The DAZN commentary team last night...

[brick wall]

mind you some posters here gobbled that **** commentary up and believe canelo dominated the fight

[Damn Wicked]

The commentary was really bad. It’s almost as if they were trying to write the narrative of the fight before it even happened. The first 2 rounds Canelo is getting picked off at range by the jab and he’s swinging and hitting mostly air…Oh, but he looks mad and mean, and aggressive, and dangerous. Let’s give him points for his tough guy posturing. Then in 3 round Canelo starts actually connecting and Golovkin looks like he’s very tentative to let his hands go, and now the announcers physic narrative is starting to come to fruition. See, see! Canelo’s looks like a beast, though he’s still missing a ton of big shots and getting picked off by jabs and the commentators are only mentioning the work that Canelo is doing, still ignoring some of his wild bombs that missed by 3 feet. But at least Canelo DID win most of those middle rounds. So the early cheerleading for Canelo ended up becoming the mid fight narrative.

I think there was too much excitement between the announcers which may have contributed to their disoriented dialogue. At one point Danny Jacobs called Canelo “Canglo”, or something similarly weird. I think they were just tripping over themselves because there was so much confusion going on around them. It was pretty weird, but also funny at times.

PS. Triple H gave Canelo fits in there.

A tough, competitive fight is always considered a domination, now days.

i think the entire production values of these DAZN events isnt really up to par tbh.

It really is bush league. especially when you rewatch some old HBO fights which really puts it into perspective. They were class top to bottom with presenters that were professionals who knew the sport and how to present, in contrast to the DAZN team which look like randoms plucked from youtube.

I don’t get why they didn’t get the HBO commentators, Jim lampley was literally free

Wow!

I stopped reading at "Let's give an example.."

If that isn't the longest rant.

I mean bruh! As it is, reading is torturous.

Upload the audio file so folks like me do something productive while listening to your rant. Give us a break!


Like please let me walk my dog while I listen to you on my bluetooth headphones

Can someone tell me what his rant was about? but like in a nutshell?

Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!!

Sorry man, I didn't realise your attention span was that of a 3-year-old. Those things called WORDS, huh?


I feel bad now that I came round to your house and put a gun to your head and forced you to read it.


You daft cunt.

The Triple H comment was hilarious. Then I saw Kevin Iole tweeted that he was actually at the fight. This goes to show you how the HBO commentators with Lampley, Steward (replaced by Kellerman), and Merchant (who was replaced by Roy Jones) was second to none. Even Harold Lederman added a little bit of something. When HBO Boxing was still alive I remember so many people here just crapping on their commentary. Well, this is the type of garbage you get now.

Max Kellercunt and his CONSTANT overPRONUNCIATION of every OTHER word was REALLY irritatING. Merchant was great back in the day, but got so senile he'd be commentating on round one at the start of the final bell.

Lampley was a shit-for-brains ("****! ****! ****!") and Harold Lederman was like a Disney cartoon character. I honestly thought it was a spoof when I first head him speak.

They definitely had viable detractors, especially when MAX came ON BOARD as part of the TEAM.



But really it's like the HBO team at the end were a kick in the bollocks, and DAZN saw your bollocks off and feed them to geese.

This is a prime example of the trash commentary from HBO's Jim Lampley. He took cringe to the next level with this retardation.

One thing about Lampley is that he was so "Mom's Apple Pie" that he thought he had to say foreign place names in the accent.

I used to cringe when Michael Katsidis was active and Jim would go "And here's Michael Katsidis from [puts on his best Steve Irwin voice] Australia."

It was as if the guy was so fucking THICK he didn't realise it was possible to say the names of foreign countries in an American accent.

There was a hilarious one I can't find anymore, where he said a place in Mexico and went full Speedy Gonzales for it.

Take some antibiotics for that "literally" virus you've picked up.
