    Can you give an example???? Any other commentators out there with similar experiances???? (career battles, longevity and credited wins???) Love him, or hate him, the guy is the most under rated LW/jLW in the history of our sport.

    Not sure how he may have embarassed himself in front of the mic. either...

    ...and I'm sure he still spells his own name correctly.

    His constant love for Mundine is a bit of a worry. Mundine is a good boxer but he is no were near as good as Barry talks him up to be.
    So in that way he does embaress himself.

    I see.... fair enough. Mate, he is paid to commentate these cards.... clearly by the Mundine advertisers. Barry is a money maker, and will say the appropriate things to ensure his next pay day. Regardless, he is never silly enough to be too foolish for the sake of a dollar. He has faith in the Man.. and when the curtain seems to be falling, it will not land on Barry. He will be out of the building, safe at home, and negotiating the next venture.

    Barry is a joke of a commentator, the faster he disappears the better.
    If he wants to stay on he needs to stop with his huge bias of Mundine...its beyond pathetic.

    I actually would rather listen to punch drunk Jeff Fenech, then stupid Barry Michael & that says something.
    Barry is friggin embarrasing.

    I think he is going well and he has the past in the sport to keep the job.....he knows what side his bread is buttered on.....and to keep the bread coming in he will continue to nut hug Mundine.

    Why do you think he is under rated ? He beat a Lester Ellis that had been destroyed in his two previous victories (two of the toughest fights any teenager has ever been thrown into) Then a couple of very unworthy opponents. THE first decent fighter he meets destroys him. How is he under rated?

    I met Barry a couple of times and he seems a good bloke, i think his efforts behind the MIC are at times a touch biased..... but Hey! what commentator isn't these days?

    He pushes the Mundine barrow a lot and i too like Barry was doing the same thing for a while, but now i've sort of jumped off. In Barry's defence he's still on the payroll so i guess it's hard for him in a way.

    Yep, thats my reason for the thread. His oh's and ah's when Mundine barely lands is embarrasing.

    Meh....I dont mind him but he isnt my favourite...He is no Michael "The Voice" Schiavello but I would probably rather him over Jeffrey "And em er" Fenech.
