Comments Thread For: Al Bernstein Rips Stephen A. Smith For Mocking Horn's Wins, Foes

[sicko]

So you agree that those guys were nobodies when horn fought them but dislike the fact that Smith actually called them nobodies.

Nobodies? NO! Over The Hill/Washed Up? YES!

Smith can say what he wants about ex champions, but the FACT is Horn fought Pacquaio and won the fight, so he's previous opponents didn't matter last night did they?

AL is one of the best, head and shoulders above Atlas... and good for him for speaking out Smith is in a ** hole.. but one thing that surprised me going into the fight Pac in Vegas was only 5-1 favorite VA a B guy, who's the best win's
were vs Randall Bailey & Ali Funeka... that's not saying much...

[PunchyPotorff]

Smith is no more than a loud pompous idiot who thinks he's an expert. Rarely does he EVER 'get it'. And he certainly does absolutely NOTHING to advance the popularity of the sport.

But then, hey, here we are, smack dab in the midst of THE info age... yet we still have stacks of DAs everywhere who blabber on and on... yet are totally clueless. SMDH

100% this bloke is a complete d***head and made a fool out of himself. Also disrespected a 3 time world champion in Randall Bailey and Ali Funeka who has grinded hard his whole career. Hope that moron gets his marching orders.

Well said Bernstein.

I like Steven A., but as a hardcore boxing fan he kind of annoyed me at times and you could tell from Tim Bradley's face that he was getting annoyed with him too. I think Atlas was a bit annoyed with him at times as well. However, he is perfect for the casual boxing fan audience and can hopefully help some of those casuals become hardcore fans. He needs to dial back the Screamin A. personality a little bit though. With that said, I like that ESPN has a post fight boxing show with Steven A. where they talked about the fight afterwards, I wish HBO or Showtime would do the same. I have said for the longest time that they should use Mike Tyson in that role where he could have a Charles Barkley like presence for boxing. People listen when he talks and I cannot believe that no one has ever tried to take advantage of that.

Bernstein might be the greatest commentator of all time when he's not being a suit which he has been in recent years.

[petero]

Yes it's was a pathetic display by Smith. The more he talked the more he revealed himself as the idot he is.
I hope ESPN wakes up. Big Al is 100% correct.

At the 3:00 mark of this clip you can tell that Tim was getting annoyed:

If he can just fall back a bit and take more of a backseat to guys like Bradley and Atlas who are more of an expert at this than him, then I think that he can be a good addition, but coming at Bradley like he did was borderline disrespectful.
