Did anyone else notice that Lennox Lewis's broadcasting skills are greatly improving?

Throughout the night he was actually chipping in with good points without being prompted by Lampley or Merchant. He sounded a lot more comfortable on this broadcast, and his vast boxing knowledge is now starting to shine through because of it. He sounded a bit awkward and stammering at times, but I think broadcasters need to develop and learn just like fighters or anyone in any other job.

Yeah he did get better.

I can He hates it when Lampley refers to his KO losses.
When Lampley tried to ask was the KO similar to his loss to Oliver McCall, he said something about them both throwing at the same time and the fact that McCall had shorter arms, he got to him first.

First time I could stand Lewis as a commentator, I hope he impoves again next time.

He'll never be a Sugar Ray, Roy Jones, or Big George. But when he's gone, he'll probably be missed too.

That's the way it always goes.

He seemed to be really excited about the fight and its outcome, which was really refreshing.

Lennox gets better every broadcast IMO. I've always liked having an actual fighter or trainer be a commentator in fights because they bring first hand insight and experience to the fight.
