Which is better the Ultimate Fighter or The Contender

[King Koyle]

I like the contender better.The ultimate fighter is alright though.

i like both, but i like TC better.... my friend asked me today if MMA will over take in boxing the next year and I said no way... but in the 5-10 years maybe... right now don king and PBF are killing boxing by not making fights people wanna see... nobody wants to see valuev/barrett or SL/mcbride and floyd looks like he'll be fighting another opponent who no chance in hell of beating him... if boxing doesnt get its act together, it will get passed....

i love TC... its different from the other boxing programs.... we would care nothing about clark vs K9 if it was on FNF, but since its on TC not only do we care, but we're rooting for K9... i can watch boxing on HBO, showtime, epsn, fox, telemundo, ppv, if i wanna see the entire fight...

The Condender has some 'old' guys on it trying to make a comeback. Ultimate Fighter really lacks that because it is such a young sport. I do wish Contender would show 100% of the fights, but to be honest, it is marketed more for the non-boxing crowd. If it brings more fans to the sport, though, it's all good, especially with boxing at a low right now. Ultimate Fighter brought alot of new fans to mma.

Oh, and about there being all good fighters on UF, that is not true. I've noticed several guys with little or no ground game on there. And no one can seem to verify Jason Thacker having ANY fights before he was chosen to be on UF. All the guys on Contender at least have verified winning records.

I liked the Conteder better since its boxing...

PLEASE CONSIDER THESE CHANGES FOR CONTENDER 3, give us hardcore boxing fans a little more too and not just the average sports fan of ESPN.

This is what most real boxing fans want from CONTENDER...

- Show full fights, not just highlights(with highlight replays from just one angle)
- less sound effects with punches, you aint foolin nobody
- a bit less family in the locker room, more sparring and training
- alottt less family and gf side talk during fights, especially little girlies being alowed to come near the fighters corner.

All in all, a bit more reality and a bit less drama would be nice.

The Contender hands down.

I agree with this post 100%. The Ultimate Fighter just seems more real so if these changes were to be made for THE CONTENDER then it would be so much better.

Would u say the De la Hoya show was better in that sense? BTW I agree about the music its the ****in best. I like the Ultimate Fighter alot too cuz of the trashtalking and the beefin between Tito and Shamrock in the last season. They had some crazy ass white boys on last season haha Ed Herman was a badass and he was freakin hilarious. "I dare you to say something to me about being gay if u see me walking down the street" lol

I thought it was much better. I thought the Tito/Shamrock beef was hilarious. Yah Herman was a ****y badass. He talked alot of **** but could back it up too. I liked it when he turned his room into the ba*****.

the ultimate fighter isnt over-glorified, over-dramatic, and you get to see the whole fight. the UFC is full of fighters who want to HURT each other. i dont know a single fighter in the entire sport of boxing who boxes just to hurt people.
