Thread: The Contender - episode 2

What's up with Henry Buchanan being out of this all of a sudden?

I Dont't Know About That But J-Don Looks Like He's Trying To Convince Him self.Dudes about To Cry.I Liked Last season Better,This Is Over Manufactured And Produced.The Hype For The CArd That Never Was ByGolden Boy,LoL.Whatever Happens,I Like Soliman & alexander.Keep In Mind....These are Only 5 Rounds.

I totally disagree. I think this season is much less "produced". Better fighters and better trainers. Actually talking about technique in the show. Last season had none of that. And you cant fault hyping a fight (at least I cant). To bad they didnt happen.

That was fantastic, they got a perfect format. Knowing Jaidon's father passing, he is a strong, level headed individual, I have a lot of respect for him.

Honest,I Really dont Care to Much about The Production itself.The Irony Of showing A Pitch/commercial For A Good Fight Card Which Was Cancelled Days Ago To Enhance A "show".Heres An Idea ESPN,Take That time And Money,And Fan Hood spent on this Gem And Show These Guys In Actual Cards,You Know Like You Had When You Were A Good Network.

It was the weirdest experience to me when they got to the fight. It was similar to some vapid pop song where you're like "Aww man, this song is horrible!" and then you find yourself tapping your foot and the tune gets stuck in your head! They showed the whole thing, but they had all those fast camera changes and slow motion shots. I was thinking, "This sucks! It's just as hard to score as it ever was." Yet I found myself on the edge of my seat with my heart racing! Those bastards...

The little twilight twinkling sound when Vera got hurt took the cake though. LOL

I really thought Jaidon looked psyched out before the fight. His demeanor made him seem like he had lost before he started. I guess looks can be deceiving...

LMAO that was a good.

The fight will be shown on the 21st with commentary by Marble Mouth and Joe T. on ESPN

Gotta love how those legs turned to yarn and they added the twinkle

We wont have to worry about judging these fights too much.

I liked the episode yesterday with the exception of all the special effects and slow motion stuff. The more i watch the harder it is to root against soliman, he looks extremly relaxed and is just an all around good guy.

I FEEL SO LONELY - UK SUCKS FOR WHEN SHOWING THE CONTENDER

COME ON ITV!!!! PLAY THE GOD DAM SHOW

First time I've really watched the show. It wasn't bad, the editing's absolutely silly but at least there showing the full fights now which is good. The fight was actually kind of entertaining.

Just went to boxingtalk and they showed who the finalists are going to be apparently. Have they done this before. Bitch move by them.

Just watched it from the great - Danny_G (thanks again bro ur a legend)

Hopefully next week David Banks will get KNFO by Paul Smith (Sorry HE WILL GET KNFO)

just watched it thanks to danny_g , cheers dude CC for that

it was awesome. this series is great so far

How the hell did the fat kid get back in??

He is overweight very unfit and from what i saw in his two sparring sessions is a punching bag.

My prediction after seeing two shows is that The final will be:

Biko v Max Alexander

Also why the hell does no one box on this show every season these guys seem to think because there on national TV they have to go out there and fight toe to toe.

It's going to be great to watch somebody spark out Jaidon in the semi's.

Just a note here gents, The show is really focused on those whom are not yet avid boxing fans. The flashy camera angles and such are for them, along with the little sound edits.

The new format of the show (showing the entire round) is a step in the right direction, though the camera angles we are used to would be like watching a tennis match to the " non-fan". I'm strongly supportive of anything that promotes our sport.

I'm a bit undecided as to how i feel about the fighters this year though. Sam Solomon, long time vet on the down side of his career, in with the #10 ranked *by Ring mag.* Sakio Bika and a few others I havent heard of before.. leave me wondering if some of these guys are being set up for the big fall.

Either way im pullin for the yellow team. Everyone i like is on it. Look for a show down between sam and sakio or Donny McCrary and sakio ok, i might be a lil nutz haha!
