    Lennox Lewis, the 'absolutely' greatest commentator

    I absolutely think lennox is a superior commentator this time around. He absolutely has improved his broadcasting skills. Do I think he's improved since his last time out? Absolutely. If Wright and Taylor have a rematch, I absolutely believe Taylor will work with Emmanuel and absolutely pull out a victory...


    seriously whats up with lennox relying on absolutely this time, last time he commentated he said definately over and over, this time it's absolutely...its like the guy picks a word and has a favorite word of the week...i love the guy but he has a limited vocabulary

    I think he still sucks, but he did give Wright props and gave a pretty fair take of the fight...so good on him for that.

    It's not that he sucks I guess, he just has a hard time getting across different points and he's very monotonous.

          He may use the same word over and over because he is nervous. I just downloaded the fight so I havent seen it yet, but did he seem a little nervous?

            I think Lennox was alright. He didn't seem nervous.

                Not really, although he does look at his co workers when they reply to him almost like he's afraid they call him out about something. It's just that the last time he commentated he said definately like 22 times, and this time he said absolutely in place of definately...Like he made the choice to refine his vocabulary and replace definately with absolutely. he is a pretty good commentator though, he is unbiased and speaks of issues that are important that the avg fight fan does not know about , like balance, etc, and i appreciate that

                    lemme be clearer

                    when you said he said it because of different commentators,

                    did you mean he said definately instead of absolutely just because emmanuel was there? i dont mean to call you out but im just making sure...
