The Contender

We have our first knock out and perhaps our first villian. I understand the guy wanting to pick his own fight but he went about it like a pussy and that using the "food on his children's plate" card was bullshit.

He did kick the ass though.

I understand what he did but it was a dick move not telling that other guy on his team. Although I didn't really care after I saw him crying because Bonsante took his man.

deception is part of the game.

I'm all for him picking his own guy, but all that "I'm going to have his head on a platter," and pleading with his teammates to win the challenge was bullshit.

So, I'm guessing Tarik fights next week.

I didn't like Anthony's move at all, but I have to admit he fought a damn good fight, that was some hardcore PWNAGE by him.

Anthony is a chump. There was no reason for him to lie about who he was going to fight. He probably would have beaten any of the remaining 3 east guys, so what was the point. You have to be the best of the 16 to win the cash anyways, so there's no logic to dodging fights and pissing people off. He's just going to make it worse on himself later when everyone is gunning for him. To make money in boxing, you have to fight fights people want to see. As far as the hardcore PWNAGE, the guy he fought was a bum. He was 20-2, but had something like 7 fights against 0-0 fighters and 10 more against people with 0 wins, while Anthony actually is a bonified C- level pro fighter. He will have trouble when he faces the better of the group though--his last pro bout before the show was a 12 round loss to Peter Manfredo.

Agreed he can't beat any of the others that are in the Final 8 so far.

There is no way you can make that statement based on what you have seen from the TV show each week.

Ok, I would like to have seen what happened if the fight went another round or two. If he hadn't inflicted the damage that he did, it may have been Turpin's Round 2 all over again.

the fact he went 12 rounds against manfredo is impressive for me
