.: ~CONTENDER updates~ :.
We’ve come to the third round of the contender..with 4 contenders left, the next two fights will be much more interesting!! Yey!
Last Monday was the beginning of the Contender’s ‘semifinal’..this week, we got to witness the rematch between Alfonso and Peter..rematch? if u remember, Alfonso and Peter had fought before..it was the first match, 13 weeks back, the match that introduced the show to the world..and the one that successfully grabbed my attention and gathered my interest to consistently follow the show everyweek..that time, Alfonso was representing the West team while Peter was in the East team..Peter was the one with fantastic record, 21-0..while Alfonso, was the underdog..he was the smallest among the other 15 gentlemen..Peter on the other hand, was in good package..good record, perfect body size. .Alfonso’s victory against Peter was a big surprised..who would expect Peter to loose?He was in a great shape!Alfonso proved that he was no joke.. Brilliant underdog I must say ;p
The loss to the underdog was a nightmare to Peter..his confident seemed to be less and less for every tear he cried..poor Peter..he was lucky that he was brought back into the competition due to Jeff’s health issue..to the fact that he made it into the final 4, Peter sure had made the most of his second chance..[go Peter!]..and last Monday, Peter had a better chance to make up his loss as his wish to have a rematch with Alfonso was granted!
Like any other rounds before, the third round offers no-less excitement..but instead of the usual 5-round, it has increased to 7..nice!the rematch between Alfonso and Peter was intriguing..i wont describe in detail here as I liked both them very much..for the first time, I could not make up my mind on who’s to choose ;( both have their own charm..
The fight was balance with each contender countered their opponent’s attack, one after another..Peter fought hard..so did Alfonso..but most of the solid punches were made by Peter..at round-6, it was obvious that Peter would have win..to see the badly swollen face of Alfonso, with all the bruises, was terrifying..but that is the nature of boxing..although Alfonso loss, he should be proud to make it to the final 4..and to me, he is a true fighter..a brilliant underdog..
Well Peter made it to the final..who will be the opponent? Jeng3..all I can say is, it depends on Sergio and Jesse..who I favor? Hehe another tough question..Sergio is splendid in keeping himself away from opponent’s attack..while Jesse, he really can stand punches!!hoh gile tough Jesse ni..keep in mind that he defeated Tony by knockout last time..will he do that again next week.. Tune in AXN, Monday, 9pm ;p
