The Contender Thread (Spoilers)

[SigmaMu]

I read a few articles by Thomas Hauser on the first series of the Contender:

Just makes me wonder if what you see on the screen isn't exactly what goes down. I wouldn't be surprised if Forbes ends up getting robbed because it's a better story for one of the more up-and-coming fighters on there to beat him against the odds. The show does have promotional rights to them once it's all done, after all.

That may just be a conspiracy theory though.

I wouldn't say thats so far off the mark...
In the second Mora Manfredo meeting there were a few bad dec. on that card... Blansate beat up on Brinkley and Jesse got the dec. Manfredo also outboxed Mora and Mora got the dec. It was like the winners were predetermined... As much of a Manfredo fan as I am, he lost the first one but this one he won........Anthony deff got the worst of the calls though. How Brinkley got the nod is beyond me. The Mora fight was closer but Peter pulled it out only to get decnd

Well, so much for your conspiracy theory.

If Pride knew what to look for in a fight, he would see that Brinkley won.
If Pride was not a huge Manfredo fan, he would know that Manfredo did not do enough in that last fight to get the decision.

That was some of the worst biased commentary by Teddy, Joe and Tommy. All 3 of them were cheering for Manfredo. It was so damn obvious, it was pathetic.

And now we are down to the finals at staples center.

Forbes vs Brewer
Bravo vs Bundrage.

I personaly do no like Bundrage's style. It's emberassing to watch. At least he does not think he is all that cus that would be a joke and a whole.

I wonder what weight class we will have for the next season?
Many people have been asking for a heavy weight contender tournament. I am not into the heavy weights but this could just spark my interest again.

Peace.
