    Well, that's why the almighty Rick Reeno created the "Video Trading Block"! Use it and you'll never have to spend a Friday night at home watching a Mike Lee fight

      The fact that he is such a knowledgeable boxer inside the ring helps him in the announcer booth. Like I couldn't imagine a face first brawler being very good at announcing fights. His insight is fantastic, like how he pointed out the importance, and the sheer difficulty of Danny's "catch and shoot" strategy against Lucas.

        Paulie has the gift of gab for sure.

        Anyone else notice that Italians are the least socially awkward White people haha

            He does a very good job talking about what he's seeing and gives good insights on boxing in general. He needs to slow down abit and realize he has to be brief when explaining the action. He can go back to his point during the rest period and finish comments along with the replays!
            I haven't noticed if he's in touch with any directors yet (ear plug) so he can get feed back as to replays coming or adding info.
            Hopefully he studies the ins & outs of the job and it would help if he was a part of a two man team and learned with that senerio instead of the "4 blind mice" team!
            As to Bernard he's not very good over the air and Roy still thinks he's Ray Leonard, all the eye blinking like Ray used to do and trying to be cute, he's not very good!

              Paulie speaks very clearly, but he is a fast talker...I think for those not as familiar with the concepts he talks about, it may not fully sink in. Good input...probably the only negative with him I see.

                He is a commentator not an announcer.

                A ring announcer is what Michael Buffer does.

                So can everyone stop calling him that!!!

                    He really is amazing. Remember when we were talking about how good Tarver was? To be fair, Tarver was really good but Paulie is just on another level; and it was predictable.

                    On that note, Bernstein is unbelievably overrated. I'm sorry but the bernstein bear makes more flat out irrelevant...and flat out wrong points than any commentator I see. I scratch my head non-stop listening to him I don't know why he has this sterling reputation that he has.

                      The "catch and shoot" line was great! It is truly a pleasure listening to Paulie break down the sport the way he does.
