    The Anthony guy in the Contender...

    ... I've just seen the episode where he turned down a fight and all the others turned on him. But why did he do it? I missed the first twenty minutes.

    its because he didnt want to be pressured into fighting someone that he didnt want to. he said from the begining of the episdoe that he would fight that cooper guy and he told everyone else to try hard in the challenge so he could pick lange but that was a lie so that he could pick cooper

      lol and he chose to fight a bum that lost to reggie strickland and couldn't avenge it, in the rematch got a draw! thats soooo bad

      It was a smart thing from Basante, he's gonna have to fight some tough people sooner or later, but why fight tough guys from the beginning and get injuries etc. and not be able to contine?
      Juan De La Rosa fought a tough man in Tarick, then he injured his neck, and hands and got a cut, Anthony just beat up a bum and gets more money lol

      I dunno what they all bitchin about...it's boxing, u gotta be ready for anyone, not one guy.....ANYONE!

        So he overrode (who?) and went for an easy option? That sucks.

          Bonsante sucks, and he knows it, so he lied to his team-mates, chose the softest fighter in the competition, and whupped the guy...Bonsante knows that the 1st punch he eats from Ishe or Manfredo or Mora will put him in a coma, so he needs to make a little more scratch for his kiddies so that they'll put that bogus "#1 daddy" hat on his shrivelled carcass of a head in the hospital

              Do you not follow the game very closely?

              Because it seems that if you did, that you'd be aware that Anthony Bonsante already fought Peter Manfredo last year & that the fight went the full 12 rounds. So, it was hardly a case of him being "put into a coma" by the first solid punch he got hit with from a good fighter. FAR from it.
              Bonsante may not be a world beater, but he's a good, solid, experienced pro who's got a very respectable record against decent opposition. Sure, many of the names on his record are the usual "also rans" from the mid-west circuit, but he's also mixed with better company as well with fair results. He dropped a decision to Kingsley Ikeke, then drew with unbeaten olympian Rioshi Wells. He dropped a close one to the much more experienced two time world title challenger Tocker Pudwill, but rebounded by knocking out the aged, but still hard hitting & tough Tony Ayala Jr.. Following that he took Manfredo 12.
              So, though you may not think much of him & he may not go on to win it all, there's NO WAY that Ishe, Manfredo or Mora knocks him out. Much less with one shot.

                I can't fault Bonsante. he's putting food on the table for his kids and at turned 30 his years are limited. If you get paid for each fight hell i'd pick the softest ****er there every time and maximise my earnings. Ishe has got some brass balls toi criticise Bonsante after he cried like a ***** because he didn't want to fight Ahmed but found himself backed into it. At least Bonsante had the balls to stick with his game when it all came out.

                Lol

                  Anthony's was a ***** imo the way he chose his fight and gave that one sided beating to the other guy. He was winning every round yet it looked like he was trying to murder the man he knew couldn't beat him. I cannot wait for Ishe to stomp his cowardly hide into the canvas!

                  And I hate that entire "working man supporting my family" act he plays for sympathy. Give me a ****ing break! The guy works at a Walmart...what do you expect? Go back to school, get an education, and get a better job. Ishe ought to toss out a handful of foodstamps in the ring just to distract him for an easy KO!

                  I can't wait to see who they bring back to replace Juan. I hope it's Ahmed for some more drama with Ishe and not to mention those two were clearly the top fighters so far along with Peter. It'll especially be great to see Anthony get beat down and back at Walmart again!

                    yeah i agree with this all the contenders seem to have the same story "working man supporting my family" it would be nice change to have someone more real, i want to make a load of cash for my own selfish needs
