonne has one big advantage. She’s blonde. Of course. That means that Yvonne will win
PAUSINI/VANDERVOORT. Vandervoort is a decent fighter with a 38-42 combined record. She, however, has lost her last seven. She’s a bantam, Pausini fights at bantam and lightweight or try's to. She has actually won nine fights in the BBU but in the FCBA she is 0-23. I doubt Vandervoort wants to be the fighter who lost to Pausini. Won’t happen. Pausini loses number 24.
PALICKI/RIGHETTI. Two of the best. Palicki is 7-2-1 in her last ten. Her losses were to Kendall Jenner in a title fight and Kate “The Queen” Upton. Righetti is well, “Righetti” She won eight of her last ten and has the highest win ratio of any fighter (mainly due to the weak welter division) The two have split two fights so this is for the best of three. I would love to see Palicki win this fight, but you know my rule. I never bet against Righetti
MAISIE WILLIAMS/PANETTIERE Williams has a combined 18-15 record, but is 9-8 in the FCBA. She has lost five of her last six, a couple of those losses being to Holt and Cheryl Cole. Panettiere is only 32, however, the Hall Of Fame member turned to the downside at the end of 2017. She has a 9-13 record since then. The two met last year with Hayden getting a KO5. She will repeat, probably winning in the same round
SCODELARIO/RONAN. Scodelario holds down the fifth spot in Boxing World’s bantam rankings. She has won eight of her last ten with her losses being to being to Ratajkowski and Kosarin. Ronan has had fourteen fights winning ten and has won her last seven. I nice streak that stops here as Kaya wins
CHIARA NASTI/KEEGAN. Nasti has been busy since making her debut in April PPV. She has won four of six losing to Vikander and Demi Rose. This will be Keegan’s combined 98th bout and her combined record is 47-50. She is 23-26 in the FCBA. She has lost eight of her last ten. I think the Italian will win
DI PATRIZI/A.DIXON. Di Patrizi is another who made her debut in the April PPV and has been very busy since with eight bouts in 2 1/2 months. She has won six of eight losing to Nemoto and Chopra. Let’s face it. If you are fighting in the FCBA, Dixon is a go to for a win. Need I say more. Di Patrizi wins
OLSEN/M.KELLY. Olsen is a top bantam, who since the beginning of last year has a 14-5 record. She is 4-2 for the year losing her last two to Larson and Kosarin. Mr Vassago has built up a stable containing four probable Hall Of Fame members. Minka Kelly is one and she is not probable, All she needs is eleven fights and she is in, since she already has the win ratio. This is one of the eleven. Minka has now won thirteen in a row. Her last loss was to Robbie in May 2019. Winning streaks are made to be broken and Olsen can definitely do it, but until somebody does it my money is on Kelly
LIVELY/H.DAVIS. Since 2016 Lively has alternated good years and poor years. This year is a poor year. She has lost all three of her fights this year and four of her last five. Davis has an 8-10 career record. She is 2-1 for the year and has won four of her last five. I going with Lively to win. She has faced the better competition.
A.LYNCH/CYRUS. Lynch has a career record of 35-14 and is 5-2 for the year. Her competition has been a little on the light side but I can’t forget that she has beaten Alexis Ren not once, but twice. This will be Cyrus’ first fight in over a year. She had a terrible 2020 losing all five of her fights. The two have fought once before with Cyrus winning. Lynch will even the score.
HOOPES/BOCCIA. Hoopes has had sixteen fights of which twelve have been at JMD/D. Her record is 6-10. She has suddenly become popular in conventional bouts. She is 3-1 for the year and has had wins over Yustman, Sagra and Decker. Boccia is another of the IBB newbies. She won her first bout earlier this month beating Beyonce. I have to go with Hoopes
HSIEH/KANG. Hsieh made her debut in March and fought two bouts in three days winning both. Kang has been around since 2017 and hasn’t exactly set the world on fire. She has lost eight of her ten bouts. Kang has one factor in her favor. She is four inches taller than Hsieh. If Kang loses this bout, I would suggest she retire. Kang’s reach will win the bout for her.
CAVANIS/PALVIN. Cavanis made her debut in April and this will be her seventh fight. She has a 4-2 record and has beaten Palvin and Goodwin in her last two.
