The Contender 4/14/05: Double Episode
 
Don't forget that the Contender tonight is a double episode with 2 elimination fights.

It seems like a lot of ppl don't like Ishe

astrochimp 04-24-05 07:16 PM

Ishe likes Ishe atleast ;)

Dabaomb 04-24-05 07:29 PM

at least some of the fighters are starting to use strategy now.

Although not many like Ishe, he's my favorite. I also like his opponent as well so it'll be sad to see one of them go.

astrochimp 04-24-05 07:32 PM

Sergio's my favorite but it will be a tough match against Ishe.

Dabaomb 04-24-05 07:39 PM

Mel Gibson, William Shatner, and James Caan in the crowd tonight.

I think that Mel & Caan have been at every fight.

Dabaomb 04-24-05 07:43 PM

Ishe has definitely fought the best ppl pre-Conterder.

He beat David Estrada who just lost a decision to Shane Mosely last night. He also beat Randall Bailey who lost to Miguel Cotto & Demarcus "Chop Chop" Corley.

Ishe Smith's Record

Dabaomb 04-24-05 07:49 PM

Ishe is a beast.

I love how Ahmed is in Sergio's corner and Alphonso is in Ishe's corner.

astrochimp 04-24-05 07:54 PM

Good fight :) love the way the Latin Snake made Ishe miss,lets see how the judges score it.

astrochimp 04-24-05 07:56 PM

Whoo hoo,way to go Sergio!,smart fight.

Dabaomb 04-24-05 07:57 PM

That was a clear fight. Rounds 1, 4, & 5 to Sergio. Rounds 2 & 3 to Ishe.

Sergio definitely earned this victory.

astrochimp 04-24-05 08:00 PM

Jesse looks pretty smart now for settin that fight up.

Dabaomb 04-24-05 08:03 PM

I totally forgot to mention Ahmed's shirt. It said "Champion of Contender" on the front and "Hollywood" on the back. :lol:

The Champion who lost in the first round :lol:

Also, Sly called him "Ack-med" and not "Ah-med" :lol:

I also loved Sergios' Sugar-Ray windup punch.

Personally, although Ishe lost, I still think he has the best natural ability of the bunch. Sergio was simply the smarter fighter in that fight. Sergio deserves his props

astrochimp 04-24-05 08:05 PM

I dont think Ahmed will ever run outta confidence :lol:

Patman 04-24-05 08:07 PM

Good fight, the twists and turns of this competition probably comes from most of these fighters not being known enough to set up the viewer's expectations, and when the "upset" is scored, it makes for good TV.

Now, that obstacle course was plain silly because there are so many places to twist a knee, turn an ankle, etc.

astrochimp 04-24-05 08:08 PM

Looks like a Alphonso/Ahmed fight shapin up to me.

Dabaomb 04-24-05 08:09 PM

Ahmed definitely wasn't humbled by his loss. He's cockier than ever.

Dabaomb 04-24-05 08:15 PM

Ahmed is a moron. Why would he think that Joey or any of the other guys would want him to win? :lol:

astrochimp 04-24-05 08:15 PM

I was thinkin the same thing :lol:

Dabaomb 04-24-05 08:21 PM

Why the hek is Joey's father wearing pink? :lol:

astrochimp 04-24-05 08:24 PM

Yeah pink for the military man wasnt a good choice :lol: Nice of Joey to let Peter win,not sure why he did that though.

I think that Joey is well off and I think his strategy was to let Peter take the heat for pairing Alphonso with Ahmed.

Joey didn't ruffle any feathers. You can tell that he's very intelligent and that he went to law school

astrochimp 04-24-05 08:36 PM

Well i was right,Alphonso vs Ahmed,should be good.

Dabaomb 04-24-05 08:41 PM

they showed it in the previews so this fight was expected. Hek, they showed Sergio fighting Ishe in the previews as well.

astrochimp 04-24-05 08:56 PM

Good fight :) Had to laugh when Ahmed put his hand up and he got popped in the mouth :lol: Lets see what he has to say now ;)
