Walter “Two Guns” Wright of the gold team scored a unanimous decision over Andre Eason Tuesday night on ESPN2’s“The Contender” series. All three judges gave Wright every round.

Eason was knocked down in the first round. He managed to get up, but his wild flailing style allowed Wright to hit him, pretty much, at will. Both teams have had two fighters eliminated and two moving on.
