    Richie Woodhall - haha. Decent commentator actually, but he always talks about "mid to long range"

    Jim Watt manages to say "Cagey" multiple times when covering fights usually, in a very strong Scottish accent. I now embrace this

    Macklin's obsession with Daniyar Yeleussinov's lack of power. Not the first fighter who isn't a power puncher.

    He should be forced to rewatch his old fights until he gets it right.

    You beat me to Jim Watt but my dislike for his commentary just increased over time.

    I only always heard him talk about pun-cheese, when talking trough a fight. Maybe he had some sponsorship deal, that made him mention the product.

    Andre Ward makes my ears hurt whenever he opens his mouth. Usually its some biased nonsense while he craps on the other guy.

    "David Price, where o where from here?"
    "double up the jab, triple up the jab"
    "it could be all OVER"
    "couldn't split them, it's a 10-10 even round for me"
    "That's exactly what we wanted to see"
    "wait till he goes through the gears"

    From personal experience, I can say that this is rarely true(at least for me). When I get hit hard, I usually try and focus 100% on defense for the next few moments.
    Way too often do I sake my head or nod during sparring; but I do it whenever someone gets me with a good shot, something I either didn't see coming or something they set up really well.
