One pronounces it "KON-tre-ver-si" with stress on the first syllable, saying "con" like the word "con" and the first "o" like the "a" in "china". The other says "ken-TRO-ver-si" with stress on the second syllable, pronouncing the first "o" like the "a" in "china" and the second like the "o" in "don" and "con". Both pronunciations are considered acceptable.
