I've been wanting to watch more though, after seeing a rocky marathon.

Anyone else still watching this? Two episodes have gone by and not a single post until now.

Why ESPN does not sign the new season? I saw the older seasons in AXN, except the third season.

The Contender Asia was shot in Singapore between mid-2007.

The fights have been just okay so far. Nothing really spectacular, but I still love the show. The preview for next week says the fight is a good one, so that's something to look forward to. I'm missing Pepe Correa too. He was awesome.

Anybody watch the premiere last night? I was pleasantly surprised, it was the best first episode in a while. Better than the last two seasons at least. Mainly cause of Felix who has to be one of the most likable guys to ever be on the show. I really hope he wins, the way he talks amuses me...it's just so laid back. But his story about the hurricane and everything was really sweet and he seems like a really stand up guy...kind of like Alfonso was...so i'd be happy to see him go all the...

Well, I saw webisode 12 last Friday. It sucks more watching it online than on the tube ... fucking buffering. But, I meant to comment from the last episode that I knew John Wayne "Pahh" would beat Zidov (the class clown), although I kind of liked Zidov. Lucky at cards - unlucky at fighting. John Wayne certainly gave him a lesson, knocked him down quite a few times. But not like this past episode, the last semifinal match, where Dzabar knocked Soren the fuck out!! I was...

Oh crap, Contender Muay Thai has disappeared from the Comcast schedule and episode #11 is now online. Dare I say this is now Pirate Master - the remaining episodes will only be shown online?!?!? Dang it, no more DVR'ing this thing.

Ok, I've got to chime in. I did start watching Contender Muay Thai, and the last episode I saw on TV was Thursday Sept 25th (the first quarterfinal where the 2 Thai's squared off - and I wanted Naurepol to win, dammit!!). Then I saw that the Contender wasn't on Comcast's schedule until 10/17 or something. But then I went online last Friday 10/3 and watched episode #10, the episode that had the second quarterfinal matchup (the young Scottish dude beat the old Swede). Why...

Not only is The Contender still around, but apparently they're shooting a new season, except they replaced Sugar Ray Leonard with... Tony Danza. http://www.realityblurred..._4/2008_Sep_29_danza_host

Seriously, this show should've died long ago. Is this going to be season 4 or 5?

Season 1 was amazing and easily ranks as one of the best seasons in...

It is the same network that did Survivor reruns, but yeah, it was OLN back then. Anyway, just to clarify, The Contender 4 hasn't started airing yet--the one they're showing now is The Contender Asia. But Louie's right, this show has been pretty crappy for a while now, which is especially a shame since season 1 was amazing and probably one of my top 5 reality seasons ever. The last two seasons had their moments but the production values are obviously lower and I guess being on an...

I think they are two episodes in, I didn't keep it on long.

They were in the same place as always, a lot of people with accents, all different trainers (naturally cause it's a different sport).

They have the schedule on the website if you want to catch up, assming you even have the channel. Wasn't this the same channel that had Survivor reruns only with a different name? I think it was

The Contender, which was cancelled by ESPN after two seasons, has found a third home: Versus, the network formerly known as OLN.

For the fourth season, the network will move the show to Singapore and feature teams of American and international 200-pound cruiserweight boxers. In addition, starting at the end of this month, Versus will air an Asian spin-off, The Contender Muay Thai. It airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET starting...

Geez, what an amateurish fight. Sakio was inviting Jaidon to hit him when he was throwing those wide looping shots. Not a whole lot of strategy involved, Jaidon. If a guy is swinging from the bleachers, nail him with short, straight shots.

Also nice to see the token "Fan favorite destroys some barely-known guy" third-place match follow the same pattern.

Bravo was by far the fan favorite over K9.

Anyways, great fight, one of the best I've ever seen in my life. Wasn't really rooting for either guy but found myself rooting for Sakio as the match went on.

Awesome fight, and I'm happy with the winner.

Also nice to see the token "Fan favorite destroys some barely-known guy" third-place match follow the same pattern. <3 Sam.

Despite the idiotic twist, I'd probably still put it over season 2, as at least Sam, Sakio, and Jaidon stood out more to me than anyone on S2 besides maybe K9. Grady who?

Best first round ever

Get him Jaidon!

LOL at Sakio carrying around 2 flags, neither of them being the American. Pleas espn if you ever do this show again (which I hope you don't) only cast people who can speak English. Kthx
