On a side note: Everyone has to agree that the Contender was good for boxing, I mean at least it got well deserved publicity!!! Hopefully boxing will now be a more popular sport, and even have HIGHLIGHTS ON ESPN...okay maybe not but I can dream can't I?

Dont even get me started! I cant believe you said it was good for boxing how can you tell me a true boxer and fan for my life that watching edited fights throughout the series and seeing what happens every day for the normal hard working citizen what makes a poor boxer like most of them until you get a big pay day and either make it or you dont from that point on. Sergio was horrible so was Peter and so was the fight

I agree that Contender is good for boxing but I also think it could be a little misleading about the fighters who participated. I mean that they were basically all on the same talent level (give or take) so the fights were all close, competitive and exciting. But I would also like to see them in the game against some other, more established middleweights, now that they have a little fame and thus leverage for making such fights.

WHHHATTT??? Yea the fights were edited, that did suck but you think that's why it wasn't good for boxing??? Okay let me EDUCATE you because according to you I am not a true boxing fan!

1)Do you know what the demographic for boxing is???

-Answer:Males 18-23 from rural areas. Not all those high class big paying ****s who only like seeing Mega Fights. So I do hope that these young males were watching these fights because then it would be more exposure to the sport of BOXING not EDITING!!!

2)How can you not realize that it's good to see how a "poor boxer" as you put, makes it big.

-That's REALITY. Boxing is not even made up of 25% of DLH's or Trinidad's, no it's made up of Juan's, Tyrone's, and Pedro's busting their asses off to make it to just one major fight in their lives!!!
What we see on HBO and Showtime are the mainstream fighters who have made it, what we don't see enough of are the up and comers who are not blinded by the envy of money and fight their ****in heart out minute after minute putting their heart and soul out as if it was their last fight!!! There are many out there waiting for that opportunity! Don't get it twisted I ain't saying that mainstream fighters don't show heart BUT I GURANTEE you if you watch those "unimportant fights" on Telemundo and Telefutura you see young, hungry, and heartful fighters who fight their ****in heart out!!!

Dude if the Contender episodes were like this final during the whole show, it would be having a second season. Editing the bouts was plain corny. Tonight proved how exciting the fights could be without adding sound effects and camera tricks.

The problem is they designed it to appeal to the mainstream casual non-boxing viewer who probably only watches fights in movies with special effects.

If you can get away with being ****y in the ring, you must be pretty good.

If your ****y outside the ring, your just an ass and you look like a fool!

I never saw Sergio act ****y outside the ring.

No you want ****ty sportsmanship? Watch the Bonsante-Ishe fight where Bonsante shoves Ishe to the ground 3 times and picks him up over his head even!
