    This is what infuriates me about mainstream boxing coverage

    Here are two commentators from ESPN talking about boxing. I don't know anything about these two individuals but I know that they don't know a single thing about boxing. Outside of Brian Kenny, Dan Rafael, Joe Tessitore and Teddy Atlas, no one at this network have any understanding of boxing.

    Here's a suggestion: Why not mandate your commentators/analysts to learn about the subjects they must discuss.

    Unbelievable. Infuriate is the perfect word for it.

    Like casting pearls before swine. *** the MSM, we don't want them, and we don't need them.

    The internet is going to rejuvenate boxing.

      True dat. I also hate listen to the guys on first take talk about it. No one at that network knows anything except the boxing guys. Some of the things they say are so far off and the mainstream fans beleive it because they dont know any better

          ok before i talk two things

          1. that king tut statement was funny

          2. did that guy just say he want "big strong mean beating each other"????? 0.0


          anyway ESPN only cares bout 4 things. basketball, football, baseball and golf. and it always the same thing. what they *** they know bout boxing? all they care about is when kobe gonna get another ring or what terrel owens doing, a-rod presonal life how much money tiger gonna make.

          we 95% of them don't watch boxing, and the network is to lazy to get more people who do and have them discuss it.

          i always wanted a show decitied to boxing but i guess not.


          again i never heard a straight men say he want "big strong mean beating each other" with a straight face and not be gay.

                  and this is why idiots watch MMA.

                  Boxing is doing fine in america and MMA will never over take it. no reason to get mad at ignorance like these clowns are displaying

                  she even said...there is nothing technical about MMA and thats why they like it.

                  Boxing goes over their heads and im cool with that. oh, an **** the Heavyweight division.
