HASN'T ANYONE OTHER THEN MYSELF WONDERED "WHY A GUY WITH ONLY 8 PROFESSIONAL FIGHTS" ON THE SHOW?

I REMEMBER SEEING STALLONE ON TV, PROMOTING THE SHOW, AS AN OPERTUNITY FOR FIGHTERS WHO HAVE HAD AN ARTIFICIAL CEILING OVER THEM, SUCH AS BAD MANAGEMENT, OR BAD PROMOTERS, THAT HAVE KEPT THESE FIGHTERS FROM HAVING A SHOT.

WELL THEN, WHAT IS JOEY DOING HERE? HE HAS ONLY FOUGHT 8 TIMES PROFESSIONALLY IN 8 YEARS! THAT IS NOT A FIGHTER THAT HAS HAD UNFORTUNATE BREAKS IN HIS CAREER. THAT IS A FIGHTER WITH NOT MUCH OF A CAREER! TRY TO LOOK UP THE NAMES AND RECORDS (OF HIS OPPONENTS) FROM HIS PROFESSIONAL FIGHTS. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THEM. ANYTIME IT IS DIFFICULT LOCATING RECORDS THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT. I ASSUME MOST OF THE FIGHTERS HE BEAT HAD LOSING RECORDS OR THEY ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF FIGHTS AND IT WAS A MISS MATCH. WE SEE THIS ALL THE TIME IN BOXING. ARTIFICIAL RECORDS. IT IS NOT UNTIL A FIGHTER FIGHTS LEGIMIMATE FIGHTS DO YOU SEE THEM WILLING TO POST THEIR FIGHT RECORD.

JOEY LOOKS TO BE THE BEST CONDITIONED ATHLETE ON THE SHOW. HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT HE CAN WIN EVERY CHALENGE FOR HIS TEAM, AND AS SOON AS HE DOES HE COMPLAINS OF AN INJURY (HAMSTRING), THUS HE WAS ABLE TO FIGHT LAST.

NOW THAT THERE ARE ONLY 8 FIGHTS LEFT, THE CHALLEGES SHOULD ALL BE INDIVIDUAL ONES. JOEY COULD BET ANY THE REAMINING GUYS IN AN INDIVIDUAL CHALLENGE WITH ONE HAND TIED BEHIND HIS BACK! REMEMBER HOW HE SMASHED THE CINDER BLOCKS LIKE THEY WERE NOTHING!

HE KNOWS HOW TO MANIPULATE OTHERS).(HE IS THE "BOSTON ROB" OF THE SHOW)

I PREDICT JOEY WILL PURPOSELY LOSE THE CHALLENGES. NO MATTER WHAT, HE WILL FIND A REASON TO LOSE. NO MATTER WHAT THE REWARD HE WILL THROW THE COMPETITION, JUST SO HE WILL NOT HAVE TO FIGHT. I WISH I COULD MAKE THIS BET IN VEGAS. JOEY WILL NOT WIN A COMPETITION!

(IN THE FIRST ROUND, HE LEAD HIS TEAM TO VICTORY OVER AND OVER. THOUGHT SINCE IT WAS A "TEAM WIN" HE DID NOT HAVE TO FIGHT. REMEMBER HOW HE SMASHED THE CINDER BLOCKS LIKE THEY WERE NOTHING!)

JOEY IS SMART AND SLICK, HE KNOWS HOW TO MANIPULATE OTHERS). HE IS THE "BOSTON ROB" OF THE SHOW! LIKE IN ANY OF THE REALITY SHOWS, THERE ARE ALLIENCES. THEY JUST DON'T SHOW YOU THEM IN THIS SHOW. WHY ELSE WOULD' NT BE PICKED FIRST TO FIGHT, SINCE HE THE THE LEAST EXPIRENCED FIGHTER AND THE ONE WITH THE FEWEST FIGHTS. DID YOU KNOW THAT JOEY IS JESSE'S PERSONAL ATTORNEY AND AGENT!

JOEY WILL GO FAR IN THE COMPETITION BY NOT FIGHTING. HE IS BIG AND STRONG,THATS IT! HIS INEXPERIECE IS QUITE EVIDENT. HE DOES NOT THROW COMBINATIONS, HE HAS NO JAB, NO LATERAL MOVEMENT, AND HE FIGHTS FLAT FOOTED. HOWEVER, DUE TO HIS SIZE AND STRENGTH, I WOULD NOT ADVISE GOING TOE TO TOE WITH HIM IN THE 12 FT RING THAT THEY ARE USING. HE IS LIKE SHANNON BRIGGS OR TOMMY MORRISON, STRONG AND VERY ONE DIMENSIONAL. EASY TO EXPOSE HIS WEAKNESSESS.

AGAIN I ASK YOU, HOW DID JOEY GET ON THE SHOW? HERE ARE A FEW QUOTES TAKEN FROM AN ARTICLE IN THE NEVADA APPEAL, APRIL 21, 2005.

http://www.nevadaappeal.com/article/20050414/SPORTS/104140034

1). "last week - it was announced that Gilbert will be appearing in a national advertising campaign alongside Sylvester Stallone as a spokesman for Stallone's new InStone nutrition company".

2). "He's been Stallone's guest at his "compound" and on his private jet".

3). "Sylvester Stallone thinks I can be in action films, that's all you need to say," Gilbert said. "Action films and politics are my next two steps"

JOEY MAY BE A NICE GUY, BUT HE IS NO CONTENDER. HE HAS ABSOUTLEY NOT CHANCE OF BEATING ANY MIDDLEWEIGHT IN THE TOP 30 PERIOD!
