Not a great episode tonight.

Juan was crazy though, threw a million punches and never guarded himself. If he fought Jesse, Juan would get his head knocked off fighting like that.

Next week Joey vs Jimmy...Can't say I'm too excited about that.

Yeh Jonathan Reid I think you mean. He looked quality, just maybe he wasn't prepared for the fight.

Totally agree. Manfredo looks like a boxer, but he has no agression and ends up taking all the punishment in the ring. There was one black male who was superb but lost early on. i think he should have been voted to come back.

NO, afterwards, before the show aired on national television he committed suicide, apparently by shooting himself.

Jesse is one of the most impressive fighters and his voice cracks me up every time :D

For all the slander 'Daddy's Boy' is a good fighter, I was impressed by the pummelling blows. Alfonso looks like he'll shape up to be a knock-out specialist

A fight I'd like to see would be between Sergio and Alfonso, both are unpredictable, good to watch, and powerful. The match would probably be very even and there'd be a load of pummelling from both sides :)

Yeah true, at least with him they can say "look we have the THIRD rank in the world, it's so high quality here" etc etc.

He's the highest rank, he looks like a boxer...but he sucks.
Alfonso is the most unlikely boxer yet he's showed the most fight so far.

Although I was impressed with Jesse, he has a lot of bite.

He's ranked third which I really do find hard to believe. Granted he has the trademark boxers face sporting a broken nose, cauliflower ears etc

He never really gets into the fight and isn't free flowing whatsoever. I haven't even seen him throw a flurry of punches. He just tends to put his guard up and hide behind it, flicking out the occassional punch.

Not interesting to watch and not really worthy of his status. Doesn't add anything much to the programme except showing you a higher rank.

Yeh you're right Mr Funk.

I'm not a boxer, and I know little about the sport, but it seems like a few of the contender lads are so up for it, and then in the ring they barely throw a punch, its weird. I know it's hard when you're actually in the ring etc etc, but some people go nuts and throw loads of punches and win, and some others, like Manfredo in the first fight, just took a beating without throwing anything.

Strange.

But yeh, he is kind of boring, seems a bit plain for someone who had a lot of hype around him.

But he's always so 'wooden'. Not a particularly interesting fighter, not much prowess or grace. Doesn't even get stuck in.

Alfonso knocked him out first time round. A new fighter should've taken the place of Chickenpox man.
