TESS VALMORE


HYLAND/PAGE I thought this bout was going Page’s way until towards the end of the third. Hyland landed a strong punch to Page’s midsection that seemed to change the fight. In the fourth, Hyland landed another strong punch to the midsection and Page went down for the count.

HANRATTY/ROBERTS The rounds were close with Roberts seemingly having the best of the early rounds, which included an accidental low blow that sent Hanratty to the canvas. Hanratty was tired by the end of round five, but Roberts didn’t take the advantage. Hanratty came out and took the sixth and then ended the fight with a right to the face. Hanratty KO7

VIKANDER/JUSTICE Vikander took he first two rounds. Justice, then swept the next three having Vikander is serious trouble in the fourth and fifth. Justice’s inability to finish Vikander in the fourth and fifth would cost her. Vikander came back in sixth to hand Justice a beating and end the fight with a right hand followed by a flurry of punches that sent Justice down for the count

COOK/BILSON Cook pretty much dominated this bout. Bilson would win only the second round, By the sixth round, it seemed that Cook was landing punches almost at will. It was all too much for Bilson who went down for the count

WATSON/KANE Kane had lost six straight going into this match. Well, let’s make that seven straight now. She did put up a good fight through four. In the fifth, Watson caught Kane with a right to the chin and it was the beginning of the end for Kane. Watson hit Kane with everything she had until Kane went down and stayed down

PANETTIERE/SHAHI Hayden had lost four of her last five and two of three to Shahi.
The fight was even at two and even at four. In the fifth, Panettiere went on a fast and hard punching offense that Shahi had trouble handling. Too much trouble A final powerful right to the temple ended Shahi night as she unable to rise and beat the count

HUDGENS/EVIGAN A crowd pleasing bout. Hudgens was hurt in the third and Evigan in the the fourth. Evigan had the better of the fifth. After that it was all Hudgens, who floored Evigan in the sixth and again in the seventh. In the eighth, Evigan again went down from a fierce body attack. As she tried to get to her feet, the referee had seen enough and stepped in to end the bout giving Hudgens an TKO8

HALE/M. WILLIAMS Williams may be 36 and had a lot of fights however she can still beat the young guns. The bout was even at four. Hale then floored Williams in the fifth and took the sixth and seventh to have a big lead. It was all for naught. In the eighth Williams handed Hale a bad beating that had the referee considering stopping the fight. Unfortunately for Hale he didn’t.
In the ninth the beating continued until a huge right to the chin lifted Hale off her feet and into dreamland while the referee went through formality of a count

HALLIWELL/MINOGUE Minogue had the lead at the end of three. In the fourth, Halliwell had a field day sending MInogue back to her corner in bad shape and with a cut over her left eye There wasn’t much left of Minogue as she came out for the fifth and she was easy prey for Halliwell who ended the fight with a big right to the chin

GREENE/R. B. SMITH This was Smith’s debut fight and it ended as most do when a newbie faces and experienced opponent. The fight was even at the end of four with Greene having Smith hurt at the end of that round. About a minute into the fifth Greene landed a straight right and then a left hook that ended Smith’s dreams of victory

TERRELL/BAYLEY A newbie wins in an upset. Terrell had won five straight by KO’s although they were at JMD. She looked like she would win this, her first conventional bout. She didn’t.  She was in control of the bout for the first four rounds. Bayley came on to take the fifth and then ended the bout with a right uppercut to the chin that left Terrell unable to beat the count. Maybe big time JMD fighters aren’t all that good when it comes to conventional bouts.

NIGRI/LOVATO The bout was even at the end of five, the first round having been declared a draw. The fight was even at seven, however Lovato had a big seventh, Nigri barely surviving Nigri was a wreck as she came out for the eighth and didn’t last long as Lovato ended the bout with an uppercut

HOLLAND/FREGE What can you say about Frege? I guess she serves a purpose for anyone who needs a win. She served that purpose. It wasn’t a matter of who was going to win, It was a matter of how long. The answer was four plus. Holland hurt Frege in the fourth and KOed her in the fifth

PIPES/CASSIDY Pipes surprisingly won three of the first four rounds. Then, in the fifth things started to fall apart for the PLP member. Cassidy worked on Pipes midsection with great effect  Pipes didn’t last long in the sixth as a Cassidy right uppercut put Pipes on her face where she remained for the count

