    Paulie Malignaggi is a superb

    commentator.

    In the Garcia Matthysse fight, Bernstein was ready to claim that round 4 was another close round and Paulie said, "I think that this is the clearest round of the fight so far for Garcia". Bernstein corrected himself and agreed. Normally we would've been talking to the TV saying, "What the hell is Bernstein talking about"!?

    Second, in round 8 and other rounds, the "no plan B" that Hopkins was talking about was confirmed by Paulie. He said that Matthysse's big punches are seen by Danny. Some are landing, but Danny is able to take them. On top of Danny having a good chin, he can throw his combinations, and they land, and land with some power.

    Matthysse is not throwing combos because they are not as hard as his usual punches. He throws single shots which are hard, but seen. He's not as effective when he throws combos. He throws combos, but they aren't effective like Danny's.

    Hop said that Danny took Matthysse's power away from him, and forced him to use another part of his style to beat Danny . At first Danny was just countering Matthysse. Too much waiting even though he was doing well, but it made Matthysse look like the aggressor. Danny's Dad did not like that.

    After being slapped by Angel, Danny started using his jab and combos more. Matthysse couldn't adjust. Hop was basically saying that Matthysse can't do anything else if he can't bomb you out. Matthysse stayed aggressive, and kept the pressure up, but Danny landed the cleaner, harder more visible shots.

    Matthysse landed very good body shots, but they never even bothered Danny. Matthysse also stopped using his left hook which I thought was effective.

    And that's why you always need a boxer commentating on a fight to help straighten these announcers out, lmao!

        I saw it coming from a mile away that Malignaggi was made for commentating, articulates himself well, outspoken and simply understands the sport.

          Well said. He has been on fire as an announcer.

            He tends to talk a bit too much and has interrupted the other guys here and there but he is very well spoken, articulate, and provides great insight.

                  he is absurdly talented as an announcer. it sounds like he's literally doing it for decades.

                  at first it sounds like a bit much to say that he's a more talented announcer than boxer, given that he's a two weight world champion, but he is.

                  the guy is going to be calling fights forever. unless his mouth outisde of the ring get him in trouble, he will be on showtime until he gets old.

                  he's funny, extremely informative, and charming. he's the perfect expert commentator. he provides the perspective of a fighter.

                  that is not an easy job, the way some might expect, but it's got to be one of hte best jobs on the planet. six figures to watch fights from ringside and travel the country / world? sign me up.

                  i will sell my truck and account, and quit my job tomorrow.

                    Yeah, and he helps the announcers out tremendously.
