The Contender

[QuieTSToRM33]

Anyone been watching The Contender so far ? .......... got some good boxers on there ........ 3 ex champs .... welterweights

First episode .......... Michael Clark got whooped by K-9 .... after talkin mad shit about how good he was and blah blah blah

2nd episode ....... Bravo beat Cisneros ......... this was a really good fight in my mind

[Hackamaniac]

yeah i think it's been good as well so far K-9 did woop clark and Bravo was the man in the 2nd fight so i'm looking forward to some more good fights.

[trashydiva24]

i would like to see more boxing/training... but so far i enjoyed the show

[QuieTSToRM33]

FIGHT 3

Balletto vs. Torres

Rd 1. Torres takes it ..... Balletto came out throwing haymakers missing wildly .... Torres easily took it. Torres seems like a lil cocky showboat. Balletto is a puncher.

Rd 2. Balletto dominated the round.

Rd 3. Slugfest. Balletto got cut, then came on strong at the end. Balletto that round though.

Rd 4. Torres put a hurting on him. Round to Torres. Had a chance to knock him out but slipped and fell.

Rd 5. Great fifth rd. Both guys visibly tired. Lots of punches from each.

Winner by Split Decision = Balletto

This fight was ok ...... couldve been a lot better. Interested in seeing what happens in the next round.

[boxingbean]

i like the show, i just see too many repeats over n over making the winner look more victorious..i dont get it...and then during the fights, i hate to see the close ups on audience members....pisses me off, all fight, no bullshit, tryin to make it too much a show...ill stick the the REAL fights,

anyone catch that vargas n mosley?? OOOH man, ahahhah

[dboy]

anyone catch that vargas n mosley?? OOOH man, ahahhah
--- that was killer...

I didn't even know there was another contender on until the other day i flipped by it. Set it to record all episodes, haven't been pushing it for shit here in canada

[QuieTSToRM33]

FIGHT 4

Walter Wright vs. Andre Eason

Wright dominated this fight from the get-go. He was obviously more skilled and in better shape. Wright caught Eason with a mean left hook towards the end of round one that sent Eason to the canvas, but Eason was able to get up. He continued to dominate the next 4 rounds.

Winner by Unanimous Decision 50-44 ......... Walter Wright

[Hackamaniac]

Eason has hell of a heart though you gotta give him props for his courage!!

[QuieTSToRM33]

Eason has hell of a heart though you gotta give him props for his courage!!

of course bro ....... you can't teach heart !

[PlasticFuture112]

Blue team all the way...Bravo takes Balleto in his next fight. Bravo is unbelievably technical and can box like crazy. Balleto is just a headhunter and will get outboxed. K9 is a freak of nature with no defence. His shear size will take him far in the show. But the best fighter of them all is on the yellow team. Im not saying names cuz i wanna see if any of you can point him out. He is the most athletic of them all and probably even got paid to participate in this show cuz of his rep. Amazing show and Sugar could probably still knock half of em out with his amazing physique at his age.

Steve Forbes

[ect0m0rph]

Yeah man Im lovin it, K-9 looks awesome, and WW looked good too, I didnt like how he was showing up Eason, Wright was bigger but a little too cocky someone will get him. I think Ebo is gonna do some things my buddy saw him fight and said he fights like arturro gotti, I say watch out for him.

[QuieTSToRM33]

FIGHT 5

Grady Brewer vs. Vinroy Barrett


Rd 1 ... Both guys came out throwing .......... Brewer was clearly the aggressor though ....... round to Brewer.

Rd 2 ... Brewer stayed being the aggressor ...... round to Brewer.

Rd 3 ... Both guys landing shots .... Vinroy throwing wildly at times ... Vinroy headbutt to Brewer .... cut him open ... ref stoppage to check on cut .... round continues .... close round ........ too close to call in my eyes

Rd 4 ... Round to Vinroy ..... easily

Rd 5 ... Slugfest ......... in my eyes round goes to Grady Brewer

on to the scorecards

48-47
49-46
49-46

Unanimous Decision ......... Grady Brewer

Good fight .... thought Brewer might have gone downhill after the cut ...... he stepped it up in the final round to secure the win.

[Hackamaniac]

I couldn't believe Mike won...He was getting his ass whooped then knocked Ebo out wow...

[QuieTSToRM33]

FIGHT 6

Micheal Stewart vs. Ebo Elder


Rd 1 ... Good round ....... Ebo laid some nice heavy shots towards the end of the round ..... Round goes to Ebo.

Rd 2 ... Ebo was really busy that round .. a lot of combinations ... Round to Ebo.

Rd 3 ... Ebo is clearly dominating this fight ....... Round to Ebo.

Rd 4 ... Mike stuns Ebo with a nice right hand ......Ebo is definitely wobbley ... you can tell he doesnt have his feet under him .. Mike puts him down with a left hook .... wow ... down 3 rounds and knocks him out

Winner by KO at 1:52 into 4th round .... Micheal Stewart

[dedic8ed1]

None of these guys or anyone from the first contender can compete with the who's who in the 147 to 160 division anyone who thinks different is nuts or doesn't watch boxing.Tarver,Spinks,Mayorga,Margorita,Delahoya if he fights again,Wright,the list goes on and on.these guya are a joke on the show

[Hackamaniac]

I told you Sergio is suppose to fight Jermaine Taylor..

[dedic8ed1]

That don't mean shit bro,he's garbage too and he's gonna get smoked

[Box This*]

I told you Sergio is suppose to fight Jermaine Taylor..

