Whaddya think? Tarick this week and they hold off Joey for next week?

"RE: Episode 04/10 Discussion"
Posted by volsfan on 04-10-05 at 08:05 PM
Yeah I think so.

Ishe went off the deep end!

Nutz...I have been stalking you all day on these boards!

*smoochies*

It's OK dahlin' I'm flattered to be stalked by you, you hottie! *smooch*

Holy cow!

Ishe, Alfonso, Juan, Jimmy & others? are steamin' mad about Anthony's choice to fight Brent.


Jesse & Peter are talkin' in the bedroom and don't want to go out to the kitchen where the commotion is.

Joey moved out of the bedroom that he shared with Anthony.


Oh the drama!

I was actually LMAO at Jesse and Peter!

I think Tarick is up tonight. Possibly Jimmy?

I know! Those two in the bedroom were cracking me up!

Juan says he will pick Tarick! I don't know about this...could be a mistake.

"RE: Episode 04/10 Discussion"
Posted by ARnutz on 04-10-05 at 08:13 PM
Jimmy says he's ready for either Joey or Tarick.

Juan says if the East wins the challenge, he'll pick Tarick.

Tony wanted to give his bling-bling immunity thing to Brent, Sly talked him out of it.

Ishe doesn't want to go on the reward with the West.

Ja Rule shows up to take the guys out.


"RE: Episode 04/10 Discussion"
Posted by volsfan on 04-10-05 at 08:13 PM
Ishe is being childish (IMHO) he didn't go to the reward and he missed out on getting a watch.

Oh no...they are going out and Jesse will get SMASHED!

I know Ja Rule gets smashed, I took my daughter to a concert once with several acts (a radio station sponsored show), Ja went on last and he came out with a bottle of Krystal (sp?) and he was slurring his words so bad while he was tryin' to sing, LOL! Guess being the last act out of 7 or 8, you have a long time to sit around and par-tay!


"RE: Episode 04/10 Discussion"
Posted by volsfan on 04-10-05 at 08:18 PM
There is no doubt Ja Rule knows how to party! These guys really enjoy their rewards and you can tell they are not used to the amenities that they have been giving. It is really cool to see.

Boy, there showing Joey now talkin' about his dad! His dad is home from Afghanistan.

They've shown Jimmy, Joey & Juan this week so far, they are not giving away who is fighting yet! Argh!


"RE: Episode 04/10 Discussion"
Posted by volsfan on 04-10-05 at 08:21 PM
I know...now I am crying like a little baby! I dropped Extreme Home Makeover for this so I wouldn't cry every Sunday!

I am really confused on who is fighting!

The challenge is up and it is a build a playground for the kids. They are going to demolish cinderblock walls where the playground will be build. The blocks go into a Toyota Tundra.

East coast truck weighs 6655 pounds
West coast truck weighs 7300 pounds

West coast wins and will chose next two fights.

A twist! Whoever wins gets to fight last in the first round?

The guys have to give back to the community clean up the playground. Smash the ccinder block walls and load it into the bed of their TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCKS!!!!!! WTF? will there ever be a challenge without those trucks?


The winner gets to choose for the next 2 fights.

6655 vs. 7035 (Oooops! 7300) the West wins b/c their truck weighs more.


Does this mean there's no challenge next week?

Nope, you won't get away from Toyota. They paid for product integration in the show, as did Everlast. Kinda like the Pringles/Chevy truck angle in survivor.

Guess not about the challenge. Will be a boring episode if we only have a reward and one fight.

"RE: Episode 04/10 Discussion"
Posted by volsfan on 04-10-05 at 08:30 PM
Juan vs. Tarick.

Jimmy vs. Joey

The last two fights. Let's see how it plays out!


"RE: Episode 04/10 Discussion"
Posted by ihavturtlduvluv on 04-10-05 at 08:32 PM
Juan looks so young - I'm afraid to watch the fight tonight.

Actually, the only way I can handle watching The Contender is coming here 3 hours before and being prepared for what happens lols. I'm a chicken I admit it.

Juan looks even younger tonight as they have sort of concentrated on him. He doesn't seem to be scared at all. He is ready for it. I am sure he is nervous but it doesn't show.


"RE: Episode 04/10 Discussion"
Posted by volsfan on 04-10-05 at 08:45 PM
Juan is holding his own very well! He is getting the best of Tarick right now IMHO

"RE: Episode 04/10 Discussion"
Posted by volsfan on 04-10-05 at 08:50 PM
AWESOME last round! One of the best overall rounds yet. They traded punch for punch!

Judges decision...winner is JUAN!


"RE: Episode 04/10 Discussion"
Posted by ARnutz on 04-10-05 at 09:00 PM
Wow! I didn't know Juan had it in him! Tarick looked much bigger and he has a lot more experience even though he's been out of the ring for 3 years.


Next week looks good!


We already know Joey will fight Jimmy and they also show Joey's dad there... Vols, we'll be cryin'!


"RE: Episode 04/10 Discussion"
Posted by volsfan on 04-10-05 at 09:05 PM

Hell, I almost cried during the previews. I don't know if I can take a complete show of it!


"RE: Episode 04/10 Discussion"
Posted by VegasFightWriter on 04-11-05 at 00:04 AM
Even from the edited highlights we saw, it looked to me as if the lesser quality of the fighters was evident this week. Juan didn't have muc in the way of technique, and Tarick looked like someone who'd been out of the ring a long time. I liked his positive attitude post-fight, though.

