Contender Balletto Fight - Spoliers

[The Promoter]

Ok, let's not turn this into a children bashing thread. Let us stick to the real issue and just add that Belletto sucked.

"I don't want to play this game anymore"
Gary Balletto after losing to Norberto Bravo.

It was not a game son! This was for reals. Go back to baking cookies or whatever it is you did.

Not kid bashing, I grew up in a crap neighborhood and know what it takes to get out, just some advice....as far as Balletto not fighting well you are very right, He was just overmatched...sadly I think the only fighters that can/could give Steve Forbes a run have been eliminated....

I'm not sure I think both Grady and Bravo have a chance to spring a suprise.

Personally I'm really happy with the final four, pretty much the most deserving guys have got through.

I'd be happy to see Forbes, Grady Brewer or Bravo win this to be honest, they all deserve it.

K9 is ok but should have lost the last fight, amazed he didn't have any points docked or even get disqualified, he was warned more than enough time.

Pride of boston, You know gary personally?

I wouldn't say that...  I saw him @ stop and shop on atwood ave once and in the barber shop...  thats about it. He's friends with one of the barbers. He said he screwed up @ the end of the fight but didn't elaberate on how. Now I know he just ran out of steam. So no I don't know him personally although he seems very nice.

It is called respect. We may not matter to you. Do you think you are better than us/them?
Who are you? Who have you beat?

That is what I thought.

The people in/of the UK have as much right as anyone else on this forum and so do the Contender fans. Why can't you respect that?

I was disappointed for Gary as I quite liked him, but he has a good job and imo the hottest wife on the show so it's not the end of the world for him.

Fair play to Bravo he fights like he will go through fire to win this thing. I really like him just wish they would edit out his annoying kids, especially they youngest one.

He's about 10 and I find it disrespectful when he starts yelling to his dad, 'Come on Bravo, you got this baby! Come on baby it's in the bag yeah!'.

If I was Bravo I'd wash his mouth out with soap and say to him, 'Son I'm your F****** Dad, stop calling me Baby!'

:P

Yeah me too...I thought Balletto was a genuinly nice guy...Seemed real humble....Him and Steve Forbes seemed as though they were becoming good friends.....This show whould be much better if hey would stop Fing with the fight scenes and Take out Mora next to Leonard....It annoys me the way Mora acts like he is a legendary fighter and they portray him that way....He acts as though at times he is some kind of role model on what these guys can hope to be someday....Mora hasn't accomplished half of what Forbes has in the ring..Nor is he the same caliber of fighter...

DEFINITELY - the way he constantly nudges Leonard and tells him what's happening in the fight ("Nick's psyched... Great round for Steve!") when Leonard has this pained, "shut up Sergio" look on his face is distressing to watch, like someone trying desperately to impress someone who will always look down on them.

I personally thought Acevedo and Cisneros would have done much better had the schedule been alittle better for them...Cisneros came into the show a bit heavy and still came very close to beating Bravo afer draining himself so severely...Acevedo has ridiculous skills but for a 32 yrs old to fight back to back tough fights after a 2 year layoff is rough and he still came very close to stopping Forbes but just ran out of gas...guys who were avoided early in the first round got penalized by having to fight tougher opposition and have less rest than guys who picked easier(supposedly) fights early...with that said fights like the Ebo/Stewart fight were shocking so I guess either way we are getting some very exciting action...

I can see why they put Mora next to Sugar Ray Leonard. Although it is kindy of cheesy, Mora is the original Contender. But, I can't see why they would put Peter up there next to Sugar? Peter lost and was sent packing on the very first night. They should never even show his face on that show unless people like looking at a sore loser.

They're doing it for the Latin audience and market nothing else, hell Alfonso Gomez is getting significantly more play than Peter Manfredo and he is far less of a fighter than Manfredo, it's all about marketing...It's is absolutely nauseating watching Mora acting as though he's some sort of legend...

Alfonso is getting all the hype cus he took out Manfredo in the first fight
But why in the world would they show this ugly MOFO?

Talk about nauseating? Can we say YUK mouth all mighty? And who cuts his hair, Bruno the butcher? LOL
I can't stand seeing him or his father on the show. Like if his dad was a great trainer or something. LMAO! Fired by his son and replaced with a Roach.
wwweeeeeeehhheeeeeeeeeeheeeeeeeee!
