Has there ever been a worse commentary job than

[OumaFan]

Its funny Hopkins fans always ripped Lampley and Merchant for being biased against Hopkins in the Taylor fights especially (and they were but nothing like this) but they were almost cheerleading for Hopkins in the Tito fight. Maybe partially in response to George's craziness, partially in response to Hopkins performance and in Lampley's case I think almost solely because he was still in despair about the ODLH-Tito fight

I've never used a foreman grill. I know somebody that used to live next door to George in the pre-grill days.

In the Pacquiao-Ledwaba fight, George was so pro-Ledwaba it was actually kind of funny. As each round progressed, Pacquiao just kept blasting Ledwaba worse and worse and George just kept on complimenting and basically kept talking about how Ledwaba would come back. And to hear him attempt to say "Pacquiao" was actually funny too.

He was totally biased through the first 6 rounds.

Merchant put him in his place around the 7th.

foremans an incredibly biased pundit

remember the 2 griffin-toney fights particularly the 1st one which was right down the middle and yet foreman was claiming toney had it by a landslide.....montell went on to take the win!!

I think we all know what the worst commentary was in any fight...

Duran vs Moore

They had this lady.. who apparently knew nothing about boxing, whatsoever. She was just rambling. You could just her long pauses after she said something, like the regular commentators were covering their mics telling her to shut up.

She said, "I think Duran is going to wear out from punching him so much!" Then she says, "No Duran isn't going to wear out he can just keep throwing forever!" She was squawking all sorts of random crap. I really like that fight, but I have to watch it with the volume down and just imagine the sounds Davey gets hit with to the body.

I swear this lady worked in a New Jersey nail salon or something.

You've obviously never heard Jim McDonald commentate. He wasn't biased but he was indescribably bad. He hasn't done it for a few years now thankfully.

Steve Holdsworth is the best commentator I've ever heard IN MY ENTIRE LIFE !!!

This guy is PRICELESS!

Give it a listen, fellas, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.


It's from the Ruslan Chagaev/Sedreck Fields fight:

Holdsworth was once a boxer himself, so at least he's not one of those know-nothing, know-it-alls who never had a glove on in his life.
He's pretty harsh though...and hilarious.

Imagine this guy calling the fights on HBO with drunken old Larry Merchant.

That'd be GOLD.

Yep, I know exactly who you're talking about. I think her name was "Vicky" because the guy doing the play-by-play kept yelling "Vickyyyyyyyyyyy" whenever the action in the ring heated up. Very weird announcing pair.
