I think the fight between Garth and Victor got a bit out of hand but i think Victor was getting a little cocky so Garth had to do what he had to do….Good onya Garth

I would also like to mention how well Josh took his defeat, he took it like a man. All the other contenders seemed like they had lost everything after loosing but Josh knew as long as his family were still OK and healthy, that’s all that mattered..

Ive been following boxing all my life been lucky enough to see some of the best fights this country has ever seen . 1 of the best fights Ive ever seen was between Barry Micheal vs Jerome aorist not sure of the spelling but a top fight anyway . i backed Barry with the ring side bookies , Barry won, i lost the money because i backed Barry 2 win bye knock out . that’s when boxing was boxing . Ive been following the contender since it started all i can say & i mean no disrespect 2 any boxer , but what a load of bull s**t this Australian contender is . they cant even get the trainers name right correct me if im wrong but last time i seen Paul briggs his name was Nattan , both brothers are gentlemen . i can see who’s going 2 win it sticks out like dogs balls ,o’ well as they say that’s boxing . the Aussie contender is rigged as was green vs Jones

I recorded the fight and just saw it. What a shame and embarrassment for Australian Sport and on a personal level an injustice to Junior Talipeau. Anyone with eyes could see that this was not just a win but a walkover. The first thing that came to mind after the result was that there must have been a hidden agenda behind the result and I say this because all the judges were way off the mark! Keep fighting on Junior, this one will go down as one of your best victories regardless of the outcome. Shame, shame and more shame be heaped upon the heads of the Contender Series!!

I have watched every series of the contender and watch boxing and MMA everyday of my life bloody life…. My great grandfather was a trainer and boxer and its in my blood!

Shame on you contender Australia. You will never have me tune in to another episode of what is now a very low point in boxing for Australia!

To Junior… you know that you won that fight…. your hand speed is excellent! Your foot work is great! (Work on your guard) and you my friend deserve a shot at the mouth Mundine.

Contender Australia: Bring him back….. or forever be known as a reality TV show with well paid judges!

I watched the fight between Victor and Junior last night on N.Z Sky and after watching that fight i thought it was a disgrace that victor had so called won the fight. How can the judge say Victor had won when clearly junior had won. The whole staduim and blue team and even the trainers had thought junior had won.Just goes to show money pays the judges probably took bribes.They are old as get them off the judging panel. These are the fighters dreams and they cost Junior his chance to become contender.
Nader needs to shut his mouth sick of hearing him talk. Cant wait till someone smacks him around he was lucky to get away with the win from Les.

If The N.S.W Boxing association wishes for people to take their sport in a serious manner, they need to seriously consider these flawed decisions made by these judges in the previous two fights of The Contender Series , Australia. In the previous years, Boxing has become a Sport marred by controversy,bribery and lets face it and tell it like it is , some damned awful bulls**t decisions. The Series has lost me…I refuse too watch this crap

Honestly after last night I think the judges should be looked at for bribery. It was a disgusting display and quite clearly even to a novice that Junior won.

You know I thought last weeks result was a little bit tough but last nights result between Junior and Victor was a joke. If you have the same judges through-out the series then you will find out what terrible judges they are. If I didn’t know any better it would appear you are trying to get ratings by causing controversy however that thought process will end up damaging the show. I like the series, I started off tapping it because I thouight it might be very good motovational material but now I will not be watching the rest of the series because I think the judges are not real judges (the terniology conflack packet and Don King comes to mind). Get fairdinkgum people get sunny back tell Victor – as much as I liked him to give back his win, bring Sunny back. Unitl that happens you have lost me as a viewer.

What a load of rubbish… Last night was a rip off… 1st time I watched the show and probably the last until the winner meets Mundine… I dont know how to score boxing but Junior was the clear winner in my eyes and my hubby believes it should have been scored 3/5 or 4/5 to Junior… If I was Victor I would have handed the win over… Hope Junior continues on…