SCODELARIO/FONSECA The bout was even at the end of four, with each fighter bleeding from cuts or from the nose. In the fifth Scodelario handed Fonseca a bad beating with Fonseca barely managing to finish the round. The sixth, didn’t last a minute as Scodelario unleashed a right to Fonseca’s chain that sent her down to a KO loss

MITCHELL/CHOPRA This was a back and forth bout. It was even at two, even at four and even at six. The sixth was a particularly good round for Mitchel as she has Chopra hurt at the end of the round. In the seventh, Mitchell unleashed a fierce body attack causing Chopra to drop her guard. Mithcell then landed a right to Chorpa’s temple and the fight was over. Mitchell KO7 I was disappointed in MItchell’s post fight antics which were completely unnecessary

JONES/OLSEN A good fight in which Olsen had as much or more trouble with her attire than she did with her opponent. Olsen got off to a good start winning the first two rounds. Jones came back to even the bout by taking rounds three and four. Olsen went back into the lead by pitching a shutout in the fifth. In the sixth, Jones threw a powerful left that missed it target and Olsen come over top with a strong right. It didn’t miss and Jones went down. She managed to regain her feet only to take another right to her face and she went down for good

DUSHKU/DOBREV Dobrev took the opening round. Then Dushku went on the offense taking the next three rounds and coming close to finishing Dobrev in the second and third rounds. The tide changed in the fifth as Dobrev would take the next three rounds, having Dushku in bad shape in the fifth and sixth rounds. In the eighth. the furious punching went Dobrev’s way. It was all to much for Dushku who stopped punching and the referee stopped the bout awarding Dobrev a TKO8

VANCAMP/ROBBIE A hard punching brawl VanCamp was lucky to survive the first two rounds and she kissed the canvas in each of the two rounds. VanCamp came back to deck Robbie in the third. After that. although the fight was competitive, the bout swung win VanCamp’s favor
In the seventh, VanCamp went on a punching spree targeting Robbie’s body until Robbie finally went down and was unable to beat the count

AMBROSIO/LAKSHMI Lakshmi has never won a fight and she is 46. Why is she still trying to fight? This bout lasted about seven minutes. Lakshmi was lucky to finish the second. A right to the jaw sent Lakshmi to her eighth loss in eight fights

AZALEA/SWANEPOEL Earlier I said that newbies seldom win there first bout. Well this is the second bout of the night to be won by a newbie. The fight was even at the end of six. Swanepoel looked like she was going to take the seventh when she missed with a right and Azalea got inside and ripped into her body. It was all too much for Swanepoel who ended the bout being counted out

K. JENNNER/DELEVINGNE I have said before,  I have had about all I can stand of the Kardashian/Jenner crowd, but I had no doubt as to who was going to win this bout. At least Jenner looks like a fighter. Jenner had the lead at the end of five.. She then took the sixth and seventh to have a commanding lead. In the eighth Jenner floored Delevigne. Delevigne managed to get to her feet only to be beaten helpless and the fight was stopped. This was a new blood bout. My guess is Jenner will have some type of FCBA career. Delevigne will not

INMAN/PREJEAN This was Inman’s first fight. In my predictions, I commented that if Inman loses this fight she has no FCBA career. Inman has no FCBA career The fight was pretty much even at the end of four. In the fifth, the unbelievable happened. Prejean landed a right to Inman’s chin that put her out of her feet. It took Prejean a couple more punches to win her first fight since July 24, 2009 after thirteen straight defeats.

PALICKI/HEATHERTON It’s good to see Palicki back. She was gone for far too long as the lightweights definitely need someone like Palicki She was a constant top ten fighter until she disappeared for 18 months. This was Heatherton’s third bout. Her last fight was against Upton She may be being pushed too fast. Heatherton was looking good having the lead through five although the fifth was a good round for Palicki. Palicki worked Heatherton over in the sixth and in the seventh landed one of her famous right hands that left Heatherton out cold

PERRY/WINSTEAD This fight had title implications. The winner would certainly be in line for a title shot unless Miss Ginny insists on giving the title shot to the 161 ranked lightweight. This bout was fought on the beach right up to waters edge. It was a good fight The bout was even at two, four and six. In the seventh, a Perry blow to the solar plexus sent Winstead down. She managed to get to her feet only to be blitzed by Perry. The final punch sent Winstead into the waster as the ropes gave way. Perry hauled her to dry land and let her drop where she was counted out

PEREGRYM/CUOCO You have to admire Peregrym who is a small lightweight yet consistently fights top fighters. This time is was Cuoco, a Hall Of Fame member who only out of the rankings because of inactivity. After Cuoco took the first two rounds, Peregrym came back to take the next three. Cuoco evened he fight by taking the sixth In the seventh Cuoco floored Peregrym,
Peregrym got to her feet and took advantage of a Cuoco mistake to deck the blonde, The fight slowed down in the eighth with neither having the advantage. In the ninth Missy caught Kaley who was coming in with a right to the chin and Kaley went down and out.

