    Could not agree more on Mora, but I like Kenny. For a guy who came to boxing late he has learned a lot. The best thing I like about Kenny is the way he never forgets to make a point about whether a guy is a "titlest" or a "champion". Also you can tell he loves the sport and cares about its heath.
    I wouldn't mind Kenny keep a job as a side commentators kinda like what ESPN did with Mark Kriegel, took him out of the main crew and replaced him with Andre but still allowed him to do a little and interview fighters.

      That would be fine, but I don't mind him with the main crew, I like him. Now Kriegel I cant stand ever since his 1st day. Teddy did start off being an azz to him for some reason, but did not like the fact he kept picking at him after that knowing he was firing Teddy up. Teddy lost his job over that incident. Not that he did need to be reprimanded. Teddy was right though about what he was saying. I forget who was fighting, but Teddy pointed out the guy was not really trying to win at that point, and was looking to go distance. Mark kept saying over and over about how the guy was not quitting, but that's not what Teddy was saying he was just saying the guy was not really looking to win anymore. Now Teddy can get on my nerves too, but the guy REALLY has a deep love for boxing. What do you think of Mark?

        I hear you on Mora I don't think he is a good commentator either. Im not crazy about Jones either though. I wish Malignaggi could get the job, but he is tied to Showtime. With their shortage of fights of late its starting to look like HBO right before they dropped out. They have been putting out the SHOWBOX cards, but their has been a big decline from they're regular shows. He might be looking for a new job soon. I love the way he breaks down fights, and he don't dumb it down for the casuals. I know he is not every ones cup of tea when he was fighting, but I think he is the best commentator in the buis right now.
        I'm 100% Italian like him, I'm not from New York but I get him. His voice can be annoying, kinda like Joe Pesci but your right his analysis is the best. Great insight. Roy did a great job and I like him better. I miss Lampley's call and 24/7. They will never be matched

            This is what they're asking for half a billion for? These people are going for name recognition. That's the only reason they'd use LeBron James and Sly Stallone. People aren't subscribing for boxing. You think they'll subscribe for boxing documentaries? These people are more clueless than I originally thought.

              Anyone else watch the trailer to this? Shyt is like a movie instead of a documentary. Looking forward to this.
