    Who do you got to win these fights? Who do you want to win these fights???

    I want Grady to win only because people disrespected him before his fight against Vinroy...but i hate his annoying wife

    Bravo and Baletto? That one is hard. Both guys are very likeable. it sucks that somebody has to lose

    I definitely want Grady to win for the same reason. Baletto over Bravo.

    I wish K-9 didnt have to face 2-pounds just yet. I really like both

    Grady is the old guy, I gotta root for him being one myself.

    Bravo is the best story on the show, but I think Baletto's reach will prove to be too much.

    I'm so happy Walter Wright's punk ass is gone. :)

    Steve Forbes will win it all but I hope someone knocks his wife the F out.

    Forbes is really, really good. But I wouldn't bet against Bravo...the kid has heart, I can't help but root for him.

    And ditto on Forbes' wife...she annoys the heck outta me too.

    i liked walter wright. i hated him at first but then k9 got annoying after a while, and he became the less humble fighter out of the two

    Maybe he reminds me too much of a guy I know.

    yeah same here, what happened to that guy? k9 was the underdog to root for, but all of a sudden the show of the fight he won't stop barking and talkin mess. pretty disappointing.

    def pulling for grady, but like everyone else bravo vs baletto is a tough pick. bravo is all heart, and there's just no reason to cheer againt baletto, who seems to be a really good guy.

    ah hell, i'm goin with bravo.

    yeah im thinking that im giong for bravo also. baletto and bravo are both really good guys. seems like bravo had a financially rough childhood b/c of how he always talks about how he wants his kid to have it better life than he did. he might need the money more than baletto...but then again baletto probably is broke/straight outta the ghetto too just like almost every boxer.....i just dont remember his story...haha

    No doubt. I have no respect for K9 anymore, the guy won the last fight dirty; he kept holding Walter so that it wouldn't be a boxing match and ruined the fight AFAIC. Walter was and still is a much better boxer than K9, he has so much skill and is a treat to watch. However, these bouts are scored differently and the whole way 'The Contender' works doesn't necessarily promote the better fighter.

    IMO, the Wright vs. K9 bout was very close and tough to score, I honestly thought that it could've swung either way, and no one would've complained.

    wow i can't believe stewart didn't even put up a fight, it was almost kinda pathetic. but this bravo/baletto fight is making up for it.....i've got bravo up 2-1 after the third round, anyone else?

    No doubt, Stewart got owned and dominated in every single round...it's the first fight that has been this one-sided (Well, may be the fight with Ebo and Wright qualifies).

    As for this bout, Bravo is clearly the better boxer. Balletto's boxing skills -- his whole mechanism really -- is lacking to say the least. Easy win for Bravo.

    I picked Grady and Bravo to advance.

    Now I pick Forbes VS Bravo in the Finals.

    Everyone that I wanted to win tonight won. I don't really care to much for Grady but I think that other dude is annoying. I hate hearing him talk. I don't even think he should be this far, just got lucky against Ebo.

    I'm glad Bravo won also, he's one of my favorites. I like his attitude and how he's about the family (yes I know most of them are as well.)

    Does suck that someone has to lose though, I feel bad for them, lol
