Anyone catch The Contender?

I wanted to see the series for a long time, but missed it during school except the end of one episode. Anyhow they had the marathon last weekend, followed by the finale last night. I LOVED IT! I wish Najai didn't pass and would have made it to the finals. (I was cheering for him once I got into the show!) His story was truly sad, yet very inspirational to me. I also thought Jesse was a cool guy. Those were my two favorite out the show. I think Jesse and I have similar personalities. I like to smile through hard times, because stress ain't fun. He also got serious when it came down to it. I really loved the fight against Anthony, because I ain't like him much! (That uppercut sent him to the promised land!) I just felt the show was a great idea, crossing sports and reality television. I just wanted to know what other people thought...

man I missed it, but I'm a true boxing fan... Did you see that Corrales vs. Castillo fight? If not, you better find a friend that has it on tape... Best fight of a lifetime.

I ended up being pretty busy during most of the season, but I did watch the finale. That was a great fight! I liked the whole concept of the show and would have like to check out the next season. Unfortunately, the season finale was also the series finale. Yea....they got cancelled. But who knows, maybe they'll be able to come up with another competition that is just as entertaining.
