    So why haven't you posted any examples? Or even mentioned one example?

    His sucking off Floyd & many others was an understatement, he always acted like such an expert in interviews too, seemed to treat boxing as a casual side gig.

    Speaking off i really believe if Ortiz had pulled that trick shot then the fight may most likely have been ruled a DQ, in fact i couldn't really see them awarding Ortiz a win over that & with all the boxing politics & power Mayweather & his associates carried i really doubt it.

    Most of Australia's boxing & even NBL commentators are rubbish, embarrassing listening to them dumb you down with their extreme home bias, add Tennis to that as well.

    Exactly !! Do you think that's fair that there's one law for Floyd, the Vegas cash cow, & another for everyone else ?? Floyd cowardly cold cocked a defenceless opponent & yet was awarded a KO victory

    And his favoritism towards Pernell Whitaker.

    I admit I do it too when it comes down to Wilfredo Gomez.

    But I don't do it as blatantly as Kellerman did it. He had Whitaker in the heights of Sugar Ray Robinson and the likes.

    It can get annoying.

    Floyd was a great one but it's hard for me to place him in the top 15 (sometimes I do and sometimes I dont depending on how my-imaginative-period is lol) because of fights like the first Maidana and the two Castillo bouts.

    I think Castillo was robbed both times.

    De La Hoya-Sturm was pretty bad. Not enough credit was being given to Sturm for landing clean jabs and straight right hands

    I've found that the british broadcasts have no issue openly cheerleading the house fighter. They make the worst attempt at neutrality; lots of "that's better from [house fighter]! he nicked that round for me!"

    Max Kellerman was good when young and then god awful when he rose to prominence in the sports world. Going on about how Canelo is winning "the story of the fight" against Golovkin, just shut the **** up. I don't think he even commentates anymore.

    Mark Kreigel is a know nothing nepotism baby who is always inserting useless backstory in the middle of the action. One of the absolute worst additions to a broadcast I've ever had to hear. If his dumb ****ing voice comes on I will mute until he's done droning on about some fighters uncle who has cancer or some ****.

    Agree with that one, his scoring is bizarre.
