    Lights Out - Paulie Malignaggi & John Duddy cameo

    Not sure if this has been posted yet, but did anyone happen to catch the season finale of Lights Out last night? Paulie Malignaggi and John Duddy made cameo appearances and actually had speaking parts in the show.

    Now that the first season is over, what does everyone think of the show? Despite having the usual corny and unrealistic boxing dialogue here and there, it's a good show. Much better than I had originally expected it to be.

    I saw Peter Manfredo in there as well.

    It would have been awesome if there was a season 2, to see where that would have led - fighting for a boxing union? that's awesome. That could have brought light to real life and sparked much needed debate about the same issues - boxers need protection, they need medical, etc.

    btw, it was a great season finale. It's a damn shame it wasn't picked up for season 2.

      on a side note, and somewhat related, I heard there will be a documentary on Terry Norris soon, which will be just about that - the need for a boxing union.

        The rematch with reynolds in the series finale was great.

            So there's not gonna be a 2nd season for sure?


            I liked the first season, kept me interested, and the season finale with my boy Paulie made it that much more ILL!..haha..

            I was hoping for a season two, but you're making me lose hope, lol, what's the details behind it not being picked up for a follow up?

              FX is done with the show.

              So the only hope is for Lights Out to get picked by another network.

              Which is quite the longshot.

              It's a shame because the show was really liked by fans and critics and got mostly good reviews. The show is being canceled due to low ratings, which isn't even that relevant considering we live in the day and age of DVR, online streaming, downloads, etc.

                definitely won't be a second season...they might make a dvd or maybe stream the second season on netflix

                  I think I saw Vivian Harris in there too. Shame it got cancelled, it was a good show. The finale was good, I like how they ended it.

                    They had Duddy, Manfredo, Malignaggi, and Vivian Harris. They canceled the show for next year and the season finale had the worst production of all the episodes. Lights Leary ends up getting punchdrunk, a champion with a busted mind....his family's worst fears realized...just the way to ensure no season 2.
