For the second straight season, a Contender champion was crowned by way of knockout. Last season, it was Sakio Bika outbombing Jaidon Codrington to take the crown in what became a high-runner up for 2007 Fight of the Year honors. [details]

Cool, he can fight whoever the WBO champion is, get KTFO in 2 rounds and fade into obscurity!
Gotta love the contender -
bull**** stoppage...
hino's arm got caught in the rope.... He was winning the fight at that point.....
At worst he should have been given a standing 8 count.....Comment

It was alright. It was a lot better once they got down to the semi-finals and finals, because it meant less screen time for Tony Danza and less time for the nonsense shenanigans that go on in the dorm room.
The show has long run its course, though. I can't imagine there being another season.Comment

You're kidding right? "His arm got caught in the rope"? He was hugging the rope like he was 5 and it was his favorite blanket!
It was unfortunate the fight had to end that way, but Smoger didn't have a choice (and he is the LAST guy who will stop a fight too early). But Hino basically surrendered on the ropes with his back to the ring and was taking shots without defending himself. If he wanted to collect himself, he should've taken a knee, not tried to hide in the corner. And IIRC there was a "no standing 8 count" rule in effect.Comment

It was a good stoppage, Smoger didn't have any choice.
He didn't have his arm caught in the ropes, he turned into the ropes because he couldn't do anything else. He was out on his feet, unable to throw back or defend himself with his hands which were down by his sides.Comment
