    Exactly. Just a bunch of people that lost in the contender fighting up and coming prosperous Brit fighters.

        Robin Reid has been added to the British team. He'll fight Jesse Brinkley in what could be a real mismatch if Reid still has anything left.


        Two fighters (one on each side) are still to be announced. Nigel Wright and Cornelius Bundrage still don't have opponents.


        Minter, Small and Smith all look rather confident.

          Don't know much about "Brinkley", but adding Robin to the team is a real step away from the entire concept of The Contender. Because let's face it, despite being called "Contenders", they're really not, are they? Whereas Reid was - and maybe still is - world class.

            Well, they had Steve Forbes in the last series of the Contender, and he was an IBF Champion who may well still be world class.


            Robin Reid is still by far the most accomplished boxer on the bill though. Maybe he just isn't earning enough making **** and wanted some more cash?

              Small and Minter are future world champions in my opinion. Is this going to be like a televised series or just an event thing?

                Reid will crush the oh so average Brinkley and score a win for the Britts!

                  this is pretty much the case.

                    Updated line-up...still don't know who Nigel Wright is going to be fighting.

                    Middleweight Anthony Small v Walter Wright
                    Middleweight Paul Smith v Jonathan Reid
                    Welterweight Ross Minter v Freddy Curiel
                    Light Middleweight Colin McNeil v Cornelius Bundrage
                    Middleweight Martin Concepcion v Alfonso Gomez
                    Middleweight Paul Buchanan v Jerson Ravelo
                    Super Middleweight Robin Reid v Jesse Brinkley

                    Light Welterweight Nigel Wright v ?


                    Now, if these are all 8-rounders and theres going to be a one-hour show for each match-up, do you think they'll show the whole rounds or highlights?
