    He seemed to be pretty good. Mixed well with Bernstein. Solid grasp of how to call a fight and mix in to the Showtime broadcast. What is the guy's name?

    Don't care much for Gus Johnson's sensationalism when he's calling a game. However, he wasn't nearly as intolerable last night, as I thought he'd be.

    Rather have Steve Albert tho.

    Johnson is the best commenator in sports and is very unbiased watch him call Kimbo vs James Thompson although Kimbo was the Elite XC/CBS boytoy Gus was extremly pissed about what happened that night. Give Gus time and he will be the best play by play guy in Boxing although thats not saying much.

    Unbiased? Hardly. Listen to his call of the Kansas - Davidson Elite Eight game last year.
