Malignaggi and Bernstein

I miss Reg Gutteridge. Son of one of the legendary Gutteridge twin trainers and grandson of one of the last great English bare knuckle fighters. Steeped in the sport from childhood working corners and still worked his way up through Fleet Street learning his literary chops before picking up a mic.

Yes, I remember Leonard. Bobby Czyz was pretty good too.
When I heard Paulie was going to be on the broadcast team, I expected everything except what happened, the guy has a real gift. Effortless delivery with a boxers knowledge of what's happening inside the ring.
The way Paulie does a running critique on what the fighters are doing right and wrong, I wonder if he has ever thought of training? Probably not, he has his retirement job nailed down now.

Don't forget Sean O'Grady....he was a great commentator as well.

I liked O'Grady, occasionally he would talk about and demonstrate the different punches. It was basic stuff but still interesting.
The last time I saw him, he was calling call some amateur bouts.
