    Why can't Main Event switch its broadcast from The Top Rank Broadcast to the HBO one??

    Top Rank's commentators are nowhere near the calibre of HBO's crew of lampley, merchant, kellerman , steward, and lederman..

    What do you guys think?

    Obviously, HBO is the number 1 choice for everybody..

    I just wish they can show us the better broadcast instead..

    We always miss out on the post fight interviews as well, and get the cheap left over speeches..

    Why ? Because boxing fans in Australia are treated like garbage so we get a garbage coverage. I would love to be hearing the HBO crew like yourself. I am sick to death of hearing Col Bob Sheridan.

    Larry Merchant is a god, Col Bob Sheridan is a straight up stooge. HBO is so much better, i think its why i prefer to download the fights rather than watch them live.

    Sheridan sucks and although any commentry is biased HBO is more polished than most.

    Kellerman is their weak link.Apparently Kellerman didn't try to box because his Mummy told him he wasn't allowed and he actually said that in an Interview.lol

    What a turd!

    I dont mind The Kernel ...very knowledgeable , can be a little bit annoying when he is barracking for a favoured fighter of his , but kernel does enjoy watching the Aussies and i spoke to him when he was out at Penrith for Briggs v Ruiz and was very knowledgable on all the Aussies and talked up Briggsy and Greeny .and Kostya
