Contender Pre-View
by John Wayne Parr

Once again, Mark Barnett has worked his magic with his team of producers to bring back boxing’s favorite reality show, The Contender. Season Four will see us with a new exciting host in Tony Danza and two new trainers, Tommy Brooks and John Bray. They will hopefully add a new twist in the way the 16 fighters go through their paces as they try to reach that one dream of being crowned the Contender champion.

All of these boxers have had the taste of what it’s like to fight in the ring, but none of them have ever had so much at stake with the whole world watching their every move. Not only will the fights be exciting, but how the guys manage the added pressure of making friends with their future opponents will be interesting to watch.

Will they relax and enjoy the opportunity that this competition brings or will the stress of eating, sleeping and training with there opponents make them freak out and fight like a school girl??

It might sound easy fighting your friend, but when you are fighting your friend to knock him the F**K out, then you are entering a whole new world.

I am so excited once again to watch what unfolds over the next 12 weeks; only the strongest and most focused will have their hands raised. If you can’t handle the pressure, then it’s time to go home. Who will be first to go and who will become The Contender Champion?
