    Dude doesn't even know it probably but he copies the mannerisms of Atlas, and he's just cringy af. I can't stand listening to this guy.

    I agree and think he should work less shows.
    I liked "live from Argentina"

    Hilarious that he had no clue he was in Australia lol..

    I know what you mean there was a moment last night, while watching the Ito fight, when he sounded just like Atlas. But I've been annoyed at one point or another by ALL announcers, don't care who they are, especially when they try to convince me, or any other viewer, that I'm watching a fight, I'm not actually watching.

    I tend to like Bradley but I think Ward is better. I also think that Virgil Hunter does pretty well when calling fights on PBC

    Oh he sucks. I feel like all he contributes is arguing with Bradley just to argue. I know the guys on Boxing Rants podcast hate that guy.

    In all honesty I kind of hate the loaded box that ESPN does. I like putting on a fight and hearing 1 or 2 guys. Its a relief putting on an old fight and hearing just Dumphy (spelling) or Colonel Bob. I feel like they have too many people talking and some just not really contributing. Do 4 guys really need to explain 2 guys punching each other. 4 guys ringside 2 in the booth and a ringside reporter? I remember Cosell walking around the ring to interview people during the fight

    Blame Ruslan and Pac for Tim's geographical confusion.

    He tries to overtalk everyone. Ward gives much better analysis but can barley get a word in with Bradley.

    The absolute WORST announcer is Ray Leonard. You would think that being a Top 10 ATG and an eloquent and well spoken individual would be able to provide incredible fight analysis, but nope, he's pretty useless. Paulie is the best.

    Leonard used to be ok if you look at how he called fights in the late 80s for HBO.

    I just don't think he really cares anymore

    Yes I think Ward is superior calling fights

    The last ESPN broadcast I saw it looked like Bradley realized that Ward was giving better assessments Maybe he's starting to talk over Ward because he's worried that ward might overtake him if they decide to just have one former fighter call fights

    Bradley imo is trying hard to be like his friend atlas but is not up to the task he needs to be himself.
