The 12Rd contender!!

They should of been at least 8 rounders, i would of preferred them to be 10, i could understand them being 5's if they were all novices with only a fight or two under their belts, i don't think any of them are 6 round fighters at all, 10 for all matches except final then that should be 12

Ok all these fights on the show are 5RDs and that sucks, Who do ya'll think woulda won the show if they had been 12RD fights, maybe the same people, but I dont think so, 12Rds gives them time to box. On the show its like a race for who ever wins 3RDs. Examples on the show, Ahmed woulda definatley KOed Alfonso. But since it was 5RDs Alfonso won. Maybe Ishe Smith woulda did better, I dont know, what do yall think???

for a 1 hour show, they had to do it in 5... 10 and 12 rounders are too long for the show... i agree with you ahmed and alfonso, ahmed was strong, but is a slow starter...

Oh give me a break. By that logic, 5 rounds are too long for the show because they only show us edited footage and highlights. Non-stop action, the contender fights probably show 2 to 3 rounds.

12 rounds only gives the show more material to work with to edit together a fight and would be more interesting because stamina would be more of an issue.

Wonder why only one KO/knockdown in the Contender matches so far? Because the fights are too short. 5 rounders are for Butterbean not true contenders.

Theres one KO and one TKO

alfonso wouldnt be there if it was longer than 5 rounds

I dont think any of these guys are ready for twelve rounders. 12 round fights are only fought for championships. Most of these guys are still kinda green to pro fighting. 5 rounds is sufficient in my opinion. Both fighters know its a five round fight, so they should box accordingly.

I Think Ishe Would Still Be In If They Fought For The 12 Rounds.
