    No one I can see is crying. All I see are the real fight fans who see the way Floyd was protected from ever losing a dec in Vegas. He should have had FOUR losses at least Maidana & Castillo beat him plus he should have been DQ'd against Ortiz & Judah when Roger charged in the ring & attacked Judah. Don't even mention the Floyd-Pac IV gate debacle. Now Canelo has been awarded the same protection but even the Vegas judges couldn't save him from Bivol. He gave Canelo the hiding of a lifetime, if they'd ever given canelo a draw they'd have been a riot. Was close to one against GGG TWICE

    Tim Bradley. He is the worst commentator ever and I’ve heard them all. He doesn’t know what is happening, he makes stupid excited noises and says random things that aren’t happening just in case he can be the only one who noticed it (his ego). He detracts from fights, Andre Ward isn’t great but he seems great in comparison to Bradley.

    Any Josh Warrington fight.

    If Warrington leads with his head, and headbutts his opponent, the Brit commentators would say “ what a brilliantly placed shot”.

    That idiot shouldn't even be announcing. He only got that gig because he is a *** and HBO is run by them. If anyone should have been run off, it should have been Lampley and not Larry Merchant.

    Immediately after the 12th round George said "I'd like to find my words so I could eat them". Can't make more of an admission than that.

    I thought Jim Lampley's on-air orgasm after Joe Mesi knocked out Davarryl Williamson was downright embarrassing. The fight didn't last long enough to show a whole lot of biased commentating, but Lampley was clearly elated that Mesi won.

    It's normal for the commentating crew to talk up the house fighter. The team at ESPN is probably the most obvious example...

    George Foreman thinking Poli Diaz beat Pernell Whitaker.

    Just to put it into context all 3 judges had Whitaker winning by a shut out, so that shows you how bizarre and biased that call was from Big George.

    Plenty of bias commentators but they deny it, the funniest and most obvious one was Harry Carpenter during tyson Bruno 1. Get in there Frank after bruno tagged Mike.

    The Usyk/AJ 2 fight seemed very biased towards Usyk, although completely warranted. Does bias count if it's just true though? :0

    Actually the first 1-5 round Roy jones was pulling hard with his bias for AJ, but smartly switched up at around the middle to late rounds as he knew he what was to be & wanted to sound smart with him over pointing to Usyk's success,

    All these guys are the same type of ****.

    It was on the undercard of the Serrano - Cruz card this weekend.

    Fernando Diaz Boxed Yankiel Riveras ears off for the majority of the fight

    DAZNs pathetic commentary team chose to talk about other fights during much of this, then clamor about Riveras occasional flurry of mostly missed punches or single big shot he’d land, and say things like “Diaz is really tough, good test for Rivera!” Then near the end “ He’s probably gonna try and step it up to score a knockdown now!”

    Poor guy… The disconnect between the commentary team and what was actually happening was mind boggling.
