Steve “Two Pound” Forbes scored a unanimous decision over Cornelius “K-9” Bundrage in a five round welterweight semi-final bout to become the first finalist in “The Contender” tournament, and Grady “Bad Boy” Brewer won by majority decision against Norberto Bravo in an extremely close five round welterweight match that could have gone either way. Forbes and Brewer will compete in the finale at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California next Tuesday, September 26 at 10:00 P.M. for the championship and a grand prize of $500,000.

The fight of the night and maybe even of the tournament was the bout between Brewer and Bravo. These two warriors gave it their all and exchanged constant barrages of punches, never letting up. The bout was so close and there was so much action that it was hard to score the fight. Brewer was the ultimate winner.

Forbes came out a little slow and gave up the first round, but he stepped up in the second round and was able to do enough against an aggressive K-9 to win the fight by unanimous decision, even though the bout was close. K-9 showed a lot of heart but the look on his face seemed to be one of shock at the Judge’s decision.

Each and every participant in “The Contender” showed a lot of heart and a great desire to win the tournament. Unfortunately there can only be one winner, but really each fighter who participated in the show was a winner. They gave the public some great boxing, drama and a real escape into the wonderful world of boxing and showed the world what true athletes they are. The shows were full of excitement and had the audience looking forward to the next installment.

The finale promises to be an exciting evening of boxing. The bout will be broadcast live on ESPN beginning at 10:00 P.M. on Tuesday, September 26. Tickets are on sale and can be purchased at Tickermaster.com.
