WTF up with the contender 5 round sissy bouts?!

[Konstantin]

Um when I saw Juan fight I was not impressed at all. It looked like he threw all his skills out the window and just went headhunting.

Hate to be the odd man out here, but I dont care for the show much. It's too dramatized, and so much of it seems fake. I'm just disappointed with the way they are doing the thing in general....and I waited a long time for it to air.

[The Pretender]

Why?!!

Honestly dude, you're not making sense here.
The fact that they're fighting 5 x 3 min. bouts has absolutely NOTHING to do with how they'll do once they fight outside of the show's format. Infact, the vast majority of the contestants have already fought in 10 - 12 rounds contests before being picked for the show. Jesse Brinkley, Peter Manfredo,Anthony Bonsante, Ishe Smith, Salamci, Lange, Farza... hell, Johnathan Reid for William Joppy for a world title. These guys ARE "real pros", they're not begining clubfighters.

Well then I wish they'd fight like it. I was only impressed by Ishe, Ahmed, and Anthony. The rest looked like they could barely keep up the pace and asleep on their feet by the 5th rounds. If they are real pros, why not fight 10 ~ 12 rd bouts then?

Where did they find the rest of these guys? Juan fought like a ***** and dipped out like one.

One thing I hate about the show is they throw up all of the time...*you think he can last the whole 5* when majority of these guys are fighting 8 rounds as a minimum....I realize it is to make the show more intriguing but it is just annoying...Sly acts like he doesnt know ****....Possibly True?

I still like the show.

Gotta be true. Sly doesn't deserve to stand on the same hallowed ground as Sugar. Sly's boxing resume consists of "fighting" Mr T and Dolph Lundgren in special effects, both of whom would have beat the tar out of him in a real fight! They should have picked a real boxing legend to stand opposite Sugar.

I agree...what happened to the other boxing show that I thought Fox was going to air opposite Contender?

The Next Great Champ...it was done a few months ago and the winner of that goes to my gym

Sylvester Stallone is a boxing icon, yes never fought pro, but he's soooo famous cuz of rocky, and to tell u the truth I most likely wouldn't have been boxing if it werent for that movie...

Sylvester Stallone may have changed my life forever
Sly knocked out Mr. T and Ivan Drago so his got big names on his resumer to!

GO ROCKY!!!!!!

lol
I think they should leave the training advice to the trainers and sugar ray...

I saw him tryin to show Manfredo somethin like his the real rocky haahahhaha!

but Sly is the man!

#2. I know SOOOOOOOOo many people watchin the show that aint boxing fans, hell i know some people that started boxing ever since watchin that show...all cuz of SLY

Fair enough. I admit I find it the most interesting reality show I've seen in a long time. I actually look forward to every new week. The beating Anthony gave that cowboy guy pissed me off though. It seemed so one-sided. I hope Ishe or Joey wins it all.

mmm they got a time fram dude
they cant do 12 rounds
even only highlight for 12 rounds is too much
