Title: The Contender
Post by: Famine on April 5, 2005, 10:58 PM

I absolutley love this show. The storys these guys have and their tallent really get showcased. The fights are always great, and the way they piece them together blow my mind. I was pulling for Baby Face, untill he basicly flipped off the West Sider's wife. This last episode with that family man really tugged at my heart strings because I wanted both fighters to win.

Anyone here watch? :)

Haven't watched, but a friend of mine loves it.  It's his favorite show.

I personally can't stand boxing.

I haven't watched it at all, but I certainly heard all the stuff on the news last month about how one of the contestants from the show committed suicide afterwards.  Very sad, as it sounded like he was a really great guy...

Right here in Albany.

Shot himself in the face, I believe.

I've caught a couple of episodes, but I'm still trying to understand what Sly Stallone's involvement really is. He did a string of boxing movies? Was he himself ever an actual boxer, or is this a potential "Rocky VI" plug?
