    i agree.

    I actually think Paulie is pretty good with no bias, and he actually told that judge who had that terrible card that he should've stayed home lol.

        Malignaggi had the Trout-Cotto fight a draw, so he's in no position to be arguing about bad scorecards.He also scored the Santa Cruz-Guevara fight a draw, too.


        And the less said about his work on the night of the Hatton-Senchenko fight, the better.

          HBO has higher productions values and quality in almost every aspect, but I have been preferring Shotime's commentators more recently. They are a heck lot less bias but I cannot stand Jim Grey when it comes to post fight interviews. That dude is a total ****. The thing is, usually HBO has more fights often compared to Sho and that's why if I had to choose to pay for only 1 monthly, I'd always go with HBO.

            They are about even for me. I really hate having to hear lampley and merchant. HBO production is much better but showtime as said already show a lot of undercard fights on the other channel before the main events of the evening. Showtime also has its seems like more quality fights as well. I'll take Al Bernstein over anybody at HBO.

                  I cannot begin to tell you just how absolutely incorrect you are. Showtime usually have fights on friday along with Saturday & sometimes the Friday fights aren't even listed. So you wouldn't know unless you faithfully check friday's menu.

                    Kind of being an ****** about my answer but I would want HBO's production with Showtime's commentators.

                    Forced to pick Showtime.

                      Showtime.

                      Bernstein>Any color commentator on HBO. Makes by far the biggest difference for me.
