Ok now excuse me fellas I know this topic may or may not have been brought up before maybe not in the way I am about to discuss it maybe it was but either way please forgive me. I watched the season where Forbes was on the contender and didn't watch the prior season or anyhing there after until this season. I have pretty much seen every episode this season thus far and I noticed something. It was said by Tony Danza last night as well. The fighters do not seem to be listening to the trainers at all this season. They are not paying attention to them in the corners or while they are yelling instructions ot them in the ring.
Last night Wilson was throwin ghis jab and his over hand right and everytime Ehno was ducking down in a prime position for his upper cut. The trainer told him in the corner throw the jab when he crouches down rip up the middle and it is lights out. He nodded his head and more of the same Wilson swinging wide and Ehno catching him with hooks. Ehno's trainer told him to throw the straight right hand to which he responded the hooks arent missing him....lol but at least Ehno listened in the last round and the hardest punch landed all fight was a straight right hand from Ehno.
I have watched the show and I enjoy it seeing these unknown fighters trying to get exposer they wouldnt normally get and seeing some decent matches this season. The Cruiser weight division is fun and exciting the guys are agile enough to move around an dbig enough to end the fight with one punch. I was wondering why there arent more tounament televised like this on TV. This just proves that these guys don't have to be brand name fighters for you to connect with them and enjoy watching them fight. I was a little bit disappointed in Wilson talking all that smack and then getting beat pretty easily in a 5-0 shut out.
I was asking myself I wonder how this show does in the rating and if anyone else on the boxing scene site is watching this as intently as I am. i think this is very good for the sport and I hope they continue this series for years to come. I will make sure I try not to miss any episodes this season and pay attention to some of these fighters careers even after contender series is over. Oh by the way fellas anyone have any thoughts on who they see as the favorite at this point.....Lefty
