I know the Contender has gotten a lot of sh*t in the past for being too sentimental...but I have to say, that seen with Jaidon really had me feeling for him. That's rough news, and I give it up to him for staying in the tournament. also, I give it up to Ray for being a decent and kind mentor. Having a legend console you like that, I'm sure it really helped Jaidon out, for real.
so Sam Soliman still has his spot alive for now?
cuz I was just doing a lil adding up and
Soliman won by 12 points vs Alexander
Johnsen just won by 11.
obviously winning by more points is better.. cuz the best you could do is getting 3 sraight shutouts .. and that would be a margin of 15 points.
but i remember someone on here saying Bika made the finals ... dunno if its true though.
For whatever reason, they only have 10 fighters this year. Im cool with that, cuase it's 6 less sh*tty fighters we'd have to see. If there are 6 less worthy than those two last night, Im cool with it. So, with only 10 fighters, you hve to get it down to 5 somehow. I lik it actually...encourages a KO.
i hope those were predictions oppose to actual results.
cuz the contender results were leaked out on here.
isn't it kinda bullshit about the point system?
cuz Sam Soliman is pretty much fucked. he knocked max alexander down .. but Wayne Johnsen's gonna be ranked higher in the rankings cuz of getting a shutout on 2 judges scorecards? boo
Bika vs McCrary (Bika UD)
Smith vs Banks (Smith by Stoppage)
thats interesting.
that means that bika doesnt make the final four unless he wins by more than 11 points since the winner today had 2 sweeps.
Damn...I cant stand the Ultimate Fighter. now..I hate MMA, so that has something to do with it. But The Contender seems like real guys, and I like the quality of the guys better. Ultimate Fighter seems like a bunch of real young dudes, most of them acting really stupid.
Wayne Johnson is from North Jersey and I had the pleasure of Ring Announcing several of his bouts.
Also, I met and introduced Howard Davis Jr., the boxer that Sugar Ray was talking about, many times. Several years ago he wanted me to get all his Olympic Teammates at a big affair and honor all of them. It never came off but Howard was a Class guy.
I thought they were pretty respectful about it. I have to say, I really like the way SRL handled it. You could really tell he felt for the kid, in relating to him that story.
His dad apparently "COMMITED SUICIDE"
...but isnt that what they would say if ESPN had really put a hit on Codringtons dad to make the show more interesting??
hmmmm, gotta think about these things.
actually i probably shouldnt even be jokin about this, Codringtons gonna win this thing!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love listening to the hyped crowd during the match while everybody is sitting on their hands and not even applauding for the large majority. It makes me giggle. Good production idea but they might want to consider blurring the background. They've been doing it since season 1 back on ABC thogh. Or was it CBS? Whatever.
couple of fun rounds right there. Wayne is smoking him, but Miguel got a couple of decent shots in. Line of the night...."Stop looking at Ray Leonard!"
