HBO Boxing needs a Hispanic/Latino announcer

no they dont.

HBO Latino..?? They suck big time. They are translating what Jim, Larry, Max, Roy or Steward say. Why we need a latino announcer? To get another bias voice when a latino is fighting? I think is better with no announcer. The announcers like to throw you off.

i d keep rolling with Kellerman alone...fire the rest ,special mention to Steward he can.know a lot but i cant understand a word the man says (im a spaniard) Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

I like Kellerman. When I went to the weight in for Cotto vs Margarito. He was challenging Arum about the wraps. Arum got real upset.

they need to get rid of kellerman and merchant IMO no way... HBO Latino..?? this ^^^ I disagree They need an Ethiopian announcer :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

Ok, ok guys no need to push me, I will take the job.

I like malignaggi's commentary

no they don't. they need an eskimo announcer

Fine by me as long as it's not Bernardo.

Can anyone imagine a commentator with the enthusiasm of a soccer match? Kayooooooooooooo~

Bring over Carl Froch. Everyone respects him and he's erudite while at the same time pithy. Ideal. Agree with getting rid of Merchant, although I don't mind Lamps too much as long as he's not had 10 bowls of frosties like he seemed to before Pac-Clottey. And Showtime for me is a better unit IMO.

We need to see more Black and Latino announcers (not just ex-pro's), and working on the same nights. If they make up the bulk of all fighters on HBO, then they should make up the bulk of the announcing table. I also think this would eliminate a lot of the dumb biases during HBO fights (Floyd getting so much hate from Larry Merchant, announcers discounting Marquez's performance against Manny, etc). A balanced table makes for better discussions, disagreements, and less bandwagon announcing. And on a separate note, I think having at least a few amateur fights should be a requirement for announcing. No one should be calling for blood and bravery in the ring if they don't know what it's like to get punched in the face (Larry Merchant). Ever watch Showtime? Gus, Tarver (before his suspension) and Al. Al is the only one who knows a damn thing because he has been around forever. But there ya go. Two black guys and one white guy.

Call me crazy but I think Sergio Martinez would make a great announcer if he polished his English up. He seems very articulate in the way he presents his thoughts and speech.

........................... Why?. ...............

Juan Manuel Marquez does a fantastic job ring announcing. I also watch him on that show golpe a golpe. His skills are up to par. :fing02:

And speaking of commentating did anyone listen to Morales commentate during the Olympics for Telemundo? His speech sounded so bad. i did, but i don't remember it being too bad. morales has always had a funny voice, imo he's just getting older. i have to go back and pay attention to his commentating if it is bad.

HBO needs to get rid of Jerry Olaya, their Spanish translator. He often translates wrong or incompletely. Word! Olaya can't translate for sh*t! :rofl:

hopkins is a good commentator. he demetrius' fight on ESPN once before. he was surprisingly unbiased and even critical of his nephew and had good insights.

And speaking of commentating did anyone listen to Morales commentate during the Olympics for Telemundo? His speech sounded so bad. unfortunately this is true, it was kinda hard to just sit there and listen to the guy

What about Jaime Mota?
