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.

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

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

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

Ishe is a beast.

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

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

Sergio definitely earned this victory.

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

The Champion who lost in the first round

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

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

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.

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

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

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
