As I did and watch the Maloney v Franco debacle, I think to myself....ESPN should be ashamed of itself and if I were a non Top Rank fighter I am unsure if they could pay me enough money to fight on a Top Rank card.
Since WHEN do the announcers involve themselves in the outcome of a fight? Listen, I was ROOTING for Maloney, but I became SICKENED when see Joe Tessitore literally have a meltdown on live TV, screaming at the commission to do a replay. Something tells me that if it were reversed that CASUAL CLOWN Joe Tessitore would have had a completely different attitude (seeing as Franco is with Golden Boy.
So HEAR YE' HEAR YE'. Any "opponent" fightig on a Top Rank/ESPN card, it is clear as day that the announcers will not only sway public opinion about the outcome of a fight, but in my 45+ years of boxing.....this is the FIRST TIME I have ever seen the announcers directly effect the outcome of the fight.
Once again, please ask yourself if it were the Golden Boy fighter who had a wrong call made against him, would Joe The Stooge Clown Arum Sucking Tessitore have the same ferver and lose all integrity?
This is a sad day for boxing, and to be honest, I am digusted to the point I don't think I can stimach to watch the Crawford/Brook fight. I'll tell you this...Kell Brook is potentially my least favorite active boxer, but as this point I am rooting for him.
So ***** ESPN if they do not immediatly fire the clown who abused his position to directly efffect the outcome of a fighter he was obviously rooting for. Once again, I have been around and have watched sports of all type for well over 50 years. This is by far the most disgusted I have ever been my an announcer (and I have no vested interest) I'm out.