"Geez you two!"
Posted by PhoenixMons on 04-10-05 at 09:47 PM
I don't have my computer in the same room as the TV, so I can't play...wah!

I was pulling for little Juan this episode. Whoo hoo! He looks too sloppy for the next round though (unless he gets a lucky draw). He obviously has some power in those punches, though...just probably a little too inexperienced and not technical enough to go much further (I do like the kid a lot, though).

And weird as it may sound, I'm glad Ishe stuck to his guns and didn't participate in the reward. I think he's taking it a bit far, but at least he's not all talk! And Tony cannot seriously wonder why his teammates would be mad at him...he must be on crack if he can't figure it out.


Got blog?


"RE: Geez you two!"
Posted by volsfan on 04-10-05 at 10:00 PM
Mons, next week you have to move the computer or the TV so you can join in!

Yeah, I agree in that Tony should understand why everyone was so pissed. I thought Alfonso handled it all really well as he has with things in the past.


"RE: Geez you two!"
Posted by ARnutz on 04-10-05 at 10:23 PM
Yeah, you need to rearrange the house so you can watch & post with us!


My TV is in the next room so I can't really see it at the same time I'm typing, but sometimes I have to run down the hall to the bedroom and back to the computer when I'm watching and DH is in the den, LOL!


I agree, Ishe took a stand and he stuck to his guns!

Ja Rule ain't nuttin' anyway!

Yo, Fitty Cent is way betta! G - UNIT!!! *snort*

"RE: Geez you two!"
Posted by ARnutz on 04-11-05 at 07:56 AM
He thinks I'm... well... Nutz!

He knows I'm Nutz for my shows, so he's fine with it.

Sometimes he mocks me, LOL! He'll say something like:

{girly voice}Oh... chatting about your show? Oh... can you believe so-and-so did that? Oh... who's gonna get fired? {/girly voice}

He knew I was Nutz when he married me, so it's all good.

I have had him watching The Contender sometimes though! He likes it!

Joey is getting smashed next week.

"RE: Geez you two!"
Posted by Rebellwyr on 04-11-05 at 04:39 PM
We'll see, I don't think he will. The previews set it up like he was losing really bad, but then said something about "shocking them all" or something. Go to the yahoo contender website and look at Joey's picture slideshow. In the last picture he is wearing a gold necklace and sunglasses. This necklace looks strangely familiar to the gold chain alfonso is wearing in his slideshow. Chew on this: no other photo shows joey wearing a gold chain. I think it is the "gold glove" thing they give to the fighters for winning. Plus, Joey's face in the picture looks a little torn up....look at his forehead in particular. IE: i think joey got a little face beating, but wins against jimmy lange. They did the same thing with pictures of alfonso at the early stages: ie: alfonso is wearing big sunglasses in some of the early photos, opening credits etc. because his face was beaten up. Just my .02...but i can't wait to say I told you so.

"RE: Geez you two!"
Posted by ARnutz on 04-11-05 at 08:23 PM
Great detective work there! I hope you're right and Joey wins. We won't have long to see who'll win! I'm very excited to see how the second round of fights will be handled. They can't so East vs/ West anymore.


Welcome to the boards!

Hey could someone point me in the direction of the "slideshow"? I can only find the one pic of each boxer.


"Here ya go..."
Posted by ARnutz on 04-11-05 at 10:01 PM
http://contender.tv.yahoo.com/01/fighters/joey.html


Just go to the individual boxer page and click "view slideshow". That one is Joey.


To see other boxers, just click on their names listed under East or West. (next to the photo w/ Sly & Sugar Ray)


"Thanks so much!"
Posted by volsfan on 04-12-05 at 05:43 PM
Should I bring the pic over to chat about it?

I have to admit it does look like it! As we don't see Joey wearing any necklace in any shot other than this one.


"RE: Geez you two!"
Posted by Superbad on 04-12-05 at 01:14 PM
We shall see, indeed.
I'm not going by any pictures or anything. I'm going on how they match up: experience, physically, ring records...

So if Joey does win, you can say you told me so, but it'll only go so far. It'll be akin to seeing Andre Ward with a gold medal around his neck the night before his final match and predicting that he'll win the Olympics.

If we're doing straight handicapping, I say Lange wins. If he loses it'll be an upset and I'll be the first to concede that I was wrong.


"RE: Geez you two!"
Posted by Radical on 04-12-05 at 05:34 PM
whether it's a clue or just a coincidence, You can figure out who's gonna win the first round by the introduction of the show.

"RE: Geez you two!"
Posted by Superbad on 04-18-05 at 01:24 AM
Rebellwyr: I stand corrected. Joey pulled the upset. I said
he couldn't do it and I was wrong. I'm very good at betting the fights (this is NOT bragging, cuz' I take the bookie's cash most of the time .)
This looked like a sure thing("10-1", "20-1" lol!) But, like they say, I guess that's why they fight 'em, right?

Jimmy looked weak, man. I know Joey's physically strong but I thought Jimmy was stronger than that. He still fought a brave fight in his own right, though.

I don't know how long Joey's gonna last cuz' of the hamstring and the fact that he's in against the big boys now...

But I guess he proved that he's capable of maybe pulling off another surprise.

I do have to say that Jimmy's extended interview on yahoo is moving....a skilled fighter and a class act 100%.

a positive attitude.
