Is it just me. or is Gus Johnson the worse announcer out there?

[HattonTheHammer]

Everything about showtime from its commentary to its press row is biased

I watched the fight live on PPV in the uk and again via a showtime telecast and if you closed your eyes you would of thought you were watching an all together different fight.

Primetime were calling it more often than not spot on and had it going right till the last round. Yet had you listen to showtime you would of believed the fight was all over by the end of the 5th and that dirrell would of been unlucky to lose the odd round!!

Yes, Primetime the station effectively bank-rolled by Mick Hennessy associates was the unbiased one calling it spot on

Lol Hammer who are you to call anyone out on biases? I haven't watched the British version but shit just because Gus Johnson didn't make believe that Froch was landing some punches doesn't mean he's biased. I think he can be good one day, he has some bad days and some good ones. I thought he did a good job calling the Bradley-Peterson fights.

Uhhhhh...he may not be great in boxing but for football, basketball, and any other sport, Gus Johnson is the guy I want doing my play by play. His calls are fucking brilliant. His excitement is pure and while listening to him you feel like you're listening to a genuinely excited guy and sports lover and not some suit.

"Another right hand landing flush by Carano.
Backs her up with the jab, now circling, looking more like a boxer.
Short left hook on a pivot, another short left hook; that's Floyd Mayweather right there!!!"
- Gus Johnson describing Gina Carano vs Kobold.

Then Gus said Seth Petruzelli beating Kimbo Slice was the biggest upset in MMA history.



Yep, Gus Johnson is pretty f*<ked up.

The whole Show-Time crew is amateur at best. They get payed to do what they do but their obvious lack of boxing knowlege is almost laughable. Say what you will about HBO, and I know they arent always the greatest but their is no comparison between HBO and showtime. HBO>showtime.
