To any HBO viewers who speak Spanish...

When Larry Merchant interviews Mexican and Puerto Rican fighters, do the translators actually translate his eccentric comments, or just ask the question in a simple way?

"Miguel Cotto, sometimes I look out of my window and it's sunny. Other times it's cold and windy. In there tonight it seemed like when you look out your window you see a thunderstorm and you bring it with you to the fight, like a lion on a tennis court, wham bam thank you sir, asphinctersayswhat, and so that made it difficult for your opponent in there. What did you think of his jab?"

they just simplify.

they just simplify.

With Ray Torres i'd use that term very lightly

I thought this thread was going to be about how HBO needs a new interpreter. The guy that currently does most of the fights is ******ed sometimes! Like between rounds, they'll show the Mexican trainer with the fighter in the corner, yelling some **** in spanish, then this foo' comes on talkin bout "aaaahhhhhh, you gotta keep 'em up....aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh hit him...hit him hard.....aaaahhhhhhhh don't....................ahhhhhhhhh........hit him" lol, I know he misses hella ****

Its hard being a translator I think they do a good job gettin the basics of wat the corner says but they kinda slip in the post fight interview but in all honesty I wouldnt translate the garbage that Merchant says niether. WTF does teniss and good and bad weather have to do with anything lol, I like Merchent but he needs to keep it simple ******

[ottoevans]

merchant: Would you give Manny a rematch?

Marquez: Yes i would, even though i know i won the fight.

Torres: He said that he won the fight so there shouldnt be a rematch"



Mayorga:"That black guy's hair is real hard"
Torres: He said that black guy hits hard.



This is actually a comic thing in my house, we get excited when he translates because hes so off

[ANDROID_DOES]

yeah the corner translations suck! but he still puts emotion into it which is cool i guess. He changes some of the wording on the post fight interviews. could be better.
