i watched the fights tonight with commentary by "the colonel" bob sheridan and raul marquez. the colonel is a fucking jackass that seems to have subsisted off the ball sweat of don king... but paired with raul marquez he was bearable and the broadcast was bearable to good. they were able to recognize and acknowledge blows traded and analyzed the fight in a somewhat relevant manner. it was a welcome change.

(bob on his own is terrible.)
Bit harsh on the colonel there, but i know what you mean. He is a bit bombastic, but that's his style. He is one of the best commentators at the finish of a fight out there, he really goes to town. Marquez does well and is insightful most times. I don't mind them.