Palvin has to be a disappointment. In 2016-17, She compiled a 9-3 record. Since then she had gone downhill and is at the bottom having terrible 2-14 history. In face of Palvin’s troubles, I have to to with Cavanis
E.WATSON/JUSTICE. Watson has had a good couple of years winning thirteen of seventeen. Although she held the title at the end of 2019 into 2020 She’s now one of those fighters who beat the average and lose to the good. Justice fits into the average category and has lost her last four. Watson will be victorious
REN/SWIFT. This is a body saddle bout. You might also call this a best of seven bout. The two have fought five times with Swift winning three. Ren is 4-2 for the year and one of those losses were to Swift.. Ren is 6-3 against top fighters. More importantly a Swift win in the fight will be her sixtieth win which will pretty much guarantee her entry in the Hall of Fame. All she will need is more bouts. Swift will win.
RATAJKOWSKI/BUSH A JMD title bout
DIDONATO/LEOTTA JMDD title bout
TAILOR.TURNER Queen Of The Ice Hotel. Tailor is 4-2 for the year with wins over Swift and Upton. Turner has lost four of her last five, all to top twenty opponents. Tailor will remain Queen.
O.HOLT/MENDES For the Unified Flyweight title. Mendes is 2-1 for the year and has won seven of her last ten. This will be Holt’s fifth defense. Obviously someone is going the break that streak and take the title from her. It won’t be Mendes. Holt retains the title
SCOTT/NEMOTO. For the Unified Bantam title. I don’t know what to think about Nemoto. She had seven fights posted on one day in March and another six on one day in June. She had eleven fights in June. She got to title shot by beating Frege. who everybody knows is the gateway to a title bout (sarcasm?). This will be Scott’s fifth title defense. It won’t be her last
ARTERTON/KENDALL JENNER For the Unified Lightweight title, The Front Street strategy works again. Build up good won/loss numbers and you can get a title fight no matter who your fighter had fought. Jenner’s last opponent had 34 wins. Arterton’s last four opponents have a combined thirteen wins and three had two wins or less. This could actually be a good fight, but Jenner will retain her title
FERGUSON/KOSTEK For the Unified Welterweight Title. Kostek earned the title bout by winning the Diamond tournament. She is 7-1 for the year. This will be Ferguson first defense since taking the title from Upton in a ridiculous sauna fight. The two have fought once before with Ferguson winning. I think she will repeat that win
UPTON/APRIL BBU JMDD TITLE, I usually don’t predict JMD/D fights but Upton is a good friend. I have been barred from predicting Theron fights but I haven’t been barred from predicting Upton fights, yet. I have no idea who April is but note she is five inches shorter than the “Queen” Kate will win
Once again, I present this month edition of my much ridiculed predictions. As usual it it littered with unflattering comments, cheap shots and unjustified criticism. In June I went 38-10 running my total to 2706-837 or 76% correct
McCARTHY/MAWBY. McCarthy is a little old for the beach. She is 1-3 for the year, with that one win being over Beckinsale. Mawby is 2-1 with both wins being on the beach, where she is 8-0. Mac has had her share of beach fights being 5-3. I doubt many expect McCarthy to win, but I am going to go with Mac.
Why? She may be 22 years older but she is also five inches taller. Her height and reach should win
LAWLEY/T.ATKINSON. Sure, Lawley is big and won both her fights this year. Atkinson is 4-1 for the year with her loss being to Upton. Boxing World has her ranked at three in the welters. Lawley is ranked at seventeen with a career record of 13-12. Speaks a lot for the depth in the welters. This is another fight with a big height difference. Lawley is six inches taller, You got that right, six inches. It won’t help her. Atkinson will win
THERON/GOODWIN. I’m barred from predicting Theron fights
LAVIGNE/BASSINGER Avril is 6-2 for the year, but one of those losses was to Emma Roberts meaning Avril is now playing second fiddle. She can’t be happy with that and has won her four bouts since. Bassinger is not having a good year being 1-3. Not a good time to fight Lavigne. Avril will win in five’
B.THORNE/S.MITCHELL. Thorne is having an off year thus far being 3-3. Two of those losses were in title fights, one for the bantam title and the other for a JMD title. Mitchell had a terrible 2019 then turned things around and had a good 2020. This year, not so good. She is 0-2. Bella will make it 0-3.
