    I did not hear anything on the broadcast. Andy reads these forums so maybe he can contact u on this matter.

    I believe Andy stated Tongia was giving Giltrow a boxing lesson
    Scores prior to stoppage were 67/66, 68/66, 68/66 all for Giltrow :p

    i give up with andy sometimes. does he even watch the fights he commentates?

    oh, and this wasnt briggs's first stint back either. he worked a show a few months after the green debacle, cant recall which one.

    I like Briggs as a commentator, his been in the wars and he has deep boxing pedigree. But most off all his is the least bias of the lot.

    Much better than barry, he stinks!

    Briggs facebook was bagging boxing over the weekend with the PBF v Ortiz fight saying it was a disgrace and that UFC is much better..... Thought it was funny coming from him given the Green fiasco.

    Looks like both Briggs and Raymond are pushing MMA over Boxing these days, they shld be lucky to have jobs in boxing if that's how they feel.

    The three ringside commentators , Andy, paul and Nat never stopped yacking
    during the fights about anything other than what was actually happening in the ring.
    Very annoying and distracting.
    Have a listen to some of the better commentaries from the UK and USA and
    you might learn something boys.
    Sometimes less can be better.

    Briggs is a good commentator but zero credibility now after the Green fight and Andy Raymond has always been terrible.

    True that.
    Briggs is 1 of the only half decent Aussie commentators.
    Chris McCullen is a good guy & has improved over the last couple years as a commentator.
    HBO/Showtime's coverage or even UK Sky Sports coverage is just in a completely different league & quality.
    Promoters aint just given dates either which is a big issue that must change in Australia for overall quality to improve.

    at the very least good to see him working again considering his personal issues and shame from his last outing.

    yeah i thought he was clearly the best, but after he suddenly fell asleep in the ring vs green, i just think he should be flicked. problem is that its hard to get a decent replacement.

    one guy i think is ok is that bob guy. the yank fellow, anyone think of his name?