Sergio couldnt beat manfredo in his home town without a a fixed win....taylor wont even fight it if he does hes degrading him self...taylor in my eyes in the boxing scene atm is the man to beat although he beat hopkins at his career end hes still world class.

I'm not saying Sergio will win,I'm just saying he's fighting a badass,so will see how he does...

[Box This*]

It just bugs me when a medioca apponent is in with a chance of fighting a world class boxer...it just dont make sense....theres alot of well earned boxers out there at light middle wieght that should be fighting first.

If it does happen mora to lose in the first round by devistating beating

[QuieTSToRM33]

FIGHT 7

Nick Acevedo vs. Jeff Fraza

Rd 1 ... Nick looked very good, relaxed, throwing nice hands. Jeff looked a lil stiff and tight. Round to Acevedo

Rd 2 ... Acevedo dominated the round. Jeff had nothing. Round to Acevedo.

Rd 3 ... Acevedo visibly starting to tire after being so busy in the first 2 rounds. Jeff is landing some nice clean shots in. Round to Fraza.

Rd 4 ... This round was a battle. Both fighters throwing a lot of punches. Fraza hit Acevedo with a nice left uppercut, stunned him a bit. Round to Fraza.

Rd 5 ... Great fifth round. Both guys left it all in the ring. In my eyes, that round goes to Acevedo.


Winner by unanimous decision .... Nick Acevedo.

[QuieTSToRM33]

FIGHT 8

Freddy Curiel vs. Steve Forbes

Rd 1 ... Crazy action .... Freddy definitely came to fight. Both guys had good sequences. Round to Curiel.

Rd 2 ... Wow .... at one point Forbes was laying it on Curiel up against the ropes, who seemed defenseless. Round to Forbes.

Rd 3 ... Closest round yet ..... A lot of action, lots of punches. That round could go either way. In my eyes, round to Curiel.

Rd 4 ... Really good fight so far. This was another close round. I'd have to give that round to Forbes.

Rd 5 ... Forbes landed the bigger shots in the last round . Round to Forbes.


Winner by Unanimous Decision ..... Steve Forbes.

[Hackamaniac]

Damn I missed this one..I forgot it was on..

[BgMc31]

Love the show but I don't understand why they just cant show the fight in it's entirety (like they do in TUF) instead of throwing in the overdramatized action, special effects. I think Stevie Forbes or K9 will win the whole thing. Stevie Forbes is great at 130! And I think K9 would be even better and stronger at 154.

[QuieTSToRM33]

K-9 has a tough fight in the quarterfinals ...... Walter Wright aint no walk in the park.

Im looking forward to the Forbes/Acevedo fight.

I believe these are right

K-9/Wright
Balleto/Bravo
Stewart/Brewer
Forbes/Acevedo

[QuieTSToRM33]

Rd 2 ... Forbes came on this round. Looks like he woke up. Round to Forbes.

Rd 3 ... Acevedo laying some heavy gloves on him. Forbes is visibly shook, and slightly cut above the right eye. Acevedo tired out at the end of the round. Round to Acevedo.

Rd 4 ... Acevedo is really gassing out. Forbes is starting to sense it and is throwing more punches. Round to Forbes.

Rd 5 ... Both guys letting it all out. Crowd is really behind Forbes. Forbes is landing the bigger shots, but Acevedo is right there battling back. Forbes ends the fight with a flury to the body. Round to Forbes.


48-47 Forbes
48-47 Acevedo
48-47 Forbes

Winner by Split Decision ... Steve Forbes

[ect0m0rph]

Forbes looked beatable to me, he had some awesome rounds but that was only because Nick was tired, he almost got knocked out, but that is the sign of a champion. Quiet, what are your thoughts on Wright/Bundrage I think it could be the best fight yet, Im gonna go upset and say Wright.

Acevedo def gassed in those last rounds.

As far as Wright/Bundrage, I would like to see K9 win just cause Wright has a big mouth. But i think Wright is very talented and will come away with the win as long as he doesnt take a big shot. I personally think Wright is the favorite in this fight and K9 would be the dog.

[allsaucedup]

K-9 is a fighter but walter wright is a boxer he is slick and looks real smooth in the ring if he is smart enough to avoid k-9's big punches he should win easy. doesn't K-9 look freaking huge for 155lb fighter

[QuieTSToRM33]

FIGHT 10 - Quarterfinals

Cornelius "K9" Bundrage vs. Walter Wright


Rd 1 ... Typical first round .... K9 threw more punches ... did a lil bit of holding ..... Round to K9.

Rd 2 ... K9 got a warning for holding and pulling him in ..... K9 landed more shots .... Close round.

Rd 3 ... Walter is really attacking this round. K9 is starting to tire. Round to Walter. By the way, I wanna choke out Walter's girlfriend, bitch just keeps screaming and yelling, shut the fvck up bitch.

Rd 4 ... A lot of action .... another close round .... I'd give it to K9.

Rd 5 ... Crazy 5th round ..... this might be the tightest fight yet. Too close .... I'd give it to K9.

Winner by Unanimous Decision .... Cornelius "K9" Bundrage

[ect0m0rph]

K9 looked good, I think he would be a fool to face Forbes in the next round. Go in the other fight and roll. Tonight Stewart v Brewer and Bravo v Balletto. I like Stewart and Bravo. I dont see anyone beating steve forbes
