Antonio Tarver did an excellent job last night

I think Antonio Tarver has the potential to be a really good commentator.

Overall, I'm starting to like Showtime's team over HBO's with every broadcast.

Tarver did well I thought, they should keep him on and I think the team is a good contrast of personalities.

My point was that Bernstein was doing the blow by blow, not the commentary. While Tarver did an excellent job as the third man, his lack of broadcasting experience would be badly exposed if he tried to do blow by blow. It's much more difficult than just throwing out random commentary or answering carefully set up questions.

They had Gus Johnson doing blow-by-blow for the Froch-Taylor fight and he was excellent.

I think the team of Johnson and Tarver would be ideal. Farhood is very sharp and intelligent, but he doesn't have the best voice or personality for it.

They had Fran Johnson doing blow-by-blow for the Froch-Taylor fight and he was excellent.

I think you mean Gus Johnson. Gus is improving, but I still think he sounds like ge belongs on NBC or ABC calling a college football game.

I liked Steve Albert.

Antonio Tarver was very sharp and accurate in his observations of what was going on in the Showtime fights.

I think it's time old Al Bernstein retired, since he's not as observant as he should be and can't comment on a fight fairly and objectively. Tarver would be the perfect replacement.

I agee . Antonio Tarver done great job ,he gives you the knowlegde of whats going on inside the ropes . Thats helpful 4 a casuel fan.

Tarver is actually the best spoken fighter I have seen commentating yet. he speaks just as good if not better than Most analysts.

What? Did you actually listen to him? He stumbled all over himself and has a terrible grasp of the English language! I thought he was terrible and not needed. Farhood and Bernstien would have been fine in a two man booth.

Steve Albert was good too, I don't know why he left.

I'm not so sure that it was his decision to leave. I did read recently that Albert will be back to do a Showtime card this year.

I saw Tarver for the first time when he did the Kessler fight. I thought he did a fine job, but also that the others should do more do get Tarver better questions. Tarver knows his stuff and it's nice to hear a fighters take.
