Thanks, that's helpful. My Spanish is OK for a gringo and I can follow along somewhat, but I didn't know a few of the those words. "Peso Gallo" cracks me up. Is Bantam an old English word for "rooster/cock"? I think we should start calling bantamweights "cockweights."

And I suppose it would be inappropriate to refer to strawweights as "pajeros"

How would a commentator say "Holy Shit!! He just took a big fucking bite out of his ear!!" in Spanish?

And what about the little bumfuck move Calzaghe pulled on Hopkins?

Just in case these things happen again during a Spanish broadcast.

This is quite a nice, informative thread.

In the Filipino language, meshed are a lot of Spanish and Latin words, undetected, without some form of structured instruction!

Nice to enable us to pick-up on it a bit easier, thanks, TS!

Something like, "Dios mio!!! Puta madre, El se mordi de la oreja un pedazo grande!"

Feel free to correct me, native speakers. I'm pretty sure a commentator wouldn't say puta madre, but that's the closest translation that comes to mind with my gringo Spanish.
