    Tarver is currently my favorite fight commentator-good insights without the bias of the HBO crew.

    How bias will gus johnson be when tarver fights kayode? It will be sickening to listen to. Might have to put the tv on mute.

    Tarver was spot on last night. He also seemed to be having a great time watching them go at it.

    Love me some Tarver and Gus. Not sure how ppl dislike Gus he can make a boring fight sound like the fight of the year. Shows Championship crew is the best IMO over Hbo. Still like Lampley and Merchant is hilarious at times but he is getting way too old.

    I prefer Jones but Tarver was great to listen to last night, great point in addition to others.

    Tarver was very good. straight on with Lopez's flaws. really great fight. Think Juanma is going to have a short shelf life.

    I actually couldn't stand any of the anouncers last night. They kept whinny about how JuanMa looked tentative and did not look like the same fighter. Like they were writing his obituary in round one and kept writting it for the rest of the fight. When it was clear as **** that he was just trying to box a smart fight. Even when a really good fight broke out all they could talk about was how Salido was out landing him. Thanks, Stevie wonder could see that. I think they had the chance to add to one of the best and ballsiest fight I've seen in a long time and instead they chose to focus on a bunch of negative.

    I give them poor style marks for that.

    I agree with this and I think his point about JuanMa standing tall and instead of getting compact was a good point. Past that I think the commentating crew got a free trip to PR and added nothing to what was a very very good fight.
