look at the contender season 3 fighters! Incredible list!

Jaidon Codrington is going to get KOed his chin is terrible. I bet he gets knocked out in his first fight.

 

My 2 picks are paul smith and bika.

 

This is a pretty solid group of fighters. I'm pulling for my fellow Detroiter Rubin Williams.

 

Are you joking?

There was not one point in the fight were anyone even needed to consider the possiblity that Bika could win.

 

That said, winning a round off Joe Calzaghe sets you up to win here, easily.

 

This talent pool is head, shoulders, knees and toes above the first two seasons. This is going to be great.

 

I like Paul Smith and Bika. I worry about Codrington's chin, and how can you not after A Green? Smith, from what I've been told, is a real banger. And I've seen Bika in person and he is very tough and awkward. He had Bute for the first 5-6 rounds of their fight, and that was in Bute's back yard. He's a very tough out for this kind of competition.

 

Bika's going to be hard to beat here. He's a massive and naturally strong guy and I think that might be enough to beat some of the smaller, less proven guys. He's also, along with Soliman, fought the best competition by far. I think some people may be underating his boxing ability too; he was outboxed by guys a number of steps in class above the rest of this contender bunch.

 

Bunting and Buchanan are both B- fodder based on their showings in the ShoBox SMW tournament; but even as the weakest links on Season three they're still a class above any Contender alum to date; barring maybe Gomez.

 

McCrory will be a factor, especially if he's matched with that china chinned joke Codrington.

 

Why?

Because he landed ONE good hook against Green?

He'd get sparked out by Codrington long before he could land that punch.

Bika, Soliman and Codrington are the hands on favorites IMHO.

 

Stevie Forbes is better then Bunting, Buchanan and Gomez.

 

McCrary is not a projection for a winner, I said 'factor'. Codrington nearly got taken out in his last against a complete can, he's awful and has gotten no better since being removed by Green.

McCrary however has been the underdog in a few fights and has put some guys out, he's got very good punching power from what I have seen on a few occassions and can get it there on 'lesser than B level' guys like Codrington.

 

****, my bad. atsch Completely forgot about 2lb. Poor fellow should have got the decisions against both Brewer and Hopkins, but really doesn't belong anywhere near the weight classes they've featured on the Contender. Ditto Michael Clark.

 

This seems to have come out of nowhere! Definitely looking forward to watching this season. This is by far the best group of fighters on the show. Now, if only they can continue to do this...this show would gain a lot more respect amongst the boxing community.
