The Contender - Latest info ((Spoiler))

Im still upset after watching the episode last night, that Juan decided to leave. He was my favorite kid on the show and he ended up leaving because he was scared of his injuries. I really wanted him in perfect shape for the next round so he can kick the next persons ass. And they said while he was training..he was the"real deal" but after his match, he wasnt. I mean cmon, he was so frustrated and had such a bad boxing night and he still kicked tarricks ass.. and people judge him on a one night box. Hes still the best in my mind..but i got to watch the show without him now :(

And more great news!! Ahmed is coming back! If you watched the preview of the next episode..ahmed is back. I dont understand why they would bring him back. I thought all those men were "lets bring the toughest guys in here." So why didnt they bring back Johnathon Reid? The best one out of the eliminated. Ahmed wasnt the worst one either...so i dont see why they would choose him to come back, but i really hate him. But it will be interesting..i hope he boxes sergio and kicks his ass because i hate sergio super bad and to be beat by ahmed..that would suck. But a 2 fight episode of the elite eight next sunday! so excited!Â

I definately agree with you. How are they going to say that they thought he was the real deal watching him spar and they found out he wasn't from watching one fight? He beat his man down, that's what counts. And by talking trash about him they're showing they can't make up their mind.

Yea man for real. And that sergio guy was like..him and joey would be a good match, but joey would knock him out. I was like WHAT!?!?!? lol juan would kick his ass. But what pissed me off was that Juan said that he would lose the second round and his injury came at the right time or something..i was pissed he didnt have confidence and he left for partly for a good record and for his future. i really liked the kid..just seeing him smile and kid around on every episode.. O0

when they announce the doble headder on sunday the presented clips of pther fights and I saw Ames( piece of SH!T) just hate the guy. KO someone.

Yeah I think Ahmed is coming back, when they said, " We are gonna throw a wrench in it". That meant Ahmed is coming back and Delarosa is smart because he knew he was gonna end up losing, why give up a loss when you can walk away clean and having beaten a formidable opponent.

Yea..if he was fresh he would win tho.. poor kid.

Maybe ^-^ he was a loose cannon-- he didnt know how to control his punches, kinda like a young Tito, still I see him becoming a world beater in a few years.

He is a younger version of Iron Mike..he just goes out there and punches crazy..except he doesnt have enough strength yet like Mike had..by the time he was mikes age in mikes prime..he will be as strong and be as good as Iron Mike.

When and how and what the fluck are you on about ...... like a younger version of Tyson, are you for real ??? did you watch his performance, no defence throwing wild punches and if that other fella who he fought had a ounce of stamina or skill he would of picked him off to death !!

Tyson throwing wild punches ??? you obviously aint watched Tyson much have you. Tyson had more control and skill in his bellend when he was 14 than this kid has now at 18.

christ some people don't half talk alot of shite !!

You guyz are idiots he fought like a friggin amateur just as sugar ray leonard said also throughout the whole fight he left himself open for punches, had no defence and was very easy to hit, he was very lucky he was fighting Tarick who is not a power puncher as he had only 4 knockouts in his career also it was his first fight back in 3 yrs and still tarick hurt him like 2wice in da fight. and as De la rosa was leaving if you would have paid attention de la rosa admitted that if he would have stayed in the tournament he would have lost and that his undefeated record means a lot him. the injury angle was just an excuse for him to pull out. Joey fought Jimmy lange with a hurt leg and he was the underdog. To me De la rosa might have the skills but not the right attitude to be considered a contender.

Ahmed might be someone people love to hate but he brings drama to the fight and nothing makes boxing more exciting than drama. People hated Naseem but they would still watch him just to see what stunt would he pull off in hisnext fight.

O.K. so the young Tyson was a stretch , but Rocky. Tsk Tsk , all in all what everyone is trying to say is he has a lot of potential. Before the show even started I took a liking to the kid and followed the show mainly for him and Ishe.

Chamiley He's also 18 and pretty much skipped his amatuer career. So just as normal 18's year old He's still Learning the sport . 13-0 and 18yo that means he turned pro before 18, So he is entitled to mistakes just as he's entitled to bad decisions he's a kid.

A KID WITH A BRIGHT FUTURE

Alright, anybody with a dream listen!

Juan made the worst choice of his career!!! Â He said he wanted to watch out for his future and pull out and let his wounds heal.

HIS FUTURE WAS RIGHT THERE!!! Absolutely no other boxers get that kind of Prime Time Coverage!!! Â Champions don't get that coverage!!! Â And here he says he wants to watch out for his future!

At first I thought Juan had a heart, chin, and devotion. Â He lacked a jab, which translates in boxing as lacking skills overall. Â Yet he pulled off a win with his heart and devotion. Â But after he quit, I don't think he has that much heart anymore. Â With boxing, you gotta be in it and stay with it, especially when you've got millions of people watching you every week.

He's 18, the fact of the matter is he had a career before and he'll have a career after. Teens make bad decisions but they're young, he's still undefeated he had the same 15 mins of fame as everyone on there except for whoever the winner is going to bee. The fact that you're even responding to this post prove's that. He'll be A-OK

[attachment deleted by admin]

Boxuout, I know your a thoughtful person. (Reference to the Ali Post)

But this kid made a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE decision.

Juan de la who? heheh

Eighteen eh? There's hundreds of eighteen year old prospects, from ALL around the world.

Chances are, he's going to amount to nothing. That's what's probably going to happen. Winning on 'The Contender' is more powerful than winning a championship belt. :o Yeah I said it! It doesn't mean much in the real world of boxing, but to average jane and joe, it means a lot. Heheh, to be honest I wasn't impressed with him and I've seen so many records go down the drain from so many boxers that I know he's probably never going to get another shot at something so public.
