"The Contender" - Brewer Sends Barrett Home

posted by Kathleen Holland on August 9, 2006, in The Contender

Grady “Bad Boy” Brewer (20-11, 12 KOs) of the blue team scored a unanimous decision over Vinroy “Slick” Barrett (21-6, 11 KOs) in the fifth installment of “The Contender” Tuesday night. The five round welterweight bout was dominated by Brewer, according to the Judges scorecards, which were 49-46, 49-46 and 48-47, even after a head butt caused a cut over his right eye in the third round. Barrett countered with some good shots, but he was unable to handle Brewer's style. The blue team now leads the gold team 3-2.

“The Contender” is an unscripted reality series highlighting 16 welterweight fighters who are vying for “The Contender” championship and the grand prize of $500,000. The participants were divided into two teams, blue and gold, and live together, train together and eventually fight each other. One fighter is eliminated each week and one moves on to the semi-final round. The championship bout is scheduled for September 26 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and will be telecast live on ESPN2.

“The Contender” is produced by Mark Burnett Productions, Dreamworks and ESPN and is telecast each Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET.
