Telling is the fact that even on The Contender Season 4, nationally televised in the US back in 2008, where ⅔ of the participants were American (of the field of sixteen, everyone but Alfredo Escalera Jr., who's Puerto Rican; AK Laleye and Hino Ehikhamenor, who are both Nigerian; and tourney champ Troy Ross, who's Canadian) - not only wasn't the show widely promoted, none of the bouts even took place on U.S. soil, but rather in freaking Singapore of all places, which is known far more for its barbaric practices of caning its prisoners than for being a haven of boxing.
:-( Sad but true. Danny Garcia vs Rod Salka? Showtime. Yoan Hernandez vs Firat Arslan? Find it yourself, you lazy putz, that's what the internet is for.
That was beautiful just as I predicted, but you didn't have to be a rocket scientist to expect that outcome.
God, I'm glad that this dude got iced I've been waiting for this. Do you guys remember the Yamaguchi fight when he hit him while he was down to score a TKO win then showed a ****ty sportsmanship by pushing him after the controversial ending.
And non punchers too, he only lasted 5 rounds with Evgeny. Maybe just keep him away from anyone good ever again.
Yep sure do. That was the longest time lapse I've ever seen for a guy to be hit after he has gone down. It wasn't even a knockdown. It was slip and he wasn't hurt. He was seriously hurt when he got hit by the punch when he was down. I could not believe Les Fear counting him out. It should have been a dq. He was a dirty fighter back then. It looks like he has cleaned his act up now though.
Billy showed a ton of heart to get up off the canvas after those huge punches,Be interesting to see which route Team Did takes after all those unsuccessful title opportunities that were presented abroad
