Ebo Elder

[Chris46]

I know its old news but im just watching the Contender series 2 here and seen him get taken away in an ambulance to get a CAT scan, was he ok?

[The Raging Bull]

Yep, he's fine now. I've spoken to him a few times since the Contender series 2 was aired over here and he said it was mainly precautionary taking him to hospital.

Ebo Elder looks like the result of many generations of inbreeding. And he claims to be a Christian, but makes his living doing something Jeebus would abhor.

[Chris46]

/\ o rite. Hes a Born again Christian, hes trying isnt he?? Thats all that matters!

[infestacide]

i thought he had down syndrome when i first saw him

[Phantasm]

He's one of the nicest fighters I've met. Met him right before his fight against Oscar Diaz.

[SnoopySmurf]

Anyone see him fight with that Mongolian boxer? He was doing GREAT in the first 2 or 3 rounds....and took a beat down for the rest of the fight. I thought for sure he lost all his brain cells after that fight.

EDIT - the fighter is Lakva Sim

Ebo should never fight again, if I were to name the top 3 or 4 fighters at the most risk today Ebo would be right up there, him and Courtney Burton should not be allowed to fight.

Ebo Elder retires!
28-year-old "Contender" series star Ebo Elder (22-3) has decided to hand up his gloves for good according to Times Herald sportswriter Will Blair. Elder is retiring to become an evangelist. "I'm done [with boxing]," Elder is quoted as saying. "It's not easy, but this is God's plan." In his career, Elder had wins over formidable fighters like Oscar Diaz and Courtney Burton, but lost his last two to Lavka Sim in an WBA eliminator and Michael "No Joke" Stewart in a first round bout of The Contender: Season Two.

Very sound decision on Ebo and companies part!

I hope Courtney Burton comes to the same conclusion.
