    Showtime commentators were horrible last night.

    Everyone is quick to get on the HBO crew but Showtime yesterday sounded like HBO on one of their worse bias nights.

    Last week you people were still saying the HBO crew ****** and were biased for Nonito even though the crew had Rigo winning easily and called out the judges that had it closer then that.

    Showtime crew is terrible and its sad now that we have to listen to them for most of the top fights now(Golden Boy has the much better stable of fighters).

    Not at all, I thought they were great. HBO commentary is filled with each of the fighters history and the drama that surrounds it whether it be in the ring or out, they talk about whats happening in the fight here and there and spend the rest of the fight talking about things which don't really matter since both of them are in the ring and people want to hear what is going on NOW.

    I felt they honestly called what was happening in the fight, Paulie rightfully criticized the judging for that one judges card. I remember at one point they were talking about something else and a quick left landed and the fight continued, if that was HBO they would continue their story and not really mention it but Paulie mentioned what happened and cut off his story.

    They called what was happening and saw it as a close fight which it was. Rounds could have gone to either many times.

      Thats fine and all if you prefer how Showtime commentates but my issue i said was how bias Showtime was last night, they were horrible, I thought last week HBO did a much better job, and people on here were posting that HBO was riding Nonito the whole fight, what fight were they watching?

        They pretty much called it as it was IMO. Maybe your bias didn't agree/like it?

          I thought they were pretty good. One of the few times I've enjoyed Showtime commentary.

          Can you imagine the d1ck-slurping and nauseating hyperbole Kellerman would have been using during that fight?

            LOL

            I think the showtime crew was pretty on the ball for this fight, I enjoyed the broadcast.

              Very true.

              I thought they were good. They interact with each other much better than the HBO crew, who for their part just talk over each other constantly. Partly this is because of how long it takes any of them to say anything, part of it is because they don't seem to have any real interest in talking to each other.

                  I saw no bias, they even said the judges filled out his card before thr fight and they had it a draw or Canelo up by a point those are the correct cards to me.
