They show the full fights now seperately, and theres some exciting matchups possible

I say rubin williams takes the whole tournament.

But a new face to boxing would be good for the sport but either way, williams is my pick.

To answer the thread question: No, I'm not excited at all. "The Contender" tries to make boxing something that it's not, by editing the fights. Sorry, but I'm not interested in watching "Rocky-esche" fights...

I know what you're saying. They are showing the fights in their entirety this time though, unedited. Hopefully that improves things.

Defently some very exciting possible match ups to be made. This contender really is about boxing contenders.

Don't suppose I can get this on Sopcast? What was the channel again, ESPN?

[Boxer149]

I think this year's show should be much better in general because of the fighters and trainers.. I'm going with Codrington as well but I think he's got good competition with guys like Bika and Soliman... Should be interesting.

Kind of worried Stallone and company screw it up. I hope they dispensed with the sound effects too.

Actually they are doing the regular show, they will replay the full fights on espn2, that's what was said.

oh **** forgot its on tonight lol
im watchin it

Sam Soliman is gonna take this because they are 5 round fights. In 12 round fights he usually throws 100 punches a round. In a format like this he will probably throw 300 punches a round. I would also put my money on Sakio Bika going far, he is a tough SOB.

Who do you thinks gunna win and who do u want 2 win???

I'm sayin JAIDON CODRINGTON

Jaidon Codrington is a JOKE, he easily has the worst chin out of the 16. Allan Green KO'd him in 16 SECONDS.
