look at the contender season 3 fighters! Incredible list!

What weight is it being fought at? And what weights do the boxers usually fight at? It looks a good bunch of lads with talent, a real mixture. Hasnt one just fought Zolt Erdei for a light heavey belt?

I will be cheering on Paul Smith but He has not faced anyone decent. I would not be surprised if he got starched first round even if he is said to be in with a good shout of winning.

 

supermiddleweight

 

and nearly all of these guys belong or have fought consistently at 168, unlike past seasons which mixed guys of disparate physical make-ups with no business in the ring together.

 

Good point. Have to say though, sometimes these guys dont take that reality seriously, and make their own beds. Last year, Michael Clark took on K-9, and got his ass waxed. His fault for that one. However, Forbes was clearly the smaller man against a tough enough Brewer, and really made for a mismatch.

 

This is a great setup. From what everyone is saying, the show itself will continue to feature edited fights, but ESPN will show the entire bouts later.

And Jeff Lacy apparently expressed interest in doing the show, but he wasn't healed up in time.

 

I had read that Bute, Lacy, Green, and Adrande were all appraoched. At least the producers are going for it. And they've clearly listened to the fans.

 

I'd go with Sakio Bika or Sam Soliman

 

Bika is going to be very tough to beat in this one...Soliman would be his biggest threat because of his workrate...

 

I completely agree Illmatic. I'm ready for the action. A thread earlier today someone was bitching about being tired of the contender.:-(

It's free show on a tuesday night, what the hell is there to complain about. Not to mention as a "boxing fan" what the hell is there better to do on a tuesday night??:deal

 

i think Bika will do the best

 

:good easily

 

Yup, I almost feel sorry for the rest. Only Soliman has a slight chance, but he should stay at 160, really.

 

thats my bois there :good
especially banks he reminds me totally of shane mosley in how he fights

 

the dude was a lightwieght fighting grady brewer who fights at middlewieght:admin i didnt like it at all when both of them got through steve forbes is one of my favorite fighters very quick nice left hook to the body...
