Can't believe no one has mentioned Max Kellerman, that man is the single biggest c*ckhead I've ever had the displeasure of hearing, the way he talks offends my ear holes...and the way he looks makes me want to gouge my eyes out and stamp on them....

Joe Cortez, never really liked him... and the Soto fight against, oh I cant remember..but the DQ and the amount of time he took to do it, and then saying after the fight he had no doubt in his mind that it was a DQ?! Then dont take 10 minutes deciding you ... oh I dunno...prunefaced moron? yeah, that'll do

I think this thread has changed me, I feel a new found hate for people
Agreed about the commentators, but I LOVE hearing the Sky team call a fight when there isn't a British fighter involved.
Why? They don't know jack shit about boxing. Try and get a copy of Jacobs vs. Pirog. I said to my friends who were watching that with me that I feared for Jacobs and felt he was going to get KO'ed. They banged on about how Jacobs was 'the man' and didn't seem to know who Pirog was. I think they thought his record was as padded as Dimitriy Salita's! I wish we had HBO in the UK. I'd take Jim Lampley over the likes of Dave Clark and Adam Smith any day of the week.

Also with Sky - Fucking Jim Watt. He scores a foreign fight wrong...hears how Lederman has it for HBO, and then tries to even out his scorecard so it looks like he knows what he's talking about. The best thing Sky have done is employ Barry McGuigan. Nobody tells is like Barry!
