The Contender Thread (Spoilers)

[GAME]

this is wut i think about both seasons contestnts wifes on a scale of 1 - 10

jesse -1 ant n/a juan n/a sergio 8 ishe 3 ahmed 12 jonathon 4 najai 3 alfonso n/a joey n/a jimmy 9 tarick 5 brent 10 peter 5 jeff n/a miguel n/a

noberto 2 rudy 10 cornelius 2 walter n/a mike n/a nick 5 steve 9 ebo 9 mike s 7 aaron n/a gary 8 grady 4 vinroy -1 andre n/a jeff n/a freddy 2

vinroys wife was jus plain out beat but jesses last year ws a big ho and it seemed like all she cared about was the 1000000 bucks

I think you are rating Jesse's wife a little to highly, I mean -1 is only 13 away from Ahmeds girlfriend, should be - 12 imo.

I kinda fancied Manfredo's bird Yamilka, I thought she was cute, and a loving wife. Glad to see that sometimes the ugly goofball can land the girl.

Tarick's girlfriend unless I'm much mistaking performed in Latino Hookers 3

This seasons best wife has to be Gary Balleto's, would love to that!

I heard Ebo's wife is also his sister so a few points should be deducted there.

I think Forbes wife is pretty fit . I also think hes head and shoulders above everyone else in there

Is it just me or are all the other boxers ( including 1st series ) a league or two below Forbes ? When I heard he was on the show I thought he was abit too established to be messing around on 5 rounders. Taking instruction form guys like Jeremy Williams and the Latin Snake is an embarrassment cuz he is far superior to them in every way .

Whenever hes in the house playing pool or whatever he doesnt big himself up , he almost seems embarrassed to be part of it . Nobody wanted to fight him and you can understand why . That showboating right uppercut he landed was pure class and its obvious hes got talent to waste cuz hes got that PBF , Toney type shoulder roll . I reckon he should win this but if he loses it'l be cuz they rob him on points against some limited slugger who just keeps on walking forward

I agree Forbes is different class skill-wise. However he was a world champ at super featherweight so don't know how he will do against a real big welterweight like Baletto.

He's a great fighter though, brilliant fun to watch.

yea i agree forbes should win the contender. the only way i see him losing is if he gets caught really hard. balleto would probably be his toughest fight left

Yep Forbes is the best fighter the show has ever had. He's just a lot smaller than the rest of the guys. Doesn't seem to have bothered him yet though. But he shouldn't be fightin at welterweight. He shouldn't be embarassed about the show, if he wins he will get way more fame and fortune than he has ever gotten before.

Brewer is pretty good too.

If he was embarrased about the show he wouldn't have signed up for it!

He is not ashamed of going on the show. He made a smart move.
He even started making his own website.

Where is the shame in joining a tournament for 1/2 a million dollars, exposure, sponsors, a new truck for the winner, and God knows what more he gets? I say if you are good, do it and move on with your career. If you suck, don't box (PERIOD) regardless of the format.

it said he won UD

I don't know if any of you have the inside scoop but I saw Walter Wright this weekend and he said he will be fighting at the Staples center. He said the show takes a turn and something unexpected happens. So this means someone got hurt? Someone with the spoilers tell us Walter wouldn't lead on

sum1 probably gets their jaw smashed. i saw the commercial 2 it nd bravo looks like hes gonna get clocked wit the hardest shot ever.

Gary balletto is on an undercard for the Manfredo spina fight against alfonzo gomez. So, i wonder what happens

Was @ my barbershop this weekend(Quido's on Killingly St, In Johnston) and Balletto goes there to get his hair cut. He told 2 of the barbers that he looses this week to Bravo. They didnt get int specifics but he said he was,"fighting well and then screwed up" whatever he means by that, he loses this week

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

http://www.secondsout.com/USA/colhau...s=208&cs=17212

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.
