What is your opinion of Bob Sheridan?

He makes the fights more exciting, even the slow boring ones.
I dont really pay attention to what he says, just kind of hear him in the background screaming.

 

anyone who clearly loves the sport like he does is okay in my book.

His call of the action is at times over the top. But, overall, i have no issues listening to him. He's not one to break down a fight, technically. But that's not the role of a blow by blow guy. I may be wrong, but it seems like sometimes he works solo. Not sure.

he did a great job on the ali-foreman fight but im not a big fan.hes an ok commentator though

 

I do remember him calling for Trinidad to low blow Winky throughout their fight, but besides that fight I think he's been a great commentator.

He loves the sport and travels all over the world to commentate. He's been doing it for decades so he obviously knows alot about the sport. And he shows excitement in every fight he does. What's not to love?

 

I think he great even though he must be blind sometimes + i've got him on tape working solo on the Chavez/Taylor 1 fight from 1990, he's calling every round for taylor but he's a real genuine old school radio jorno that gets you right in there:good

 

He has Lennox Lewis as the greatest HW of all time...


So is cool in my books

 

He's good, but he's owned by the sanctioning organizations and he blatantly sucks up to them and defends them at every opportunity, whether anyone's attacking them or not. He's Jose Suleiman's errand boy.

 

He makes me laugh and the more boring fights, more entertaining.

 

Good point, he is also a Don King nutswinger.

 

Check out the recent FOTY candidate Calderon v Segurra for the Colonel at his absolute best. He and Benny Ricardo make a great team and they certainly had me on my feet in my living room when I was watching that classic! A great call of a great fight!

 

This, and he can make a boring fight entertaining with his enthusiastic commentary. Oh, and he also mixes up names from time to time, like "Steve Arreola".

 

Great voice and delivery for broadcasting. He speaks fairly well to boot. Every other phrase is not "ya know" "ya know what I'm sayin".

 

I think Bob Sheridan The Colonel is a fantastic announcer. He always lends such excitement and energy to the fights. He makes good technical observations and describes the action in an exciting manner.
