holy crap, a great "The Contender" episode

Awesome fight. I really don't have a problem with Peter moving on, even if he didn't deserve it..with the injuries that Joey received, he wouldn't be able to compete anyways..

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

Yea, me too, I hope there is a DVD set, let's just hope they make it! Did they make one for DE LA CHOCHA's I mean Hoya's The Next Great Chump?

I'm hoping The Contender is doing better in ratings than The Next Great Chump. The Next Great Champ was moved to a different channel (though still a fox channel) before the season was over. Hoping with the Live Season Finale, it will bring in some viewers for another season. Kinda weird to think that this will be the first Live Boxing fight on one of the three major networks in YEARS!!

As long as those cowards bonsante, jesse, and joey don't make the final I'm happy. The preview for next week showed bonsante beating the crap of jesse though. Supposedly something shocking is to happen. Anyone buying tickets to see the final live?

i think the final will be Mora vs Gomez. i dont think the manfredo is that good.

yeah and i checked out david estradas record the other day, his only loss is to the one annd only ishe smith, i guess these guys are the real deal

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.

Man, it's easily real, and definitely looks real. The camera angles and whatnot are all to add to the drama. Sure they make a jab look like it's a devastating killing blow, especially with the sound effects, though aside from that, it is real. Let's not forget these are all real boxers and you can check their records on boxrec.com and it gets updated according to the show. They aren't going to show the entire fights because they only have an hour to do the entire show. I hear the final fight will be fully LIVE televised with no editing or nothing. Like watching a regular fight. As for the FOTY stuff, it's because they are cutting in between only the good stuff and editing the speed and everything to make it look better than it is. They never show the round timer so maybe you see something crazy and that happened at 2:30, then another crazy part, and really it happened at like 30 seconds left. Ya get my drift?
