Recollections of the contender season one: This show was awesome!!! I remember Peter Manfredo vs Sergio Mora in the finals! Cameron Diaz was cheering "go Peter!" Ringside. I remember it was a close fight with Mora working harder In the trenches infighting, he wanted it a little more, was hungry! I didn't anticipate him winning the belt though, I thought Pete was gonna get the decision in a close fight oh well in fact later in his career prior to getting stopped by Joe Calzaghe prematurely; Freddie Roach called Peter a sponge, absorbing boxing knowledge from him like a true student! But yeah Sergio, I'm glad where he is today, calling fights for dazone, with his catchphrase ( he says) "in this game you're only as good as how hungry you are for" something along those lines lol. I remember najai turpin may his soul rest in paradise, the depressed kid who used boxing as his outlet. It's unfortunate his demise of being prematurely unalived r.i.p. r.i.p. What do y'all remember from this series? Was it a walk down memory lane and what about Oscars show? The next great champ lol. That's a whole other animal. Ps remember the sparq test rendered to the newer maybe second series of the show? Lol with Sam Soliman and such...
Wasn't Sergio Mora the first winner? I just remember watching the intro as a kid. The intro was fantastic.
