Contender UK vs US RESULTS!!!

True....Mora is the greatest contender of all but he will never hold a major title...Not unless he steps his power and chin up... And takes the fight against the champ like he was fucking offered!!! Ridiculous, what did he think he had to lose turning Taylor down. He's scared.

Small should step up to fight the true contender champ! :boxing: True....Mora is the greatest contender of all but he will never hold a major title...Not unless he steps his power and chin up...

W. Wright just can't get it together...He all the tool but h always ends up on he short side of the stick...

i was wondering how long it would take u lot to turn it into another race hate thread Its not actually racisim but Xenophobia (is a pathological fear or hatred of foreigners) countrys like Usa and France are well know as xenophobic. Contests like the contendor do nothing but help breed this . I was at the show in newcastle last night and it was pretty shit all the tallent on show was sub par

K-nine takes it up the rear see i can be cocky to lol

Congrats to my man Jerson Ravelo. Jersey!

Just found this report on Frank Warren's website (not written by him): Anthony Small earned the UK their first ever Contender point – but survived a torrid final round at the MetroRadio Arena in Newcastle. Small, 25, had promised all week to spank a yank, but in the eighth against Walter “2 Guns” Wright found himself in big trouble for the first time in his professional career. A fight that had meandered along for seven rounds – the crowd booed the lack of action after the fifth and sixth - suddenly burst into life, and Small, with his face bloodied, looked at one point as if might struggle to survive. Suddenly, the crowd were cheering instead of jeering in what was an utterly compelling three minutes of action. But the best of the action was in the first 90 seconds – Wright had punched himself out in the first minute and a half, and couldn’t nail down a knockout that at one point seemed his for the taking. In the end, the American lost a split decision, 77-76 in his favour but 77-75 and 78-74 to Small. It gave the UK a 1-0 lead in their race for the Sugar Ray Leonard Cup. Ironically it was American judge, Jack Reiss, who gave Small the biggest margin of victory. Wright looked furious at the decision, which was greeted by cheers from the partisan home crowd, but only had himself to blame. He allowed Small to set the pace in the opening rounds, his greater hand speed and movement serving to confuse the American. Yet in the eighth Wright, 26, decided to go for broke, nailing Small early on and forcing blood to pour from his nose. As Small reeled across the ring, Wright went after him, but couldn’t find the knockout punch. Small, badly hurt, came firing back, and by the end of the round both boxers had fought themselves to a standstill. There may have been a question mark over the fitness of Wright – who was heavily fancied to win the second Contender series - although he looked in tremendous shape. Perhaps the pressure got to him as it had in Contender, when he lost to Cornelius Bunderage, but whatever the reason for his lack of ambition, he now has a third loss on his record against 13 wins. Small moves to 17-0, and despite his tricky eighth, this will go down as the best win of his career. thanks thats a real shame wright couldnt finish him he now has an unimpressiv e13-3 record evern though hes much better

what was the score then like?

i was wondering how long it would take u lot to turn it into another race hate thread im wondering where the fuck you got the race idea from nobody is talking about black and white that just shows that you are too focused on race See. I can make poems, too.

Spank a Yank, Hank. Lacy killed Reid with a left, Jeff.

Let me tell you something. Henry (not Hank, as you put it) Wharton had a classic affliction of step-up syndrome. Everytime he stepped up to a top-level fighter, he was handled. Story of that mans life. Eubank was looking splendid in '94. I don't know what you're going on about. Spank a Yank, Hank.

Who the fuck is this clown? Most expected Wharton to beat Eubank, who looked shot to pieces in getting gifts against Amaral and Schommer (and also looked rubbish against Close and Storey that year). No single pundit predicted Eubank would win if it went 12. Personally I think Wharton was at his best in about '91, when he was punching guys clean out of the ring and Nigel Benn wanted nothing to do with him (when challenged on who was the most exciting puncher in Britain).

Nobody gave Reid much chance, though. Like they never gave him a chance against Nardiello either.

That's absolute crap, sir. And Eubank that year would have beaten anyone. Brilliant, he was. Who the fuck is this clown?

Wharton was well past his prime when he lost to Reid. He fought Eubank when he was in his prime and did surprisingly well, though. He was expected to beat Eubank.

Most definately, he's the most underrated super middleweight of the 1990's, am I right or am I right, Geoff? Most would say he was the most over-rated, but he just froze against Benn and Eubank on that night would of beaten anybody.
