you guys thought the HBO crew was bad w/ the Cotto-Margarito coverage. Watch this clip of the first 2 rds of the Whitaker-Chavez fight & tell me what you think of the commentary. This content is protected
The Darchinyan-Pacheco commentary was a classic. They spent the first 6 rounds sucking Pacheco's dick for doing nothing and completely ignored the work Vic was doing. It shits me sometimes when commentators talk about past fights and random **** instead of just calling the action. Then as soon as the fight was stopped because of the fireworks one of the commentators jumped on Vic's corner saying they got the fight stopped to try to buy their fighter time. He said it in a sort of angry tone but with not a shread of evidence to back his statement up. When it became clear that the judges called halt to it, you hardly heard a peep out of that bloke till the end.
As for the Sweet Pea-Chavez fight. Thats just awful. "Maybe the first real clean shot he has hit him with" this is midway through the 2nd round after Pea lands a left..even though he had basically been scoring clean from the first 30 secs of the first.
