    barry is no grub. he is a decent man by all accounts. yes he is a bit of a mundine nuthugger, as his commentary...screams.

    but lets call a spade a spade. barry is a decent man, an honourable man, a former world champ, and liked by people that know him.

    barry is a good bloke. he just needs to adjust his commentary style. although its probably too late, as mudine will be fighting overseas from now on. one wonders what damage barry has done himself as a commentary candidate in future aussie non mundine fights?

    One of Michaels best calls was during the 9th round in the Kessler fight where Mundine got one of his best little moments in with some pitter patter shots, and Michaels could somehow suddenly sense an upset, albeit for only a few seconds.

    "KESSLER'S HURT!!!!, HE'S GOT KESSLER HURT!!!!'"
    I bet he was that tense that he latched onto Raymond's hand at the time.

    I don't think I'm alone too, when I say that Kessler didn't resemble a barely hurt man in that little flurry.

    Fans fume at one-sided Anthony Mundine callArticle from: Font size: Decrease Increase Email article:

    That is the opinion of fight fans fed up with Michael's one-sided and servile commentary whenever he appears on Fox at a Mundine bout.

    Gallery: Incredible action pics from the fight

    "I couldn't believe the commentator continually kept awarding Mundine the points on his scorecard. All I could see was that Geale was kicking his ass and could barely see what Mundine was getting points for," one fight fan wrote.

    And he wasn't alone in his opinion with thousands of viewers in pubs and clubs across the nation puzzled by Michael's unofficial scorecard, which was inexplicably awash with 10-9 rounds awarded to Mundine when Geale clearly had the upper hand.

    It wasn't just what was said during the broadcast, but what wasn't said that infuriated viewers who were hoping for a fair, unbiased coverage.

    When Geale connected with his shots, the Main Event commentary team members were deafening in their silence. But when Mundine laid even the barest hint of leather on his opponent, there were roars from Michael and his cohorts, who struggled to find superlatives to do justice to The Man's awesome skills.

    Fellow commentator Andy Raymond, at least, tried to bring some semblance of balance to the broadcast - even at one stage suggesting Geale was entitled to feel "robbed" if the judges awarded the fight to Mundine.

    But he should be careful.

    It was only recently that Main Event team member Paul Briggs was shunted from the line-up and banished from Mundine's fights. His crime? Tipping Danny Green would beat Mundine if the re-match between the pair ever eventuated.

    Seeing Mundine's moments of ascendecy in that fight you could count on one hand Im pretty sure I remember it.

    Kess takes a few steps back...sets himself, stand his ground and rams a jab right back down Choc's throat.
