When Leonard finally retired and called fights at ringside, he was constantly talking about himself and what he would have done if he were in with a fighter who was in the ring. Too much ego.

Originally posted by BodiesInFlight View PostAre you thinking of Jaime Moore? He's a good one but seems to only do the Fight Night cards.
One thing I notice about the SKY commentators is they keep repeating the same things they said in rounds previous. It's annoying as hell.

Originally posted by sicko View PostVery DRY Coverage overall. Sergio Mora and Chris Mannix are keepers...The Rest Can Go! Brian Kenny is a dry Play by Play guy as well he is better as a HOST not a Play by Play guy at all. The Broadcast Team needs some PERSONALITY for sure! Sky Sports Action Coverage>DAZN
Mora is good, too.

Originally posted by IrishDiscussion View PostBut he had the epic joke after the lowblow, how long do you take for a blow like that ray? "20 m...uh, a month" Remember, commentators are schooled to give dumbed down versions of what they're seeing.

Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostBoxing is a rare bird, in more ways than one. It never ceases to amaze me how the most experienced and even legendary personalities don’t seem to know nearly as much about the sport as one would imagine. At the very least they simply can’t articulate their knowledge. This is in contrast to other sports I’m very familiar with. Take baseball for instance. There are a slew of commentators who impart a wealth of information and obvious wisdom every time they open their mouths — men like Alex Rodriguez and Pete Rose, to name just two. Paulie Malignaggi is one of the precious few boxing commentators that seems to know what the hell he’s talking about. It’s just strange.
Another reason is that the pool of known + elite former boxers is pretty small so the odds of finding one who's also a talented commentator are really low.

Originally posted by Sable&Whitefish View PostThey've taken a lot of shots to the head, even if they're not full on punch-drunk every former boxer that had a long career has brain damage from the collective blows to the dome. There's no way around it. I can hear it when SRL speaks, I can hear it when Roy Jones speaks... and everyone in between.

Originally posted by Sable&Whitefish View PostPaulie is interesting because he's an annoying person who I like in spite of his personality because he's actually insightful. In the Usyk/Bellew fight when he noticed and mentioned a couple of times that Usyk realized he needed to throw more of a looping left hook to land on Bellew and then we saw Usyk throw it a few more times you had to be like, damn, this guy knows exaaactly what he's talking about. He's always making great observations that will, I think, outweigh his personality lol
I’ve always been a fan of Paulie I just don’t like him hanging with these clowns on Matchroom.
