    I'd love to hear Ray Torres call a fight, just like he does his translations.
    they also did the ouma karmazin fight....i think they were the hbo latino boxeo de oro team....maybe they still work there....

      Foreman destroys fights with his commentary and you destroy the English language with grammatical errors. Foreman was hired for his insight on boxing as an ex-fighter, not a trained broadcaster. You post opinions as a boxing fan, not a trained sportswriter. You and George are even. Nobody's perfect.

      With regard to your grammatical error, there's no such word (verb) as "commentate" and the correct phrasing is "comment on" (not for).

        Yeah, I didn't mind them, a call to Max Kellermans coke dealer and i think they'd be in business.

          NASTY.

          Kball has a good point with this thread and I agree with him about George, being a bit of a downer during fights.

                That may be, but despite his imperfections, he comes across as an affable chap and doesn't deserve the scorn leveled at him here. He's no worse than Lewis, Leonard, Jones or any of the other ex-fighters they drag to the broadcast mike. Even Manny Steward has his shortcomings...

                      Yup, that's why I didn't make a big deal out of it.
