The Contender Thread (Spoilers)

i think it would have to be a prediction, since the finale is going to live.

I said i think it is, I'am not sure if it is going to be live like last season.

i think "for myself" that its too early to pick a favorite. I'm not familiar with most of the fighters. IMO the fights are too frequent to fight more rounds. You also have fighters that can go 8, 10, 12 rounds, and have them fight 5. more action, its TV.
And as far as being good or bad for the fighters. This is boxing and as so many on this sight love to preach about, its up to the fighter to win the fight, not the team. If you loose its your own fault, should of, could of, would of, still equals a loss. This is exposure, and if the fighter uses it right, its a good thing. Manfredo, Brinkly, & Gomez, were all the losers that took advantage of their situation. Ishi Smith, could of but didn't. (Id mention more but cant remember their names. That whole exposure thing.) But the show, shows that these fighters aren't machines, criminals, thugs, or most of the stereo typical beliefs of the casual fan has.
It is supposed to show that they don't just go fight. They have to train, stardigise, and get their head straight. On top of the fact they have families. This show is good for boxing, as a whole. I don't know the numbers, but I'm fairly confident that the weekly fight shows numbers have been up since.

[Big_Deuce]

well, the only reason you can like the guys last season more than this season is because you saw last season already...
why dont ya wait for this one to be over, then repost this thread.

Gary Balletto,
Vinroy barrett
Ebo Elder,
Steve Forbes
Jeff Fraza

[Tito BHB]

ner it aint like that i knew what was what n who i routed for at the beginning last time im jus not sure now i mean im not dissin the guys on this season i mean i like fraza n k9 n that im jus sayin they jus dont seem to have the same personallity as the last lot, like i duno mayb its cos the last lot bitched alot n u got to know em early ?? but im liking the fact that the random tasks from lsat season have gone and its more just boxing this season.

[Big_Deuce]

[Tito BHB]

im not about to get into a pissen contest about what season was better, because in the END, you could be right, and last season, could end up being better, but ill wait for the END of THIS season to say so.

[Tito BHB]

As much as I love Andre Eason as fighter, how do you do from beating Delvin Rodriguez and having a SD with Demetirus Hopkins to getting beat pretty bad against Walter Wright. Either Wright is really good, or Eason hasn't taken a step foward since those fights.

He was a smaller man that didnt work the inside(from what we see..again, we see a 1/4 of the fight...He does have the heart of "a lion".... No doubt... He earned my respect. Wright was crisper. More acurate and in better shape. Looked like Eason had taken some time off... Balletto is my man so Im rooting for gold but Eason really tore @ my strings... seems like a cool cat. Go Balletto!!

[Cortez The Killer]

I just saw my first episode of this season of the Contender last night...it was weak. You got Sugar Ray Leonard comparing that Walter Wright guy to Hearns cause he was acting all cocky in the ring since he was fighting a bloated welterweight in Andre Eason who had NO idea how to throw a punch. He looked like he's been boxing for about two months. Then we get the sob story when Eason loses boo-ooo cue the dramatic music. THen all those "punch" sound effects they add...so lame. I was high as a kite and couldnt even enjoy it.
