Monster truck style announcing from the Showtime guy is spot on, and does feel like it cheapens the experience. I didn't see the PPV card so I can't comment on that but from what I'm reading here it seems Roy has improved as a commentator.

The big surprise to me was Paulie, I don't remember him once trying to inject his own boxing career into the broadcast. You can tell he loves watching boxing, he was giving genuine props to fighters without seeming to favor a type of style, made jokes when appropriate and gave decent insight about what he was seeing. He also seemed to have a good grasp of when to talk and when to let others say their share, as someone else already said he could probably work with any broadcast team and fit in, hopefully we will see him in this role more often.
