    They need to bring back GUS JOHNSON. At least he used to have his facts straight. This guy started explain how f. guerrero was from the Maryland area, then relocated to the bay to train w/ Virgil Hunter. But, Barry Hunter is his trainer and f. guerrero NEVER trained with Virgil Hunter. In fact he was in England w/ Amir Kahn.

      Freaking ruined the broadcast for the Judah Garcia fight, had to watch it on mute after a couple of rounds. I don't know the guys name but hopefully he doesn't commentate the Mayweather fight.
      He used to be a Pride commentator. It's so weird hearing him call boxing matches. I'd pick him over Roy Jones.

          I agree I don't like him but he did call the Quillin uppercut exactly when it was about to happen. I found that funny.

            That guy is there for the casual fans, it makes a certain sense from a business perspective. He's basically a hype man to keep things entertaining for the casuals.

              He's not a Boxing guy. He's an MMA guy. Showtime needs to just go with Al and Paulie IMO.

                I think Showtime basically has nothing for him to do since strike force is no longer on the network
