  • The quality of the HBO commentary team last night...

    If someone offered you a million to answer the question "which one's the biggest ****", it'd be a tough ask, wouldn't it? Just some "highlights"...



    Jim - Talking about Postol "being knocked on the seat of his pants", seconds after Postol is cuffed down to a knee and gets right back up. If you can't see what's happened in front of your own eyes, then why not STFU and let us just watch the fight? What pisses me off about these guys is they do not STFU for a SECOND. As annoying as UK commentary can be, they at least pause for breath sometimes, realising that it's actually OKAY to let two seconds pass without having to spew out bull****. It's not "dead air", because people are tuning in to WATCH THE FIGHT. ****s.


    Max Keller**** - Continuing his decline into a human NSB post, the guy now gives us talk about Crawford getting his brain as a computer chip in PC World and "I think the AMERICAN STYLE is NOT being as THICK as SHIT. Anyone else in the WORLD is as THICK as SHIT as a BOXER, Jim."


    Royston "Roy" Jones - "Ooooh, dat's not the punch that I want to see Postol land." Wait, WHAT??? Why don't you want to see him land that punch in your role as objective commentator??? Also pisses me off when Roy starts talking about whether a fighter has a good chin or not... next thing you know, the **** will be talking about whether boxers can rap, act, and have a big pecker. All I want to hear from Roy when a punch lands is him go: "And you see right there, Jim, what a great chin this guy has... he took a punch and didn't spend 15 minutes sleeping on the canvas like I would."



    They're a bunch of wankers, ain't they?

    They're terrible. There's no blow by blow and they just have conversations through the whole damn fight.

      How about that oaf Harold "Freddy is giving him good advice it's just that Postol doesn't know how to cut off the ring". And whose fault is that you big dummy, isn't it Roach's job to teach his fighters how to cut off the ring?

          I noticed later Max giving Freddie Roach (sorry, "Freddie ROACH") a pass in the equation.

          "It's not HIS FAULT, Jim... he's an AMERICAN."

            Do ya'll listen to the broadcast just to complain? It's the same complaints after every fight. Turn the sound down and watch the fight. Turn the sound on between rounds to hear what the corner is saying. Why torture yourself fight after fight?

              The sound of punches indicates how hard a blow lands, too.

              Y'all must realise that.

                The reaction indicates how hard a blow lands more than the sound. I've been to a lot of fight parties and you can't even hear the sound.

                  do you think thats why floyd made maidana where pillow gloves? so that people couldn't hear how hard he was punching floyd? i assume they still had eyes but floyd wasn't able to get the viewers/judges to wear blindfolds even though he tried to put that in the contract.

                    So why would I turn the sound down then?
