ESPN Needs to Suspend Tessitore for Excessive, Shameless Bias

[Motorcity Cobra]

It was disgusting listening to this guy all night long.

Calling Loma the biggest attraction in boxing and having an ****** anytime he landed anything.

I've listened to every commentator in the sport from the last 10-15 years and have never seen anything like this.

The d*ck gobbling went way overboard. It was blatant and shameless.

I've seen commentators d*ck ride Floyd and Pacquiao. But it never was this bad.

ESPN needs to suspend him for excessive bias.

You had a few G stringers here asking HBO to FIRE Roy Jones after his rant about the DQ.

This was worst than that. Let's keep it real.

All three of the guys are paid by Top Rank. You can't expect an unbiased crew when the promoter putting on the show is paying them

[Robbie Barrett]

ESPN are by far the worst. They ignore almost everything the opponent does. Barrera was landing combinations on Adames in the last few rounds that went completely ignored, but when Adames landed one punch in return they cream their pants.

Pacquiao-Horn was probably the worst commentary in history. They made thousands of ******ed Americans believe it was a robbery. The rest of the world saw a close fight.

[BoloPuncher1]

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.

Ever since they took Teddy off the announce team, the bias has been through the roof and then some.
And agreed a million percent on Kriegal, he's good for pre-fight stories, but completely pathetic in the broadcast booth.

commentary was disgusting in a fight that could have went either way until the stoppage they made it sound like only one person was in the fight.

you probably think ward-kovaelv 1 could have gone either way. i watched it withot commentary. the clean punches and the hurtful shots(especially body) were largely dominated by loma. thats not a fight that can go either way. an underdog doing better than expected doesn not mean it can go either way

Yeah I do, two of the refs agreed with me and punch stats favoured Linares. Either way Loma won by stoppage and deserves credit for that.

[sicko]

He was never like that on Friday Night Fights but yeah he is BEYOND BIAS to the point that they didn't even Acknowledge some of the work that Linares was doing

He might be worse than Jim Lampley and that is saying A LOT!

Exactly. Kreigel is a good addition at ESPN for the story telling, but the guy is not a commentator

Tessitor, Bradley, and Kreigel is an awful crew

[SweetPbfAli]

I had to mute my TV honestly. It was like I was watching a Loma highlight reel. They rarely have credit to Linares for his work.

Dont really see for this fight, i mean they called Linares punches when he was throwing his flurries even though i think most hit Loma's arms so you gotta give specific moments of this in this fight.
