The Contender 5/1/05
 

Just a friendly reminder that this is on again tonight. From the previews it looks like it's Joey vs. Manfredo.

Yep Joey vs Peter,go Peter :D

Jesse dominated that competition. He was in first place pretty much every time except that time that Joey tackled him.

Manfredo completely outboxed Gilbert that round.

Great 1st round for Manfredo :)

2 rounds to 0 for Manfredo.

Manfredo is completely dominating Joey.

round 3 to Joey.

Joey took it to Manfredo that round.

Looks like its all even with 1 to go.

this is like the Ishe-Sergio fight when Ishe dominated the beginning of the fight and Sergio came back to take the fight.

Joey's sisters are hilarious...they're so into the fight :lol:

That's one nasty cut on Joey's face....it's the entire length of his eyebrow. Even if he won that fight, there's no way that he would've been able to continue.

Manfredo was winning round 5 anyway.

Despite losing, Joey showed a lot of heart in this fight.

Joey dont look too good after that head butt.Was a close fight though :)

Best show on televsion. Period.


Looks like that damn spoiler I received is going to be true. Bastards.

It looked like Manfredo took a couple of rounds off, but luckily the headbutt didn't cost him the decision.

That was a brutal fight. Hated to see the headbutt, would have loved to have seen how the last 30 seconds or so of the final round would have played out.

Joey showed a lot of heart, coming back after those first two rounds and the rib injury.

That was too bad about the headbutt. What a great fight, Manfredo almost giving it away towards the end. Dunno if he was tired from throwing all those punches in the first 2 rounds. I thought he'd key in on Gilbert's ribs going jab jab then inside, but he almost boxed like it was an amateur fight and eased up with the 2 round lead. How could he not go to the ribs when Gilbert was clearly favoring them? -ohbfrank-

It's too bad this next fight is completely irrelevant, since the winner has no chance vs. the 3 guys remaining. I think Tony would give a good effort, but he's injured, so I'm not sure how much he can actually do. Either way, neither of them have a chance.

Can't wait till the fight between Alfonso and Sergio, Alfonso and Peter or Peter and Sergio. Whichever 2 fight, that'll be a great match.

Man do I love this show! This is the show I look forward to the most (except for Lost but the 5 week siesta's it takes makes it hard to look forward to a re-run).

Man did Joey show a TON of heart.. This fight with the ribs and the last fight with the leg. This kid really seems like a good guy. I was pulling for him. If he only had confidence in himself I think he would do A LOT better.

Oh well. I liked Manfredo too.

Man did the previews look good or what! I hope Jesse takes that clown down (altho I think he packs one HECKOFA punch!).

I wasn't a fan of Manfredo when he got the gift re-entry but now he along with Sergio are the only 2 people that I'm pulling for. I can't stand either of the 2 that are fighting next week so I don't know who to root for.

No change to win against the three fights who made it into the final four ?? I wouldn't say that. Jesse beat Jonathan who was regarded as a really tough journeyman fighter. And Anthony has the only KO of the series thus far, when he gave Brent a royal ass -wompin. I wouldn't say either has NO SHOT against the others at all.

Next week they are making out like Jesse is winning and Anothony gets a huge late fight spurt. But they advertised something similar with Ahmed vs. Alfonso. My guess is that next week is a wash with Jesse getting an easy win.

Love this series though.

I'm in the same situation, but I think I'll root for #1 Daddy over Scholarly Jesse so I don't have to listen to him educate me on how "the lion from Wizard of Oz needs a heart" or how Ishe Smith is also a coward for backing down on his fight with Ahmed when he does the same exact same thing to Ishe in the second round. At least Joey admitted that he was playing the game.

Awesome fight last night, its just going to keep getting better and better.

I f'ing hate Jesse. He's just such an annoying shithead. I hate that he made such a huge deal about Ishe, Anthony, and now Joey sticking to their word, but he himself bailed on his word when it came to fighting Ishe and let Sergio take care of it. Plus blowing dirt in Joey's eye was cheap bullshit. I hope Anthony or whoever just knocks the bastard out cold.

To be fair, Joey was cheap and tackling him, holding him, etc. on the race preceeding that one. So he was just getting him back.

What goes around comes around.
