The HBO crew definitely follow a narrative. They didn't mention anything Chilemba was doing in the first half of the fight. Then when they finally stopped being biased they were acting like Chilemba came in the fight as a HW. They made seem like Bivol couldn't knock him because of height, weight, and even Roy Jones in the corner.
The Kovalev commentary was all over the place. It seemed like they kinda thought Alvarez could win the fight so they hyped him up at first. Then when Kovalev had a good round they immediately jumped on his nuts. Kellerman sounded like a HS cheerleader after the stoppage.
