I dont think that i will watch this one.

I've watched The Contender and I think it sucks.

As TV, it's so-so overly contrived reality pablum.

Where it really sucks is in the boxing department. Seeing only 20 seconds to a minute of each 3-minute round is not boxing if you are a real boxing fan.

The show is on for an hour and they show maybe five minutes at most of boxing. Since the 5 round bouts would only last 15 minutes tops anyway, why not show the whole bout and cut out some of the boring parts and crappy sentimental stuff?

To really understand the ebb and flow of a fight, you need to see it in it's entirety. Not just selected clips.

Most fights show highlights in between rounds and have a post fight recap showing key moments in a fight, but the Contender is nothing but highlights, with no complete rounds shown.

I would rather watch a local golden gloves tournament with amateur boxers then Contender style edited fights.

Awesome show. Miles above that lame Delahoya ripoff(Stallone had the idea first and Fox rushed out the Delahoya one first)
