    Sometimes I agree with some of the other posters that some commentators need to shut up because I can see what's happening, on the other hand, they can also add some charisma. It's easy to think it would be better totally quiet, but if it were, you might not like that either.
    Some announcers can add to the excitement.

    On a slightly off topic, but a point I wanted to make, I hated it when it was a split decision and they announced the first two scores for the winning fighter. I always thought that it killed the suspense when a decision was read. Obviously once you know the first two scores are in favor of one guy, the last judge scoring becomes a moot point. Plus you don't even get to really hear it because it was drowned out by all the cheers. Never understood why they announced like that. Of course it's not like that anymore.

    I feel that way too. Its like a basket with 2 seconds to go with your team down by five or more.