E.ROBERTS/C.RAMIREZ. Roberts is 3-2 for the year with her losses being to Holt in a title fight and Lowndes. Ramirez is 3-1 for the year with her loss also being to Holt in a title fight. Roberts has the advantage of experience. I think Roberts will win
WINNICK/PUGH. The fourth Dollhouse bout on the card. This is a mother/daughter bout. Winnick is nineteen years older than her opponent. Winnick’s age may be catching up with her. After great years in 2018-2019, her record fell to 3-5 last year and is 3-3 this year. Pugh has had only five bouts in the FCBA and BBU combined. She has won all five, but her opponents were average to below average fighters, which is OK since she is a rookie. Winnick will stop that win steak
LOWNDES/BEER. Lowndes is veteran fighter, this being her eleventh year. She has a 49-28 career record and has held the flyweight title once. She is 3-2 for the year. Beer has a 9-4 record fighting generally average fighters. The best fighter she has faced is Lavigne who has beaten her twice. Lowndes is above the average level. Lowndes will win
DOBREV/COWAN. Dobrev is now on our Hall Of Fame watch. This will be her 84th fight but she only needs seven wins in her next seventeen fights to get the win average requirement. She is 3-1 for the year. Cowan has had four fights thus far in her career winning three. At this point I think that Dobrev is a step too far. Dobrev will win.
CORRIGAN/MENARD. Corrigan has had thirteen fights winning nine. Her biggest win was probably over Palvin. Menard is 24-8 in the BBU, but this side the Atlantic pond has not been good to her as she is 0-5. She has fought much better competition than Corrigan and should win if this fight was in Belfast. It isn’t. It’s not the fighter. It is a jinx location. Corrigan will win.
ALDRIDGE/CERNY. Aldridge is 3-0 for the year and has won six of her last seven with wins over Ambrosio and Lima. Cerny is 1-1 for the year. but has lost five of her last six. She, however, has faced better competition. My problem with Cerny is that she has lost twice to Gibbs. Maybe it’s a style thing the former commissioner used to talk bout, but I am going to go with Aldridge.
ROHRBACH/GRAVES. JMD
TATANGELO/CHRISLEY. Tatangelo is a newbie with one fight beating Jill Wagner
Chrisley broke into the FCBA last year and has a 2-1 record. I really don’t know anything about these two, but I will go with Chrisley, She’s blonde
FRADEGRADA//QUALLEY. Fradegrada is coming on strong this year with a 8-1 record with wins over some good opponents. Qualley made her debut in February and now has a 1-2 record. I am of the opinion that Fradegrada is going to win.
LAMBORGHINI/MONREAL. JMD
PORTMAN/V.HUDGENS Both are members of the Hall Of Fame. It’s hard to believe that the two have been in the FCBA for fourteen years but have only met twice. Each has a win so this is a long awaited best of three. Hudgens is 3-2 for the year while Portman is 2-2. Portman is 7-3 in her last ten. Hudgens is 6-4. Both have lost to McNamara and Lily Collins while Hudgens also lost to Michelle Williams while Portman beat Williams. I think this is a 50/50 fight. Portman will win the best of three
CAMERON/CHENG. Cheng made he debut in February and has had two fights winning both against below average competition, but fine for a newcomer. Cameron has a 8-13 record, but is 3-1 for the year with wins over Bassinger and Keegan. Cameron will hand Cheng her first loss
LAWRENCE/LYNN Lawrence is fighting Sabrina Lynn. I have no idea who Sabina Lynn is. I don’t find her in the archives. When it’s known vs unknown, I always go with the known. Lawrence will add another “w” in her record
SAGRA/KNOWLES. Sagra had a poor year last year, but has turned it around this year winning four of six, losing her last two to Hoopes and Tailor. Sagra has a 21-12 career record. Knowles has been in the FCBA as long as Sagra. Their first fight was against each other. Sagra won. Since then Knowles has had only two more fights winning one. Sagra will make it two in a row over Knowles
Z.COLEMAN/DELEVIGNE. Coleman has a 6-9 record and has lost four of her last five. Delevigne has a 13-14 career record and has also lost four of her last five. Delevigne has fought the far better competition. The two have fought once before with Delevigne winning. She will repeat
CERNY/SANTORO This is the second Cerny prediction. One will go on a CBAD or another card. I don’t know which Cerny fight will go on this card. I’ve already given Cerny’s record so I will not repeat. Santoro has a 25-10 career record and has won nine of her last ten. Santoro will win.
KRAVITZ/PARRISH. Kravitz made her debut at the July 4th festivities beating beating Evigan and now at the age of 32 is looking for her second fight. Parrish is as good as any for a newbie. She has a 3-10 record. I will go with Kravitz to win her second bout.
