I've never been able to tolerate Leonard even back when he did Roy Jones job back in the late 70's early 80's for HBO. Kenny use to be okay for ESPN but he seems like he's fallen off a cliff. Mora I can't freaking stand, the dude never shuts up, repeats himself a ton, and has been bias towards certain fighters. Oddly enough I can tolerate the bias as that's somewhat normal nowadays, but the other 2 things no dice. Mora above all needs to go imo.
Lamprey was actually one of the best, so many memorable quotes from him, and they’re memorable because of the timing and emotion from him. “It happened! It happened!” So many fights id prefer the HBO copy because of the lampley/merchant duo.
Leonard was a better and more observant commentator in the 80s for HBO. He seems disinterested now. Replace him with George Foreman(if you want unintentional comedy) Or with RJJ (for actual knowledge) Or even better Emanuel steward ....****.... Once again reminded of how big of a hit boxing took inseveral areas when he died
Unintentionally hilarious. I love Foreman "Trinidad is intimidated by how wide Oscars shoulders are" "Every drop of blood counts" "Oooooooh"(Everytime someone lands a bodyshot) "If you're tall stay tall"(every fight) "Don't punch with a puncher"(every fight) "Let's remember, all .... Needs to get back in the fight is one good shot"(every mismatch)
Love SRL — but he is absolutely garbage/useless as a commentator. You would think that he could provide incredible in-fight analysis, but it's not the case. He's not even effective as a color commentator.
"color commentator." Uhh ,what do you mean , I'm a bit thicker than usual today so excuse me please...?
A color commentator or expert commentator is a sports commentator who assists the main commentator, often by filling in any time when play is not in progress.
I would of thought Ian Darke might have got a call just to take him away from the cluster**** that is the Warren BT Sport contract.
Foreman: "They both look big for middleweights!" Merchant: "They're light-heavyweights, George" Foreman: "light-heavyweights". That's my all time favorite by Georgie.
This is great. Don't forget his real time medical diagnoses. "He's broke his legs!!" "They are gonna carry this man out in a pine box."
