I always assumed that most of the people on in this forum competed at some level...just as important as competing is being a student of the game and being able to break down a fight...I still have some active amature and pro friends that are not very good at breaking down a fight....or at least picking the right opponents and their records show it....

I agree with the poster that is frustrated with most announcers that have never had a boxing lesson let alone been in the ring with anyone hitting back...I often wonder how LL, Manny, George or Roy kept from telling Merchant and Lampley to Shut the eff up!

I'm not sure how much in the ring experience Al Bernstein has but he seems to do a pretty good job...imo
