Everybody involved in boxing broadcasting is doing it... HBO etc are a bit moer subtle about it but come on... if he says Jennings is going to get his head kicked in with in 2 rounds what do you think the veiwing figures would be like
Building Jennings up is perfectly understandable of course, but making Cotto out to be a lesser entity than he is was entirely unnecessary any way you slice it imo. He would have been much better served to just make it out to be the huge ask it was, obviously telling Jennings he wasn't going in against godzilla wasn't going to boost his confidence or make anyone more inclined to tune in, Jennings seemed sensible enough to realize that he was in deep, no reason Bunce had to imply otherwise.
