Dr. Fong Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Two for two in my book. Last night's ep. was great. I'm really enjoying this show so far even though it's getting shelled in the ratings. I hope that doesn't effect its chances for another season. I read that the finals will be live and broadcast in May. Can't wait for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTS Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I am ... I think more and more will watch as it gets down to the wire. But it really is a fasinating show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have given a nickel for Gomez's chances to beat that guy. But he took it to him and won a hard fought exciting match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwovince Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I love it so far. Ratings will be better now seeing its going to be on sunday nights.

Fake-Fat Sunny Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Thanks for the posts as this may be worth a look. All I had seen was the commericals which seemed to emphasize this more as a soap opera using boxing as an excuse for smaltz with an aging Sly Stalone and an aging Sugar Ray Leonard as the folks trying to bring some validity (Leonard seemed to be a has-been with this use and it simply reminded me that Stallone was a never was as far as athletics is concerned). However, if there is some good sports here I should tune in. Does the actual boxing match happen in the last 10 minutes or so, so I can restrict my watching to that?

Yes, the boxing match is the last 10-15 minutes. Most of the rest is hyping the personalities and the upcoming bout. Surprisingly, there wasn't an overabundance of face time for Sly or Sugar Ray.

But I found that watching the rest of the show builds up to the final match really well. Give it a chance, I think you'll find that it's a good show all the way through.

TYSONKO1 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I'll check it out. i must admit i gave up on watching professional boxing somewhere in between Mike Tyson biting someone's ear off and FanMan descending upon a match. 271670[/snapback] You got a problem with me jerky? Ill eat your kids Love the show only problem is Boxing has fewer fans than Volleyball. Its sad for the state of boxing which Is my second favorite sport. Heavyweights make more dough playing football now adays. Lighter weight classes are where all the moneys at now Some great fighters are reaching the twilight of their careers I really hope some real talent emerges from this show.

But all the PPV and ripoffs have soured me to it. I used to be able to watch boxing for free on national TV. back when they had championship bouts of the GREATEST fighters on ABC Wide World of Sports. FREE. watched with my dad and bros on saturdays. Ali, Frazier, Forman, SR Leonard, Roberto Duran (el manos de piedra), Hagler, Hearns, etc. no way I'll pay for a boxing match after seeing the best ever on reg. TV. No way.
