        Are you referring to the Provodnikov fight, when his speech was slurred and before the JMM fight he went to New York to get "treatment"

        Or am I missing something

            Articulates about as well as Bernard or Antonio. Paulie is much better, as is Roy for that matter.
            Repeated the same phrase numerous times last night...
            "Lures him to sleep". which should be lulls him.
            "Tooken" instead of taken.
            Along with several others I can't recall atm but the fight wasn't even good enough for me to go back & re-watch even if I cared.

            Listen, Bradley is a good guy & I actually like him as both a fighter & a person, he's definitely been around the sport a long time, but to say that he's a good spokesperson is pretty ridiculous. I'm no English major either, so as I said, don't really care. Not watching boxing for the commentary, but a good one can always improve the telecast.

              U know what I'm just happy for tim that he got a gig outside the ring. The man worked hard inside the ring all these years. Tbh I don't care what the commentators say anyways, I'm watching the dam fight.

                The Pac-Horn fight he talked like he was buzzed. Too many times I just really haven't agreed with what he's saying either.

                      He Improved, he provides Balance among all the Bias from Joe Tessitore and that OTHER GUY who I honestly don't know his name. ESPN probably holding on to that guy until they can get Max Kellerman from HBO to cover boxing on their Network as well that would really make ESPN Boxing Coverage Official!
