Anyone like Showtime commentators?

[badnewsbrown]

steve albert is awful. his play by play commentary is def not needed, dont know why they bought him back. tarver also is pretty bad. farhood and al are the best they got

[tredh]

Yes I like the Showtime crew. The only person that is wores than Lampley and Merchant is Dougie Fischer. I can't stand listening to them hands down the worst 3 in boxing IMO.

I think they are very good...Bernstein is excelent

[danny711]

Al Bernstein is the goods.

Fischer sounds like Kermit the Frog to me.

Even if you think Showtime is bias, hell no they are more bias then HBO or Sky.

In fact pretty much all commentary across the world show that commentators are bias.

Japs are, Russians are apparently too. I am sure Mexicans and Ricans are.

Heck anyone know why Merchant did 1 question interviews with Khan and Maidana? ****ing ask them more, build up their names in HBO you ****ing idiot.

Did some Youtubing. This guy is the man.

I have ehard him a few times before and always liked him, but now I have heard him a lot more, I think he is pretty good.

Al Bernstein has been in the game for a loooooong time. I remember watching him on many boxing shows and he is EXCELLENT.

He is hardly ever biased calls the fights as you see them and really does a great job of pointing out things that most don't see.

He's my favorite of all time, I don't think he get's enough recognition because he isn't loud and a screamer or very emotional.

The Japanese and Mexicans are biased, but they're hilarious to listen to, partiuclarly TV Azteca and pretty much all the Japanese channels. TBS and Nippon TV are the ones that I remember being the most vocal in Japan. They get so caught up in the moment, doesn't really matter if it's for the Japanese fighter or the foreign fighter.

I like the way he talks about certain punches and so on even though I can see it myself, but I guess it just confirms what I am thinking.

Also sometimes I enjoy a fight too much to think and he kinda is pretty fair and stable.

HBO doesn't seem to talk about small things, Roy and Steward do, which is good, but Merchant and especially Kellerman annoy me.

The guy who sits next to Bernestein is abit louder and energetic, but doesn't come across as anything great. I think IMO Bernesteins soft voice and kinda femenine voice suit him well.

Yeah I have heard some Japs in MMA, they get damn excited and start shouting. LOL
