Haul medicine balls to the top of a dam and load them in a Toyota truck. When they are done, they have to release a flag.Sheesh! Does every challenge have to use a Toyota truck? East looked really strong at first, but the West got it together and pulled off another win!
They get to choose who fights.

Anthony called out Brent. Jimmy is pissed that he didn't get called out, he was prepared to fight now.Joey is also pissed, he was supposed to fight Brent. Jimmy tells Brent to kick his a$$.
A bunch of the guys decide to go out for a few drinks, Brent goes with them but doesn't drink. He was in jail for a DUI recently.

but evil is my antidrug. While the pope's away the evil will play. I only saw about 10 mintues of the episode (just prior to the fight and during). Maybe it was just a coincidence but during that 10 minutes Brent (and his woman) made half a dozen references to god. Seemed excessive to me.

I also believe in God, but I don't think anyone is predestined to take a beating like that!! I think Brent's lack of punches and Tony's power may have had something to do with the outcome as well. Did anyone else think it was hilarious that after Tony's kids got there he said, "God help Brent Cooper"? I laughed my a$$ off when he said that.

37. "Brent: weakest boxer there" |
LAST EDITED ON 04-04-05 AT 09:52 AM (EST)We discussed Brent's talent a couple of times previously. There is a boxer on the East Coast named Reggie Strickland with a career record of 66-272-17. Losing to Reggie Strickland means that you're a pretender, not a contender. Reggie fought three of the contestants on The Contender. In Sept. 2003, he lost an 8-round unanimous decision to Anthony Bonsante. In both April 1998 (3-round DQ) and March 1999 (6-round decision), he lost to Jonathan Reid. But Brent Cooper? Reggie beat Brent Cooper in a 4-round decision in February 1998, and then they tied in a 4-round rematch in June 1998. Career records versus Reggie Strickland: Anthony 1-0-0 Jonathan 2-0-0 Brent 0-1-1 As a result, many of us have argued right along that Brent was the worst boxer on the show. We didn't see anything last night to shake that belief.

39. "Disagree" |
>The thing the rest of the fighters don't get is that >only one guy stands alone with $1 million at the >end and I doubt that the winner will split the >money with his teammates. The problem with this "logic" is that the winner won't be able to fight a whole diet of Brent Coopers to get to be the winner. Anthony will not be permitted to pick his fight again, so who is he going to beat? Peter, who cleaned his clock two months before The Contender? Ishe, who was the only fighter on the show ranked in the top 10 with ALL FOUR rating bodies (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO)? Jesse, who was ranked in the top 15 by the WBO? Alfonso, who started things off by upsetting Peter? Sergio, who has proven himself in Olympic-style boxing? He's not going to be able to fight the winner of one of the two remaining first-round matches, and they are the only ones he'd have a chance against. All he's done is seal his second-round doom, at the cost of his reputation.

Cooper lost to Strickland LMAO. When Brian Gumbol does a story on Reggie Strickland saying he should no longer be aloud to fight because he is so bad, than you go out and get whooped by strickland, LMAO its time to go get a job stocking shelves. Cooper was not a contender That’s the first post I ever made on these boards.

I agree with some of what you said Ayak. Once they're in the final 8 it is going to be tough. Ishe and Peter, I think, are the best fighters out there. I'm not all that impressed with Jesse or Sergio and Alphonso may have gotten lucky with the win over Peter. Am I saying Tony is going to win it all? Heck no, but so far he's the only boxer that is playing the game. The other thing about Tony is he's got boxing experience. He's probably boxed in at least 10 more fights than any other boxer on the show. Yeah, I'm rooting for him. Do I think he'll win the whole thing? Probably not. Could he make it to the semi finals, he's got a good chance. Only time will tell.

He has no chance of making it to the Semi Finals, there is not a single fighter that has advanced so far that will have any trouble beating him. And for the record he has not faught 10 more fights than any one else on the show, look it up, and if you take away the chumps he has faught his record is 2-4-1. And dont forget Manfredo did not just beat him, he won every round cleanly, and dominated him from start to finish.

LAST EDITED ON 04-04-05 AT 04:52 PM (EST)Well, I'm so glad Jesus made it to the fight to prop up his boy. The dude won't shut up about f***in' Jesus all epsiode, about how Jesus wants him to be The Contender, ends up the first boxer to get KO'd the entire show, then says "I guess it's not God's will" at the end. What a loser. Take some responsibility, #####, you can't substitute one addiction for another and expect to succeed. The prepared don't win fights because God favors the prepared. The prepared win fights because they're prepared. That being said, he didn't get much of a chance to prepare. Tony's not the only guy out there with a kid - and, kid or no kid, taking the easy way out is pretty hard for me to respect. Which is difficult b/c, otherwise, he's such a likeable, sincere guy. And, facing the easiest guy or not, he's one hell of a boxer. He might be the one to win this thing. I'd really like to see Juan fight.

On what do you base he is a decent fighter? Who has he ever beaten? Boxing is a sport that requires you to beat somebody to be somebody. The best fighter he has ever fought is Manfredo who has also never really beaten anyone. And Manfredo did not just beat him, he whooped him silly. I agree with you 100% that the family aspect is nice, I would not mind if they went to a 2 show a week platform, first show is an introduction to the fights and the second is the fight. But I guess that would be asking allot.

FarwestChips- And who has Joey fought? He's had only 8 fights I believe and I'm sure they weren't all against quality opponents. I realize that Cooper was very inferior but you can't tell me that Tony is not at least a decent boxer...I mean he absolutely tore Cooper apart, unlike any boxer so far in the show. That said, do I think he could beat Manfredo or Ishe? I kinda doubt it. But in a five round fight anything can happen because there is no room for error. That goes for any boxer there, including a guy like Joey who has very little experience. You never know when Lady Luck is involved.

One thing that nobody's brought up is the fact that Tony comes out of this fight in great shape physically -- certainly much better than Manfredo, who already has fought twice and looked pretty battered after last week. So I think it was good strategy -- just over two rounds of work and Tony didn't have a mark on him, so he's that much more ready to go the next time. anyone know how far apart the fights are?
