    I think ESPN has hands down the best team right now. Tessitore is pretty solid as a play-by-play guy and for my money Tim Bradley and Andre Ward are the best you could ask for in analysts. Both are very smart fighters who had versatile styles and could adapt to their opponents, so getting not just one but two guys like that breaking down fights is great. It also helps that they have very different dispositions as fighters and different perspectives on fights and fighters. In general I think their commentary is pretty fair, they talk up their main guys but not to the point that I ever feel they're watching some other fight from me. Also ESPN has the best production on their cards imo. Lots of great segments and graphics.

    IMO the worst is FOX's team by a mile, I'm not crazy about DAZN's commentary team either. Showtime with Mauro, Al and Abner Mares is pretty good although I remember thinking Al Bernstein sounded like he was drunk on a recent card.

      ESPN is ok, I don’t mind Bradley and Ward. Tessitore can be a bit over the top at times but he’s still usually good.

      I’m not too keen on DAZN USA. Mora can sound annoying at times

      I don’t like the DAZN UK team at all except Andy Lee. He’s the only one with some reality and I like how he put a Tony Bellew in his place about Conor Benn last week. The main commentator Costello sounds like he is commentating on horse racing, not boxing. He’s awful. And the aforementioned Tony Bellew is a disgrace and Matchroom shill. Actually Darren Barker and the guy that do the earlier fights on the card are much better than Costello on the main fights. They should use those two and Andy Lee for the full night.

      PBC is mostly garbage
