Contender season 2 on ESPN

[roosta]

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.

thier are no good heavyweight contenders though. i think they should do welterweight or jr welterwwight. those divisions seem to have the most talent

[The Fix]

good news, ishe was the best on that show and if the fight were 12 rounds with mora, id put my money on sugar shay

[mikey5time]

Ishe is definately by far the best fighter. If the fights were normal length, he'd have dominated. Look at how badly he beat dumbass Bonsante, when there was no editing.

Straight up ***** slapped #1 Daddy.

i didnt get to see the undercard..just the final and runner up fights.

still i went on the contender website and watched brinkley ko
bonsante about 15 times before i watched the episode.lmfao

ahmed was an *******, a prick, and a moron.

ishe was a fight dodger and a wuss.

bosante was a crybaby, a liar (he said he could take a punch when he really couldnt), and a fight dodger.

juan was a quitter, nuff said.

and sergio was an arrogant, feather-fisted, liar.

on the good side:

jonathon had a good chin and a lot of heart.

manfredo had great skill, speed, a good chin, and a lot of heart.

alfonso gomez was a carbon copy of julio cesar chavez, but not didnt really pack chavez's power.

brinkly sounded like a girl, but he had good power, a solid chin, and plenty of heart and stamina.

the season was good but some of the fighters ******. i hope the 2nd season will be better.

More rounds, 10 rds is ok, 12rds for the finals. Just show the hi-lights.

Less of the crying, emotional outbursts, intrigues etc.

Is that too much to ask? Maybe ESPN will do it better.

You can bet if this happend ESPN will be hyping the hell out of it for weeks like they did with the PPV...along with Teddy and Joe's claims that they are not in the advertising business, or whatever. ESPN's been pissing me off lately, and the addition of a reality show to their lineup doesn't get me too excited. Keep in mind that all reality shows are in some ways fixed, no matter what anyone tries to tell you. They influence events to get desirable results, and that's the last thing boxing needs.

I hope they produce it right and dont piss poor it with cheap production. It better hold the same quality or it will be turded down the drain.

The whole show is a waste, the fighters are never going to anywhere and pissed their career down the drain. For the most part, they are stuck fighting each other for a year or two as now they contractually obligated to fight as NBC or whoever as there promoter. The only fighter on that show to take a step forward was Kaddour.

I wouldnt say they arent going anywhere. I can see Ishe definetly being a real contender in years to come. He already beat David Estrada as easily as Shane Mosely did. Sergio Mora may need to develop a little more but he can be a decent fighter. I dont see the others doing much. Gomez might be able to do a little better in a smaller weight class though.

Really good news.
