Contender: UK Vs US

Alexander KO K9

not really near him now do you know him Nope. I've spoke to him a few times on Myspace, thats all.

That is a rather amazing idea really. "The seven fights, featuring prospects including Ross Minter - son of 1980 world middleweight champion Alan Minter - will be screened on ITV and American channel ESPN over a six-week period."

i actually know paul smith Do you live near him? And this is a great idea. Good for British boxing in my opinion and they should put it on ITV where more people can watch it.

Oh ok, still be shit hot tho! Who u got winning UK or US? depends who's matched with who... i think it will be competitive anyway...the american fighters might not look good on paper but they've got loads more experience and have been through the whole 5-round thing before. someone like small looks like hes got the skills but he's untested at domestic level, nevermind world. it'll be entertaining though and if they package the tv series properly it could do wonders for the popularity of the sport in this country and set off some more of warren's boxers on the road to stardom.

pity its not being shown live...i might have to go instead. its probably just going to be seven 5-round fights, so there won't be an overall individual winner..just team UK or team US Oh ok, still be shit hot tho! Who u got winning UK or US?

AWSUM! UK got Small and Wayne so I back them to win! Well Small I think wins the whole thing! K for the info bud! :biggthump pity its not being shown live...i might have to go instead. its probably just going to be seven 5-round fights, so there won't be an overall individual winner..just team UK or team US

I figure Ryan would know since Jerson is in it?

Has anyone heard of this... http://www.frankwarren.tv/drill/News/Articles/2007/02/06/it-s-contender-time.html fighters: Croydon puncher Alexander, 24-3, will be joined by Ross Minter 16-1-1, Paul Smith, 18-0, Anthony Small, 15-0, Paul Buchanan, 8-0-1, Martin Concepcion, 11-3, and Nigel Wright, 17-2. The US team will be familiar to British viewers through the Contender series, and is made up of Alfonso Gomez, 15-3-2, Walter "Two Guns" Wright, 13-2, Grady Brewer, 22-11, Jerson Ravelo, 17-2, Freddy Curiel, 16-6, Cornelius "K9" Bunderage, 25-2, and Miguel Espino, 13-2-1. this could do a lot for the popularity of boxing in the uk...

this sounds awesome. bit unfair tho as the uk team is shit hott and the us team is just shit.

i like this as there are some genuine prospects there on the brit side and they need a good test like this. i think the us team will be favourites though just cos they have experienced boxing at a higher level
