Sadly, I agree with you. They walk around like they are great or something, especially Mora.

If you don't like the show then don't watch.

All fighters have egos, that nothing new.

I know you hate to hear it but I agree. Mora's a clown. This guy acts like he's the P4P King. He's telling other guys how to fight, talking to other fighters about being great, and he's so damn arrogant.

Now I can deal with all that stuff and I may even like it if your the real deal but when your a average fighter at best then it gets old.

I stilll like the show and would want to see it again but I hate seeing the same guys all the time. ESPN better not do in season 2 what they did in season 1. I dont want to see these same guys all over ESPN all the time and ESPN having fight cards dedicated stritctly to them.

Look at a guy like Bravo. You cant even tell how good these guys are. You watch the contender, let them show all the fights with cut scenes & special effects, and it makes these guys look great. Then you watch Bravo fight K-9 live and he doesnt even look like a pro. Ive never seen a guy that slow at that weight class. I know he's older but damn.

You cant keep taking up for everything just because guys are Mexican. If the Contender was a regular show then it would be good but ESPN always over does it by then showing these guys 24/7, having fight cards dedicated to them, and then afterwards showing these guys in a light like there elite fighters when they clearly arent.

Then when you do bring a solid guy on there like Forbes, you make him fight at a weight class much higher then him because it wouldnt be fair to have someone that good who is a real WW

floyd mayweather could knock out every single contender participant all in one night just like louis gossett jr in Diggstown.

I could be wrong but I think you got upset with what he said and you take up for the Contender because the guys people are speaking about are Mexican like Gomez & Bravo. Mora's not Mexican but he can pass

**Easy-E** · 09-29-2006, 02:17 AM

Mora has good skills and Manfredo is solid.
I actully think k9 is decent, and the best to come out of the contender except for maybe Walter Wright.

I like the show

But I hate all that gimmick stuff they do. Like when you lose you walk out the back of the arena on an empty street. But they do have to make the show viewer friendly to some of the non-boxing fans. I'll still watch it though it is very interesting at the same time.

I GOT SICK OF HEARING BRAVO WINE IN EVERY INTERVIEW..I COULDNT WAIT FOR HIM TO LOSE AND GO HOME..UNFORTANELY IT DIDNT HAPPEN EARLIER

AND FEROCITY IS A CLOWN..HE TRYs TO MAKE EVERY MEXICAN FIGHTER GREAT..NOBODY ELSE DOES THAT BUT MEXICANS..

i hope the CONTENDER gets cancaled after season 2!
