Great fight this evening. Peter Manfredo and Sergio Mora fought a great fight.
Sergio looked distracted in the early rounds but managed to get it together and tire out Manfredo by the later rounds. In the end, Manfredo believed he had won raised his hand before the decision was announced, but Mora won all the judge's score cards.
It is too bad the series was not renewed for next season, but the final three (Sergio, Peter, and Arturo Gomez will continue to fight).

Being from the east coast and Italian, I was pulling for Manfredo but damn, Sergio can fight! I'm glad they scored it the way they did....he deserved the win.

There was a much better fight on ESPN2 tonight. I tried watching this show before but it had very little fighting.

Alfonso took Jesse to town in the first fight and I agree Sergio dominated Manfredo, I don't think Manfredo actually thought he had won but held his hand high to indicate he's still a champ and fought hard...

I didn't get that feeling..when they began to call out the scores, he looked very confident that he had won. Funny that both of his only defeats came from being on The Contender....

I watched it again last night and you might be right he may have thought he had won... pretty arogant to think that after the way Sergio dominated him

what I found amazing is how fatigued sergio was and could still throw flurries and follow through with them that guy has skills, he totaly deserved it but in saying that I would like to see him and gomez fight.

WTF? How did I miss the finale? I guess I wasn't paying attention to what night it was on because I always watch it on DVR after recording it Sunday night. Damn it all to hell. I really thought that Sergio wouldn't be ready for Manfredo after fighting Jesse. Even though Sergio pretty much dominated Jesse, I am sure it still takes a toll on your body. Congrats to him, instant millionare.
