Comments Thread For: Andy Lee Tired of "Biased" Commentary During Sky Sports Cards

[bojangles1987]

Sky Sports has the most consistently awful commentary and scorecards of any network I see boxing on. They're ****ing blind, biased, or both.

I've been saying that its been like this for years in the UK. American Tv and commentary is for everybody and is not catered towards americans. We feature the best fighters period no matter the country and pick your fav fighter. Dont just go for the british or american fighter. The way they do over there. There knowledge is limited to just there fighters and biased crowds,judges,refs, commentary, fans you name it .

Andy Lee is a hero. Sky Sports Boxing is becoming like their football coverage - OTT and irritating.

[KING5TWENTY]

Max Kellerman of hbo and Paulie Malignaggi of showtime are the best your getting. Al Berstein is Al he has been solid for years.

Every country's commentators root for their guys don't they?

USA is more of a case-by-case thing.

Boxnation is just as bad. Paulie either favors the Haymon fighter, or the defensive fighter, every single time. Every single time. In his mind Ward whooped Kovalev. Jacobs whooped Golovkin. Jacobs won the 9th round vs Golovkin. It goes on and on. And the rest of the BN crew are followers who just parrot whatever Paulie says.

Yeah fighters do that. George Foreman always gave props to the brawler/aggressor because that's what he was, Paulie give it to the slick guy because that what he was (I guess), and Lennox Lewis always favored the guy whose name he could pronounce.

Yeah , 've always found Paulie too biased.
When he's on Uk tv i hate how other guys will just cling onto his words. It's like they don't want to upset him incase he doesn't come back for another gig.
I'm no Jim Watt fan, but i like the fact he didn't always feel the need to run with whatever Paulie would say if it was silly talk.

I used to enjoy them but they've gotten particularly bad and find myself muting or dialing back the volume lately.
BTW guys, the fact that HBO is biased doesn't make it ok for Sky to get a pass.

Lee is spot on. Brits are so cringeworthy to listen to. Especially the pre-fight and post-fight commentary.
