Sergio Mora.

After watching the first episode of The Contender the other night and seeing Sergio Mora for the first time in a couple of months since the night Manfredo was robbed of clear victory, I got to thinking. I seen in The RING magazine which is behind schedule here in the UK (like, we get a magazine dated "September" in July but it talks about news from March etc). Well I see Sergio Mora beat some punk up, and then there's talk (maybe just rumours) of him fighting for a version of the world title. Well I was thinking, if Sergio does get a shot at a meaningful world title and not just something like NBA, IBA etc, or even if he fights the RING champion at middleweight, what will that mean for the Contender series? The genuine credibility etc in you peoples opinions.

true true, but I like Ebo Elder, his fight with Courtney Burton was just great ! Yeah I like Ebo too. And I think Steve Forbes is at least a contender. I see him as a better welterweight than Mora will ever be at MW

nobody on contender is champion material from that show...mora probably couldnt beat william joppy or howard eastman

Yeah how marketable will he be once the 0 goes. Mora wouldn't even be in the mix for JT if they had scored his rematch with Manfredo properly.

The first contender had real prospects (Mora, Manfredo, Smith etc.)... This contender has no young fighters that make me want to fuck my wife...they are all journeyman and c/b level brawlers-which is gonna make for some good tv but in terms of getting a REAL contender fans can get excited about...soryy aint happening. Back to Mora...I love it he beats shark attack and now he is gonna fight Taylor...prmoters better look at that jump in class a bit closer otherwise Mora who is super marketable now may lose a lot of his luster.

If it wasnt for The CONTENDER Mora would not even be known. He's not even top 10 material IMO, hell he's not even top 15. He seems like an ok guy but he's not strong enough to compete at 160. He's not gonna hurt anyone in that weight class. If he fights Taylor , he will be broken in half. :cool:

mora's a punk and a limited fighter. he wont get far. but in this weak MW division, he might get farther than i want him to.

well if he does do that i think that alot of people will change there views on the show. i mean for sure some of the fighters on tehre arent pro material, but theres those few couple that make it to the end. if sergio does do that it will be a big step up for the show.
