Comments Thread For: Brian Custer, Mauro Ranallo Join Prime Video Boxing Platform

So who in your opinion would be better cause sounds like they’re all yes men then

Again, Luke Thomas would be great,
Boxing announcing has been shifting to announcers that call the fight for the true fans who have an understanding already. Hype men and carneys should be a forgotten memory. I really like the Probox team. Some of the Dazn guys work for me as announcers also.

And I think most of them in the past are all yes men giving love to the A-side, that would be correct.

Some of you are nuts for going against Ranallo. He's part of the reason Showtime's fights had so much energy. If you don't think so, rewatch Broner-Maidana. Sure, his voice sounds artificially at first, but once he gets on yelling during a match with excitement, it immediately brings me to that level of what I'm watching. He's no Jim Lampley or Al Bernstein, but he's far from the worst. I think Lennox Lewis takes that trophy. I'll never forget, "he's bleeding from the nose, so he must of got hit in the nose". No f**king **** Lennox.

Brian Custer on the other hand can be rather dry and not all that needed for commentary as opposed to when he's at press conferences and doing some MC work. Not all folks can wear all hats.

Custer is doing what he did, host, maybe some interviews. He’s not going to be ring side commentsry

Oh no
The guys on Dazn are fughin horrible and bias like there’s no tomorrow
They call shots that don’t even happen or they just call the shots one fighter gets attention
I’d rather hear the emotional jumbo than have to sit with Dazn , anyday

I dont need a hype man to get me excited. I kind of agree about Custer plus some other reasons. He doesnt get my blood boiling though.

Give me the dream team of Tessitore, Paulie and Teddy Atlas. That alone should be worth 100,000 PPV buys. Tessitore to actually call the fight and the potential sparring btw Atlas and Pauly would be hilarious. I use to enjoy the sparring btw Big George and Larry Merchant.

Lmao
I remember that sparring chit with Atlas on Friday night fights
Still was better than anything Dazn does
I find them terribly horrible

Man stays on that big boy ish. Power to em. Really do miss hearing him call fights on HBO. Boxing ain't the same with HBO and now Showtime gone IMO.

Imagine being a hater of a promotional company like this guy.
