ESPN Needs to Suspend Tessitore for Excessive, Shameless Bias

[animelive]

Stop being a little ***** and mute it if it hurts your feefees so much. What a soft-****, getting triggered by commentators.

Horrible. Disgusting one sided bias commentary. Loma wasn't winning on 2 of the judges score cards but they were acting like loma who was being out landed and dropped was dominating the fight. it was a close fight. Bradley tried to mention the work Linares was doing but tessitore had no intentions of calling a fair fight. He was there to suck loma off.

Arguably the worst commentary team I've ever heard. Just terrible. Tim Bradley is ok, but Tessitore and Kriegal are awful with their bias for the house fighter. People say just mute the sound, but you wanna hear the shots land and the crowd react. This was a really good fight, but listening to Joe and Kriegal, you would think it was all one-way traffic.

It's weird with Lomachenko and I don't quite get it at all, it's not even so much the commentators but the crowd seems to be amused at the way Lomachenko makes his opponent reset even when he doesn't land anything. I don't get it, sometimes I think I'm stuck in the matrix because I've seen elite fighters do this often.

Even Bradley started it all by saying Lomachenko was the most complete fighter he's ever seen, I mean......lord help me.

Lmao

Dude, relax, it’s commentators, they are trying to sell the product to casuals. WWE announcers do the same shyt.

That’s his JOB

I usually blast music during fights. Should've done that tonight. Listening to Tessitore was nauseating.

Loma lands a jab then he goes " what a jab by Loma! we haven't seen a jab that crisp since the 1920's am I right guys."

FOH

Loma is P4P top three. This thread isn't about him. It's about a commentator shamelessly deep throating one fighter when his job is to call the fight.

The only other fight I can compare it to is Pacquiao/Bradley 1 when HBO gave Timmy zero credit for anything he did and had ******s whenever Manny threw a punch.

If Roy Jones needs to be fired for his rant about a DQ on GGG then a guy likes Tessitore doesn't belong near a mic.

A suspension is more than fair.

[Holystroke3]

You almost have to respect ESPN (on Top Rank and GBP shows) for not even trying to hide it



But they HAVE to get Kreigel off the mic.

i watched the fight on mute. linares was rarely landing clean flush punches. lomachenko was constantly. i was watching closely and the punches were flying by loma, hitting his gloves and shoulders. just pay more attention next time and you might get it. tessitore is a god damn legend!!!

[E-Thug]

I agree completely. I always felt Joe would be immune from falling into the trap of **** riding but tonight, he was absolutely disgusting.

Just a shameful charade of audio ruining a tremendous fight. I thought HBO are bad with their bias but Jos Tessitore took it to another level tonight