KLOSS/WILLERTON Kloss after a great 6-0 start has recently been nothing short of terrible. She has lost nine of her last ten and has dropped to thirty-seven in the Boxing Worlds welter rankings. Willerton has a combined 7-6 record in the BBU and FCBA and is 3-1 on this side of the Atlantic. She had a big win over Kubicka in her last fight. I’ll have to go with Willerton
STEINFELD/MCADAMS. Steinfeld has a 7-10 career record and won her first bout of this year. McAdams is a member of the 100 fight club with a 54-46-1 record and is a four time bantam champ. She is now 42 years old which makes her seventeen years older than her opponent. Since the beginning of last year, she has lost five of her last six still fighting decent opponents. This fight is going to tell us more about McAdams than Steinfeld. I’ll take a chance on McAdams
G.HADID/MCMANN. Hadid has a career record of 6-18 and has lost her last twelve. McMann has a 11-2 record and has won four of five this year. I can’t conceive of McMann losing. She won’t
LARSON/ROBBIE Larson has a 19-9 record, won her first bout of the year and four of her last five. Her loss was to Olsen who she beat this year. Robbie has a 27-24 career record and has lost four of her last five, all to good fighters. Her one win was over Demi Lovato. I like Robbie and wish I could say that she will win, but unfortunately I think the winner will be Larson. I will be delighted to be wrong
LOVATO/RIDLEY. Lovato has a career record of of 46-24 and has a fine chance of getting into the Hall Of Fame She has won four of her last five with the defeat coming at the hands of Kosarin. Ridley has a combined 27-14. The best part of her record is in the BBU where is 12-2. She has won her last five. This fight is in the FCBA, where she has lost four of her last five. Ridley will lose this one also
KYLIE JENNER/AGDAL. I have always thought that Jenners win over Upton was a freak. I was surprised when she got signed to a stable, however since then she has won five of six. Since that time she was fought only one good fighter, DiDonato, who beat her. Let’s just say I am not impressed. Agdal has gone 6-4 in her last ten. She beats the average fighter but loses to the good ones. Agdal has a three inch height advantage. That should be big help. Adgal will win
DAY/KERR. Day has a 10-4 record and has won all three of her fights this year. She just beat Yustman on the 10th, but I don’t know if it doesn’t say more about Yustman than Day. Kerr has fought just about everywhere and has a combined record of 38-15 with her record in the FCBA being 21-14. She has a combined record of 0-3 for the year. I’m going to go with Kerr
STRAHOVSKI/WINSTEAD. Unquestionably the best and longest rivalry since the legendary Theron rivalries with Nolin, Bell and Garner. This will be number 17 in this rivalry. Yvonne has now won nine, having won the last two and Mary Elizabeth has won seven. When these two get together you can throw out the records, flip a coin and hope you come out a winner. Yvonne has one big advantage. She’s blonde. Of course. That means that Yvonne will win
PAUSINI/VANDERVOORT. Vandervoort is a decent fighter with a 38-42 combined record. She, however, has lost her last seven. She’s a bantam, Pausini fights at bantam and lightweight or try's to. She has actually won nine fights in the BBU but in the FCBA she is 0-23. I doubt Vandervoort wants to be the fighter who lost to Pausini. Won’t happen. Pausini loses number 24.
PALICKI/RIGHETTI. Two of the best. Palicki is 7-2-1 in her last ten. Her losses were to Kendall Jenner in a title fight and Kate “The Queen” Upton. Righetti is well, “Righetti” She won eight of her last ten and has the highest win ratio of any fighter (mainly due to the weak welter division) The two have split two fights so this is for the best of three. I would love to see Palicki win this fight, but you know my rule. I never bet against Righetti
MAISIE WILLIAMS/PANETTIERE Williams has a combined 18-15 record, but is 9-8 in the FCBA. She has lost five of her last six, a couple of those losses being to Holt and Cheryl Cole. Panettiere is only 32, however, the Hall Of Fame member turned to the downside at the end of 2017. She has a 9-13 record since then. The two met last year with Hayden getting a KO5. She will repeat, probably winning in the same round
SCODELARIO/RONAN. Scodelario holds down the fifth spot in Boxing World’s bantam rankings. She has won eight of her last ten with her losses being to being to Ratajkowski and Kosarin. Ronan has had fourteen fights winning ten and has won her last seven. I nice streak that stops here as Kaya wins
CHIARA NASTI/KEEGAN. Nasti has been busy since making her debut in April PPV. She has won four of six losing to Vikander and Demi Rose. This will be Keegan’s combined 98th bout and her combined record is 47-50. She is 23-26 in the FCBA. She has lost eight of her last ten. I think the Italian will win
DI PATRIZI/A.DIXON. Di Patrizi is another who made her debut in the April PPV and has been very busy since with eight bouts in 2 1/2 months. She has won six of eight losing to Nemoto and Chopra. Let’s face it. If you are fighting in the FCBA, Dixon is a go to for a win. Need I say more. Di Patrizi wins
OLSEN/M.KELLY. Olsen is a top bantam, who since the beginning of last year has a 14-5 record. She is 4-2 for the year losing her last two to Larson and Kosarin. Mr Vassago has built up a stable containing four probable Hall Of Fame members. Minka Kelly is one and she is not probable, All she needs is eleven fights and she is in, since she already has the win ratio. This is one of the eleven. Minka has now won thirteen in a row. Her last loss was to Robbie in May 2019. Winning streaks are made to be broken and Olsen can definitely do it, but until somebody does it my money is on Kelly
LIVELY/H.DAVIS. Since 2016 Lively has alternated good years and poor years. This year is a poor year. She has lost all three of her fights this year and four of her last five. Davis has an 8-10 career record. She is 2-1 for the year and has won four of her last five. I going with Lively to win. She has faced the better competition.
