Thoughts on tonight's HBO/ Showrime commentating

[Mars_ax]

Roy Jones was great tonight - a total value-add and the best I've ever heard him.

Max and Al Bernstein remain my two favorites.

I enjoyed Paulie on Showime. I figured he'd be good.

But why the fuck did Showtime replace Steve Farhood with that jackass from Strikeforce. That monster-truck style of announcing cheapens the experience big time. Offensive. Leave it on MMA please.

I just don't care anything about listening to Jones Jr., and part of that has to do with the way Lampley and Merchant are always hanging on his nuts, that's just the way I feel. I usually mute him, and i've gotten to where I mute that blithering idiot Manny Steward, who I used to like.

As for Showtime, Bernstein is rather generic, but I can listen to him. I like Barry Tompkins, I wish Showtime would use him along side Bernstein and delete the MMA guy, there's a chance Gus Johnson may return, but I sure hope not. As for Pauli, I didn't get a chance to hear him last night.
