The Contender

[SuitedSixes]

I'm in shock that Jesse lost. I was tricked. Everything lead me to believe that he was going to KO Sergio. The way they kept focusing on "just one punch," and replaying Sergio saying, "I'll quit if I get knocked out."

I don't have any feeling one way or the other for this episode. It was good and the fight was exciting. I guess I am just reeling from Jesee not winning.

The 3rd Place bout between Alfonso and Jesse could be ugly.

Sergio and Peter will be a war. I like them both, but I am pulling for Sergio (which means he'll lose).

I really hope they agreed to a chop when it got down to the Final Four.

i also thought jesse was going to win, mainly because his character has been developed throughout the show while sergio's hasnt. manfredo's character has also been developed so i thought this was a pattern.

i was really impressed with sergio's boxing in tonight's episode. i dont think manfredo will win.

I assume Vegas is taking bets on the live fight? Anyone going to place a bet?

I like Manfredo.

let me know if you find any sportsbooks that have the fight on it.. or we can just make vig free bets here v each other...

I like Sergio for what its worth.

Boring fight, but it was what I expected. Jesse was just outclassed by a better boxer. I like Sergio on Tuesday, but I think it will be a damn good fight.

I don't know anything about sports betting so mind explaining what those numbers mean?

Minus means he's favored. If you were to bet a $1 on Sergio you would win $1.2. If you bet a $1 on Peter, you would win $.70.

Not quite. A negative number indicates how much you would have to wager to win $100. A positive number indicates how much you would win if you wagered $100. So if you wagered $100 at -170, you'd win 100/170 x $100 = $58.82, not $70.

When they noticed that "He missed that uppercut" I knew it was over for Jesse. Too bad. I think the third place fight might outshine the championship. I'm also suprised that Manfredo is favored, but I'll be rootin for him to take down the snake.
