"Peter Manfredo vs. Joey Gilbert -- How Does It Happen?" |
"Master of Manipulation?"http://contender.tv.yahoo.com/01/index.html The preview for this Sunday's episode shows that Joey's considering fighting the "injured" Anthony. He says something close to, "Well, someone's eventually going to have to fight him. Why shouldn't it be me?" Hmmm, so is Joey looking for some sweet revenge or just an easy road to the Final Four? Whatever the case, thanks to all you TiVo owners it's presently common knowledge that Joey ends up fighting Peter in this Sunday's episode. But here's the question I'm most interested in: How does it happen? Is the preview designed to lead us astray? Does Joey inevitably choose his own poison with Manfredo? If not, it would certainly be a waste of a 40k donation. Does he really have the balls to force an injured fighter into the ring? Or does Jesse surprise us all by winning the challenge? It's obvious he'd then setup the Peter/Joey fight and save the gimpy Anthony for himself. After last week's cowardly act (ie not fighting Ishe), why would we be surprised? Lastly, does Sergo win the challenge and setup the the fight he wanted to see all along? He already stated he wants Joey gone .. and he felt Peter should have taken the chance last week. That being said, can Sergio even partake in the challenges now that he's fought? I'd love to hear your ideas. Let us know how you think it happens!

Joey states in a clip on the Yahoo site this week that his goal all along was to make it to the third round. He's got to know that he doesn't have much of a chance against Peter or Jesse, so I have no doubt that he does seriously consider going against the injured guy.I'm thinking that Sergio wins the competition and decides to pick Peter and Joey to fight. It falls right into two of the things Sergio talked about on the last episode. It stops Joey from playing more mind games with all of them by putting him up against the strongest one left, and also has Peter fighting Peter. Its that 600 pound gorilla thing, Sergio mentioned last week. Peter likes Joey (and vice versa). While Peter will box to win, he might well feel guilty over hitting him too hard. While $40,000 isn't even close to $1,000,000, but it was a pretty generous gift, and it could well take some pyschological toll in the ring. I'm going to add a question to the thread here, and I'm sure I know what some of the response will be. NBC is touting Joey as the heart and soul of the show thus far. Does anyone really see him as that? While he did well in the group competitions, I haven't found his story nearly as compelling as the others, except for Ahmed perhaps. While Jesse's antics amuse me, I really see Sergio and Alfonso as the heart and soul of the show.

well from a "pull your heartstrings" standpoint, i don't think joey's story is very compelling. I would agree and say sergio and alfonso are more the "rags to riches" type. However, I think Joey will show he has a lot of heart in the ring. From what i have heard he loses this fight due to a headbutt, they go to the cards and he is down on points. It will be interesting to see the fight though. I think joey may be more talented in the ring than he is given credit for...it will be interesting to listen to manfredo's comments after the fight. The more I have thought about it, the more i think joey gave peter the truck w/o mal intent. Joey may be a true gentleman after all.
