    Boxnation commentators

    Living in the UK I watch a lot of fights on BoxNation and have to put up with some of the most unknowledgeable boxing commentary known to man.

    Some of the sounds bites from last night.

    'Algieri's fighting like Danny Garcia'

    'Kahns dominating'

    'Kahns going to box better against Mayweather' - Really?? He boxed poorly agains Algieri - hows he going to box better against one of the best boxers ever?

    Please tell me where I can get a good quality live stream!

    I just watched the full fight on YouTube with that commentary and it was dreadful. They making it seem like Khan was putting on a clinic like he did vs Alexander and Collazo. Almost no credit given to Algieri and no acknowledgement that it was a close fight.

      Barry Jones is one of my favorite boxing pundit's, I was surprised at how much he ignored Algieri's work last night. Had to mute the commentary after the 5th round.

      Don't know if you listen to Buncey's ESPN podcast but Barry Jones is the co-host on there and his analysis and knowledge is quality.

        Tell me about it.

        I know Kahns the 'in house fighter' much like floyd on showtime or Pac on hbo but the sheer lack of boxing knowledge was unbelievable.

        Being pro Kahn is one thing. Having zero boxing knowledge is another.

          Just remembered, they called Virgil Hunter "Vernon Hunter" last night.

            I agree, Barry Jones is pretty damn good - honest and not bias.

            He lost it a bit last night, fell into the typical UK media of nuthugging Khan.

            It's becoming cringeworthy.

                  I wanted to avoid the spike tv crew, but boxnation really disappointed.

                    Commentary was almost as bad as Khan's performance
