Am I the Only One Who Thinks Gus Johnson Is Not Right For Boxing?

[rskumm21]

Yeah he's pathetic. I will always remember this prick for saying. " this is not boxing people" while talking about how exciting elite xc was. War the hbo crew and un war Gus and his exagurations

He did say that didn't he? What a Douche.

[Devils Advocate]

Yeah, I noticed that too. It's funny how he was pulling De Marcos **** all the way up until the point he quit. He kept insisting that DeMarco was "luring Valero in" and that at any moment DeMarco would "take over". At first a lot of people thought that, but by the 4th round when DeMarco was eating punches like skittles, it was fairly obvious as to what was happening. Gus didn't see it that way... Perfect example. He should just stick to the play by play, which he really isn't good at either.

Yeah he was **** riding Demarco then he jumped back on the ateam in the last 2 rounds lol. Like Gus Johnson or not he is funny to listen to. Valero's giving this kid a good old fashion school yard whippping. lol lol

Come on yall act like Gus is worse than Fran Charles, remember that HBO snatched his ass up quick fast and in a hurry. He was to flat and boring.

Gus Sucksssss!!! Big Time!

He shouldn't be on Showtime. He sucks and doesn't know when and how to queue the other commentators. He stumbles on his words, seems nervous, disorganized, impartial and too many: "WOW"; "HAHAHA"; "He's Stunned!"-- exaggerations....

Bring Bob "The coronel" Sheridan!!!

Perfect description of his commentating. He is very disorganized. Also, sometimes a guy will get hit with 1 shot and he'll say something like "Punches in Bunches"!

[catalinul]

He's extfemely good for what he does which is blow by blow and cheerleading.

Knowledge wise he misses here and there.

His calls on Froch-Taylor,Darchinyan-Arce or Frch-Dirrell are top class.

[The Gambler1981]

He is not that bad, his cheerleading is obvious so to me that is not that bad because he makes it real apparent. He has not been broadcasting boxing that long but he is a lot like Jim Lampley without the 30 years of doing boxing blow by blow.

Atleast he gets excited about the goings on and seems to enjoy what he is doing.

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

When I hear this guy I can't help but think MMA. He's perfect for mixed martial arts commentating where they explode and cut each other off every 5 seconds whenever a guy lands a haymaker.

eeerrmmm....no. He's really really bad in MMA as well.

We're talking about a guy who, during the Jake Shields/Jason Miller fight in STRIKEFORCE, explained the reason Shield's rear naked chokes weren't effective not because Miller was tucking in his chin, but because he was "holding his breath."

Yes, he actually said that.

****, your probably right so I won't argue with you on that. I'm not big into MMA so I don't know how it should be called anyway, but that doesn't surprise me that someone feels that way about him in MMA as well.

i like his play by play but he lacks boxing knowledge. you cant deny though he did an awesome job for the taylor-froch fight. it seems that the more comfortable hes gotten with it, the more outlandish things he says.
