Cableaddict Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Re: Your favourite boxing commentators? Paulie. Hands down, the best technical analyst. Teddy Atlas - Yeah, I know. But he's smart, and he actually speaks his mind / tells the truth, as opposed to 99% of commentators who just say what they're told to, and shamelessly hype the house fighter.

The_budweiser Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Re: Your favourite boxing commentators? I like Paulie he's one of my favs. I enjoy Steve Collins as he doesn't kiss ass. I used to like Buncey but since he's joined Boxnation he has became a yes man and doesn't ask enough difficult questions in his interviews. I like Al Bernstein when he's talking in USA but on UK TV he is terrible, he knows nothing about the UK boxers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Re: Your favourite boxing commentators? Who are they? --- Russians, they don't say much, keep their voices low and I can't understand a thing of what they say. Take the rest and dump the sorry lot in Floydy's new mansion so the broadcasters could turn up the fight sounds for the viewers to improve their product 100% and save money to boot.

BoztheMadman Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Re: Your favourite boxing commentators? I liked Larry Merchant, but now he's no longer on a major network. Kellerman, tho he can go on my nerves, is often objective and has some knowledge. Same as Bernstein. But Larry was the best, he was such a colourful character and didn't sweet talk with noone.

He's as much a company shill now as Jim Lampley. Listening to these guys is like watching FOX news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athough probably not a fault of his own, I could make a cuppa tea quicker than Merchant can complete his sentences. But I do like that he is his own man and puts fighters under pressure in his interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Female Money Mayweather Fan Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Re: Your favourite boxing commentators? For me here in the UK it use to be Darke and Glem McCrory.........although I do like Paulie from the states, he talks a lot of sense and makes it interesting to listen to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamasadlittleboy Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Re: Your favourite boxing commentators? Mike Costello is THE BEST in the UK bar none, sadly he's stuck on radio. I love Steve Holdsworth but that's because of his unprofessionalism... Thai and Japanese guys get so excited they add to a fight, JCC was great in the Takayama/Rodriguez Jr fight. I can't stand Nathanielez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshDevilRob Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Re: Your favourite boxing commentators? I enjoy listening to Colonel Bob and good when he's paired with Larry Merchant. Al Bernstein and Steve Farhood are decent. Not really fussed on any of the British ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Froch Jr Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Re: Your favourite boxing commentators? Ian Darke all time favourite. I wonder what Barry Davies would have been like as a boxing commentator "ooh I say, what a lovely left hand" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
