The Contender - TV Series Reviews: Soundtrack 2008-05-06 - I loved the TV series but loved the Soundtrack even more. I wish I knew who scored this series but bravo for said score!
Out of this world! 2007-07-24 - This show was phenomenal let me tell you. I had to break out the kleenex a few times b/c the stories behind these fighters is so similiar to a lot of stories but they decided to take it a step further by fighting thier way out of it literally. Such champions, man. I am extremely frustrated and disappointed in the network for pulling this show b/c it was a classic. You had a combination of entertainment, drama, romance, etc and the whole works-yet greed took all that away. I wasn't a boxing fan in the beginning and I'm still not a boxing fan but you couldn't tell me that as I watched this show. I was hooting and hollering, standing up and fighting right along with my favorites like Freddy Curiel and Sergio Mora. Man it was priceless-the music and slow motions behind the fights were tight and just dreamy. You have to check out this show-you won't be disappointed.
An Incredible Production 2007-06-26 - The Contender is an amazing series on several levels. True, there is the raw appeal of boxing that men (and women) have loved for decades. However, what makes this series spectacular are all the finer and additional points of production. The soundtrack by Hans Zimmer is unbelievably well done and greatly stirs your emotions. I believe the editing and cinematography enhance each fight to be even more dramatic than live boxing. The back story for each fighter causes you to feel for his cause and sympathize or rejoice with his family. All these things combined in one tv show are why I found myself on the edge of my seat for every single episode.
I have been waiting... 2007-03-05 - I have been patiently waiting since the first season ended for this to be realesed on DVD the second season was good but the people werent as good as the first season and i liked how the first season had a competition before a fight. I think i speak for everyone whos ever watched this show that the first season stirred up emotions that no other show has ever done.
