The Contender

Alright, while Contender is on tonight and I'll be watching... I was very dissapointed last week. Peter lost in the first week, then he got a second chance? C'mon... if there was a disqualification they should have brought in a new person instead of having the guys vote someone back in... the legitimacy is kind of blown in my mind. 🙁 That sucks though, because I really liked it up till that part.

who won tonight?

Anthony beat Brent. But everyone's pissed off at Anthony now because he made a deal to say he was gonna fight Jimmy instead then picked the weakest of the last 3 guys just to know he was going to win. Anthony pummeled Brent enough to make them stop the fight 🙁
 
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 personally thought they should have voted Jon Reid back...at least no one voted for Ahmed! :laugh:

I agree with everything you said. East Coast has been getting killed in the competitions, and Brent obviously wasn't the best fighter of the group so even if Anthony would have picked the other guy to fight, Brent would have been eliminated later anyway. I thought Ishe was OK at first, but he's taking the whole anger thing way too far. I almost thought there would be a physical altercation between him and Anthony. I could see them being a little pissed at Anthony at first, but let it go...Gomez did. He's a cool guy.

I found it hilarious when Ja-Rule came in giving them all baller watches and taken them out to a Hollywood club, and Ishe said he wasn't partcipating in the reward earlier in the show. Ishe was all smiling and sh!t, and probably telling himself in the head, "DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT, why did I have to open my big mouth!!!!" HAHAHHAA.

I agree with you with Sergio and Alfonso, but why did you ever not like Manfredo? Ahmed is an ass, but his fiance/gf is freaking hott!!!

As for Bosante, I'm rooting for him to win it.

i'm female, hence why i don't care about his fiance/gf. they can go and be pretty together.

manfredo i think it's more of we ddin't get to know him before he lost on the first episode. his kid is adorable though.

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.
 
Saw this posted on another forum about the Ishe-Sergio fight before it aired:

6) In a very close fight, Ishe has Sergio out on his feet at the bell. Sergio has to be helped back to his corner.

7) In the first split decision, the judges score, two to one, for Sergio.

8) The crowd boos the decision, and everyone seems astonished, including Sergio.

9) The show apparently does NOT hint at the closeness and controversy, and does NOT show Sergio being helped back to his corner. From what I have heard, anyone who watches the fight will not know that it was controversial.

Interesting.
I dont doubt that, as I said.. Ishie/Sergio was so close even from the footage they did show it wasnt even funny.
Closest fight yet. I was rooting for Ishie, a good Christian who represented everything I stand for as a man.

He outfought and crushed Ahmed.
He said he wanted Jessie and Jessie pussed out.

I think Ishie was the strongest in the competition. He got caught on the wrong day, by a very lucky win by Sergio. Esp considering this news.

My man was Ishie all the way. Of all the chumps they brought back, Ishie deserves a second chance the most.
I shouldnt call Manfredo a chump.. that guy has great skills.. he just needs a bit more fire like Alfonzo has.. and it would be no contest.
