i hope the CONTENDER gets cancaled after season 2!

Really the show is geared to non-boxing fans. If it was geared to real fans they would at least show the whole fight! The reality show Ultimate Fighter brought in a ton of new mma fans. If The Contender does that, it will be a good thing for the sport.

One thing you have to remember when watching the show is that it was not made to appeal to boxing fans, it was made to appeal to non boxing fans. That's why it has all the gimmicks and extra story lines (family, etc.). there were 12,000 people at the Staple's center to see the finale live and I'm sure the majority have never been to a match live before. So in the end it helps boxing because it increases it's popularity. If the non boxing fan becomes interested in these so so fighters then they will want to learn about the best fighters as well.

mora will never be champ @ 160 though..one mora gets put in the ring with somebody "Solid" he will lose

I like the show and think it is a great opportunity for some good people.I agree though about the additudes....fcuking Mora is straight ***** and he walks around like he is some kind of Champ.......I hope he gets his fight with Taylor.....it will be the last we hear from him he will get KOed.

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.





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 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.

[Easy-E]

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.
