The Contender - Season Two

[dsfunk]

What a great second fight. Those guys looked like they were fighting to the death.

I liked the first one better to be honest. Everyone expected Mike Clark to whoop up on K-9... but K-9 stomped him for 3 rds and knocked him down in the 5th. He looked much bigger than Michael too... that's what that fool gets for talkin smack - gets whooped by the last man picked. K-9 all the way.

 

[SpanishFry]

damn! didn't realize it started already. loved season 1

 

[SirChadwick]

SEASON 2 will be much better. No Stallone and more black boxers!

 

[MrChad]

I caught the second half.

It seems like a great show. I don't know if it's the editing, the music or what, but the matches are much more compelling than live boxing. I heard good things about season 1, but I never watched it. I may start watching season 2.

ESPN carries it now.

10PM EST on ESPN

The ring announcer still annoys me for some reason. I think it's because he's obese and has that gruffled voice like he's got a chicken wing stuck in his throat.

 

[PokerGuy]

I don't generally like those reality shows, but the contender (season 1) was very entertaining. I'll be watching season 2 as well.

 

[Reckoner]

The first episode is being repeated on ESPN2 right now

 

[scarfase99]

it's one of the most frustrating shows i've seen in my life (as a boxing fan). If i have to hear one more fake punch land sound, i'll kill myself. the dramatization feels even more this season than it did last season. guys get hit on the shoulder and the sound they put makes it sound like it's a knockout punch to the body.

i wonder why stallones not back?

He's busy filming Rocky 6 prolly

 

[Reckoner]

Hahaha Michael, that's what he gets for talking sh!t!

 

[neegotiator]

it was a pretty funny fight, k9 got the job done but man he just looked so awkward up there

 

[Baked]

They replay it over and over again on ESPN2 until the next new episode. The Contender for ESPN is like Real World for MTV.

 

[shopbruin]

i love this show. i even love how they edit the fights because now i know what was a good hit/punch/whatever. it's the showing of the families that sucker me in - some of them have REALLY cute kids.

 

[PhaZe]

where is judge dredd

 

[spidey07]

la, la, la, not listening. Not reading.

Watching the repeat on ESPN2 now.

 

[Baked]

Rudy Vs. Norberto

 

[Reckoner]

What the hell was Torres doing in that fight? He seemed more concerned about what was happening in the stands, than in the ring.

 

[EvilYoda]

Isn't this season 3? And that fight was pretty poor...I don't know much about their backgrounds, but neither played much defense (the hispanic guy a little) and it looked like an amateur slugfest. I'm surprised at who won though (no spoiler!).

I can't believe Ebo lost :Q

ARGH ESPN gave it away. they kept going "you're behind, you need to knock him out!" then boom. knockout.
