Sergio would Muller him. Donaire - Vasquez was a good fight. Chavez Jr - Rubio was beyond terrible. The coverage was amateurish and poor. I feel sorry for you guys in the states the TV companies over there seem to get away with a production that would struggle to make the grade on a local network over here.
Not that i'm defending HBO, but come on Beanz, you've got some fucking clowns calling fights in the UK, I hardly see the boxing "productions" there being any better than what HBO, Showtime, or ESPN offer up.
Maybe I am being a little harsh. Sure we have some poor commentators, but the tv production quality seems higher. Part of the problem is boxnation, as a fight fan I subscribe, but for UK fight fans the quality is not as high as other channels. No HD, poor anchor work, no boxer or ex boxer ringside or in the studio. I know the Rubio- Chavez Jr card had an ex boxer and the colonel st ringside but for me they kinda sucked. Horses for courses, and one mans sugar us another mans salt but I always feel kinda Sold short by US tv coverage of big fights.
you must have seen the TOP RANK coverage for the fight cause HBO called it mainstream, they were biased as hell but yet so are some of the Brit commentators, most notable in Calzaghe, Hatton, Haye, and Froch fights, IMO guys like Al Bernstein are top notch
