The Contender Season 2

[ExtremeGamer]

It begins tomorrow on ESPN at 10. Hopefully it's as good as season 1 was. Two hour debut.

Re: The Contender Season 2

Definately going to watch it. I saw a picture of all the guys in a magazine and they look bigger than the guys in Season 1. Of course it could've just been a photoshop/airbrush job.

Or they might've moved up in weight class? Anyone know?

Re: The Contender Season 2

Found the answer to my own question - it's welterweight. I think Season 1 was middleweight so they actually went down in weight.

EDIT - Jeff Fraza is back for season 2.

I can't wait to hear Sly yelling out at the fighters again during their fights.

Re: The Contender Season 2

Cant wait for this tomarrow night, anyone going to actually watch the Sergio Mora fight tonight on ESPN? Im somewhat intrigued but at the same time Im not much of a fan of Mora at all and he is fighting Termeliksetian. On somewhat of a side note, I just read something really interesting regarding Mora, he is signed to fight Eric Regan on August 25th and if he wins there are negotiations for him to fight Jermain Taylor on December 2nd on HBO, this was reported on July 12th. Seems like a quick turn around for Mora if he is fighting tonight and then in a month again but we will see how it plays out I guess.

That Mora fight was from 2 or 3 months ago.

Tonights fight was from 2-3 months ago? Surprised that nobody leaked the outcome then unless I just didnt know where to look for it. Everytime I see Mora fight I leave even less impressed then I did going into it, he takes rounds off and seems to think a little too highly of himself, I only hope that someone comes along and knocks him out.

It was shown live on ESPN 2-3 months ago as well.

Wow, thanks for the heads up, must not have been paying much attention to boxing then I guess, to be honest if it wasnt for the Contender I just cant seem to get into boxing anymore anyways.

What? Why!

Re: The Contender Season 2

Cause hes a @#$% with no boxing background.
He cant even act or speak, just a goofy look.

Anyway heh.
I dont know why but he is no longer on the show.

Re: The Contender Season 2

This season looks good so far. First fight is Michael Clark vs K9.

K9's a big dude, but Clark has a ton of experience and a good track record.

I'm pulling for K9, but I'm not sure he can win this fight based on Clark's experience.

EDIT - I just re-read the link I posted earlier and I didn't realize they had a guy who was a former IBF Champion in this season. That's Steve Forbes. I thought they took relative unknowns. Forbes being a past champ isn't really an unknown!

Re: The Contender Season 2
