Ishe Smith

you have to remember in the contender they only fought 5 rounds,how often can things change over 12 rounds,they cant keep going hammer and tong like they did for 5 rounds over 12 rounds.

the boxer with the most potential in the contender was the babyface dude followed by that gomez guy.

Come on Adam mate from what you saw of Ishe Smith, you really think he could make it, id love to see Hatton tear him apart!!

I thought Ishe was the best by a long way. He got robbed in the Mora fight. 2 judges went for Ishe the other had it 5-0 to Sergio so he got the decision. Even Tommy Gallagher said afterwards that Sergio couldn't have come out for another round.

Ishe will fight for a world title within 18 months, he's a class act. He danced rings around David Estrada before the Contender show and I thought he looked sharp in the Contender, picking Ahmad apart.

Alfonso is a tough guy as well, I like him.

interesting regarding ishes smith and a world title shot,hes a good boxer but will need to improve more to become really top class.

i dont like sergio mora and manfredo,im still trying to think how they were the final 2,they werent even the best boxers.

Ishe and Manfredo had already won minor titles before the Contender show. I think Ishe will be world class in the next 2 years, but Manfredo will depend on what weight class he decides to take on. I think that Manfredo will be better off at a lower weight class like 154.

Alfonso Gomez was my favorite, I liked his attitude. But Gomez belongs down at Jr WW or WW.

I agree, I just hate the attitude we have no days about being undefeated being something so special.
