What is the point of Paulie commentating?

[Holystroke3]

Sky sports is brutal. If you only listened to the audio without video you would think the British fighter won every round of every fight they broadcast

[M Bison]

Yeah when you bring that up it was quite annoying but I was too focused on the fight to care whatever rubbish they were spouting.

2 to 3 is the max amount of people you should have in commentary and Adam Smith is taking over the reigns of **** commentating for Jim Watt

If you're listening to the audio and watching It It was still clear that Brook only won one round in that fight but sure they do love to slurp on their promoted fighters I don't get it I don't think boxing is a sport you should be rooting for just your own country man.

They had a guy a little while a go, I cant remember his name or the card he was on, who was great. Really sounded like he knew his boxing.

Even came out with a great Sam Langford anecdote. Havent heard him since though.

Hope they get him back on because he was lightyears ahead of Smith.

Thank god Halling and Watt have gone though. Mccrory is presumably gone for the time being due to his discretions.

Don't get me wrong I love his input. He gives a great insight to what is actually going on in the ring and points out the little adjustments both guys are making but you can never hear him.
Everytime he talks that irritating twerp Adam Smith butts in and talks over him.

Surely I'm not the only one who finds this irritating as ****.

Its not just Adam Smith either its the entire commentary team during the GGG vs Brook fight for example there was literally 4 guys talking over each other the whole time.

At least we don't have to see his facial expressions to go along with his waffle.

As much as I hate Paulie's voice & his gum chewing like talk, he is a good observant & points out mistakes & changes the fighter makes.. Froch is boring & Adam Smith though good is another person who is amp'ed up like Jim TWat even for a glancing blow.. HBO has its share of hype commentators & Sky has 1 more than HBO.. Its better to see the fights on mute..

McCory got sacked for the drunk rampage
I Read they are bringing more people in

Most boxing commentators are horrible. I don't get how some of these guys get hired in the first place & how some have been in the business so long. I don't watch anything except combat sports so idk what other sports are doing, but watching the UFC you see Rogan & Goldie in the moment during every fight actually breaking down the fight & the action. In boxing that virtually never happens & you'll have guys talking about fights in the future that they wanna see or how this fight sucks for x, y or z reason or they are just talking about random boxing stories that have lil to nothing to do with the fight.

You could legit hire a couple reddit boxing RBR guys & get a better overall boxing experience that discusses what is happening & why thats important & what it means, etc & so on than most of these guys who have been phoning it in for a decade or longer. I'd fire these old crusty mfers so fast if I was running any boxing show.

All that said Paulie is a good one, Bernstein is the man, I grew up on O'Grady, Nelson & some of those other UK guys are very solid & on average I tend to view the UK teams as better cuz they can talk about the action & seem to have a genuine passion for the sport which is more than I can say for many of the US guys.

I cut my podcast listening teeth on JRE & I think Rogan is one of the best combat sports commentators in the game today, but those fight companion shows are impossible to listenable to with all the bs & randomness. Its like listening to a party or something that seems highly odd to be listening to than experiencing.

I do think there is a audience for this sorta thing with the lacking commentator skills going on in boxing today if someone took that subgenre of the boxing podcast world seriously. I'd love for the technology to be more interchangable Y& interactive where I could turn on HBO & my favorite Youtube boxing commentator team that is giving their own blow by blow of whats going on.
