    This.

    Every announcer on HBO has his favorites.

      I just watched the HBO broadcast and yeah Roy was pretty bad. He kept insisting that both fighters were hurt when only Bradley was staggering like a drunk and Provodnikov was on top of him. The thing that shocked me is when he said "Bradley is in a better position right now because this is the type of fight that he's used to" I was like WTF? Bradly had never been in a non stop brawl like that. Even Kellerman was on point when he said "Bradley has no answer for Provodnikov's overhand right" which was true but Roy insisted "yes he does, he has his own right hand" but that shot wasn't effective.

      Very disappointed in Roy.

        And who cares if hes bias or unbiased. If he knows Bradley better or on some personal level...its human nature that he may lean to his favor a little more.
        He still gave Provodnikov his props. And i can see why he was talking more on Bradley...OMG did you see the come back and the survival of Bradleys heart not to stay down or go down! Provodnikov was like a head hunter wanting the kill and Bradley was fighting for his life.

        And in the end someones worried about what Roy said or didnt say! gimmie a ***ing break! :WORD:

          I could not believe how biased Roy was in that fight. Terrible.

            and another thing...Its easy to cry about a commentators words or what he did or didnt say but, we are not sitting ringside watching this in live action either. They are in the moment and when its a badass fight like we saw last night expect to get amped up a little!

              Quite a lot of people.

              Why would anyone want to listen to biased commentary.

                  i understand that...but gotta give the dude a little credit...he wasnt showing Provodnikov any hate. He was giving him props as well. Bradley got a little more from him probably due to the reason he was out on his feet a few times fighting his heart out.

                  And i am in no way a Bradley fan. But i to am giving Bradley mad ass props for last night!

                    He will say "he hurt him bayyyyyyaddd" 10-15 times a fight on good shots that land square but don't even buckle the guys legs.

                    The other thing about Roy that drives me nuts is hearing him talk about how fighters are taking too much punishment or putting themselves in long term danger.

                    He's always getting all preachy about **** when he the bright shining example of what happens to guys who hang on too long.
                    I chuckled about that. "He hurt jeeyum" He hurt bayaaaad" That's Roy in a nutshell.
