Mannix is the worst commentator, scorer, and journalist in the entire industry. Grisham is terrible too. I kind of like Sergio but he'd be so much better with a competent play by play guy next to him.

I’ve got news for Grisham: it’s the guy in Dubuque who is paying for an overpriced DAZN subscription each month (or year) who is responsible for his paycheck. He doesn’t have to take the guy in Dubuque’s comment seriously, but he damn sure shouldn’t be an arrogant clown in insulting a viewer.

I actually kinda like Mora as a commentator during live broadcasts famicommander

Mannix is so dreadfully awful, possibly the worst commentator I've ever heard. I'd choose Mark Kriegal over Mannix any day, and I'm not a fan of Kriegal either, lol.

Grisham says "In the HBO days, I felt like after the first three or four rounds, they would decide this is the way it’s going and not change." Not wrong, but y'all are a pack too. No broadcast team is perfect, but what stands out to me most is the way they called the Crawford vs Madrimov fight. Madrimov was doing NOTHING except fainting and they were like "oh, Bud's in deep trouble...losing rounds" and Crawford would land two or three clean punches and Madrimov would land one glancing blow and they'd say "BIG shot by Madrimov!".

That's one example, but they do that a bunch, such as in the boring, super-sloppy Buatsi-Parker fight last weekend. Nobody said anything about Parker going down on a knee fifty thousand times in that fight. I thought Parker edged it, but Mannix proved once again he doesn't know how to score. For as HUGE as his head is, you'd think there would be more brains in there. I can't believe him and Seniesa are a couple. That's some serious size disparity.

I like the chemistry, knowledge, and entertainment provided by Jimmy, Paulie, and Chris, personally.

Dazn commentators are trash

Ew, Mark Kegel. It's easier to tune out Mannix than him. I miss the combo of Barry Tompkins, Steve Farhood, and Raul Marquez from ShoBox. They were the best to listen to.

I'm a big boxing fan, boxing is by far the best sport in the world BUT the best Broadcast Crew / Commentator Team is the UFC Pay per view team with DC (MVP of the crew), Joe Rogan (can be annoying but has some good takes) and Jon Anik (good blow by blow). Daniel Comier is funny and has all the knowledge and credentials i kind of could compare Sergio Mora to him.

Sergio is the best of the DAZN commentators by far, he knows his stuff. Grisham can be okay but not special at all. The rest of the DAZN commentators are terrible especially the UK ones, they are the worst ever, they don't know ish about boxing doesn't matter former fighters or not they just don't understand what is going on infront of their eyes.

I would prefer Jim Lampley (even "out of prime") over Grisham and Adam Smith but doesn't matter what you do never ever let Mike Coppinger on the Mic again this guy is a joke.

We need someone like Emanuel Steward back in the days. I also think Ward does a good job.

Long story short DAZN should fire the UK crew all of them including Frampton and Bellew

I mean like I said…. Not a fan of Kriegal at all.

Something about Mannix, dude reminds me of a single child spoiled brat. I can’t stand him

Grisham says "In the HBO days, I felt like after the first three or four rounds, they would decide this is the way it’s going and not change."

I can't remember who was commentating when I watched Canelo vs Bivol but seriously they were glazing Canelo for the first 10 rounds, ignoring everything bivol was doing then it was like they suddenly realized oh **** bivol is schooling him.
