[Rip Chudd]

Really not interested in hearing Stephen A scream over the voices of the other commentators.

I ****ing hate this guy. I just know hes gonna be mentioning floyd. But just how many times?

[sweetpea87]

I wonder if he is just going to try and yell over Kenny and Bradley if he disagrees with them like he does on that show with Skip Bayless. Surely Arum could have someone better. I usually can tune out the commentary pretty well but this guy might be hard.

[HanzGruber]

is he gonna be the color man or play by play? no racist jokes

really cant imagine him doing well at either

Jesus ****ing Christ. I'm going to want to run full speed into a brick wall after hearing this guy talk out of his ass. Was Larry Merchant not available?

How many commentators will there be? I'm surprised HBO would allow this

[creekrat77]

Stephen A. goes over board with exaggerations and delusional theories but that's exactly what boxing needs. It's become too white caller and elitist. The idea it's "fun" to watch smart business man boxers bleed the sport dry by cherry picking is pathetic

Bradley's the analyst/color man. Brian Kenny will do the play by play. And Stephen A. will be in the "Max Kellerman" role.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

I feel like the standard commentators Max and Jim wouldn't want to compete with a radio guy like Stephen A
After all they do probably have an ego to their position in boxing. Not saying Stephen A. knows a ton of boxing but he's definitely a commanding personality and very entertaining. But idk they may all like opening up boxing and bringing in a fellow broadcaster
