    I don't like Ward, boring as hell, bring back Big George!
    Glad you brought up Bradley Prov, anyone who says he is knowledgeable and provides brilliant insight HAS TO re-watch the HBO broadcast. Bradley was stumbling, fumbling, falling, tumbling, and plunging around the ring, yet Roy was saying since the punches were hitting him on top of the head it doesn't hurt him? In the early exchanges where Bradley had jelly legs, and glazed eyes he was saying that it was Prov who was hurt! I dont want to hear how brilliant he is as a commentator, that was an outright disgrace, and the fans deserve better then to be lied to. Joe Rogan once said, if you don't see it, you cant say it, Roy was either incompetent or lying during Bradley Prov. Either way, He is useless, and not worthy of broadcasting at the highest levels. BTW, he kept arguing last night that Mike Perez had one punch power, I guess his word is gospel, just ask Takam.

      max kellerman is the worst. Remember when he thought he was a tough guy wig*a? Now hes an intellectual.... I'm tired of looking at his herpes and dull commentary. People try to say he french kissed a light socket. Yeah right some weeks that thing gets so big I'm afraid its going to reach out from the tv and grab one of the children. plus he comes off like such a spoiled little baby who gets everything handed to him.

          HBO crew isn't that good. There is no more flow or connection there like before Steward and Merchant left.

          Showtime has a crew, whether you like them or not that flows, and they all connect right up to Brian Kenny in the post fight. It makes watching Showtime much more enjoyable for me.

            I could live without any of them. I don't like people talking during the fights I am watching. I don't need these guys telling me what I am seeing. I would rather decide for myself. Jones is the best of three and Lampley is worst.

              No they need to keep him in there he's the Malignaggi version of Shotime. The HBO crew talks so much out of there asses and bias it's ridiculous.

                      I've been down on RJJ in the past due to his inability to speak understandable American English, however I've noted during the past 5 or 6 fights he is doing a much better job of getting his thoughts across.

                      He is improving on the job, which is more than I can say for Lennox Lewis who was a marble mouth from the first day to the last.
