He's ok, big puncher but little skill.

I hope he stays in for a while though because his wife is smokin 8)

true that... he has very little skill... I have never seen someone wing so many punches that dont connect and win a fight... love seeing the hometown boy. No skill whatsoever.... oh well. brawler, exiting type, though ;)

I don't think so, it looked like the guy he was fighting was outboxing him when he decided to fight and not mess around. He will be outboxed badly one day unfortunately

true :coolclick:

but his record needs to be improved from my original post to 30-2-2 25 by KO

He is strong as an ox, but with limited skills; his nose has been broken more than once and, yes, his wife is easy on the eyes. This young man is not dumb, but should learn how to box or quit. The big timers will all take their toll on his gray matter; you are right, he is a "warrior."


I hope he stays in for a while though because his wife is smokin 8)

I thought he lost...and felt cheated enough to lie to anyone who would listen and say I'm not watching another episode.

I hate it...honestly, I tried to give it another go...but they all cry too much. I'm a sensitive guy & all & I have a 2 year old baby girl & wife that means teh world to me...but these Nancy's cry more than a Mexican Soap Star.

Fwock this mess.

I'm gonna watch the Contender to the end I don't care what anyone says. I started watching it so I'll finish

:coolclick: I feel you. My brother loves it...I on the other hand think that it is a joke.

Just a difference of opnion & if it does good for boxing...so I guess that's all right.

You may consider it a joke but remember that without the editing that these guys actually fought in that ring and risked their lives ok? Don't consider anything boxing a joke, because those are real fights, regardless of the editing its real feuds and real fights there's nothing fake about it.

Balletto is garbage. He makes Mayorga look like a skilled boxer

If Tackie can make Hatton look like Arguello and Whitaker put into one. Then Balleto can look like a skilled boxer if given the right opponent ;)
