Why don't Americans understand national commentary?

I dont see why people are complaining about UK commentators, HBO are good but the can say stupid things a lot of the time, BANG, and @retnuocllup they werent comparing him to ALI they said he might be the fastest since Ali Roy looked much faster vs a better version of Ruiz. That makes that a ridiculous statement.

Watch the Cavs play on the local station....They ride Lebron's cock like no other.

The British commentary is GARBAGE and so is Americas commentary. /thread

dude, they were comparing haye to ali. ALI!!!!! that just goes to show you that commentary was garbage. They compared his speed to Ali's speed. Not a direct comparison as fighters.

I'm not from USA, but must say that English commentators were ridiculous. It was something between war propaganda and childish babbling. Sometimes funny but mostly disgusting. They were fans rather than commentators.

british commentators are pretty neutral when the fighters arent british when they are well that's another story its like an orgy in the tube You should of heard the Sky commentary for JMM/ Mayweather, jeez!

most of the time i dont find them overly biased, they just get carried away with some comments

I have heard a number of people, mostly from the US go on about the commentary in the haye-ruiz fight last night, and this isn't the first time. Why don't you guys understand...of course they want Haye a british fighter to do well and there gonna call the fight from his point of view. I have lived half my life in california so maybe I understand better having lived in both, but you can't compare the situation because first it is such a large country, and second, there are a lot more fights where two americans are fighting each other so in general HBO and Showtime 2 national networks have more of an obligation to be neutral. The only way I can make you understand is for example...I am a big NBA fan, and when I lived in cali whenever you watch a game on a national network like nbc, or tnt the commentary is neutral, but when I watched the Golden State Warriors games on local tv the commentary was biased and geared towards the home team. This is the only logical way I can make you idiots understand. Yes they are biased, there not pretending to be neutral! There is nothing wrong with it especially when your country only has 57 million people. There is a difference between being biased and just talking out your ass.

Yeah thats what im saying...its comparible to what goes in a certain state, like I bet the kelly pavlik fights in ohio are probably some serious bias commentary...but its ok they dont produce world championship boxers very often so its cool maybe a little bit. but it was just overboard last night. the only broadcaster I liked listening to was that irishman. sounded like he had taken and given a few beatings in his time. you gotta watch yourself when you're around irish that speak like that there is a crazy mofo among them. 2 kinds of people are cool with suicide bombs arabs and irish crazy ****ers

It makes sense to me. I always hated watching the seahawks, or sonics on local tv. I hated them, and the announcers would go crazy every fukkin play. I understand the bias towards there countrymen, and I have no problem with it. I don't get why people care so much.

Boxing should not be like that as much imo, as its a one on one sport, not a team! sport. Yeah but the boxers are huge stars over here, especially when they make it to world level, pound 4 pound they get a hell of a lot more support then US fighters do over there, there is nothing wrong with it, national identity and support is a good thing. The commentary is always neutral on friday night fights over here in the UK when often it is an all british fight, but they should have no obligation to do that when it is a foreigner coming in, and anyway they always call what is happening fairly, but they do it from a first person point of view, so from the british fighters point of view whether things are going well or badly for him. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Jim Watt and Ian Darke were full of praise for floyd mayweather when he fought hatton because he was doing well, but they were enthusiastic when hatton did something good...like I have said I think thats fair game.

BANG BANG by Lampley was bad enough. That shit you guys listen to is insane.

Exactly i think the Uk team was only slightly more biased then Showtime/Dirrell when he faced King AA and Froch, they basically creamed themselves whenever Dirrel landed. not really a comparison. dirrell was the one who was landing in those fights.
