I always found that "#1 Dad" hat arrogant. It's like, what, you saying you are a better dad then me!? (Even though Im not a dad) But anyways. I read the rbr and heard he walked into honkey tonk music. I was hoping he would get KTFO and figured if anything Duddy has some power.
For the record I don't see Duddy making it either. That was apparent to me when he fought Alfredo Cuevas. He won, but showed major flaws, up until that fight i thought he looked good. His greatest asset, his power, is there but still im surprised that that Brinkley guy could KO Bonsante and Duddy couldn't. Bad sign.
You've got the guy all wrong believe me, he isn't arrogant in the slightest. On the Contender all of the other 'stars' were talking about using the show to higlight their talent, like they were going to be the next superstar.
Bonsante was on the show purely to get a decent life for his kids. That was all that mattered to him, he kept going on about how it was his one shot.
The poor guy broke down at least once every episode and has cried at every fight I've seen him in. He just puts so much into it. He's also not got the funds to even train properly.
When he fought Ishe Smith post Contender he was being trained by a guy in his nineties who was too sickly to make it ringside, so his trainer was in the stands communicating via walkie talkie, and I'm being totally serious!
In the Duddy fight Bonsante didn't have a cutman, he couldn't afford one so his trainer had to work on the cut.
Bonsante is a legend in my book, my favourite underdog fighter.
