Contender season 2 on ESPN

[mikefromstu]

July 14, 2005 - Reliable sources have informed **********.com that ESPN will pick up The Contender's second season, however, before season two begins, ********** can also be the first to inform you that a special broadcast of Thursday Night Fights will take place on September 1. The card, which it appears will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, will be littered with contender stars. The televised seven round bouts are looking like Alfonso Gomez-Peter Manfredo III and Ishe Smith-Jesse Brinkley. At first the Contender brass were looking to stage a Mora-Manfredo rematch with Gomez taking on Jeff Fraza, but for reasons unbeknownst to us, Mora, the contender champion, has been removed from the card. **********.com will continue to keep you updated

Great news to me and it should be great news to boxing fans in general. This show broadcasted on ESPN can bring in new fans to boxing due to the drama involved. I think they should do the heavyweight division though since the world seems to love the heavies to much. As far as the fights from the contenders from the first season, I want to see the Brinkley/Ishe fight the most. Gomez should be fighting Mora not Manfredo.

FYI...Fraza never lost on the show and Ishe lost once by split decision in his whole career which just so happened to be on the show.
