Does anyone else love this show? Dang...I get so pumped up during the fights...ESPN makes it all dramatic and stuff...but its still good.
Some of the stories are touching and downright tear-jerkers..
Anyways...its tuesday...so its on tonight...
Keeping me busy while I wait for LOST and 24 |

| I think the sound effects they add completely ruin the show. I thought by putting it on ESPN, they'd focus more on boxing, unfortunately that wasn't the case. |

Big fan of the show but its annoying the way they edit the fights. Real fight fans can tell its BS, and I realize they edit it for TV but just show more boxing! Every fight going 5 rounds back and forth will get very repetetive, just show the real fights. Not a big fan of the sound effects either.
My picks to win are Walter Wright (impressed me a lot last week) or Steve Forbes (a good fighter).

Good fight tonite, Walter Wright vs K9 should be fun. Ive been rooting for K9, but Im not sure how good he is because the fight w/ Michael Clark was hard to tell.

| I will watch it if I notice it is on but I agree that the edited fights and sound effects really hurt the show. Same thing goes for the cheesy shots of the crowd's reactions. That stuff makes the fights seem scripted. |

| I agree with u guys. The sound effects and edits do hurt the show, but I still love it. Very entertaining fight 2night. I was glad Vinroy lost. He was talkin all that mess and got beat. Wright really really impressed me with that clinic he put on, but I hope K9 beats him. Boy needs to get a bit of that arrogance beat out of him. Anyway, great show. I'm curious about next week's show, especially after that teaser @ the end of 2night's show. |
