Contender Season 3

[Easy-E]

Good talent pool of supermiddleweights here.
Looks like were in for a good season.

• Max Alexander (26, Camden, N.J., 14-1, 2 KOs).
• David Banks (24, Portland, Ore., 14-2-1, 2 KOs).
• Sakio Bika (28, Sydney, Australia, via Cameroon, 22-3-2, 14 KOs).
• Henry "Sugar Poo" Buchanan (28, Capital Heights, Md., 14-1, 11 KOs).
• La Farrell Bunting (27, Las Vegas, 16-3-1, 16 KOs).
• Jaidon Codrington (23, New York, 16-1, 12 KOs).
• Miguel Hernandez (32, Chicago, 20-5, 10 KOs).
• Wayne Johnson (29, Lyndhurst, N.J., 16-1, 9 KOs).
• Donny McCrary (24, St. Joseph, Mo., 23-5-2, 13 KOs).
• Les Ralston (25, Buffalo, N.Y., 16-2, 9 KOs).
• Danny Santiago (34, Ocala, Fla., 29-3-1, 19 KOs).
• Paul Smith (24, Liverpool, England, 20-0, 12 KOs).
• Sam Soliman (33, Melbourne, Australia, 33-9, 13 KOs).
• Brian Vera (26, Austin, Texas, 14-0, 9 KOs).
• Rhoshii Wells (30, Las Vegas, 18-2-2, 10 KOs).
• Rubin Williams (31, Detroit, 29-2-1, 16 KOs).

The fighters this season are, as a whole, more accomplished than they were in the first two seasons. Bika, Soliman, Santiago, Williams and Wells have all fought for world titles. Bika was also a 2000 Olympian for Cameroon and Wells a 1996 U.S. Olympian. Codrington and Smith are notable prospects.

Yea this should be good. AND, they are airing the full fights on ESPN2 the day after each episode. should be fun

[Easy-E]

Jaidon is my pick to win.

[Kball15]

I hope Sam Soliman wins. i like that guy.

[Hitman932]

Jaidon is my pick to win.

you must get a kick out of being wrong

[moy22487]

looks good, but i still think some of these guys are either not ready to be "contendors" or to old.

[oovavu]

i only know a few of the fighters, but being a brit ill be following paul smith i guess, he makes some fine clothes, shame we get it a few months late over here, nice international feel to it tho.

Codrington has skills.
He is a good prospect.

[The Raging Bull]

I'm rooting for Paul Smith in this series.

Born in my hometown and a talented fighter

[Hitman932]

Codrington has skills.
He is a good prospect.

im just breaking balls, hes a good fighter but i cant see him winning it.

i just dont think he is physically strong enough at 168.... when i look at him, if i didnt already know, id think he was a 154lber and 160 at the max

i think he fights at 168 cause its his best chance, the other top young guys at 160 would eat him up imo
