VERSUS Commentators are HORRIBLE. Amazingly bad

I have no problem with the Versus guys, I'm actually glad they were drilling Bob Arum for all the shit he puts on the network. The worst boxing team was when Ferdie Pacheco and Bobby Czyz were with Showtime but HBO is the best ofcourse especially when Larry Merchant is there :D I so agree about Pacheco, Czyz, and Albert being the worst ever. I really, really hated them.

I liked in the last Fields fight that the commentators were talking trash about the opponents Fields has faced. They know he is being fed cupcakes and I was happy they were speaking about it. Ooops probably shouldn't have said that. Im afraid Fields could come on here and see that I posted something bad about him and repremand me. So if you guys don't see me on here for few days you know Ty made me pay for what I have said.

I don't really mind the Versus commentators. Nick Charles (who also does ShoBox) and Wally Matthews. I actually found it funny when they were arguing over Yuri Foreman last night about his religious beliefs. In that he's trying to be a rabbi and restricts him from seriously hurting people and he would rather win by decision. My favorite crew is the HBO cast with Lampley, Merchant, and Steward. I try not to make a big deal about the commentators it just really comes down to the fight.

Bob Sheridan? That guy has been calling fights for like 50 years now. He knows soooo much about boxing. THe only reason he sounds a little iffy is because he works for Don King, and ALWAYS is very biased towards Kings fighters. Is it unprofessional? Yea, but if he doesnt do it then he doesnt have a job. He gets very into the fights and i love that. He is very passionate and he can make a boring fight exciting just from his frenzied responses. His call for Mormeck-Bell 2 was fantastic I can take or leave the Versus guys, but I'd choose them anyday over Bob Sheridan. It's time for that fat old guy to retire. His commentary on the Phillips-Spinks fight was embarrassing.

I don't think too much about the Versus guys. Neither bad thoughts nor good ones. Which I guess is a good thing, in a way. They don't interfere with the fight, but they don't enhance it. I don't mind them.

I would prefer the versus guys.They are way better than the Showtimes people and less annoying than max kellerman(who doesnt know his shit, he might no some statistics and numbers,name) or Lampley who i cant suffer,( and who is also a wife-beater).Those versus guys are a breath of fresh air

But there is a difference between Honesty and being a good commentator. Joe Tessitore telling us that Vera is basically a no hoper against Lee, is honesty. Teddy Atlas telling us that the main event of a show he works for is a farce, is honesty. Nick Charles telling us that a fight we are currently watching is boring, is being a bad commentator. Being a terrible one in fact. His job is to make it more interesting for us, not let us in on the fact the fight is boring... yes, we can tell Nick, thanks. Yeah, I understand what you saying... they're not the best, but at least they're objective in their assessments!

I was thinking about that earlier, I actually respected them for their honesty b/c they said EXACTLY what they felt & commented on what they saw, instead of being OBVIOUSLY biased like the HBO commentators But there is a difference between Honesty and being a good commentator.

I agree, Clottey was dominating the fight. He literally took no good shots and landed at will when counter punching. He had the perfect game plan for the fight, was shutting the guy out, either would have shut him out on the cards or stopped him at some point and they say he's not doing enough "not letting his hands go". Brutal

Bob Popa isn't bad. The only thing he doesn't have is the "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!" voice like Jim and Tessitore have.

The Versus guys are both much better than Max Kellerman, Teddy Atlas and Bob Papa IMO. Papa is really starting to annoy me lately. Lennox Lewis is not annoying, but he sometimes sounds rather stupid for a commentator. I don't have any problem with them, and I'm looking forward to the Versus broadcast of the Hatton and Malignaggi fights in Manchester, England. Thats just insane....those dipshits couldn't carry Kellermans jock strap. While Kellerman may be annoying sounding, he knows WTF he is talking about.

They are almost as bad as that shitdick thatdoes the American broadcast for fights in Germany and Russia.......Don't know his name but he has no clue WTF he is talking about most of the time.

Bob Papa is, IMO, the 3rd best commetator in sports today. His calls for the giants games and for fights are amazing. But 2ndly, niether of these Versus guys even has the voice for commentating. Charles is to nasal and the other guy is plain annoying, and not funny period. They arent equipped for the job, despite their knowledge which is questionable. Kellerman knows his shit AND he has a good radio voice. Atlas is meh. IMO. But he knows a ton about boxing

I cannot stand these 2. Am i the only one? I literally muted the TV to watch last nights card after they kept bitching, not even kidding. NOTHING satisfys these guys. They are ALWAYS complaining and moaning about something. If they dont get the KO in the first round, they are good. Case closed. Clottey for example, has fought on their air in the past and he has a safety first style (and he has every right to be right now because he has a title shot coming up shortly). So they bitch and complain and moan for all 5 rounds. Then that 6 round fight starts with that prospect, but this guy doesnt have a safety first style and instead makes the fight very difficult for himself yet very entertaining... Yet they Bitch and moan about THAT as well. I mean cmon, shut these guys up already. They are annoying as hell to listen to, they state their opinions obnoxiously as if whatever they say is a fact. I was excited for that Hatton card because the 55,000 people are gonna make for a crazy scene... but i might have to keep it up mute for that card as well. Hatton wont score the first round KO, so all im gonna hear for 12 rounds is how this lackluster performance is gonna effect his career... sry for the rant I think I'd like these guys.
