Its good for the sport, look where GGG is now. Moreover Crawford is a good boxer with killer instinct, not a ***** ass runner or hugger, investing in him is a smart business.
Commentary isn't there to teach you about boxing lol
They are trying to sell you something. That goes for every network
I completely disagree although selling a product is obviously what they have to do but they lack everything across the board. For example a casual nfl fan who's never watched football over many years isn't going to learn a thing or two of what a 'pass rush' is, what 'play action' 'read options' are? Commentary is there to educate the casual fans and gain new generations through knowledge and commentary. The real reason there's been a high boost of fantasy football spike, the reason why boxing networks 'mix' it with real fighters because they offer more knowledge.
First of all that punch to the back of the head was nothing but 100% intentional....yet they make it out like it was Jean's fault.
Second, GGG last week could have easily been DQ'd and that too was intentional (rush of blood yes), but nevertheless intentional yet the commentators practically ignored it except for RJJ.
You guys are right - mute is the best option for those cumguzzlers!
I watched the Top rank broadcast...not that they are great but they somehow are easier to ignore. HBO broadcasters can't be ignored without turning off the sound and they inevitably annoy. I used to enjoy them years ago but it has become hard to listen to now.
i dunno.
roy said tcraw power is same level as ggg.
i don't blame hbo.
tcraw is american, speaks english, has a personality, has a backstory, flashy and skilled boxer but also entertaining and goes for ko and brawls too.
much better star potential than a 33 yr. old kazakh or a midget nicaraguan.
Well Roy at least threw in it was proportional, but at least Golovkin is a good current fighter not one of the 25 greatest fighters of the last 50 years which Max was constantly doing.
I don't blame HBO because they are promoting their dudes, and Crawford is really good as well as being pretty likely to get a big fight to really build his brand.
I think TC southpaw jab is gonna unravel pac and TC has great range . pac doesn't fight well off the ropes. I think pac is gonna get stopped inside of 10 rounds if he don't quit on his stool before that. I think pac is tailor made for TC
He has over 6 fights that can easily be made
And they are all action fights.
HBO and Arum has a star in TC and Roy sees it. He has great defense but decides to push the fight and get his man out cause he feels no threat. His defense unravels his opponents. He is the most versatile boxer in the world. Pac is gonna get beat up and outclassed
t-craw vs. khan, rios, bradley, pac, provodnikov.....

maybe beat up. he is old.
outclassed? nah. unless pac is shot.

Normally Lampley is impossible to outdo in a dick sucking contest in regards to the HBO guy, but tonight Max gave it his best effort and may have prevailed.

You can insert any HBO boxer there instead of Crawford and you could say the same. They choose their fave fighter, usually an undefeated darling. It could be any marketable HBO fighter.
You just encapsulated all of HBO's bull crap!

crawford looks to be a very good fighter.
but lol, with the mentions next to floyd mayweather and pernell whitaker.
he's fought one good fighter, gamboa, who's really a featherweight.
You trippin dawg.
TC is the truth.
He is gonna beat pac up with skills athleticism and IQ and toughness and make Floyd look like a scared fighter.
TC is gonna stop pac and after that he has
Lots of fights out there.
If I was arum I'd have Rios vs provodnikov on the undercard and have TC fight the winner. Then angle for a TC vs Marquez fight in LA.
After that have TC fight algeiri and postol.
If he is still undefeated go right to Tim Bradley . lots of fights for TC.he is gonna be a star
if i was arum.
i'd match tcraw vs rios/bradley for wbo 147 belt january/february.
tcraw will be 3 div champ heading into pac fight.
if he beats rios/tim and pac.
add the gamboa win and 3 div champ.
there's your #1 p4p.
dont think the punch to bak of head was intentional...
but yeah buds good but not as godllike as they commentary makes him >_>...
I gave you green, but your comment deserves 2 green. Not that it was amazing, many feel exactly the same way. It was clear & concise.
Green k

HBO is beyond dreadful there's hardly any education behind there commentary just allot of ball and chin tagging.

they talk like this guy is a god...and that intentional punch in the back of the head was like not his fault!
