Anyone watch the BoxNation broadcast of the Cotto-May fight?

    I did, because it was the first one I could find. Who are these jokers? Their commentary on the fight was astoundingly bad. They made it sound like Cotto was getting his ass beaten every round. Whenever he did land anything or win a round they'd say something about how "Mayweather's letting him land punches." "Mayweather took that round off." "Mayweather's toying with him."

    I want to write them a letter and let them know how ****ing stupid they are, because they seem to be unaware at present.

    Agreed.

    It was dick-riding at it's finest.

    At one point, I believe one of them literally called Floyd the greatest fighter that ever lived.

    Pretty funny when Floyd had to have blood swabbed from his nose. The announcers seemed genuinely perplexed as to how it happened.

    I heard. I watched on HBO and for once it wasn't that bad, save for Lampley and his cheer-leading self.

    Nobody has had anything good to say about Sheridan and the BoxNation crew after that fight. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.

    I watched it drunk last night and I had to turn it off. I felt like ****ing up my laptop.

    They were totally wanking over Floyd.

    I hope somebody gets fired. Professional commentators shouldn't be allowed to be that bad. It was plainly disrespectful to Miguel Cotto.

    They're terrible thats one of the reasons why I watch the HBO broadcasts instead...saying that Cotto did only win a couple of rounds so they're kinda justified in hanging off Floyds sack

    Cotto was doing far better than they made out. I only remember them conceding Cotto a single round, and even that was done grudgingly. Never gave him props for landing his job or for his body work. Never. Nothing. It was incredible. I couldn't understand it.

    Even Leonard Ellerbe said it was a bit much.
