TESS VALMORE

SOLO/ R. STEVENS Solo is far from a good fighter, but on paper this was a slight mismatch. In actuality, it was a mismatch. Stevens managed to take the second round. That was it. She didn’t manage to finish the fourth after a Solo hit her with a roundhouse right. Stevens now has lost thirteen out of fourteen. Do you get the idea that she has no future in boxing?

JUSTICE/ SAGLIOTTI Justice in her third fight did better than we expected. That doesn’t mean she won. The didn’t. She did have the lead on the cards at the end of five. Scagliotti got a lecture between rounds that seem to do the trick. She came out in the sixth and gave Justice a bad beating including a cut on the nose. Justice was unable to recover between rounds and was easy picking for Scagliotti who knocked her out with a right hook

DEWAN/ HALE I once made fun of Hale. Well I have to admit I was wrong. She has now won her sixth straight bout. Hale took the first two rounds and then Dewan took the next two. Hale concentrated on Dewan’s body during the bout and the tactic paid off in the sixth, when Dewan went down for the count hugging her battered body

KARDASHIAN/ WILKINSON This was JMD so I was down the bar having a cocktail and discussing the nature of dark matter with the Asylum bartender. Who won? I don’t care, but for those who do, Wilkinson won

DUNST/ STONE This bout was even at the end of four. Dunst should have settled for a four round draw, for after that it was all Stone. Stone battered Dunce in the fifth and sixth rounds, floored her in the seventh and finished Dunce off in the eighth with a pair of rights.

CRUZ/ SHAHI This was Shahi’s first fight since losing the title last April. She didn’t show any effects of a long layoff. Cruz, who had a two height advantage, looked good for the first two rounds. After that, Shahi took over, pretty much having her way for the next three rounds. In the sixth a concentrated body attack sent Cruz to the canvas for the count

SONG/ PORTMAN I had Portman favored. so it was somewhat of a surprise to see Song take three of the first four rounds. Portman, the rallied to take the next three and take the lead. Song came back to take the eighth and even up the bout. In the ninth, Portman decked Song with a right. Song made it to her feet and then was banged along the ropes and helpless so the referee stopped the bout

CYRUS/ CARTER Cyrus was coming into this bout on big upset win over Dobrev in her last bout. She leaves the ring after this fight with even a bigger upset win. Let’s say a huge upset.
Cyrus survived a bad first round and at the end of four the fight was even Cyrus managed to take the fifth to take the lead. In the sixth, Cyrus decked Carter with a left and a pair of rights. Carter didn’t recover between rounds. Cyrus floored her again in the seventh. Carter made it to her feet only to be mauled along the ropes with no defense and the fight was stopped

FREGE/ DENNINGS Frege is another who doesn’t seem to get the message. The FCBA is definitely not her game as she suffers her nineteenth loss in twenty three fights Dennings took three of the first four rounds. Frege came back to take the fifth. Frege looked like she might also take the sixth, when a left to the stomach and right to the jaw but Frege down, out cold

BRYNE/ PIERTERSE Pierterse being fed some obscure opponents to build her record. The tactic worked as she chalked up a win. Rose did win rounds two and three but in the fourth, the round went Pierterse’s way on a foul that Pierterse claimed was an accident. After that, the bout was all Pierterse. She won the fifth, dominated the sixth and ended the bout in the seventh when she landed a right uppercut that sent Bryne down. Bryne got up put was shelled along the ropes and the fight was stopped

FISHEL/ LOVATO Fishel is one of three Hall Of Fame fighters on this card who should call it a day and retire again. Lovato had a miserable record going into this fight. It’s still miserable, just not as miserable as it was. Fishel managed to win the first two rounds. Lovato then took change and reeled off the next four. Fishel did take rounds seven and eight but Lovato won going away by winning the last two rounds for a convincing decision

GLAU/ DOBREV This bout turned out to be fairly one sided. Glau did manage to have the lead at the end of three by taking rounds two and three. After that, she would win only one more round as Dobrev got the wide decision. Dobrev was so commanding that she didn’t even need to foul.

