    The one that springs to mind recently is HBO's dire work on Martinez v Williams II, the KO.

    Bob Papa - "Good left hand, and down goes Williams." :deal

    Manny Steward - "I think it was a right hand." :patsch

    Bob Papa - "A right hand, Williams threw the left, Williams down.":lol:

    Another one is Duran's quit job against SRL. That co-commentator clown who keeps saying "I don't understand it, I don't understand it." He must have said it about 29 times. :patsch

    Some people should be kept away from a microphone. :nono

    Pete, why do you have a pitiful vCash total of 75? :lol::patsch

    And who is that boxer in your avatar? He looks like the type of guy who would have a Fragile Glass Mandible.:deal

    Commentary would never ruin a great moment in boxing for any fan unless you also follow UFC.

    But imagine if Bobby Davro commentated on the Rumble in the Jungle. It would lose it's sheen somewhat. :lol::rofl

    Just about anything Kellerman says. I mute the TV when he is doing a broadcast.

    Before, I never realized why people hate Max Kellerman.

    But since I got HBO lately and have been seeing more fights... yeah I tend to see why now.

    I bet on EVT winnings not actual fight winnings.

    The boxer who just happened to win the greatest EVT of the 21st century? Stop showing your ignorance. :deal :lol: :happy :good

    Duran quitting against SRL was a great boxing moment?

    The damned biased commentary on EPIX for the Vitali/Solis first round knock out, was a disgrace!
