    I sense a bit of fear from Taylor,Mora has history with Taylor should be an interesting fight, you know Mora will go in confident because he has fought Taylor in the amatures. Mora would be dumb not to take this fight but i think he'll take this fight.

      Mora is really that much of a challenge for Taylor?
      I thought he was just some actor/average guy/nobody they got for a reality show.

      I didn't watch the contender so I don't know if they got boxers who were good but didn't have attention or if they just got guys who were trying to box.

      Can someone give me more info on the contender and/or mora?

        Just as the title of the show, some of those boxer were legit contenders. The highest ranked Peter Manfred Jr. was probably a few fights away from a title shot when he signed up for the contenders.

        Mora defeating Smith, Manfredo and others of the Contender got him a ranking in the top 10 or somwher in top 15.

        The Contender show will now be shown on espn, and they got a few really good fighters. I mean top contenders and from the list i spotted an ex-champion. So it should be interesting.

        I didn't really follow the contender till the last few episodes. So i don't know too much about it.

          Ah ok. So I guess I should have watched it.

          I just dismissed it as another "reality" show.

              This will be a shutout.

              Won't go past 6 I'm afraid, Sergio's never gone past 8 rounds, and nearly all of his wins on the contender were controversial.

              JT will give him a whupping.

                I think Taylor will pummel him for a wide decision victory. Mora is tough, but he will be outmatched against Taylor

                  I agree.

                  Let's just consider this a "stay busy fight" or a "tune up fight". The number 1 to 3 contenders are not available at the moment.
