You make a good point lol, but yeah I like Paulie and Roy. I like their commenatry, and Paulie puts forth some interesting scorecards, does 10-10 rounds and stuff like that. I have no problem with Paulie or even Al Bernstein's commentary style, it's just Ranallo that I can't stand. I mean I'd rather Sugar Ray Leonard call a fight than any of these loudmouth asshats like Atlas or Ranallo. Kellerman and Lampley, I'm not saying they are the best commentators ever, but they are much more tolerable than Atlas was in this fight or Ranallo is in general. And frankly, one bad apple makes an entire commentary poor. Paulie and Al are fine, but with Ranallo, he just brings down the whole telecast, whereas Roy Max and Jim actually have a good chemistry and if I had to choose one to listen to, it would be HBO. (but yeah Paulie may actually be the best of the bunch in terms of being unbiased and just good to listen to)
Yep. And I think the other night just after the Kov/Ward 2 fiasco the UFC had some very controversial early stoppage. At least that's what I gathered from a Joe Rogan podcast. Bad scores, bad calls, and bad stoppages happen in both sports. Smith is just a bigger fan of the UFC.
In my opinion and this is just my opinion, but Atlas was way more overbearing in this fight than Max or Lampley have ever been.
The ironic thing here is that Atlas absolutely hates Pacquiao. Atlas never even let loose about them emails did he? Lo and behold, it's ironic now since Atlas is carrying the robbery torch on Pac's behalf.
yup id take HBO over Showtime any day although I respect Malinaggi. RJJ will always be my boy, and Lampley has a primetime lead persona. Still don't mind Teddy, he speaks the truth on a lot of things.. more than happy to see him and Stephen A more often on the boxing scene..
Who is that Steve A hole guy from ESPN post show, he was screaming and then went on personal attacks about Jeffs last name and how anyone else on the planet would KO him. They show some highlights of Horn connecting with punches and he starts tripping over his own words and goes silent for a bit. Then screams some more about round 9 until they show it and screams some more. Snowflake.
Just re watched it again and ESPN guys going off about how good Manny did that round then show highlights of Horn connecting in slow motion, sure they lost big money on this fight...
I agree. Having to listen to Stephen A Smith sit there and go over Horns resume and tell us hes never heard of Randall Bailey and Ali Funeka is kind of sickening. People are supposed to take him seriously?
Hearing him then praise UFC because bad decisions don't happen there. I also watch every UFC event as well, just about every one of them have a fight that is a clear joke of a decision. Other than read headlines it looked like this was the first fight Steve Ahole watched. The fight went different to the headlines told him it would go and he went on like a maniac disrespecting Horn and his country. Atlas was pathetic as well, talking all sorts of **** and kept going on about rd9. Tells Horn in person respectfully he thought he lost but shook his hand etc. When Horn isn't around he goes back to screaming and putting **** on him.
What was Teddy Atlas 's scorecard? I had it 7-5 to Horn, the British commentary team said the US had Pac by a large margin but didn't say the score.
Atlas should never commentate fights IMO, he taints it and stinks up the joint. Stephen A Smith is a casual and I want to hear insight.
