Personally I felt he took it to a whole new level last night. Just pathetic ****. This man has to be the worst commentator in all of sports. Just an absolute cunt.

Two things in particular to note:

1) Katsidis and his win was briefly mentioned. They discussed his next move. One would automatically think they would bring up Juan Manuel Marquez. You know, former #2 p4p fighter in the world, fought two epic fights with the current p4p king, current Ring 135 pound champion, Mexico's current top fighter, guy Katsidis has said he wants next. But no, who does Andy bring up as his "dream" fight for Mick? Lenny ****ing Zappa. Seriously, this man is a dead set oxygen thief.

2) At one point he referred to boxrec.com and their ratings system as a "bible of boxing". Anyone who knows anything about boxing knows that those ratings are computer generated and have no real relevance. What a joke.

This is combined with his usual pitiful commentary that gives absolutely no insight at all, and his constant stroking off of Danny Green.

**** this cunt.

Lenny Zappa? Huh?

Well, I'm not one for calling the man a cunt, but I agree he is the worst and most uninformed commentator of any sport in the country.

Dennis Cometti would be much better!

I know, ridiculous. Typical Raymond though, totally clueless.

Andy Raymond is the anchor guys nothing less nothing more.

Blame the Fox producers...they need the thing scripted a bit better and points of topic should be spoken about by an ex fighter like Paul Briggs.

The idea is to get the ex pros talking technical points and let Raymond hold the intro, structure and timming of the show together.

No doubt, but you need an anchor who actually knows what's going on in the sport. The gaps in Raymond's boxing knowledge is a symptom of low professional standards. He doesn't appear to peruse the headlines day in day out, or take any notice of the sport beyond the bare minimum to maintain his job on Foxtel's fight nights.

Raymond is consistantly years behind in his understanding of where fighters stand in the rankings. As demonstrated with his "dream" pairing of Katsidis and Zappa, he hasn't read a boxing headline all week concerning Katsidis, Marquez or Amir Khan. That's unprofessional.

His old man, Mike Raymond, was a motor sports commentator for Channel Seven. The **** apple didn't fall far from the **** tree.

Was Mundine's ducking Golovkin mentioned? Biggest recent scandal in local boxing in my opinion.
