My friends and I have been saying for a long time that we wish they'd tell us the scores.

Too much footage of the girlfriend complaining about the holding. She made me go from neutral to rooting against Walter.

So true! Her screeching was getting on my last nerve. I wasn't a big fan of Walter's to begin with, so I wasn't sorry to see him go. He was too sure of himself considering the last guy he fought was one he chose for being the least threatening.

Knowing nothing about boxing, I didn't understand what that referee kept complaining about. I thought it was common for these guys to latch onto each other during a fight. They do it often enough.

Kind of a mixed bag this week. Looks like ESPN needed the double header fights in order get get 3 (maybe 4) good rounds out of the 10.

None of those good rounds came in the first fight. Did someone forget to tell Michael Stewart that he was fighting that night? I guess hoping to land the big knock out punch is a strategy, but it sure looks bad when it doesn't work out. Even I had the score 50-45 in favor of Gary Brewer. It wasn't even that close.

I liked both the fighters in the second fight, so I just got to sit back and watch. Gary looked good for the first half of the first round and then seemed to lose focus. He was mentally done by the end of the 4th round and really didn't seem too interested in going out for the fifth. The 2 judges that had it 49-46 probably got it right. The other judge was 48-47, but still in favor of Bravo.

Another double header next week. I like the pace of the show with the double headers. Seems like they should do double headers in the first round, but the producers probably want to get the guys as much exposure as they can each week.

The Forbes/Bundrage fight is the one I'm more interested in. I think Forbes has the advantage, but I'm rooting for K-9 to win.

Brewer/Bravo should be interesting too. I don't know what to expect from Brewer after last night sparring match. Brewer was looking good in his first fight before he hot hit with an accidental head butt, so maybe he is that good. I'll be rooting for Bravo, but not by much.

All 4 of the finalists seem like good guys. I think a K-9/Bravo final would make for good TV.

I'm looking forward to a Forbes/Bravo final myself, but any of the guys will do a good job. I'm the least enamoured of K9 because I didn't like his fighting style.

I didn't expect too much more from Michael, as I thought he got to the second round because of a lucky punch. I think he waited again for that opportunity, but it didn't present itself.

I like Forbes over K-9. And the Brewer/Bravo bout is going to be something else. Brewer has really impressed me with his skill, but Bravo definitely has the most heart. If it comes down to who wants it more...it's Bravo's Championship.

Yeah, I think Forbes will beat K-9. I want Bravo to win, but Brewer was so impressive last night. It's hard to hit a moving target when its moving that fast. It'll be close.

i think bravo is agile enough to keep up with brewer so the quickness isn't going to be as much of a fact as it was with stewart - stewart would have been better matched against someone like balletto. it's all about the match up.

k-9 and forbes will be interesting, one would think forbes should win this fight because he is by far the better boxer. however k9's style (whether you like it or not) can turn the tables on a dime - watch to see how forbes handles k9. that is the key to the win - if k9's style gets to forbes head, k9 could steal the fight.

bravo takes brewer
forbes takes k9

forbes is the champion

I love this show and looking forward to tonight's fight. I'm giving Forbes an edge to win but Brewer might pull it off. Hope we get to see more than just this one fight.

I'm picking Forbes to win and Bravo for 3rd place, just like Ladytex. Brewer has surprised me in every fight, so maybe he will do that again tonight.

I honestly am hard pressed to pick a winner between Forbes and Brewer. Both have been impressive, and I think it's going to be a heckuva fight. Whoever wins will deserve it. I almost have to give the edge to Brewer because of the way he beat Bravo last week. Bravo took a lot of punches.

another shocker ... I expected a better fight from Forbes ... or is Grady just that good? Grady definitely deserved his championship tonight, congrats to him.
