I think that stinks ... the fan favorite fight was for that amount ... I would have thought the bronze fight would be for more ...

first 30 minutes is talking about (and showing recaps) of the 4 fighters

End of first round - they didn't say, but I think Jesse had it. When they bell rang, they kept throwing punches.

I think it's going to be great fight!

3rd round - crowd cheering for Gomez.

Jessie stumbled back and fell. A few punches later, Jesse's mouthpiece fell out and they both kept fighting! Neither backed away.

Gomez may have had this round.

Crowd cheering for Gomez at end of round.

I agree Ladytex - I thought $250,000 or $500,000 for the Bronze.

Maybe they each got paid more than the others to fight?

Bronze fight is 5 rounds which equals about 30 mins.
I believe Championship fight is 7 rounds?
They did 30 minutes of recaps in the beginning.

So I think there will be at least a 15 min. break between the Bronze and Championship fight - where they'll probably discuss the Bronze fight during that time. (i'm guessing.)

Championship fight will probably start in 2nd hr. I'll let you know.

Pamy - this was just the Bronze fight between Alfonso & Jesse (who lost in the final 4).

The main event - Peter & Sergio will be in teh 2nd hour

I didn't know about the Bronze match either - I read it here. I didn't see it mentioned on Yahoo's website or in my online program description.

I was also sad to see Jesse lose. He looked tired and hurting the last 2 rounds.
But I would have been sad if Alfonso lost also. It's sad to see any of them lose (well except Anthony)

But it was a good fight. At least it wasn't a knockout.

I hope Jesse got some money for fighting.

ditto Essence!

The Championship fight looks like it's starting at 9:18pm ET - so around 1 hr & 18 min into the show.
The fighters came out at around 9:13 (according to my cable box) and then went to commercial break.

Interesting, the guy who is behind the music for The Contender (Hush http://www.mchush.com/) is actually a rapper - and will be doing something later in the year with fellow Detroit rapper Eminem.
Although the "composer" is David Vanacore, and he seems to do all the Mark Burnett shows - as if that wasn't obvious.

He rapped to the theme song right before bringing out Peter & Sergio.
