I have a handful of fights where they have no sound so I have no choice. Some because they are really old fights and others because of a bad upload but since I haven't found good replacements I still have them.

So sometimes I have no choice but to watch them without sound.

I did the NO sound on several occasions years ago. I don't do it anymore as with time I've learned not to let commentators influence me on the way a fight is going.

Example this past Sat. I didn't think Pavlik won 1 or 2 of those rounds where Emmanuel Steward felt he did and Emmanuel throughout those rounds emphasized on anything Pavlik did as did Lamps.
Still I didn't let that influence my scoring.

Been watching boxing for far to long now to let them dictate to me how the fight is going. I just view commentators now as sound effects to a movie. They are there to build up and add excitement but don't make the movie what it is.
