The Contender - Jaidon Codrington vs Brian Vera : Pick The Winner

[jaycuban]

Pick the winner, by points or Ko

[WhataRock]

Codrington via points

[jaycuban]

I like Codrington but i dont know Vera is a pretty good hitter and i saw the Codrington vs Allan Green fight and his chin looked pretty soft.

Im going with Brian Vera just to go for the underdog

[teekay00]

i want vera to win but he wont

[PJD3]

Codrington UD or even KO if he has the punch.
Vera is strong but doesn't have good ko power from the fighters I have seen him face and not the greatest defence when coming foward.
He does throw a descent amount of punches but he leans forward too much and has had trouble with guys who have ok boxing skills.

[brooklyn1550]

Codrington UD

[jaycuban]

that firsrt round was good for both, jaidon steped it up at the end.

[PJD3]

Oh Yah my brother reminded me he never throws the jab from the last fight we saw

[Zakman]

If this guys hits Codrington on that chin, the glass will shatter.

[jaycuban]

wow, he took it to him and look, the first ko of the show.

[PJD3]

I felt the kid was protected and giving too many gifts in his hometown.
BUT he can change that he has time.. I kind of feel he is too one dimentional though, and his style is just him, thats how he is going to fight regardsless.
But I have been wrong before.

[markbrooklyn]

Jaidon by vicious TKO!

[wechson]

Jaidon by vicious TKO!

Damn, Jaidon looked good. And he did get hit pretty hard with that uppercut. Liked how he put Vera through the ropes. Like he's trying to erase a ghost.

[jaycuban]

vera at first was doing pretty good, but he didnt stick to the game plan, and jaidon did... that was the difference in the fight

[KO Boxing]

If this guys hits Codrington on that chin, the glass will shatter.
:lol: :patsch

[TheGrimReaper]

neither of them looked good at all to me

[AmazingHook]

Well, Vera got KO'D! Good luck in the future.

[PJD3]

Great! All my friends and boxing buddies from Austin are calling and emailing me shit for not going with vera. :blackeye
And these are some of the same guys who saw him fight before and knew he getting hometown gifts when the other guy won. :rosstheboss
Vera lost and UT is lose it just the truth.
I not going to to say either is good or has skills when facing some who does.
NOT WITH BOXING.
Use you head and follow with your heart.:bbb

[wechson]

neither of them looked good at all to me

Jaidon KO'd him within 2 rounds? What's not to like about that?

[iceman]

Codrington UD or even KO if he has the punch.

Man, you know your shit,good prediction

I wanted Vera to win due to all the bullshit JC was spewing out but he did show some class after the fight

I still think a bigger puncher than Vera would have put Coddrington on his ass.

true, he did give some pretty good predictions

[TheGrimReaper]

brian vera is no roy jones, codrington knocking him out doesnt impress me at all. if he knocked out saiko id be impressed

[Zakman]

I still think a bigger puncher than Vera would have put Coddrington on his ass.

Bingo. Before all is said and done, somebody else is gonna crack that china chin.:yep

[PJD3]

I saw him fight few times live and saw him work out in the same gym I was in before in the last 3 years and I saw somethings I felt he was going to change or progresse in, and I keep seeing fight on undercards and he really did not change too many things other than his conditioning (it's good) and then he was getting hometown gifts in some shameful hometown judging.
I was thinking well something is going to change that on way or the other.
That style is only going to go so far.:boxing2

[IntentionalButt]

Jaidon KO'd him within 2 rounds? What's not to like about that?

He didn't control distance well in the 1st at all, and he threw alot of wild punches in both rounds.

[natep]

I like Codrington but i dont know Vera is a pretty good hitter and i saw the Codrington vs Allan Green fight and his chin looked pretty soft.

Yo man, no offence but those were some massive left hooks Allan Green threw. The one that knocked him out was brutal as hell and would have just about everyone at 168 down.

[PJD3]

True, watching that punch land made my ear ring.
I rather take 6 shots of Everclear that take those shots.:admin

[rvk2007]

Yeah man Jaidon is the shit. I told you he was gonna starch all these guys and he's already got one victim. Jaidon will win this easily.

[magnum]

So when's the full fight being shown on ESPN?

[wechson]

So when's the full fight being shown on ESPN?

I think I read after next weeks fight. I guess that makes sense now, given that this week's only went 1.5 rounds.

[Maxime]

My God Jaidon's entourage looked like a bunch of monkeys. :lol:

Someone need to shut that woman up. :patsch

Oh and Jaidon didnt look too good in that fight. :D

[IntentionalButt]

So when's the full fight being shown on ESPN?

I'm pretty sure that was a rumor and they're not actually doing it that way. They did show the full fight on the broadcast uncut, except certain 'high-drama' moments were decelerated into slow-motion for effect. The music wasn't as bad either - mostly tribal beats mixed in low enough that you could actually hear leather hitting skin (none of the fake "whooomp" sound effects from previous seasons :yep) - but still a little annoying.

They're showing the fights unedited 12:30 am on the Thursday two weeks after the reality portion aired. Thus, they'll be showing the first few unedited fights on Sept 21 at 12:30 on ESPN2.

No the full fight will be on ESPN 2 tonight.
I see. What's going to be different, just the lack of slo-mo and music? Or do they have better, more traditional camera angles? There didn't seem to be any gaps in the footage they showed, seemed to be the full round and a half.

[jaycuban]

I like Siko Bika to win it, he looks really strong, and looks like he has skills aswell, but Alexander looks like he can fight aswell.

[AmazingHook]

You sure about that?? If that's so who told you that?
