Originally posted by Bushbaby View PostPersonally, I find Paulie to be a very good & fair commentator. I remember watching the Cotto/Trout fight & him calling the fight similar to how I saw it. By the judges wide scorecards you'd swear Cotto got completely dominated.
Fair in what way exactly? He scored The Cotto-Trout fight a draw, and i forgot which other fight he got completely wrong as well. He also started b1tching about punch stats and his own fight being close after he was beat up by Cano. Paulie is the opposite of fair, he's crazy biased

Both have good fights but the commentating on Showtime is 1000 times better. Al Berstein alone is better than anything HBO has.

EDIT: milkd^d is censored?

Lampleys voice is iconic imo and HBOs presentation is better too. I like the HBO team personally but I also like Showtime as well, they have a different vibe and energy which I dig too. Honestly I think Paulie is GREAT as a commentator, does a top job. I prefer HBO a bit more but Showtime has definitely stepped up their game starting from 2011, gotta admit. Boxing commentary is still much better than MMA commentary too. The UFC has Goldberg who is AWFUL, Florian and Anik as a duo are bland as ****, The Voice Michael Schiavello just goes over the top and has some of the most ridiculous, silly sayings. I like Joe Rogan, he has a lot of knowledge about the MMA game, gives good insight and while he can be a little unprofessional at times (more so the past few years probably due to how much he does his podcast and its got him getting too comfortable and the fact he is high) he is still solid.
