Rawlings deserves the hate for being a biased f*ck, pushing the british agenda to the limit but Renallo is very bad, "mamma mia", seriously ? :tired That's how you ruin a highlight.
Rawling is poor. Barry Jones , his co-host , is decent though. Woodhall isn't bad either but can be too biased. Ive grown to like Lamply a lot. Bernstien sounds out of place. None of them have anything thing on ATG- Merchant.
john rawlings "there's his danger punch" boring overrated ill informed **** just like all of skys and boxnations mickey mouse pundit teams that just state the obvious like dumb ass football pundits average poster on here holds more knowledge than skys entire team
I am going with Ranallo too. And I think Showtime knows he stinks because they only give him around 5% of the dialogue, which I am thankful for.
At least he has passion and some knowledge of the sport. Plus he is not bias or i have failed to catch him so. Although the whole SHO crew has a hardon for Matthysse.
Yes. Ranallo has a better, more enthusiastic voice than Rawling, and he's not biased for or against certain boxers.
I like Ronald McDonald, the tall black lad at the BBC. Bloody good value he is, although somewhat of an acquired taste. Talks in all sorts of convoluted cliches but he's entertaining, and his enthusiasm is totally infectious. He even made wimbledon interesting. :good Rawling shite.
Can't listen to the Sky guys in the UK if the fight involves a British fighter. Some of the HBO guys have traits that just annoy me. Like Kellerman always talking like he's delivering some long winded monologue, Roy Jones likes to laugh sometimes at comments he's made himself and Larry Merchant just taking forever. Worst called fight ever heard was Floyd/Cotto by Bob Sheridan. Its what I imagine the commentary for a Floyd fight would be like if you let Leonard Ellerbe do it.
The color commentator ( don't know his name ) for British fights. Has an awful voice, sounds like he's worried all the time Jim Watt, he annoys me but i guess i will give him a pass. I didn't know he was that old
He's the one who grinds my personal gears. He forms an impression of the fight in the first couple of rounds, and then uses that to shape his analysis and scoring of the fight from then on, regardless of what is actually happening. He seems more interested in proving himself right than giving any kind of meaningful insight. Add in that he is possibly the least deserving triple-crown champion in boxing history, and calls everyone "kid" despite most fighters being able to hide him in their gym socks. The end result is something that I don't to see or listen to.