As requested by a couple posters, we will finish the review with the fights that were on the infamous second page. Granted we are very late

STRAHOVSKI/J. RYAN One of the lightweights at the top of the food chain taking on an aging welter. Lets not say aging, lets say old, at least in FCBA terms. I have no idea what MIss Ginny was thinking other than Charlize managed to luck out in her last bout. There was a lot of upper body punching in this bout. Ryan took the first and Yvonne the second. Ryan took the third with a little illegal help from Theron who was roaming the ropes. In the fourth, Yvonne signaled the end was in sight when she decked Ryan. Strahvoski worked Ryan over in the fifth, finishing her with a right to the solar plexus which put Ryan down for the count. There was a lot of extra curricular activity which we not go into other than Yvonne’s challenge She offered Theron a million dollars to fight her again. Now we are big fans of Yvonne, but when she talks money, she is out of Charlize’s class. A million dollars is not that much to someone who makes 16 million a year and has a net worth of 110 million Charlize may have won the last fight, but she is basically toast. She would be stupid to take up the challenge

UPTON/B. HADID I think this was Hadid’s first FCBA bout. If so, she should have taken her sister’s advise and stayed home. In challenging Upton, she was taking on the wrong opponent for her maiden voyage. This was not who would win, but how long it would last The answer was less than four rounds. After two rounds of even fighting, Hadid won the third. No worry. In the fourth Upton caught Hadid with a punch to the temple, then got her on the ropes and used her as a punching bag until the referee stepped in and stopped the fight

KAJLICH/G. HADID Kajlich is mentioned as a top ten candidate who doesn’t fight that much. The 39 year old has had only eight fights in five years. She has however, beaten some good fighters and won six of her eight bouts. She was favored over Hadid simply because she has been around longer. Kajlich got off to a good start by winning the first two rounds. That was her highpoint. Hadid took over and dominated the rest of the fight winning the next five rounds. In the eighth a right hook to the Kajlich’s chin ended the fight. A great win for Hadid

LANCASTER/KLOSS How quick Lancaster shot to the top and how quickly her bubble burst.
After two inconclusive rounds, Lancaster took the lead by winning rounds three, four, five and six. The tide turned in the seventh. I think age had something to do with it as Kloss started to get the best of it. In the ninth, she decked Lancaster, who managed to survive the round. Lancaster still had the lead going into the final round but didn’t manage to finish the round as Kloss landed a right a damaged left eye and Lancaster went down for the count

J. L. COLEMAN/WILKERSON COLEMAN

GADOT/LIVELY Tractopull has been around the FCBA for almost seventeen years and I am told by the old timers that this was the most outrageous title bout ever. A fighter with two FCBA fights and no wins, gets a title shot Gadot also had four BBU fights and won one. Miss Ginny is making a joke of Lively’s title reign. It wasn’t a question of who was going to win. That was a given. It was how long it was going to last. This was a fight that Lively needed to win early, She didn’t. The fight was even at two and still even at the end of six. The end was in the seventh as Lively decked Gadot. LIvely decked Gadot again in the eighth. Gadot got to her feet and Lively poured on the punishment and the fight was stopped..This bout was filled with more of the Strahvoski/Theron drama. Apparently there is some type of bout between the two coming up. I have already said Theron would be stupid to get back into the ring with Strahvoski. A couple weeks ago The Wiz commented that Miss Ginny was one of the smartest managers around. She replied a couple weeks would show if that was correct. I can see the time coming and the Wiz, in a very rare occurrence, is going to be proved wrong

DANES/HOLT For the bantam title Holt got off to a good start taking the first two rounds. In the third Danes started to get on track taking that round and the fourth. Danes continued the attack taking the fifth despite being fouled by Holt who landed a punch to Dane’s trunks. In the sixth Danes went on rampage punching Holt around the ring until a final right cross sent Holt down for the count Danes retains the title.
