    Possibly made aware of the public's criticism of his pro-Groves commentary.

    He did pick Froch to win pre-fight, so that might be another reason.

      Thats why commentators shouldn't pick winners for sporting events they are calling.

          Lmao

          It'd seem that way, its amazing what one win does to someones thoughts.

          Personally cant stand those two on boxnation Steve Lillis and Bunce sometimes they're okay but other times its just Jim Watt level.

                Worse than Teddy Atlas, Howard Cossell, Roy Jones or Pacheco?

Most horribly biased commentator in the game. He was actually supporting the DeGale stoppage, and while I did think DeGale was going to stop Gonzalez eventually, every single fighter out there deserves a chance to show they can overcome and make a comeback. Sack this *******!
                  No.

                  Did he really have Bute winning against Pascal?

                      He picks a fighter to back no matter what in every fight. It's incredible at times.

                      I downloaded the HBO version of last night and thought their coverage was very poor. I usually like to hear HBO but the fact that they were not there didn't help. Also things like Lampley saying Froch had home advantage last time with Manchester being in the midlands..
