    So, Lennox chins question able. And without the jab, Lennox would be a failure. And I heard a rumor he's not even british, but candian.

    Is any truth behind that rumor?

        He was born in UK, but moved to Canada. He came back to UK and turned professional there.

          I don't know wether I prefer Glen Mcrory or Jim Watt commentating with the other bloke. That was Glen commentating there, but usually he is in the studio with Nelson and Piper

            I do genuinely like the American commentary, but I can honestly say that the British commentary on most sports is better.

            The pundits in the studio arent necessarily better though.

            A combination of Jim Watt and either Glen McRory or Barry MacGuigan is better than anything the Americans have.

              Jim Watt is good but u no what? Instead of calling the fights,he mostly talks about what one fighter is doing wrong,take Pavlik-Miranda as a example,Miranda was the favorite to win,if Jim was commentating,while Pavlik lands punches,Jim wouldent acknowledge it,instead he'd talk about everything Miranda is doing wrong,thats the thing about him,he concentrates more on one fighter instead of calling the action

                That was a good call by the british commentators. I like the HBO crew better just because that's who I have listened to since I was young, but I like the way the commentators didn't make a big deal about the mouthpiece coming out and said that was a good move by Miranda. Instead they focused more on the show that Pavlik was putting on. When they said he had arrived they were right.

                  McGuigan or Jim Watt for me.

                  McCrory I can take or leave but I cant stand Nicky Piper or Johnny Nelson.

                  I love SR Leonard but his bias view in the Reid v Brinkley fight was unbalanced and amusing!

                    All I saw was overreaction from our announcers... Merchant overreacting about Smoger putting the mouthpiece back in... Lennox overreacting from the first knockdown. It was annoying as hell.
