I knew that Gilbert and Dave would end up fighting. This should be good. They have so much tension between each other.I can't believe Otis wants to fight Mince again this could be a huge mistake,but then again Mince could still be tired from the last fight and not do as well as last time.

Xena, you were so right about David and Gil's fight. David is 3-0 and undefeated so he really isnt a joke.I wanted Gil to win but he lost his focus and just like Rene last week wanted to just mano e mano, street fight.David stayed very focused with his awkward style.Give him credit, he is mobile and can be defensive oriented when he needed to do so.He also carries some power in his punching abilities.
The best fight for me was Otis redeeming himself
against Jimmy Mince. Jimmy had skills and a lot of heart but he didnt have the stamina nor the will to win the fight tonite.Otis will have to have a totally different fight to beat David. David is mobile,strong, and so far without any fear of fighting.He does have an awkward style but he can box and punch.For Otis to win i think he has to above all else stay focused on attacking Davids weaknesses and protecting against his weaknesses.
Otis has a habit of not maintaining balance when he throws punches and reaching with his jab which leaves him open for counter punches,hooks and straight right hands.I would like to see him throw more 3-4 punch combinations within a good distance to David ending each series with a left hook or uppercut if David bends and leans in to get away from those combination punches. I hope he stays focused and KO's David.It wont be an easy fight.It will be the interesting to see who wants this chance the most David or Otis.What do you all think?

I think David will win. But I have yet to be right about any winner on a reality show LOL

I actually like David. I still miss Fred, I wish he hadn't quit. Its ironic he quit because Otis was hounding him, & if he hadn't quit, Otis would not be back & made it to the finals

I agree potted plant.I would have loved to see David against Backman. I think it would have been a more competetive fight than David vs Otis.

Dont feel too bad about not picking winners on reality shows because i'm in the same boat.LOL..LOL.

I agree with you Carlito and potted plant.Your right, Mince could have made it with a little more heart. I think David has been pretty lucky this whole competition. I think he will win unless Otis steps it up and suprises us again.

Pottedplant,I thought the fight was a closer fight than it needed to be because both fighters were nervous and tight the first few rounds.Neither fighter did much damage to the other fighter. What made you think David had the better fight?
Since there was no way to count punches landed by the fighters you had to judge based on what you saw.My take was that Otis won a close fight only because he landed more effective punches than David.The punches David threw landed but he did not land enough to win.His corner kept telling him to throw more punches but Otis was doing a better job of counter punching than David and thats why he didnt throw more punches. Both were equally agressive at times during the fight and both were sloppy with all the holding and leaning
on each other.
I kept waiting to see if David would take advantage of Otis' mistakes of punching and droping his head but he didnt.He did try a few times but couldnt connect.David had the reach i thought and he should have used his jab a lot more effectively to box Otis and he might have won. What do you all think?

I am the first to admit that I do not know how boxing is scored, I am a newcomer to watching it, but enjoying it.

I just thought David landed more punches. I have it on tape, I will re watch it & see if my opinion changes.

I am looking forward to seeing the fight on Dec 3rd.

Griffin-Sanchez called off!

Saturday, December 4 2004


A fight between light heavyweights Otis "Triple O.G." Griffin and Alfonso Sanchez did not take place after it was learned Sanchez was not a former Spanish Olympian as had been represented. The bout, which was to be a free TV event taking place at the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, was to be for a specially created WBO belt. Griffin is the winner of Oscar De La Hoya's "The Next Great Champ" reality series in which the victor earned a contract with Golden Boy Prom
