The rumors about who made the finals of The Contender proved correct, but what happens from here out is anybody's guess. On this week's episode, Sergio Mora outboxed Jesse Brinkley for seven rounds to move into the finals of the reality show's sixteen-boxer tournament. With a million dollar prize going to the winner, Mora will face Peter Manfredo on Tuesday. Despite poor ratings and criticism over the suicide of Najai Turpin, the series produced plenty of drama and excitement. NBC will air the bout live from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas on Tuesday night.
