When I asked Jimmy Lange how he felt about "The Contender" as a TV show, he started with an analogy about "Stairway to Heaven."
Really enjoyed catching up with Jimmy for my Contender 20th anny series, talking Sly, Dan Quinn, "unrealistic reality," and more: www.boxingscene.com/articles/jim...

Jimmy Lange keeps it real about ‘The Contender’
Lange isn't a fan of reality TV, but the contestant on the first season of "The Contender" is grateful for his experience on the show and what it meant for his career.
