    Thanks for the Thai history lesson, Jim!

    So after all these years of covering boxing and watching the 3K Battery's, the Kratingdaenggym's, Kokietgym's, etc this guy thought those were their real last names until 8am yesterday morning? LMAO what a tool, definitely a cringe worthy moment

    And complaining about how to properly pronounce his name. You're paid generously to commentate at a sport you love but you can't google or ask somebody informed how to pronounce the fighters name? Most Sceners here would be better than him.

      and then Lederman steps in at one point and says something like, "and there have actually been good Thai fighters before". Really? There has been good Thai fighters before they haven't all ******??

          I didn't mind him explaining it to viewers who might not have known, but the fact that he said HE never knew this until 8am that day was embarrassing being that he's been in the sport for decades!

              I dreaded the commentary all night. Can we just call the fight, punches are being exchanged and you guys are talking about Thai History or explaining boxing in such a way that almost insults the casual viewer telling them they don't know what they are seeing.

                    Commentary during PAC fight was horrible. Jones and kellerman riding Algiers jock the whole fight. Tried to make it sound like it was competitive .. Jones is entertaining but he just says the opposite of whoever is talking.
