    I think commentating should be more structured, they should have responsibilities. There are always three commentator's to a panel, so why not assign one a fighter and have him purposely making that fighter look as good as they possibly can, and assign the other fighter to another commentator for him to do the same? This would ensure opposing opinions and an avalanche opinion is not created against a fighter, and if a commentator "misses" on obvious opportunities to make his fighter look good they can be easily identified as biased to face repercussions. Feel free to add.

    Some fighters are awfull commentators...

    surprisingly you can know how to box but not know how to break it down.

    Fighters always seem to have some kind of bias imo, either style or color of skin. That's the main problem I see with them.

    haha didnt notice that i have been talking a lot of ring lately, it is a good idea though especialy for pbc , easy to set up too, get someone like Paulie for the techical fighters and then... not sure whose any good that favours the pucnhers?
    I was actualy thinking it in the Bika fight him and virgil were just too into the technical side of things.

    I think we'd be surprised with this setup it would take away the "shame" of a person wanting to say anything they could favorable about a style they favor anyway since that would be their purpose. We could maybe get Hagler or someone and if people maybe thought he wasn't a great commentator before it would totally change things if he felt he didn't have to hold back on wanting to praise a puncher and what they were doing, you never know, it would be totally different I think.

    So like in WWE? You have the heel commentator and the face commentator and the play by play commentator.

    This is an awful idea.
