As a counter to the Final Fu post, has anyone been watching The Contender? It has been entertaining, and there are good young fighters on the show.

I love the contender. I was so happy to see that ESPN picked up a second season. We are going to Vegas soon and actually looked to see if we would be there around the same time that the final match would be held at Ceasers Palace. We will miss it by 2 weeks. :(

I've heard of this show, is this boxing though?

of its own accord before there are any actual

hostilities...It is best to win without fighting.

It's boxing. Right now though, each match is only scheduled for 5 rounds, but these guys are really boxing. The matches aren't scripted. Just good T.V. I wonder though what boxers think of the show. Probably feel the same as how most Martial Artist feel about Final FU.

I wish they would actually show the fights. They show only a heavily edited & shortened version, which I believe is intended to keep you from knowing who the winner will be.

A good show, tho. I enjoy it.

If you think only of hitting, springing, striking or touching the enemy, you will not be able actually to cut him. You must thoroughly research this. - Musashi

I much prefer watching The Contender, Final Fu, or The Ultimate Fighter than shows like Survivor or Big Brother. Even though all three fight shows have their flaws and are over-edited, at least they are not just a bunch of pathetic losers with no skills trying to stab each other in the back to make a quick buck.

Unlike the typical "reality" shows, they feature people who have worked hard to achieve real skills.

I cant wait for the contender to be aired in the UK - the first series was great, although I was rooting for Alfonso in the first series. That guy had heart in his fights. Was quality tv.
