If anyone can explain to me HOW Bravo lost this fight, and how the scoring was justified I will be deeply appreciative. I have the utmost respect for each other contenders, but tonights scoring and win has tarnished this great show. At this point I'm so disappointed I don't know if I will watch next season or not. I know that I will not be watching the match at the Staples Center.

I am a bit surprised at the comment that a couple have said that Bravo was robbed, and that the fight was a fix. That fight was close mainly because of the first round knockdown. I have tivo and have reviewed several times. My conclusion is that Grady won the same way Steve Forbes wins, which is by throwing far more punches than his opponents in the last two rounds.

You must be blind.....Bravo won period!! The contender show is bad for boxing and in itself boxing is showing the WORLD why boxing is a dieing a slow death!

Granted everyone will see the fight differently, but the question is...

Did Brew really win the fight in the way that the scoring reflects? NO!

He was knocked down in the first round and BOTH fighters were going punch for punch. Very rarely did Brew punch without a counter by Bravo so he did not dominate any ONE round. He did not win the fight, and his 'win' in no way is reflected by the judges scores.

Dude,

I must be blind? For you to say that you must think that Bravo won easily, which I think is crazy. This was a close fight. Have you reviewed the fight and done a punch count (at least what we saw on TV).

From everything that I have read, the contender has been very popular, and is being credited with renewing interest in boxing. After Mike Tyson, these guy's were really what people wanted to see.

The fight was a close one after the FIRST round Bravo didn't run away with this win but BRAVO WON PERIOD. If you think Brewer won then you are blind or just caught up on him winning. BREWER GOT KNOCK DOWN NOT BRAVO !!!!!!!!!! Brewer DIDN'T WIN THE REST OF THE ROUNDS THEY WERE EVEN IF NOT CLOSE BUT DIDN'T WIN THE FIGHT........DAM ARE YOU BLIND OR WHAT!!!

I liked both Bravo and Brewer, but I have to give this one to Brewer. It was a great fight. I cried with Bravo at the end. He is an awesome fighter and hope he is able to get some opportunities to box and make some money for his family. Bravo you made this season worth watching. Thank you!

The fact that there are so many different opinions, and that the decision was cheered by the crowed tells me how close this was. Unlike some on this board, I don't think that anyone is blind, just different calls on a close fight.

Bravo won ......drink some coffee and watch the fight again and don't add any sugar.....and YOU WILL KNOW BRAVO WON !!!! BOXING IS SO SO SAD NOW!!

Bravo won the first round and Grady won the next four. How do you figure Bravo won that fight.
