Default Contender

Amazing episode, and maybe the best bit of TV all time.

Which part. I love contender and think it's probably the best show on TV atm but I'm not sure what instance you are referring to here. The Brinkley uppercut?

Wow!!

Ridiculously good fight!!

Agreed, AMAZING episode!

If all fights were edited with slow motion shots, boxing would be sooo much more popular. I'm gonna tivo all fights for now and and then add in some slow motion.

Yeah, this week's episode was awesome as usual. I don't know much about boxing, but didn't Anthony have the fight pretty much won going into the fifth round? He had to have known that Jesse would be going for the knockout so couldn't he have fought more defensively/conservatively to avoid getting knocked out? Great fight, but I think Anthony messed up that final round.

Damn, great fight. That was one lucky ass shot. Can't believe Anthony didn't try to just tie him up and move for the final round. From what was being shown and discussed, he was up 3 to 1. Can't wait for the final 3 matches, should be awesome.

Basically the Brinkley uppercut, and then he goes down. Then it cuts to his daughter and even though i want Brinkley to win, Im now hoping he gets up and wins. Then he tries to get up. All that and a good few minutes after are the "bit" im referring too.

Its not often that TV evokes that much emotion.

Default Awesome Fight !!!

I just recently got hook on this show and I LOVE IT.

It does a great job of showing the boxers personal lives and the fights are fantastic. Whoever edits that show is a genius!!!

I actually thought this was the worst episode before the 5th round of that fight. Man that was one hell of a punch. I only wish they had showed the replay a few more times.

Predictions?

alfonzo vs. jesse

sergio vs. peter

then alfonzo vs. sergio where sergio wins.

I don't get why they stopped the fight. The guy didn't look like he was hurt that bad, just dazed.
