嘿嘿,我也很納悶,為什麼都沒人討論ㄌㄟ,真的很好看,很熱血,他的配樂是Hans Zimmer 寫的喔,
不過每場比賽前的賽前記者會讓人感覺有點假.

不過看完還真的覺得有點感人,又很熱血. 不過中量級的5回合制,怎麼打完跟第一神拳畫的差那麼多啊
感覺只有一點小瘀青耶,好像也很難會看到KO,不知道這樣子的真人秀,有沒有作假的可能...

[轉貼]CONTENDER的一個參賽者 在節目播出前自殺

大概意思就是
NAJAI TURPIN 試著效仿「ROCKY」的故事。。。。
警察在他自殺後的第二天，宣布 他在他經常去的健身房外的停車場自己對著頭開槍。
CONTENDER 的制作人和主持 參加了他的追悼會，
接受采訪的時候說 NAJAI TURPIN是一個非常神秘的人，很安靜，很害羞。沒有人知道他的腦袋里面想的是什麼。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
後面的自己看 反正大概就是這個意思


PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Plucked from a tough neighborhood in Philadelphia, Najai Turpin tried to emulate the "Rocky" story and rise from unknown boxer to inspirational star fighter. Turpin even jogged the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art as an homage to the fictional fighter for Sylvester Stallone's boxing reality show, "The Contender." The footage got an earlier-than-expected premiere, played as part of a continuous highlight reel at Turpin's funeral.


Days after police say Turpin, 23, shot himself in the head in a parked car outside the gym where he trained, those closest to him remained baffled about why he took his life. Stallone, Sugar Ray Leonard and NBC executives were among the mourners who packed a Baptist church on Friday.

"He was a very mysterious man," said Stallone, who developed the boxing series with reality TV mogul Mark Burnett. "He was very quiet, very shy. You never knew what was on his mind."

Stallone and Leonard, one of the hosts of the TV show, paused at the open casket, where a pair of yellow boxing gloves rested atop his coffin.

Karen Conyers knew Turpin — or "Nitro" to his friends — since he was 8 and recalled how excited he was about earning a shot at stardom.

"It was somebody from the hood that made it," she said. "He was going to be big and famous. He was like somebody that came from the projects and was going to look out for everybody in the projects."

Turpin had a 13-1 record and had won a city Recreation Department title in Philadelphia before being picked for "The Contender." He seemed to have a happy home life with his girlfriend and 2-year-old daughter.




"When you see the show, you'll see he was so full of life," Stallone said. "When he was with his daughter and his girlfriend, he was so open, so expressive."

None of it seemed to match with a man who committed suicide only weeks before his big break that could have kick-started his career.

"The Contender," which follows the lives of 16 boxers competing for a million-dollar prize, began taping six months ago and is scheduled to debut March 7.

The episodes involving Turpin had already been taped, and footage showed Turpin smiling and sparring. One of the executive producers said he saw no signs of trouble from the young fighter.

"He was a tough kid. Everybody was afraid to fight him," said Jeff Wald. "He was perceived to be on one of the tougher guys."

Something, though, changed for Turpin when he returned home. Turpin's sister, Launita, said she had noticed a difference in her brother's attitude, that he had been staying out late and partying while slacking off in his training.

She told the Philadelphia Daily News this week that her brother often complained of being too tired to train.

Life back in the housing projects was nothing like the high life he had been living.

"This ain't no Hollywood show. This here is the real thing," said pastor Tokunbo Adelekan, who mixed the Book of Job with an LL Cool J rap in his eulogy.

Burnett said there were signs that Turpin's rough surroundings had taken a toll: He wouldn't sleep in his bed while the series was taping because he was used to sleeping under his bed or in his closet for fear of bullets or burglars.

NBC started a trust fund for the boxer's daughter, and viewers can contribute. Stallone said he never could have imagined this ending for Turpin.

"He said, 'I have greatness. I feel greatness for me,'" he said.

