    holy crap, a great "The Contender" episode

    Holy crap! Did you guys see Joey Gilbert's cut? It's almost worse than Vitali's cut against Lewis. And to make matters worse, his ribs were broken. You can see Joey's ribs almost popping out of his body when he was walking during the end.

    And when the paramedics say was gonna take him to the E.R., he said he'd rather walk than go into the stretcher. That made me almost teary-eyed. What a great episode!

    I almost hang my gloves and say this **** was fake but when I saw tonight's episode, I was like wait a minute, this **** could be real.

      I agree. Great Episode. My wife cries during each episode at some point. Can't wait for next week, the teaser about 'most shocking ending yet' really has me wondering.

          I was skeptical of this show but after watching a few episodes, its pretty good.

            What do you mean by that? Were you wondering if the entire show was fake or real up to this point? Because if your lost, you should know, it's real. It's reality TV, it's the biggest new surge on tv shows, and as crazy as they make stuff look, it is...real. REAL-ITY

              It was good. I'm interested to see the actual score cards though. You can never really tell what's going on with all the edits.

                I don't know, man. It's like every fight is FOTY candidate, especially with regards to the see-saw action. When a fighter gets dominated completely, all of a sudden, he comes back and make a rally of his own. Every episode is like that and I think they make it closer than it appears to be. It's good editing, I tell ya, but I will always have my doubts until I see the actual fights unedited.

                    I hope they put out the DVD box set of the season that shows the 'whole' fight during each episode.
