Contender: Anyone watch the premiere

[IronKing]

For all the boxing fans! The new show by Slyvester Stallone and Sugar Ray Leonard

How did you like the first episode of Contender. I thought the first fight was good. I didn't expect the underdog(forgot his name) to win. He was on the West team. I thought the guy from the East team would win until the first round was over.

I think his name was Alfonso Ramirez or something like that. I'm hooked for sure.

Saw it and I have to say that it exceeded my expectations. I guess the fight makes the show better, I can do without the "sad story" bit but, all in all it was a good start. I was very impressed with Gomez (from Guadalajara), the kid stepped up to the plate and went against a better fighter (on paper). Kid was tough. I was actually thinking the Manny (east coast) was going to be one of the star fighters. Good start ... hope it keeps that tempo.
