    Contender rematches

    Anyone checking this out? I loved the show last year, one of the best reality shows I've ever seen. The fights were good. While these guys aren't really good boxers, it's intriguing to say the least.

    It's on ESPN at 11PM on Saturday. Live from Los Angeles.

    Sergio Mora vs. Perer Manfredo Jr
    Alphonso Gomez vs. ?
    Anthony Bosante vs. Jesse Brinkley

    Can't wait!

    Re: Contender rematches

    I'll probably record it. I'm usually never home on Saturday nights so I never get to see any of the boxing matches.

    I enjoyed watching The Contender as well. I was suprised Mora beat Manfredo, but glad that he did. Manfredo's father annoyed me on that show.

    Brinkley and Bosante rematch... Hmmm. Bosante had Brinkley beat during the Contender, but stepped right into a nice Brinkley uppercut to get KO'ed.

      Yeah, Brinkley's uppercut was vicious! I have like 5 buddies of mine coming over, so we're going to get some pizza and watch the fights. Should be good!

        I wonder why they don't know who Gomez's fight is against? Aren't these guys supposed to be training for their opponent?

        I figured it would be Ahmed Kaddour since they had a Contender rivalry. Maybe Ishe Smith?

          I'm sure he knows who he's fighting, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I saw Bassante vs. Brinkley and Gomez is on the card. That's all the info I can find.

            I will probably watch it simply because my girlfriend and I watched show. But if the fights are *STILL* only 5 or 7 rounds long then it will be incredibly lame. Some of these guys were fighting 10 and 12 rounders before the show. Take the kids gloves off of these guys already!

              I'll be watching this rematch. I liked the first fight and this should be even better than the first.

                Gomez will be fighting Luciano Perez. He is pretty ordinary so it will be a good barometer to see where the level of the Contender fighters are at the moment. If Gomez loses, it will be a pretty big blow to the credibility of the Contender fighters. Sergio is rated as high as 7, which might be too high considering his resume. Regardless, great show and great guys. I really look forward to the next season.

                    He beat him because Manfredo was an idiot, he was 10 pounds over weight a couple days before the weigh-in. Droppin 10 pounds in 2 days means you are losing almost exclusively water. Even after bloating back up, you will still be sluggish for a while.

                      is there going to be a season 2? I know after the show ended, NBC had not brought it back for a 2nd year, and Stallone was begging everyone to go to the website and show their support or whatever. Has anything changed? I liked the show, and would like to see another season of it.
