Contender - Season III

wow.. Bika, Codrington, Smith, Soliman, Vera, Wells and Williams.. should be a good season

 

Hey, that's not too bad. I thought Soliman was moving down to 154 though?

 

Now thats a bit more like it!:happy

 

Yeah, no kidding on the sound effects. But if that's what it takes to get the fights on air, I'm all for it.

I wonder how tried and true pros will hold up under the reality TV microscope. Should be interesting. Part of me thinks the younger guys might adapt better to this kind of format, but on the other hand they may be more likely to get distracted.

The field is much, much better than usual, so credit to ESPN for that. The semifinal rounds should be legitimate TV fights, at least undercards for one of the networks.

 

As soon as someone hits him square on that glass chin. My guess, it happens in his first fight.:yep

 

****ing brilliant, real fighters with real potential some of them.

I would say Paul Smith would win, but im not to sure he'll acclimatise to 168pounds well

 

Anybody know when it airs??

Im gonna go with an underdog on this one and pick Rubin Williams, Last season i picked Grady Brewer from the beginning... little proud of that

 

Hey, that's not a bad roster.

 

I heard they wanted Jeff Lacy to be in it, but regardless, some good fighters. My pick: Sakio Bika

 

I'd have to go with Bika aswell , but the competition actually looks interesting this year .

 

Yap, going with Sakio. He's been in there with Bute and Calzahge, and gave both of them good fights. However, you never know. There might be another Alfonzo Gomez in there some where. The contender is an awesome reality show.

BTW, anybody watch Fight Girl? That's pretty good too

 

i would laugh so hard if the guy that does it is McCrary

 

These guys are now realizing The Contender is a relatively easy way to get a name and a title fight. Because of this they have attracted a better class of fighter than the first 2 series.
