Lets give it up to Showtime :appl:
For giving us great fights, surprises,controversy, and plenty of reasons why it's better than
HBO, despite HBO's popularity. Lets give the under-watched Showtime a hand.
With all this controversy, I think we forget how great of a fight it was that Showtime
showcased last weekend.
I can mention Lamon Brewster, Diego Corrales, Joe Calzaghe and the list goes on and on...
But I'm sure you can think of more memorable Showtime moments. ;D
They have had some great fights lately, but they need better commentators. THey have always had lame boring commentators. They should pay some money, and get Teddy Atlas or anyone from HBO

HBO has a far better line up for the rest of the year than Showetime
I like Bernstein okay. I just want them to fire Jimmy Lennon Jr. So unsatisfying compared to Buffer.Quote:

I like showtime. Usually the announcers don't stand out and you can focus on the fight. HBO I sometimes have to mute the tv they talk so much. Teddy Atlas is ok, but he always says the same thing. He focuses on the weight from their last fight, or other times in their career. What's up with Chico hosting, but not saying anything during the fight?
CC man, spoken like a smart man.Quote:

yo cool click GYRO wtf you been hiding at???? hows the blazing hot arizona weather treatin ya? well to respond to your topic. i agree showtime generally has the better fights, however the far worse production, programming and producing,and we all know anyone of us can do way better than the dooosh bags that comment on showtime. they always get the names of the fighters mixed up or completely wrong. even going back to the jt vs peter fight did u all see how in middle of the fight the time clock got all fuckkked up and started going crazy and showing all crazy numbers????? wtf u think u'd ever seen hbo's time clock all jacked up and going nuts like the predator's alarm clock on his wrist?????? thats some ghetto asssssss shiiiiiiiiiit yo.
Except for the "Teddy Atlas is ok" part I totally agree with that statement.Quote:

The production values are S*** compared to HBO's but the fights are what really count and there they've been just as good or better than HBO for the last couple years.
