This is my first night watching it, i just fell in love

somehow i knew that young kid is going to win

anyone can give a recap as to why the East got beaten so bad?

Been watching from Day 1, and honestly, the only reason I see why East Coast gettin their asses whipped is because West Coast just has better fighters.

And to anyone who says Bosante shouldn't have fought Brent: FVCK YOU. If Brent was meant to be The Contender, he would've won. You all forget that they are the same weight class. It's not Rocky vs. Ivan Drago. I was surprised no one b!tched about Tarick fighting Juan.

I've been watching since day 1 also. And I'm telling you Bosante shouldnt have fought Brent. So fvk you buddy, straight up yer pie hole.

And I'll tell you why: because if BOSANTE was meant to be the contender he wouldnt have had to pick who he saw as the weakest link! Its that simple.

All these guys are going to have to fight a REAL FIGHT sometime.. and Tony hasnt met his yet, he took the easy way out with Brent!

So it was not only cowardly and backstabbing, but it was dumb.
He'll get knocked the fk out, mark my words. Hes a LB (little b****). And I hope his blood gets on his kids too so they can watch him slowly die in the ring.


He just delayed his punishment.

And Ishie WAS the best man in this tournament, and ONLY Sergio could have taken him out. As he did. And it was close nontheless.
But the matchmaker (Jessie) KNEW this was his only way to get Ishie OR Sergio out.
Ishie dropped the ball with Sergio, he shouldve had that one.

I think the last two fights have been the closest, Sergio/Ishie and Alfonzo/Ahmed.

Ahmed had a chance in round 5 to knock him out, but he didnt go for it. His fault, but he has the ability but not enough heart.

Sergio and Ishie, if done again might get different results, but an equally close match every time.



I for one, want to see those two cocky mexicans (Sergio/Alfonzo) out. Their mexican flags torque me off they wave around.. do they want to be mexican or American?
I'm sorry, I'm not down with that stuff.
Even Ahmed, who comes from Lebanon said he loved this country, I was rooting for him AND Ishie.

I hated Ahmed before he came back, but he grew on me fast. Losing him both times certainly took a lot of humor and interest out of the show.

I'm also over hating Anthony.
I want either Tony, Jesse, Peter or Joey to take this. Though Jesse should have taken on Ishie himself, but went out a coward.

Tony and Jesse will prob get knocked the fk out. They are cowards at heart. Cant face it like a man like Alfonzo did or the others.

I'd put my money on one of the two mexicans to take this. They have hunger the other guys dont even understand. That said, I hope they dont.. too much mexico flag waving for me. Come to the land of the free and wave that flag around.. punks.

The point on Tony was, he'll face his maker soon.
If he'd fought a tough fight he would have gotten BOTH the honor/respect AND find out if he really is meant to win.

Plus no one is going to be as scared of him as they are of Alfonzo.. for obvious reasons.. hes one to take the easy way out to win.. it will catch up.

Dude, you sound like a FVCKING racist. What the hell is wrong with you. I'll leave you with your different opinion about Bosante, but just because Sergio and Alfonso have some homeland pride, doesn't mean they deserve the WIN. Why do you hate them for waving their flags and showing pride for their home country?

Oh dont get all crazy on me now with this racism crap.
Its not about race, dont be a moron. Its about nationalism. Dont even go there.

On the flipside, if they love mexico so much.. then why dont they go on the mexican Contender show? It has nothing to do with race, someone needs to smack that word you are misusing right out of your mouth dude.

Explain how waving American or Mexican flags is directly related to racism and I'll admit I"m a racist and die a horrible death.

My man was Ishie all the way, and now I'm a racist? Odd huh? Just shutup before you look even more like an idiot. Really.
And I was for Ahmed all the way when he was brought back.. but now I'm a racist? Seriously I'd love to smack you.

And this quote

Tony and Jesse will prob get knocked the fk out. They are cowards at heart. Cant face it like a man like Alfonzo did or the others.

I even boost up Alfonzo as being the biggest man with the greatest heart.. but no.. I'm a racist who all of the sudden HATES (strong word choice their pal) Alfonzo for being a mexican? Right.
Walk on noobcake. Hope you realize Manfredo is from Mexico too.
I'd love nothing more than to put my foot up your a$$ man.
NOTHING pisses me off more than people who abuse the word racist.

If you are smart enough to understand it has nothing to do with racism (which I doubt, but you might surprise me).. then we can speak further.
Or you can take your racism claims back, because they arent true and you know it.. and we can speak like civilized people.. not smearing this "racism"crap all over..
GROW UP, the 90's ARE OVER.. not everyone is a racist because you can throw that overused word around chump.


I'll sum it up: my money is on Alfonzo or Sergio to take it all. Alfonzo is hungrier by far. He wants it so bad he can taste blood.
But my personal picks that i want to win now? Joey or Manfredo. edit- Leaning more towards Joey due to his smaller size (apparantly at least).. hes still the underdog everyone thinks is going out next.

I was for Jesse for #1, until he backed down from Ishie. Then I was for Ishie, now that hes gone.. its all Manfredo or Joey for me.
With Joey getting preference before hes out of the tournament. Then I'll be rooting for Manfredo.

Everyone still thinks Joey is some weak puny fighter, he still doesnt have his respect and I hope he outhearts everyone like Alfonzo has.

well bumpage for this week, of joey vs. manfredo.

that was an unfortunate turn of events, with manfredo headbutting joey on accident, but the score cards tell the tale. he was getting his shots in in the fifth round, too bad he seemed to freaking tire out in the third and fourth rounds as he did in his very first fight.

 

[Modeps]

Last nights fight was incredible. I loved it. With Joey fighting through a busted rib, he really gave it everything he had. Even if he had won though, I think he probably would have been medically disqualified in the end. The post-fight interview with Joey had my wife crying her eyes out.

How is this show NOT getting good ratings?!? It's still probably the best show on TV.

 

[housecat]

Well that match was very interesting. Joey come back so hard it was just amazing. I didnt think he would do it.

His loss seemed unreal because he really did not lose, per se. He totally deserved a 5th round, he could have won easy he had the heart that Manfredo does not have.

I'm all for either Manfredo and whoever wins the Jesse/Tony fight to take it. Even tho I took my support out from underneath Jesse and Tony, I wont want to watch the show if I dont have someone in the running still!

I hope Manfredo takes it all though, but I think Joey would have beat him had they had a 5th round.
But Alfonso/Sergio would give him trouble, there is WAY too much heart coming out of Alfonso.

Oh, and Peters dad is a moron. He needs to shutup. Thank God Peter didnt take after his dad. His dad is a punk, you can just tell he'd get knocked out in 15 seconds in a ring.. he reminds me of some guys I've gotten into fights with at the bar.

Did anyone notice how Tony was looking at his dad in the middle of rounds? It was the "shutup you are an idiot" look.

Peters dad even said "I need this round" to Peter Jr. before round 5! LOL

Needless to say, Joey the "college fighter" was no joke and definitely can go toe-to-toe with any of those guys.. I hope he does not quit. But he'll prob go back to work as he has alot more going for him than most fighters.

HEY xEDIT409 come back!
Dont yell a slur at me and go hide, back up your crappy prediction.

What? WHAT?! Yeah thats right he got knocked the FK OUT JUST LIKE I SAID. In your face you ass. Seriously, calling me a racist, you coward.

But you were dead wrong in your boy Bonsante. That was HILARIOUS!
He flopped like a dead fish on that mat. And his kids got to see him get knocked out too.
