    How bad was Roy Jones tonight?

    I honestly couldn't stand his commentary. I don't know if it was just because I was rooting heavily for Ruslan, but he seemed to be ridiculously pro-Bradley, even when the action in front of our eyes was telling a different story.

    Kellerman should get a salary bonus for the number of times he had to correct Roy's blatantly misguided analysis tonight. Really made it hard to enjoy a great competitive fight.

    And of course Roy ends the broadcast with "Provo....whatever his name his". How professional.

    it was specially anoying when roy said the russian wasnt hurting bradley at all anymore because he was hitting him on the head, when clearly he was getting hurt with everything.

      It was funny because his pro-Bradley stuff repeatedly turned out to correct...until the point near the end where he said Providnikov could no longer hurt him - that was very wrong.

      Kellerman and Jones Jr. were very biased towards the US fighter tonight.

        I was rooting for Bradley, but yes I agree, horrible bias from RJJ.

          i love it when roy does commentary.

          His speaking style sounds like he's busting a flow.

          Really enjoyable when watching a great fight and burning lettuce.

            Maybe its a little Roy hate getting in the way of your judgement. I dont think anyone will agree that Roy sucks as a commentator! Hes acutally real good at it.
            Of course IMO! All three are my favorite though! I like Roy on there though! Hope he stays!

              I agree that he sucks as a commentator. Unless constantly chuckling at Kellerman's remarks is considered insightful.

                    I have never liked him as a commentator. Out of all the boxers turned commentator the best has to be antonio tarver.
