Re: Contender Pick-em
My pick would also be Sam Soliman, he's got that unorthodox style and throws punches non-stop. In 5 round fights, its going to be tougher for the other boxers to adapt to his style.
Did you miss one of the fighters Killer? There's only 9 listed.

Got your pick entered for some reason Buchanan wasn't listed on ESPN's site, must be because of his nick name, "Sugar Poo"

Re: Contender Pick-em
Being the patriot, optimist and scouser that I am, I choose Paul Smith.

Sam Soliman.
With his active punching style he is sure to rack up rounds based on activity and with only 5 rounds it will be hard for other boxers to wear him down.
-
Re: Contender Pick-em *MAY HAVE SPOILERS*
It was a toss up between Bika and Soliman but after thinking about it for a minute. Then after thinking about it Swice made me realize that they are only fighting 5 rounds. With the style Soliman has it will take them at least 3 rounds to figure out the angle his punches are coming from.
I pick Soliman

Re: Contender Pick-em *MAY HAVE SPOILERS*
Man this is a tough one. I've got it between Bika, Soliman and Paul Smith. Bika is a real tough guy who works the body well ad makes fights ugly, Soliman is a slick boxer and Paul Smith looks like a very good brawler. I guess im gonna pick Soliman because a good technical boxer usually causes lot of problems to aggresive fighters.
-
Re: Contender Pick-em *MAY HAVE SPOILERS*
I already had Wayne Johnson picked since about 2 weeks ago in another pool.
I will say this, there are a lot of knock outs in this season.
And the best thing is....
ESPN will be showing all the fights after the episode.
Yeehaa!
-
Re: Contender Pick-em *MAY HAVE SPOILERS*
Put me down for Sakio Bika to go all the way.

You must be thinking of a different guy man.. Soliman is about as unslick as they come. And has about as much technical skill as I do.

exactly he's won seven since, one loss doesn't ruin a career, for most that is the only thing they know about him

Re: Contender Pick-em *MAY HAVE SPOILERS*
Who said banks could win, come on, 2 Ko's in 17 fights and Mora knocked him down sparring. Please I don't pretend to know who will win but Banks won't.

Re: Contender Pick-em *MAY HAVE SPOILERS*
Also not sure if you guys know this or not but one of bikas losses is actually a md to sam soliman ;)

Re: Contender Pick-em *MAY HAVE SPOILERS*
Well I think this is already established.
Jaidon needs to turn up his game and he for some reason mentioned the Allan Green loss so I am thinking that it is still bringing him some doubts and those he can not have once he gets towards the later part of the show and has to face guys like Bika, Smith, Soliman or they will eat him alive and show him what the big time is like.
Sam Soliman is the best conditioned guy out there and can push his opponent to the max for all 5 rounds
Most of all I think that The Contender is actually making itself past a reality TV show and becoming a legit tourney. We have some world class names this year and last year we had a former world champion
I think the thing we need to most understand is that Sergio Mora is the most annoying fellow on any reality show ever including the surreal life or survivor. He actually believes he is world class and is able to judge these guys. Biko, Soliman, Smith and even Jaidon school him
