    According to Fightnews, Steve Albert won't be returning this year and will be replaced by Gus Johnson. :patsch

    Say it aint so. Next to Lampley, Albert is in my opinion, the best play by play man currently in the business. Dude has a good voice and knows how to call a fight. He'll be missed.

    Gus Johnson is a joke. Albert was not much better he was a nuthugger.

    For sure Showtime could have found someone better than Gus Johnson?

    Albert is one of the best IMO. Better than Lampley. This sucks if it's true.

    Gus Johnson is the best announcer in the sport his passion can not be rivaled he calls every fight or game like its his last.

    I don't have Showtime and it has been a long time since I seen that one commentator who gets in fighter's faces with stupid or real questions. Can anyone help me with his name? It haliriuos how he ask questions and unbelievable how no fighters just ***** slap him.

    This is bad news. I really like him & Berstein. Farhood is good, too. Plus, he cracks me up for some reason.

    :yep

    Just when I think boxing couldn't get any worse, they can one of the best announcers in the game. I think this is an outrage. Last year it was Merchant. This year its Albert. Damn all the other announcers today I can't stand except for Tessitore, and Bernstein
