The Contender

[Colin P]

'season finale' 8pm tonight!

[Fargo]

what channel

[Adie]

Just watched the last episodes. What a great series. I was a bit dissapointed by the final fight. Commentery by Sly was awful. He should have left it to someone who really knows boxing. Instead of keep talking about various rematches, to make him even more money.

The fight for 3rd place was a much better fight. Might be because it was less rounds and they just went for it.

Also they should have shown the other 3 pre match fights. Although you can see them on the website Link.

DO NOT CLICK LINK IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW WHO WINS.

Roll on the second series. And all the rematches :D

Thats a shocker realy never expected that outcome :o ,sort of wish i never clicked the link now but i had to .

No. Final should be next week. I managed to find the last 2 episodes on the internet

[Colin P]

ahhh ok, well yea, you pretty much summed it up. I was suprised who won, made me laugh the ***** he started saying to the other guys dad during the fight (didnt wanna say names to spoil it for other people.....Anees)

too much talk of rematches though, kinda spoils the whole thing really

[Adie]

Right I've seen the adverts for this on ITV4 has the second series started yet? Anybody know when its on? Anybody care?

[Pip]

Its garbage TBH just like Ultimate Fighter has become.

I watched the first series, glorified Rocky.

:P Had forgotton about this. in the end I never did watch the final. I downloaded the Torrent off the Internet but it never finished downloading - think its dead now! Saw the "rematch" show they had a few months later however...... not bad.

Whilst digging up this old thread I also found the one where the rematch was discussed... Looks like we all loved or loved to hate the contender :duh:

[Adie]

Right then guys, just seen the advert for the new series.

It starts on Monday ITV4 9pm :D (although I'll probably forget)

[Mitch]

sky plus needs to be set then, wonder if there will be any of the contenders from last series in???

hope its as good as the ;last one

[aido]

Was out in Vegas and I was actually in the crowd in the Season One finale, just didn't realise at the time what I was watching!

Great show last year though when I realised what it was and started watching, hopefully this year will be as good!

[Adie]

Gold team is going to win. Bloke is a mouthy **** though

[Fargo]

mouthy man gets his assssss handed to him....... ooops did i go spoil it...

[Adie]

Yeah, real nice dig from the blue guy to put him on his arse :D

[Fargo]

i like it when the the people with all the mouth get shut up from the quiet ones....

[Mitch]

well wasnt sure if it would be as good as first and there are some look-a-likes from the series 1 show (like the guy on blue team looks bit like manfredo...??)

BUT................

this was brilliant and the fight was great, was on edge of my seat cheering like a mad man... cant wait for next week...........

glad something is on on monday nights to fill in the void left by PRISON BREAK..................

[Pip]

What a melodramatic croc of sh!t..

[Fargo]

yep, its melodramatic, tis the way its edited and of course is american, but you gota admit, the actual boxing is pretty damn good.
