    Default Contender Season 4 Fighters announced:

    For those who care. It's an Interesting group. I used to watch the show regularly during it's first 2 seasons, but I'm pretty apathetic towards it now.

    Anyways, the fighters are:
    Mike Alexander (12-2, 8 KOs), Felix Cora Jr. (18-2-2, 9 KOs), Ryan Coyne (9-0, 3 KOs), Ehinomen Ehikhamenor (12-3-0, 7 KOs), Deon Elam (9-0-0, 5 KOs), Alfredo Escalera Jr. (15-1-1, 11 KOs), Tim Flamos (20-4-1, 8 KOs), Richard Gingras (9-1-0, 5 KOs), Joell Godfrey (9-0-1, 5 KOs), Rico Hoye (20-2, 15 KOs), Akinyemi Laleye (10-1, 5 KOs), Troy Ross (17-1, 12 KOs), Jon Schneider (7-2-1, 5 KOs), Lawrence Tauasa (30-5-1, 17 KOs), Erick Vega (8-2-1, 6 KOs) and Darnell Wilson (23-7-3, 20 KOs)

    Oh, and Tony Danza is replacing SRL as host. Yes, Tony Danza.

    I hope Wilson wins it, exciting fighter. He should be good for a few spectacular KO's, going by the competition.

    They really should can this show, the first series was great but it's scraping the bottom of the barrell now.

    The best name they have is Rico Hoye, and who in the world cares about Rico Hoye? He got beat by Clinton Woods and Julio Gonzalez I believe, and fights involving Clinton Woods and Julio Gonzalez are hard enough to sell to the world.

    This program is just awful now, awful fighters, with a lifeless, sanitised script, it's just dull dull dull.

    Sly made the smart move in bailing out after the first series which was great and thus going out on a high.

    Leonard was foolish enough to stick around for a couple more seasons but at least his advisors have taught him to see sense now.

    At least this will be the final season, at least on a proper tv network.

    Season 5 will probably feature Don Omega as host and will air exclusively on youtube.

    LOL


    I don't know what to think of Darnell Wilson being on the show. I love the guy but this seems... desperate. And maybe he is.

    Like BIlbo says, first series was good, then it got much less interesting.

    It's not bad but they were naming guys like Kraj, Bell, Flores and Godfrey before... That got me excited... I seriously know three guys on the list. One being Cora. Two being The Dingaling Man. Three being Hoye...
    Rather disappointing as I was a fan of the show. It's dying a slow death though...

    I think Wilson will bust these guys up if its longer than that 5 round shit....if its 5 round fights in the beginning he can easily get outpointed by most fighters.....Kind of crappy line-up, maybe fighters are afraid if they sign-up for the show they will be slagged off as there has only been 1 guy to actually win a title from the show. Out of all the mediocre fighters, I hope Wilson knocks em all out.
