    And Showtime came up real short there this year. Without BeIn this year on US TV would have been even worse.
    Some of the best fights I've ever seen were in Spanish. I remember watching great Mexican fights on UHF when I was a kid. The crowd sounds the same, the rest doesn't matter.

          My fave fight this year is from Thailand, a few years ago there was a fight in South Korea that had my jaw dropping on the floor.

              As someone the closely pays attention to networks and their boxing as well as records all the shows. I have to completely agree with HBO winning and with the assessment of the other networks. Great evaluation!

                  Kind proving his point though since those words aren't English? I have to say though, I do prefer English commentary.

                  On the specific commentators I'm not bothered except for Malignaggi, always like to hear him.
