a bit late, but this show was outstanding. Everybody i know that watched it, or i recommended it to all loved it. To whoever said it, they edited the fights to cut all the garbage out (grappling), and used slow motion and other effects to make it better. Made it seem like a movie
Ive only liked a couple reality shows, but this is by far the best. I can only hope they have another one, but the ratings werent the greatest, so hopefully they give it another chance (what else does NBC have these days anyways?) or another network picks it up.
the unintentional comedy was off the scale as well. Sugar Ray coming off like a robot, and than the man, the myth, the legend Sly Stallone. He tipped the scale several times, notably when he was giving boxing tips to Peter Manfredo (i guess playing a boxer in a movie qualifies him) as well saying 'this is gonna be interesting' 15 times a show. Manfredo's dad looking like he'd beat his son with a hammer if he lost. They laid on the family stuff a bit too thick though, thats maybe my only complaint.
Joey Gilbert, Jesse Brinkley and Alfonso Gomez were my favourites.
To the guys who had it spoiled, (which blows) Id still watch it, it gets better as it goes.
Oh, and the shows theme song is quite possibly the greatest piece of music in history