A.LYNCH/CYRUS. Lynch has a career record of 35-14 and is 5-2 for the year. Her competition has been a little on the light side but I can’t forget that she has beaten Alexis Ren not once, but twice. This will be Cyrus’ first fight in over a year. She had a terrible 2020 losing all five of her fights. The two have fought once before with Cyrus winning. Lynch will even the score.
HOOPES/BOCCIA. Hoopes has had sixteen fights of which twelve have been at JMD/D. Her record is 6-10. She has suddenly become popular in conventional bouts. She is 3-1 for the year and has had wins over Yustman, Sagra and Decker. Boccia is another of the IBB newbies. She won her first bout earlier this month beating Beyonce. I have to go with Hoopes
HSIEH/KANG. Hsieh made her debut in March and fought two bouts in three days winning both. Kang has been around since 2017 and hasn’t exactly set the world on fire. She has lost eight of her ten bouts. Kang has one factor in her favor. She is four inches taller than Hsieh. If Kang loses this bout, I would suggest she retire. Kang’s reach will win the bout for her.
CAVANIS/PALVIN. Cavanis made her debut in April and this will be her seventh fight. She has a 4-2 record and has beaten Palvin and Goodwin in her last two.
Palvin has to be a disappointment. In 2016-17, She compiled a 9-3 record. Since then she had gone downhill and is at the bottom having terrible 2-14 history. In face of Palvin’s troubles, I have to to with Cavanis
E.WATSON/JUSTICE. Watson has had a good couple of years winning thirteen of seventeen. Although she held the title at the end of 2019 into 2020 She’s now one of those fighters who beat the average and lose to the good. Justice fits into the average category and has lost her last four. Watson will be victorious
REN/SWIFT. This is a body saddle bout. You might also call this a best of seven bout. The two have fought five times with Swift winning three. Ren is 4-2 for the year and one of those losses were to Swift.. Ren is 6-3 against top fighters. More importantly a Swift win in the fight will be her sixtieth win which will pretty much guarantee her entry in the Hall of Fame. All she will need is more bouts. Swift will win.
RATAJKOWSKI/BUSH A JMD title bout
DIDONATO/LEOTTA JMDD title bout
TAILOR.TURNER Queen Of The Ice Hotel. Tailor is 4-2 for the year with wins over Swift and Upton. Turner has lost four of her last five, all to top twenty opponents. Tailor will remain Queen.
O.HOLT/MENDES For the Unified Flyweight title. Mendes is 2-1 for the year and has won seven of her last ten. This will be Holt’s fifth defense. Obviously someone is going the break that streak and take the title from her. It won’t be Mendes. Holt retains the title
SCOTT/NEMOTO. For the Unified Bantam title. I don’t know what to think about Nemoto. She had seven fights posted on one day in March and another six on one day in June. She had eleven fights in June. She got to title shot by beating Frege. who everybody knows is the gateway to a title bout (sarcasm?). This will be Scott’s fifth title defense. It won’t be her last
ARTERTON/KENDALL JENNER For the Unified Lightweight title, The Front Street strategy works again. Build up good won/loss numbers and you can get a title fight no matter who your fighter had fought. Jenner’s last opponent had 34 wins. Arterton’s last four opponents have a combined thirteen wins and three had two wins or less. This could actually be a good fight, but Jenner will retain her title
FERGUSON/KOSTEK For the Unified Welterweight Title. Kostek earned the title bout by winning the Diamond tournament. She is 7-1 for the year. This will be Ferguson first defense since taking the title from Upton in a ridiculous sauna fight. The two have fought once before with Ferguson winning. I think she will repeat that win
UPTON/APRIL BBU JMDD TITLE, I usually don’t predict JMD/D fights but Upton is a good friend. I have been barred from predicting Theron fights but I haven’t been barred from predicting Upton fights, yet. I have no idea who April is but note she is five inches shorter than the “Queen” Kate will win
