      Good to see Robert getting worked outside the ring and not in it.

        I will be flipping between Showtime and Fox on that night.... It will be good to hear Hunter give analysis as it is happening. Good on the PBC for getting some knowledgeable guys commenting...

          Robert isn't the most articulate guy but I think he's better then most former boxers, and always get a kick out of listening to hunter talk

            ... There won't be any need to flip between the two shows, if my understanding of it all is correct.

              Any idea what Sean Grande sounds like on commentary?

              The new host chick is absolutely gorgeous and Hunter/Guerrero have proven themselves to be more than good enough on commentary to make for a really good longterm team if the third man can hold their own.

              Ray Flores carrying the FS1 shows (with a fighter being rotated in to complete the two-man team), with the new guy holding his own on FOX (paired with a trainer/fighter to complete the three-man team; Virgil Hunter should be on as many of the shows as his schedule can allow) and you could have a longterm framework to consider.

                I like the Ghost! I think most of his problems have to do with timing. It will come with time. He definitely knows his boxing. As he gets more experience and gets a regular partner I think things will get smother for him. Adding Virgil Hunter won't hurt that's for sure!

                  Robert has done well in commentating & Virgil knows the game too, good to see PBC holding it down & putting some guys that know the sport commentating.

                    I like the idea of having a trainer/boxer team commentating. They know each other and how to talk to each other, so there won't be any awkwardness between the two.

                    Not only that, but you would hear two differing perspectives. A fighter's perspective, and a trainer's perspective.
