• After first-season "Contender" star Peter Manfredo Jr. (31-5, 16 KOs) knocked out third-season participant Donny McCrary in the second round Aug. 22, he called out third-season tournament winner Sakio Bika (26-3-2, 16 KOs). Manfredo is getting his wish. In his hometown of Providence, R.I., Manfredo is slated to face Bika in a super middleweight fight Nov. 13 on Versus, the network that picked up the fourth season of "The Contender." Two other notable fights are also in the works: Jaidon Codrington (18-2, 14 KOs), who hasn't fought since Bika stopped him in the November finale, against New Zealand's Daniel McKinnon (12-3-1, 6 KOs), and ex-super middleweight titleholder Anthony Mundine (33-3, 23 KOs) of Australia in his U.S. debut against former "Contender" participant Miguel Espino (19-2-1, 8 KOs). "That's the card we're trying to finalize," said Tournament of Contenders promoter Jeff Wald, who is working on the show with co-promoter Jimmy Burchfield. "We're excited about this card and our new home on Versus," Wald said.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
Miguel Espino has been padding his record in mexico
and has gotten a pretty high ranking fighting bums.......he did beat one undefeated euro though....still its amazing he would risk his ranking by fighting mundine...
Mundine fighting Miguel Espino would be a weird fight.....i mean WTF....to Miguels credit, hes never been decisevely beaten.....(from what ive read, the Daniel Edouard fight and Manfredo fight were very close), but Mundine is a huge leap in competition...im guessing the winner will get pretty near to a WBC Middleweight title shot....
