In yahoo's preview for tonight's show, Joey says .. "At first I thought about fighting Peter Manfredo, but .."Hmmm, so Joey gave the truck to the guy he was considering fighting? This goes beyond coincidence, people. Gilbert's constantly looking for the mental edge .. and what's a 40k truck worth to a future lawyer trying to make a million as a boxer? Now, there's no question this move looks silly to the average television viewer. But Joey doesn't fall into that category.
Now -- I don't think Gilbert's a "punk" for doing this. Heck, this is the game he has to play for a chance to win. He's attempting to cover as many angles as possible and protect himself from obtaining a disadvantage in the ring. And that's fine. But let's just call it how it is!
And when it comes down to it, do we really care? A poor kid from Providence gets a brand new ride, Joey gets the Alfonzo-Ahmed fight he wanted, and both Manfredo and Gilbert live to fight another day.
But eventually, the game ends ..
And that could be tonight.
