    Think of a fight...

    That was very close, and somewhat controversial...

    I'd like to see a fight where HBO really favored one fighter in their commentary and was pissed about the decision (like Mosley-De La Hoya 2), but other people (and other broadcasts) had the other fighter winning.

    I really wanted to find a foreign version of Alexander-Kotelnik... does anyone have it?

    It's kind of for a research paper in a graduate level communication class, so I thought I'd come to the source of boxing experts.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Most recently, just off the top of my head, I streamed the Mosley vs Mora fight, and the commentary favored Mora (I think one of the ring magazine writers were there, I can't think of his name right now) and they spoke of how effective he was in derailing Mosley's offense...anyways, I went on BScene, and heard that the HBO guys favored Mosley, on top of Merchants comments to Mosley in the post-fight interview. I usually only watch one version of a fight, but I'll try to see if I can think of any other ones.

        Thank you very much.

        What commentary had it for Morales, or do you know if people who watched it without HBO commentary scored it for Morales for the most part?

            Froch-Dirrell comes to mind, in terms of recent fights.

            Marquez-Pacquiao II was also a fight that coudl have gone either way. Depending on the broadcast you get, it could go either way.

            Oscar De La Hoya-Felix Sturm had it's back and forth moments, though most feel the fight was a gift for Oscar.

            Bernard Hopkins-Jermain Taylor I also comes to mind.

            Just a few.

              The Mosley/Mora fight stream I watched had Doug Fischer commentating and he only gave Mosley 2 rounds...... and I agreed with that assessment.

              Then I go on BS and everyone is saying how Mosley got robbed etc because they were watching the HBO telecast.
