Contender 4 fighters named! Although ESPN dropped "The Contender" boxing reality series from its 2008 schedule, the network scooped the Contender's new home VERSUS by announcing the Season Four particiants. They are Mike Alexander (12-2, 8 KOs), Felix Cora Jr. (18-2-2, 9 KOs), Ryan Coyne (9-0, 3 KOs), Ehinomen Ehikhamenor (12-3-0, 7 KOs), Deon Elam (9-0-0, 5 KOs), Alfredo Escalera Jr. (15-1-1, 11 KOs), Tim Flamos (20-4-1, 8 KOs), Richard Gingras (9-1-0, 5 KOs), Joell Godfrey (9-0-1, 5 KOs), Rico Hoye (20-2, 15 KOs), Akinyemi Laleye (10-1, 5 KOs), Troy Ross (17-1, 12 KOs), Jon Schneider (7-2-1, 5 KOs), Lawrence Tauasa (30-5-1, 17 KOs), Erick Vega (8-2-1, 6 KOs) and Darnell Wilson (23-7-3, 20 KOs). It was also announced that Sugar Ray Leonard is out as host, replaced by Tony Danza. The series will air between December and February
Danza will be OK in my books, though clearly a downgrade. Sucks that Flores and Ofalabi are out, but there are some decent fighters in there. This is a great chance for the Dingaling man!
Anything beats Leonord talking in sentence fragments ! You never know when he is done talking because of his awkward pauses in mid sentence. I could not stand it.
