Does Anybody Actually Mute the Commentary??

[Manos de Piedra]

Only when re-watching a fight to get a fair score card.
Not when it's live.

I mute the Polish commentary on streams cause it puts me to sleep and the German commentary because I expect goose stepping at any moment. I grow tired of Merchant and Lamply and usually turn them off or rather off and on. Sheridan last night was unbearable. I don't mind the Quebec cards or the Spanish cards be it Mexican, Colombian, Argentina etc and mute it about 50% of the time. I do listen to the Brits commentators a lot and the atmosphere is always great.

Me too,usually only when theres a controversy.

The only thing that will ever make me turn off the volume is Vevuzelas, or however you spell the name of those gay little horns that those annoying fruitcakes use.

I couldn't watch Khan-Judah because of them. Drove me absolutely NUTS.

I didn't listen to the commentary because I was at a bar and there was music blaring. I quite enjoyed not listening to the commentary because Lampley can be hystrionic, Merchant is a big Negative Nancy, and whoever the 3rd guy is (Manny, Roy, Tarver, Max, whoever) usually has the idea that their way is the best way so they have an angle there as well.

I like Bernstein, I like Tessitore, and on occasion Teddy Atlas is fun to listen to but he's got his own agenda as well.

The fight was very exciting sans commentary, I had it very close and you could tell both guys gave 100% and it was a solid style match up (as I had predicted). I'm hoping the people that doubted Cotto now come around and give him some respect for his efforts.

I mute commentary all the time, I prefer silence much of the time, rather than listening to idiotic blither. It depends on who fighting, and which announcers are calling the fights, some I can tolerate, and others just ruin the broadcast, but yeah, the mute button on my TV is my best friend.

I do mute the commentary quite a bit, too. Half the time when I'm watching the fight live.

But then again, I also mute the TV whenever I have a chance. I think silence is something people should come to appreciate more.
