    its on versus right now. i didnt care for the other seasons but this season they Ding on there so i've been watching. most of them cats are scrubs, I dont see ant of them beating Ding. they should find more B-level fighters instead of the cats that are 3-1 and ****.

    Ding is B level himself.
    Anyway what's happening?
    I think Troy Ross and Rico Hoye have pretty good chances aswel.Cora jr. also looked good.

    thats what I'm saying, but he's pretty much the only legit fighter there. I cant really tell if any the other cats are any good. they only show drama, some training the highlights from the fights.

    Yeah,it's a rerun prolly.They won't show the new episode till after the holidays.
    The nigerian guy AK will win.Vega announces his retirement after.Vegas showed heart though altough he is a journeyman.AK is pretty good.The other nigerian guy also seems tough(Hino).

    Good for him,altough he shouldn't quit his dayjob.He was a good amateur.The last rounds like you said was great but still don't think Vega will do anything after this.

    Vegas best win was over a guy that was 7-3. he also lost to a guy that was 2-1 and another one that was 4-2. he shouldn't have been on that show. same with the Jewish guy from broxn that lost.

    Is there a money prize for the winner? they need to change their incentive program and get better fighters

    Isn't that the point of the show?Making stars out of bums?It somewhat worked for the guys in season 1,altough they weren't that bad.Gomez,Manfredo,Brinkley,Gilbert,Mora etc.
    Anyway the jewish guy from Yonkers(Schneider) was all heart but no skill.Kid just couldn't do it,plus Escalera is a decent boxer so styles wise it was bad.He is young though unlike Vega.

    Hoye says he was killing himself to make 175 and that his natural weight is 225.I call BS,he probably was gonna quit after Diaconu and got a call for Singapore and sais yes,in all this time gaining weight.Altough he looks good body wise.And he still is prolly the tallest guy there except Alexander maybe.
