I have missed the last episodes but my favorite is Jesse.

Re: The Contender

Love Peter Manfredo, there is something about him that I just love. I love watching their stories too - I actually feel bad every time someone loses because I think they all have some sort of talent.
Although last nights fight was kind of strange. I think Juan is a little too young to fight - he looked like he was in a street fight - he had no plan, just went in swinging without any grace.

I agree- Juan is very 'unpolished' and Dh and I were both saying the very same thing .. he was just 'street fighting' and not really 'boxing'

If his opponent (sorry I cannot remember his name!) was a little younger, I think that it would have been a closer match

And I'll fully admit it - outside of the week that Ahmed lost ('Hollywood' - what an azz he was ) I am always in tears by the end of the show.. I don't like to see any of them lose

Re: The Contender

Jano5..I totally agree with you,,,,Last nights fight was different than the others...

It almost was like a fight with no skills!!!!

Jesse is great,,I love his personality!!!! and Ishe..yuck! I hate him....he is a troublemaker and baby!!

Who do you think will win this???

Re: The Contender

FYI: there isnt an episode that I dont cry...after the fight when the guy who lost speaks,,,it kills me,,except for the time that Hollywood lost...

Re: The Contender

Is Ishi the guy who refused to particpate in the win and who whined in last nights entire episode? He was a mess doing the challenge too.

I hope Peter wins this but I don't know if he will ... I have to wait until next round to see who I really think is great.

Re: The Contender

I'm rooting for Jessi all the way.

Yep, Ishe is one and the same.. I used to like him, but he really was carrying on like a drama queen last night... So I lost a little respect for him. I'm not saying I agree with what Anthony pullled last week but I mean it is a CONTEST - get over it dude!

I honestly don't have a favorite just yet - I'll have to see next week's match before I can start really rooting for someone

I'm looking forward to this match nextweek

Re: The Contender

FH is hooked on that show and I watch it with him . . . It's a great show and all, but I actually hate it because I cry every episode. It's like, you don't want ANYONE to lose, right?

Re: The Contender

I love the show, too. Those guys give their all during their matches. Great, considering I think the boxing world ***** right now.

Anyway, have you guys noticed how some of the fighters on that show LOOK like boxers? As in their noses, or slightly disformed faces. I think Peter Manfredo is the main one.

Re: The Contender

I absolutely love this show too and I also like Joey Gilbert! DH gets so mad!!! Next week is his fight, he better win!

I totally forgot it was on last night Who fought?

Re: The Contender

It is a great show - I was a little disturbed by last week's fight though - the poor guy had NO IDEA WHERE HE WAS, and the winner just kept wailing on his face...

I guess that's boxing...
