    Way too biased during the McGregor fight. And that whole episode where he was like, "...He is turning his back!!!!!" Paulie couldn't even get a word in. The only person that made sense during that entire night was Paulie.

    Thoughts?

    He was terrible in that fight. Maybe he needs better glasses. He was a clearly biased McGregor fan in that fight. It was completely one sided commentary. Totally ridiculous and an insult to anyone with any eyesight.

    That Mauro Renallo guy is terrible, he was colossally annoying when he did MMA as well. I heard he also did work with WWE but got hazed so bad he quit.

    He is a Canadian with a photographic memory evidently. Nothing against either of those things but I never got his announcing gimmick it is so nauseating and contrived.

    Oh come on man! Mauro can be annoying but has his moments... Although personally I've always preferred Michael Schiavello.

    Yeah JBL bullied the hell out of him LOL. He ignored the cardinal rule by not standing up to him. JBL in particular wasn't very tough if you actually stood up, Matt Striker stood his ground and after that was left alone... Pretty sure some non-wrestler actually knocked him silly one time as well.

    Mauro is very good. Whether it's boxing, MMA or pro wrestling his extremely good. Don't watch WWE but he used to do New Japan Pro wrestling commentary and was amazing!!!

    Him and Bernstien was drinking out of Macgregor's jock cup like it had the waters of life in it. Paulie trying to call the fight in a responsible manner and they were swooning like two teenage girls at their idols concert.

    Honestly tell me that "Yo, yo, yo and away we go" catch phrase of his did not make you want to bash him in the head with a cinder block?

    I do not like that Shiavallo weirdo either, perhaps it's just me but they both set off my cringe meter. Believe it or not i actually think Gus Johnson is much than both of them.

    He is by far the worst announcer on TV boxing. Dude shouts all the time, and really has
    no idea about boxing techniques. Interrupts Bernstein and Paulie constantly with grunts,
    screams and girlie sounds. I don't watch Showtime because of him, haven't in a long time.

    I can see why you'd say that... But then again I grew up watching both.. So my perception is a bit skewed lol.
