Gus Johnson To Call Fights For Showtime

Replacing Steve Albert, thoughts? For those that don't know, Gus Johnson is a college basketball announcer in the states and imo is the best college basketball announcer there is. He called fights for EliteXC on XBS too I think boxing fans will like him.

Was never huge on Albert but Johnson-Bernstein will be good.

Just keep Farhood out of the mix. I'd rather listen to someone scraping their fingernails over a blackboard than his whine!

IMO Farhood is pretty insightful.

Yes, he is a legend in his own mind.

I like Bernstein the best...

I never got "boxing" fan from Albert if I'm honest...

As for Gus, guess we'll just have to wait and see.
