    Times when commentators have done a great job

    we usually discuss the times a commentary team has been horrible and biased but some times they are amazing so lets talk about those times.

    1. naseem hamed vs kevin kelly - perfect commentary by lampley, foreman and larry.

    larry: hamed is supposed to have some power of his own with his quickness, we havnt seen the evidence as of yet

    lampley: ohhh down goes kelly, theres the power!!

    later on, foreman: you dont want to be mixing up with kelly because he can punch

    lampley: down goes hamed!!

    2. margarito vs cotto 1 - steward from round 1 was saying how difficult it will be for cotto to handle the pressure and size, boy was he right.

        Ferdie Pacheco wasn't an excitement guy but he had great quotes throughout many of the fights he called. Same for Merchant.

        The announcers during the 10th round of Castillo-Corrales I were on point as well, particularly as the fight ended.

          Max Kellerman in the first JMM-Juan Diaz fight. He saw JMM turning that fight around and was taking control rounds before it became totally clear.

          Might be his best moment as an announcer.

            Steve Albert (just remembered the name) had a lot of great moments.

                  Max Kellerman's little speech after Ortiz quit against Maidana was great and on point. Probably his best moment as a commentator.

                    Any fight Dan Dierdorf and Alex Wallau called. They were a great team
