PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue

"Fight results so far" |
We've discussed the effect of editing with the fights on The Contender in other threads. To emphasize that, here are the results of the three fights shown on TV so far, according to the judges' scorecards. Note that we've actually only had ONE close fight (the first one) -- and Peter would've needed a knockdown in the last round to get a draw.Oh, the fights take place every 3 days, and scoring is on a "10-point must" system (meaning that the winner of the round gets 10 points): Fight 1: 8-18-04, Alfonso Gomez Jr. v. Peter Manfredo Jr. Scores Judge 1: 48-47 (in other words, 3 rounds for Alfonso, 2 for Peter -- the winner of the last round won the fight) Judge 2: 49-46 (4-1 Alfonso; Peter would've needed to win the last round by "10-8" on this card to tie on this card; that normally requires a knockdown) Judge 3: 50-45 (5-0 Alfonso. Huh?) Fight 2: 8-21-04, Jesse Brinkley v. Jonathan Reid Scores Judge 1: 50-45 (5-0 Jesse) Judge 2: 50-45 (ditto) Judge 3: 49-46 (4-1 Jesse) Fight 3: 8-24-04, Ishe Smith v. Ahmed Kaddour Scores Judge 1: 50-45 (5-0 Ishe) Judge 2: 50-45 (ditto) Judge 3: 49-46 (4-1 Ishe) Ishe and Jesse just had to stay on their feet in Round 5 and they won in dominating fashion. I'll post these as the series goes on, so that we can keep track of how much we're being misled....

2. "RE: Fight results so far" |
I talked to Ishe after the show last night, and he said he thought Ahmed probably took one round. Like all fighters (but seemingly legitimately in this case) he felt he won pretty easily, and that his body shots were taking it out of Ahmed. (Tommy Gallagher said much the same on the official site). Ishe said the atmosphere in the warehouse for that fight was tremendously electric, it being the first "grudge" match of the series. Apparently, Mark Burnett came to see him (and presumably Ahmed) in the dressing room before the fight, and said that he really appreciated, and was impressed by, the fact that they were taking this dangerous fight so early.One other snippet he told me that I thought was pretty funny. Apparently, after every fight, Sly, Ray, and the celebs in the audience all retired to Sly's office for an after-party. The fighters found themselves looking longingly over in the direction of the office, just yards away, and wishing they could join in, and feeling like monkeys in a zoo as the party-goers looked out at the office windows at them.

I wonder if Tony Danza was invited to join the celebrities in Stalone's office. I can visualize James Cann and Chuck Norris slapping Danza around, and taunting him with "Who's the Boss?" chants. (yea, I know Danza used to Box, don't ruin my dream).

6. "RE: Fight results so far" |
I kinda assumed that they couldn't join in simply because the whole point was for them to stay in fighting shape all the way through. But you'd think Sly and the crowd would at least have the consideration to have the party in a bar down the street or something ...

It's all good. He was just cruising through, kinda misread your post and thought you were calling him out. You know what fighters are like. It's all cool. He wanted me to pass this on: "Tell the folks to e-mail me from now on, because that was a one time deal with me coming on the boards. Just let them know that for me; I dont want them to think I'm dissing them." Everyone is more than welcome to e-mail him, and he'll reply.

9. "Additional results" |
LAST EDITED ON 03-28-05 AT 11:00 AM (EST)Fight 4: 8-27-04, Sergio Mora v. Najai Turpin Scores Judge 1: 49-46 (4-1 Sergio) Judge 2: 49-46 Judge 3: 49-46 Fight 5: 8-30-04, Peter Manfredo Jr. v. Miguel Espino Scores Judge 1: 48-47 (3-2 Peter) Judge 2: 48-47 Judge 3: 48-47 For fight 6, though, it doesn't look like we're going to get to see the scorecards, because it looks as if the fight will be stopped on a TKO.

11. "Fights 7 and 8" |
LAST EDITED ON 04-22-05 AT 01:24 AM (EST)Clearly, I shouldn't go on vacation. Too many duplicate threads start up. Bout 7: 9-5-04, Juan de la Rosa v. Tarick Salmaci Judge 1: 50-45 (Juan wins all rounds) Judge 2: 50-45 (ditto) Judge 3: 49-46 (Juan 4, Tarick 1) Bout 8: 9-7-04 (NOTE - 2 DAYS), Joey Gilbert v. Jimmy Lange Judge 1: 49-46 (Joey 4-1) Judge 2: 48-47 (Joey 3-2) Judge 3: 48-47 (ditto) First round over, and every bout has been a unanimous decision except for Anthony's TKO. Time for that to change....

12. "Fight 9" |
I'm going to post this based on VFW's info; I'll change it if it's wrong when the info comes out from the California Athletic Commission:Fight 9: 9-10-04, Sergio Mora v. Ishe Smith Scores Judge 1: 50-45 (5-0 Sergio) Judge 2: 49-46 (4-1 Sergio) Judge 3: 46-49 (4-1 Ishe) Talk about judges who didn't see the same fight! I wonder who the judges were...

Thanks AyaK! I said the samething lastnight. It is so funny that we can watch the same fight but see it totally different.

17. "Right" |
LAST EDITED ON 04-26-05 AT 11:34 AM (EST)Cappy, you're right, and the ring announcer DID say that it was a split decision. Burnett chose to edit that out of the show. I posted this in another thread, but I don't want to link to that thread: On the Web clip, the ring announcer says "the winner by split decision ... Sergio Mora." We don't know whether the announcer said anything else that was edited out, but we clearly hear that. However, in episode 9, we merely hear the ring announcer say, "the winner ... Sergio Mora." In episode 10, we hear the ring announcer say, "the winner by decision ... Sergio Mora." Thus, Burnett edited out AT LEAST "by split decision" in episode 9 and "split" in episode 10 -- and yet the edits were not detectable without having seen the Web clip. Ah, the wonders of tape editing ... which is why I don't think anyone in his or her right mind could form an opinion about who won the Sergio-Ishe fight based on the edited clips that Burnett shows. NOT ONE of the judges scored the fight as close -- and yet they formed two very different interpretations about the victor.

21. "RE: Yeah" |
This particular fight aside. I think it is kind of goofy that boxing rules require a Judge to pick a winner of every round. Surely there are rounds in most every fight that could best be described as tossups.
