Miguel Espino, the forgotten contender

[Southpaw16]

This guy barely got any air time on the show, I think he will go farther than the rest of the contestants.

He is only 26 years old. He lost to Manfredo by only one point on all of the judges score cards, in only his 12th fight, when it was Manfredo's 23rd fight. His last fight before the show, he lost a close majority decision to Daniel Edouard. Since the show he has won three in a row, including a 5th round TKO of Jonathan Reid, and unanimous decision wins over Gabriel Holguin and Dorian Beaupierre, both considered solid pros with good winning records.

I think that he was one of the top 5 fighters on the show, and he has somehow completely fallen under the radar compared to the other guys.

oh well they are all garbage except ishe smith

espino wont amount to much
neither will the others

[Southpaw16]

LOL, thats exactly what I'm saying!!!!!

He has somehow not been able to gain any recognition from the show when he was one of the best guys there!!

100% true, Peter Manfredo has a slight chance.. but it pains me to say that.
The Latin Joke won't go far at all.

i think peter manfredo can go somewhere and fast. He is progressively getting better. He went from horrible to decent in just 2 fights. thats fast. i say another 4 fights and hes good. another 6 and hes nearly great. I like the guy a lot. powerful and mobile. Hes going to be good. he's a quick learner and is shaping up into a wonderful fighter. i see good things in his future... but nothing great. ur average professional career.

i would always pick ishe smith to beat him down and ishe is 1-2 weight classes under what manfredo has done

yeah manfredo will get some improvement but i dont think hell amount to a lot
if he does ill be the first to admit i was wrong and ill give him his due props

i didnt give lacy a lot of credit for destroying pemberton so im sure not gonna do it for manfredo either who just ate up lacys sloppy seconds

Miguel Espino looked impressive in his last fight on FNF. I first saw him in 2003, when he threw about 130 punches a round on FSN against no one in particular. Then he lost to Daniel Edouard on Showtime and that was that for Espino.
