how did you guys like mikes commentary?

And I suppose there's a sense of him coming home. He can appear on UFC stuff, he can appear on espn, showtime wherever but hbo championship boxing with lampley and merchant was where it all began. Mikes probably got a soft spot for lampley and hbo because he was literally a teenage kid when he started out on there

I think he did great. Tyson has always been a student of the sport and has a huge amount of experience and insight to call on.

In Roger Mayweather's voice. He knows $h1t about boxing.

mikes a lot more insightful than that clown RJJ who can barely put 2 sentences together, wouldnt mind the guy working as a color commentator

While I don't disdain RJJ in the way you do, I definitely thought Tyson was much more natural and consistently insightful. Every once in a while RJJ says something useful, though.

I thought Tyson was great. He was very thoughtful and (to my mind) basically spot on. I agree with others -- it was nice to see him operating in a boxing context where he seemed exceptionally at home and articulate.

I think Tyson needs to project his voice a bit more, he was a bit quiet.. but he seemed to have some good insight.

Tyson was spot on with his commentary and he is very articulate however I think tyson is too big of a personality to be confined to hbo ringside commentary

Good point.

I've got a feeling Roy will improve as time goes on. Hopefully he hangs onto this gig long enough to learn and get better at it because there are brief moments when he makes really insightful interesting points at important times of a fight

rj tends to ramble on incoherently too much. listening to him tends to annoy me. I always loved gil Clancy and many steward. they were awesome with a tremendous amount of knowledge with the sport. I think Tyson also has great potential

Mike Tyson did some commentating a long time ago too...Mike is more normal now
and has calmed down because he's not fighting anymore..Some guys train hard
to "destroy" their opponent and then can't turn off that mindset when the fight is
over....I also didn't think it was appropriate when he took a pop shot at Duran
in that documentary..especially when he quit in the second Holyfield fight and against
Kevin Mcbride.

Other than not being able to understand him completely, he was fine...
