This season is good because of some KO'S, there was like 1KO between both seasons combined.

Sick KO in the first week, i wont give away the winner for those who have seen it.

Highlight this is you wanna know the winner: CODRINGTON TKO 2

I cant wait to see that fight full with Tessitore and Atlas calling it.

They didnt edit it NEARLY as much, the sound effect are much quieter in a good way, and the fight was awsome.

Codrington is very very vulnerable early.

I didnt like Season 2 at all and stopped watching it, and season 1 was okay, but this one is really good. Im gonna continue watchin it until the end

i really like this seasonbecause i know of jaidon codrington and paul smith.. but i think the second season was better in drawing its audience in. it went straight to the michael clark and k9 rivalry and ended with the huge k9 upset. this season started with that spark testing, had a lot of obvious fake promoting, and i didnt think codrington was that good at talking/hyping his fight up

This season is better because there are better fighters, keep in mind KBall, the reason they showed more of the fight is becasue the fight only went 2 rounds.
I thought the beginning was bull****, and they should have let all 16 guys fight.

What happened so far??

Some of the editing both in and outside of the ring still bothers me, but yes its much better. I like the fact that they are actually showing sparring and training. The drama is still there, but its at a minimum.

as much of a boxing fan I am, I have never watched any of "The Contender" shows. Am I missing out or should I stick to watching championship level boxing?

I'm surprised that Vera got KO'd by Codrington. I only say this because Vera hung in 8 or 10 rounds (however many there were) against hard punching Samuel Miller (the guy who had that GREAT fight against Darrell Woods early this year), without getting KO'd.

EDIT: Shane Mosley looks like a total tool when he is excited. When they show him in crowd right before the fight... wtf.

Mike Dee I would recomend watching it this year... You have world class fighters (Sam Soliman, Sakio Bika), contenders (Jaidon, Paul Smith), and some young guys (Max Alexander, David Banks)... should be a good tournament... there is a new wrinkle this year also, even if you win your first fight you are not guaranteed to move on... you have to win convincingly to go to the semis

**Sin City** · 09-12-2007, 12:22 AM

it would take more then half the show to show the entire fight and in between rounds.. no matter what they are gonna have to chop it, its a great show, quit complaining
