Fran was alright,he just never seemed to adjust though.Who is Bob Papa again?

Thank god, Fran Charles was terrible. Dude was dry, out of synch and knew nothing about boxing.

I was hoping Lamps would go to Denmark for the Kessler-Andrade fight, going overseas for a special BAD like he did for Calzaghe-Bika.

Oh well.

Papa is certainly an upgrade from Fran.

I would like to see Rich Marotta get into the mix, the poor bastard has been relegated to "C" and "B" level fights forever, the guy knows his **** and is very good to listen to, I can only imagine how his rep would grow if he was given "A" level fighters to work with.

I like Bob Papa. VERY underrated and ESPN took a step down when they replaced him with Joe T. even though he's a good guy. I think it will be a great team.

I didn't mind Fran but Bob Papa is pretty good. I like him on Versus.

Bring back Gil Clancy or Barry Tompkins!

I don't like to see a person losing his job, but Fran was horrible!

This guy had no buisness commentating about boxing, Papa will fit in well I think. I guess anyone is better than Fran.
