Yup his commentary was extremely bias. But this is no different from the last few he's been calling. All of HBO is garbage...I miss Merchant.
Roy's commentary during the Bradley fight

I think the problem was Everytime it looked like Bradley was now taking over (RJJ would be talking and saying how Tim is coming back slowly) then blam Provo just rattle Bradley's brains again, I think most people who watch the fight thought it was over around the 7/8th round when Timmy was looking fluid and good but then Provo lands and Bradley is back in cookoo land.Comment

He's usually good with the exception of this fight. I like him far more than any other commentator on any network. He knows how to shut up and call the fight correctly usually lolComment

I was saying the same thing to my boys that were over. Ive always liked Roy, But yeah he was kinda cheerleading. He mentioned that bradley only got hurt when getting hit on the chin, not the Head. While he and max were debating. Then bradley got clocked on the head and got hurt. He seemed really bias. It ok to have your fav's, but he gets paid to call a fight objectively. I like HBO Boxing but cant stand when either one of them starts favoring one fighter. Ive seen fights where a guy lands a hard punch or combo, and their off talking about something else. Then, the other boxer lands a jab and lampley screams "hard jab" by the other guy. Either way it was a great fight. Props to both boxers.I think he was rooting for Tim way too much. There was times he would say both guys are badly hurt and Tim is the one out on his feet. Max would say Tim had no answer for Ruslans right hand, he responded with saying yeah he does, he has his own right hand. Towards the end of the fight Roy is like Ruslan can't hurt Tim anymore and Max is like Tim gets hit one more time and he's in trouble. And that's exactly what happened. There was other lil things during the fight that i cant remember at the moment. I just feel like Roy called the fight as a Bradley fan instead of a professional commentator. What do you guys think?????Comment

does the same thing with broner, sorta dissapointed in roy, but still the best at calling fights when one of his boys isn't fightingComment

Paulie is the best and Tarver is second. Reed is going to get mad at me but Roy isn't that good at calling fights.
Couple things he does that kills me, he will argue just to argue and when he's wrong, he will bring up the "I fought you didn't" argument.
He also seems to just be opposite of what anyone says for the sake of being different.Comment
