barry michael still working on his chin strength

I am glad i payed the big bucks and got the bout at my place as i got to witness a great fight..

But **** me i wanted to jump through the screen and give the commentators(even Andy Raymond) a beatdown..

I loved Barry Michael's words at the end of each round..

''anyones round that one,but i will give it to Mundine''.

It was one sickening broadcast..Mundine had the ref,judges and definetly the commentators on his side lastnight..

 

It was disgusting mate...If you listened to the the fight on the radio with these joker commentators you would of thought mundine was fighting a fistless gimp...

 

Funniest thing was when my missus(who knows nothing about boxing) seriously thought Upham was one of those downy guys that won the chance to sit with the commentary team..Im being deadset to..

 

Upham is passionate. But his color commntary is grey.

Tessitore, Kellerman, Atlas.

Hey, we got Paulie...lol

 

By jesus I laughed.

 

He did the same thing in the Zappa-St Clair fight...Lenny was controlling Gairy but he wasnt landing jack...he had about a 5% connect rate that night, which one would expect because Gairy was outgunned and spent majority of the fight on the defensive.
But even though I was fairly pissed I could clearly see that Gairy was blocking, parrying, rolling with and just plain evading most of Lenny's shots...yet every time a punch hit an arm or a glove you would hear Michael making some sort of geriatric orgasm noises...and it was annoying and frankly inept commentating.

I confirmed it when I watched the fight sober two days later...he is a legend, he knows something about boxing but get him off...Id prefer Briggsy or Hussy anyday.

 

One thing with Barry he was a former great of Australia and i think after sacking Briggs the Mundines have put a rocket up there ass but Paul Upham i think hasnt had a fight and trys to make it sound like he knows what he is talking about and Andy Raymonds job is a comentator and gets all views from the other guys and does a good job.
