“The Contender” - Steve Forbes First Member of Final Four

posted by Kathleen Holland on August 30, 2006, in The Contender

Steve “Two Pound” Forbes became the first member of “The Contender” final four when he beat Nick Acevedo by split decision in a five round welterweight bout, the first bout of the quarterfinals. The fight started out with action from both competitors and was back and forth through the third round.

Acevedo became very tired in the third round after he attacked Forbes with a barrage of punches that left Forbes stunned. Forbes took quite a bit of punishment in the third round, but was able to recover and controlled the fourth and fifth rounds to take the victory by split decision.

Next up on “The Contender” Cornelius K-9 Bundrage takes on Walter Wright in a highly anticipated bout. Friction between the two participants has been brewing and we can expect to see fierce competition when they step into the ring next Tuesday AT 9:00 P.M. ET on ESPN.

The championship bout will be held Tuesday, September 26 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. It will be telecast live on ESPN. Tickets are on sale and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com.
