    Monster truck style That is as accurate and literal as it gets. That barking human cartoon delivery, a huckster. All part of them inbreeding the boxing and Strike force coverage....any chance of seeing a boxing guy on a Strike force show

    Saw Pauile on FNF two weeks ago and again last night he was top notch. He does seem to just like calling fights and has a good eye. Does not preference everything with his own dealings. Bernstein is solid as is Kellerman who has calmed down ALOT from his early ESPN day. Jones is ok but have never really liked him on the mic but liked his perspective on Chavez and Martinez.

    I am trying to develop an auto default to tune out Lampley these days. Never liked him at all and I think he's a close second to the aforementioned Moster truck guy.

    More often then not, I mute the sound whenever the fights start, I really don't need anyone telling me what i'm seeing. And lately the judges have been horrible at scoring fights, I mean Bradley really beat Pacquiao? Come on, something is seriously wrong with that shit.

    I'm as challenged with technology as they come but I'd pay top dollar to find a way to mute the announce team and keep the crowd and ringside audio. It makes it a whole new experience, ebbs and flows.

    I thought Malignaggi was great. On par with Jones, who is my favourite boxer-turned-commentator of all time.

    There'll be a box of chips that splits your sound up into component parts and lets you listen to the bits you want. Do they still have Radio Shacks in America?
