Jonathan all talk and no action
Jonathan thought he fought a great fight against Jesse who he had be lipping off to all week but in the end the judges went for Jesse and poor Jonathan lost. He was sure he won as he did not have a mark on his face and his hot soon to be wife was pretty confident in him as well. There might have a been a lack of skills on Jonathan´s part as he is young and hot headed. So this might not be the last you see of this great man.

NBC has joined with Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone ("Rocky"), executive producer Mark Burnett (NBC's "The Apprentice," "Survivor") and Jeffrey Katzenberg, Co-Principal, DreamWorks SKG for "The Contender," a new unscripted series about the search for the next boxing superstar.

"The Contender" will follow 16 professional boxers as they come to a training camp to follow their dream of becoming a champion boxer. The driving force behind the series will be the pursuit of the American dream and the natural trials, tribulations and heartbreak inherent in that quest. The canvas of the show gives viewers a first hand look into the real life hopes, triumphs and defeats of the contestants and how this single-minded, consuming commitment affects their families.

The final two boxers will fight live at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on May 24th for one-million dollars and the chance to change their lives and the lives of the people they love forever.

"This series will tell compelling dramatic unscripted stories as we watch these 16 men follow their dreams of being a Contender," said Burnett. "We're looking to reclaim a part of America that has been missing where are the Mohammad Alis? Where are the Sugar Ray Leonards?"

Stallone and international sports legend Sugar Ray Leonard will serve as both hosts and boxing mentors to this group of fighters as they each try to improve their skills in order rise to the rank of professional boxers.

"The Contender" is a joint production between Mark Burnett Productions, DreamWorks Television and Rogue Marble. Stallone, Burnett and Katzenberg are the executive producers.
