they just preveiwed the new season and it looks like they did not change it one bit. From the preview it looks like it the sdame slow mo footage with those load bangs. I most likley be wrong and i hope so because the real fights would look better then the cut up footage
I dunno about breezing thru the show. Ebo is a great fighter, no doubt, I've seen him in person a few times and met him and is a great guy. But he is a lightweight making the jump to Welterweight. I dunno about the other guys on the show, but if they are natural welterweights, or even bigger guys dropping weight, then it shouldnt be a walkthrough.
Then again, Alfonso Gomez proved that theory wrong last season. I dunno about the rest of the cast, but right now, I'm rooting for Ebo.
ya your probly right about being a breeze i didnt even consider hes making the weight jump and now i know steve forbes is also gonna be on the show it should be a little bit tougher than i anticipated for him but he probly the most seasoned,as for rooting for him i will definatly ive liked him since the first time ive seen him fight hes a warrior,did you ever see him fight courtney burton?? great fuckin fight.....
i'm a big contender fan and hope they keep it just the way it was... there's are already plenty of regular boxing shows on TV, where you can see unedited fights... but there's nothing else like the contender... the contender's focus on drama and the fighters, which has made it wildly popular... i hope they dont change it
damn i was just gonna make a thread about the contender 2 but i was gonna bring up the new fighters i dont know if you guys are familliar with ebo elder but i think i caught a glimpse of him at the end if thats the case he should be able to breeze through the show.....

One thing I would add about the show is that its was hyped as a staging ground for the best up and coming fighters around the Middle weight divisions.
If that was the case where are 90% of them now?
I know Manfredo is doing OK, Mora seems to be enjoying his winnings, what about the others, Gilbert, Gomez, Brinkley, Bonsante etc.
I heard Gilbert was fighting Lange again but.....obviously we wont hear much living in Europe!

you sure iam sure alot of people watch the ultamite fighter and they show full fights. The contendor season 1 was good not becuase of the edited fights but the back story of every fighter. If they show the eral fights not only would it be more entertaining but would use alot of time. Iam sure some fights will be boring but just look at the ultimate fighter are every single of there fights entertaining.