VANDERVOORT/ HOLT After this bout, the champion is going to have to give Holt some consideration, or maybe consider staying away from her. This was a good bout as far as it went. This was one of those even odd bouts. Vandervoort won the odd numbered rounds and Holt the even numbered ones. That is until the seventh. In that round, a stalking Holt landed a savage right hand that put Vandervoort down for the count

HOLMES/ WINSTEAD Holmes may have been a credible opponent (at least in some opinions) but the outcome of this bout was never in doubt. I know we have upsets. We already had one on this card. Holmes did give Winstead a hard time in the second, but that was a highlight of her night. It was a night that ended in the sixth, after Winstead dominated the bout. A right uppercut put Holmes on the canvas. She beat the count, but Winstead trapped her on the ropes and gave her a blistering beating until the referee stopped the bout

LAWRENCE/ COLE This was one of the better fights of the night. Lawrence got off to a good start winning the first rounds including a second round knockdown. Cole came back to even the fight at the end of four. Cole took the lead at the end of five while Lawrence evened it up at the end of six. Lawrence took an active seventh. The eighth was a great round with Lawrence being hurt and Cole being sent to the canvas. The ninth went Cole’s way via a knockdown. Lawrence was ahead going into final round and managed to take that round to get the decision.
This was a big win for Lawrence as Cole is no patsy

PEREGRYM/ CUOCO This was another fine entertaining bout with rankings at stake. The fight was even at the end to two and even at the end of four. Cuoco took the lead winning rounds five and six. Peregrym took round seven and then decked Cuoco not once but twice in the eighth. Kaley won round nine to make the fight close but Missy salted it away by taking the tenth to get the decision.

PERRY/ THERON This is probably going to get me in trouble. Two years ago, the Wiz would have never scheduled a fight against Theron. Now Front Street owns her, not so much because Front Street fighters have improved that much, but Theron is now a totally shot, worn out has been. Charlize has long been my favorite fighter, but while she is the Greatest Of All Time she has become a joke. If management doesn’t retire her, the Commissioner should bar her from further fighting before she gets seriously hurt. Theron did have some good minutes in this bout. but you knew she wasn’t going to finish. We had the bizarre happening of Perry going down in the sixth without being hit. In the seventh Perry essentially destroyed Theron flooring her once. In the eighth, Perry gave the dregs of the tall blonde a horrible beating until Theron went down out cold. This was Theron’s 349th fight. Let’s hope management sees the light and doesn’t schedule 350. Even after this disaster, she still has a 71% win ratio

BELL/ MCLEAN This was a scheduling travesty. At least Charlize faced a very good opponent. Bell is being fed a patsy so she can chalk up an easy victory and claim that unlike the GOAT, she still has something left. McLean did win a round or two. but she was floored and barely managed to survive the fifth. She didn’t survive the sixth as Bell decked her again and then finished her off by pounding her into oblivion causing the referee to stop the bout

NICHOLS/ REGAN Nichols jumped out to a lead taking the first two rounds. Regan, the, took the lead by winning the next three rounds. Nichols regained the lead by taking rounds six and seven. In the eighth Regan landed a big right to the jaw and another right to the head and the bout was suddenly over with Nichols sprawled out on the canvas. Welters beware, your worst nightmare has occurred. Regan is back

OLSEN/ VANCAMP For the bantam title. Olsen surprised me by taking the first two rounds to take the early lead. VanCamp, then got into her groove, and won the next three. The sixth was Olsen’s chance to even the bout up. That didn’t happen. Instead she was decked twice, the second time for good. VanCamp impressively retains her title

PALICKI/ STRAHOVSKI For the lightweight crown. This was Strahovski’s sixth title defense. The first part of the bout didn’t go well for the champ as she lost four of the first five rounds and was knocked down in the third. Strahovski got her mojo back in the sixth winning the round. She then decked Palicki in the seventh to make the fight close. In the eighth, she made the judges task easy as she landed a left fight combination that put Palicki down and out. Strahovski is putting up an impressive title run. It has been said that Lawrence is the heir apparent to Charlize. To me, it looks like it is Yvonne
