| The problem with the show was A) not showing the full fights which was really stupid and B) unlike the Ultimate Fighter, none of the guys on the Contender were really good enough to go out and make a big splash in boxing. They were usually mediocre fighters or washed up vets. I think the last season was on Versus or something like that months back. Not sure if its done or continuing | |

| I loved the first season...after that I just couldn't get into it anymore. It was like American Idol, 60 minutes of tv for 5 minutes of what u watched it for. | |

| I watched multiple episodes on verses. A couple contender winners have been in major fights. I like the show more than TUF. | |

| I think TUF is way better than the Contender. The one thing boxing does have on MMA though is how fuckin awesome 24/7 is as a leadup to huge fights | |

| My problem is that IMO, 95% of the time the Contender fights are boring now and most of the TUF fights are rreally good...again, just my opinion. | |
