CC. Drives me crazy just repeating the same shit over and over again.
Atlas never shuts up, never. He'll pick one theme for the night, say he thinks a fighter should be fighting on the outside because of his reach, and just never shuts the fuck up about it.
I don't doubt his knowledge, just get tired of hearing him talk about the same things round after round, fight after fight.

Speaking of commentators who say the same thing over and over again...
While I do like Steward, I do get a kick out of trying to keep track of how many times he says the words "amateur background" during the course of a fight. I think he averages about 50 amateur background mentions per fight.

Kellerman good, but he's not great on camera and his delivery is choppy. Lewis is getting better, but he's still not good. Roy Jones is pretty damn good. When he isn't busy promoting himself or being egotistical, he's on point.
As someone mentioned, Showtime has the best. Bernstein is the man.
Ball Washer ! ;D
Good Post ! :coolclick: #42 .. yeah Showtimes Al Bernstein is one of my favorites . I like Ferdie back in the day also.. Bobby Czyz was good and insightful .
I can't take credit for coming up with "ball washer." All credit to WEEI sports radio here in Beantown. At least twice per fight, I find myself thinking, damn Lampley, his balls are clean enough! Do you really need to keep washing them?
Re: who you rekon is the best HBO commentator??
I LIKE LARRY MERCHANT AND JIM LAMPLEY
