    Which networks commentators KEEP IT REAL - Showtime or HBO?

    Which network has the most genuine commentators, calling things how they really are, instead of trying to convey a hidden agenda of the network in their commentating? is it Showtime commentators or HBO?

    I guess i'm wondering what the commentators are going to say about Garcia vs Salka fight..

    Showtime and it's not really even close. Lampley falls in love with guys, RJJ falls in love with black fighters, and Kellerman is the closest to being real, but also falls in love with certain guys way too much.

    Both sides have played the house guy from time to time, but individually no one falls in love with certain fighters like HBO's entire team.

        To be honest, Showtime easily. They will tell you when a guy is losing or not no matter how popular he is. They are no where near as Bias as HBO.

          Not just Lampley, HBO in general falls in love with certain fighters, thats why we are forced fed fighters on HBO in comparison to Shotime, we get to see many different fighters and pick and choose who we like. Perfect example I can give is Zou Shiming. Now granted he is a respected olympian, but this guy has headlined I think this will be his 3rd HBO card coming up, and not only that, headlining over one of the best boxers in the world. With Shotime, we get a variety of fighters and we are not force fed who they want us to like (or their favorites). For instance, Antoine Douglas will be headlining a card on the 25th.

            HBO is hella biased. HBO gets wet for certain fighters, Like Manny Pacquiao.

                Sho is almost as bad as espn. They have nonexperts doing commentary, they have a mma guy, berstein who always rides paulies **** and a jersey shore gatekeeper whos racist

                At least hbo lets fans text in after a fight to see who won and they have a fotd in RJJ and a elite trainer in Manny Steward

                paula would get thrown out the door if he tried to get a job at hbo

                  Showtime

                  HBO usually keeps it real for the undercards and then they're super biased in the main event. Showtime keeps it real 95% of the time.

                    Showtime... HBO is so biased towards fighters they are invested on (but pretend that we don't know that) , they pretend boxers don't exist (golden boy fighters)
