Out of a one hour show you get to see one 5 round fight. A typical example of a Thunderbox main event would be Frankie Swindell vs. Samson P’ouha. About the most quality match up I have ever seen on Thunderbox was Tim Witherspoon vs. David Bostice and that ended in a one round blow out when Bostice tasted the canvas three times. What makes Thunderbox even worse is that every fighter has a bimbo who is his manager in the really weak Thunderbox storyline. The bimbos/managers spend most of their time trash talking the other managers even when the actual fight is going on. Thunderbox is the type of boxing show you need to watch with your finger set on the mute button because the commentary is that bad. People love to bash the commentators at HBO, Showtime and ESPN but until you have sat through one episode of Thunderbox you don’t know what really bad commentary is.
