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

[holmcall]

This guy is so biased, he makes me want to

I didn't listen to the sound for it so I don't know, hopefully he was talking about how shit Froch is.

I like him overall, he's great during the NCAA tournament.

And he can't possibly be more biased than Lamps or Kellerman. I just don't see how that's possible.

Gus isn't that bad, he does have a bit of the repugnant Mike Goldberg (the UFC guy) qualities to him in the fact that he upsells everything. I like when commentators like Atlas and Merchant are real with you on the significance of the fight. Otherwise, I think he's good and with commentators you have to give them time. Believe me, I'm in school for sports broadcasting right now and it is A LOT to have on your plate. I just wish he would do more play by play and less color for boxing. Biased isn't the right word for him though, he's not biased he just isn't comfortable yet it seems.

Terrible does not begin to describe him.Had to make amends with Jim Lampley during fightnight thread as Gus puts him to shame in brown nosing some guys....."Speed of Roy Jones" and skills of Floyd Maywather....HUH .Hes a blow hard more suited for a Monday night Raw show for WWE

gus johnson ended up on SHOWTIME because when ELITEXC (the mma promotion that used to be on SHOWTIME) got a CBS deal they wanted to have control over the production, im pretty sure thats where johnson came in

for some reason SHOWTIME decided to start using him for STRIKEFORCE (the mma promotion that is now on showtime) and they replaced steve albert with him


they did have steve albert work the abraham taylor fight tho


steve albert is the fucking man


i think the reason they had albert call that fight was nick charles being absent with cancer treatment

they had bernstien work the last shobox, which was the first since nick charles has been out, so maybe steve albert will be his fill-in

i think its more that he doesnt know much about boxing (even less about mma)
