Jesse Brinkley was my favorite "The Contender" fighter

[Las Vegas boxing guy]

I just came across Jesse Brinkley (35-7, 22 KO's) on Boxrec records. I recall always rooting for him when he competed. Win or lose he consistently brought exemplary effort. Brinkley's career highlight was a 12 round decision over Curtis Stevens, however if you take a look at his resume (below) you'll see that he had quite an interesting career.

What are your respectful thoughts on Jesse Brinkley?

Alfonso Gomez for me, the very first episode he called out favourite Manfredo and got the W

Jesse Brinkley fought up near my hometown a few times & was a beast! Built a bit of a hometown following.
Seeing Jim rewarded with such big attention on national TV was cool.
He had 2 very big wins over Cleveland Corder, though not a huge name outside of Idaho but was a big favorite leading into the first event.