昨天（五月三日）的拳賽，大概是這三周來最精彩的一場吧！
從頭到尾毫無冷場，兩人從影集一開始（薛伊和阿曼）就不對盤，有事沒事就會相互挑釁一下，當兩人終於決定對賽時，我的心情也達到了最高峰！
當然，最想知道的就是兩個人究竟有沒有平日「嘴上」說的那麼厲害！

果然，五回合下來，沒讓我失望，以起以往兩場一面倒的情勢，本周真的是精彩太多了！
勝負我就不說了，星期天早上和下午有重播，有興趣的影友可以看看吧

喜歡拳擊的人，這影集真的不會讓你失望的！

雖然真的很熱血,很好看,可是有時後有點覺得是因為劇情安排,來決定輸贏判定...
就昨天那ㄧ場來看,怎麼每一回合的攻守差那麼麼多,ㄧ開始阿曼的猛攻,我心想他穩贏的了,
結果後面幾回合,怎麼他都不出拳了,而且發覺有時候慢動作鏡頭,就可以影響觀眾的判斷了.
應位他們揮拳的速度都好快喔.....可惜的是似乎都沒有機會可以KO...XD....
還有,打完一場拳賽,怎麼覺得兩個人都毫髮無傷~~~

雖說如此,還是很好看啦~~~~~~~

我也超喜歡看鐵拳新人王的
看完真的會感到超熱血滴

昨天看到這一集了，這位已故的選手NAJAI TURPIN與另一位選手比輸了…
第一回合對方佔了上風，但第二、第三回合，NAJAI TURPIN打的不錯呀，他個子雖小，但每每都用身體的力量將對方擠到圍繩旁，然後再予以攻擊。
可惜第四、五回合後繼無力，而對手很明顯在前兩回合省力，待第五回合大肆反攻，終於NAJAI TURPIN敗北。
結束後，他還和他的女兒玩的超開心，卻沒想到最後結束前…主辦人出來說，他已經自殺身亡了。
年紀很輕呀…真的。
無論如何，這影集真的超熱血的，喜歡格鬥的朋友們一定要看，這比摔角…要真實多了。

有些網友提出在拳賽過程中似乎有造假一事，小弟的看法是這樣。拳擊其實是個很費體力的運動，君不見每個拳手的運動量都很大，而且也必須長跑步以加強心肺功能（從第一神拳便可知曉），但一上場，大約一到兩分鐘就會開始喘了，除了揮拳、跳步之外，還有就是因比賽中隨之而來的壓力，會讓人喘不過氣來。
以前就曾聽過，如果揮空拳（即沒擊中對方），除了體力的消耗外，還有恐懼及急燥的兩種心情增加，這更會讓人在體力上憑添不少負擔。
因此，我們在這四個星期中，看到有不少拳手明明前一、兩局打的不賴，但到後來便後繼無力，這位NAJAI TURPIN便是如此，到了第五局，很明顯地看的出來他在挨打了，在硬撐了，雖然幾度將對手安傑羅擠到圍繩邊，但屢屢被他突破，終於一敗塗地。
不過輸了…也用不著自殺吧？唉…看著他和那兩歲的女兒玩得如此開心，卻有這樣的結局。

另一個話題是：第一周輸掉的彼得本周又因一人得了水痘而再次歸隊（這實在是有明顯炒做劇情的嫌疑），彼得這人的實力是該隊中最強的，在未參加「鐵拳新人王」時，他的紀錄是全勝！而且在世界排名也不賴，他的重新歸隊，會給兩隊帶來什麼樣的衝擊呢？

這影集真的不錯看，再次推薦！

根據費城警方調查，Nitro是在與女友爭執後，在女友下車後，舉槍自盡。

因此費城警方懷疑是由於女兒監護權的問題，導致Nitro想不開(Nitro也說女兒是他最愛)，

但是女友對此全盤否認，"他是我過去七年來唯一的男人"Nitro的女友說。

如果看賽後訪問及他跟女兒的互動，看起來Nitro已經開始踏出戰敗的陰影，

能讓一個敢挑戰身高比自己高的拳擊手想不開，有什麼比被奪去最愛更合理的理由?

這影集在美國雷聲大雨點小......收視不如預期....

大概是reality show 充斥......

不過....內容滿熱血的.....配樂加了不少分....但稍嫌矯情...

還有要拍第二季嗎 ?
