    tommy gallagher used to pretend to be some kind of old school hall of fame coach.

    gallagher reminds me of burt sugar, he does a good job of creating the appearance of an old school guy, but he has nothing of substance to say.

    bert sugar is a much better person than gallagher. bert speaks a lot of sense and also has a funny way speaking the truth

    Tomy Gallagher thought hewas on Rocky, complete nob.

    Pepe is great to watch and talks some amazing sense, I can not see how a guy can lose withhim in his corner while Mcgirt is a downright legend. They have given the programme some real credibility and made it worth watching. If only thoducers would give us more on those two and less shots of gloves and sun rises and my own pet hate the 10 mins showing the fighters with thier family.

    I agree the series is much better with some proper trainers .
    I also dislike the whole family stuff , if they won't to show a nice side to something why not just leave it at Sam Soliman trying to help guys out .
    Soliman has really shown himself to be a great guy during this series .

    I hate the way they get Sergio mora to sit beside Ray Leonard as if he's some type of expert himself . Half of the guys they're watching would beat Mora .

    it is cheesy, but they do it to try and draw fans who are more interested in the human elements of the show rather than the boxing itself. i'm all for anything that draws more fans to boxing. hopefully, but not likely, boxing will generate enough interest to return to network tv and discard ppv all together.

    Pepe and Buddy are actually good coaches. It is much better with them.

    I think The Contender need to see if they can get a 90 minute slot. Each episode could be amazing - training, full fight, some hollywood **** etc Before it was too hollywood and now I feel its a little too rushed though better.

    Gallagher was just a clown. Pleased that prat ***** Stallone has been ditched as well. However, the number of actual fights this series has been halved, which I think is a mistake. Soliman,Smith,Bika and Codrington are all good fighters, the rest are rather poor

    Which guys of the 10 would beat Mora ?
    Codrington, Soliman and Bika for sure.
    The rest, maybe. I think the ones that would beat Mora is because they are naturally heavier. Most of them are SMW while Mora is a natural LMW.
