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?

missed beginning of 4th round due to the commercial break. apparently Jesse has a cut over his left eye. Jesse looks tired. Alfonso getting great punches. Jesse looks hurting.

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.

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.
