    Can anyone give me an example of a commentary team who are not biased! I have witnessed awful bias on both Show Time, HBO and Sky Sports. Boxnation also. Can anyone tell me where there is a tv network who genuinely are neutral in their commentating!

    I remember Ruslan beating Bradley across the ring and RJJ saying "they're both hurt, they're both hurt badly". Even though it was obvious only Timmy was hurt. Horrible.

    Golden Boy hype jobs.

    Paulie's OK but when he was in the ring, the cheering on of Broner was an absolute disgrace as they tried to con blinkered fan boys into believing Broner was performing well :lol:

    No- Paulie has been in the squared circle with him and sees him for what he is:

    a lot shitter than Amir Khan and Ricky Hatton

    Watch fights with the sound off and decide for yourself.
    Then you have to deal with your own bias though.
    Are you ready to be alone with your own thoughts?:rofl

    No one is as bad as Jim Lampley. LOVES white and europeans. Hates anyone with dark skin.

    No evidence of that. Jim Lampley is never racially biased.

    But Max Kellerman hates good white/European boxers and always discredits them (Klitschkos, Calzaghe, Adamek, Kovalev, Hatton, Pavlik when he was doing well, etc).

    HBO, mainly Lampley, are the worst. They get worse and worse every year.
