The Contender will continue on Versus at cruiserweight - and could have names in it

It will begin in December, with 11 one-hour episodes and a two-hour season finale, with American and international teams, and take place in Singapore.

Versus will also air three other live boxing events involving TOC.

Some news items on it from Dan Rafael:

 

any fighter who is a real contender should not enter that shitty program.

The moment a figther is part of "the contender" people assume he is a creation of the show. Like a celebrity coming out of a reality show.

 

Nwodo, Banks and Ehikamenor are the only names that could possibly come out of that list.

I think it's great that Versus is taking over. The network as a whole might actually take an interest in this show and they seem like they could try and develop the program into other seasons.

I really can't stand SRL on this show as a host.

And next....on the contender....ishe smith....is angry....jaidon codrington....has a tough....moment.....brian vera.....is from texas.

 

I also can't see Enzo Calzaghe doing this considering he has a Cruiserweight contender of his own.

 

Ola Afolabi is the hidden gem in that list imho, I think he could pull it off.
I seen him pole-axe Eric Fields, that was a brutal beating.

 

There's so much talent at cruiser. It's a shame they didn't use this division earlier.
