    I quite like a shit commentator even though they can at times be annoying it's like a familiar ambient mumble that is part of the fun of watching from the comfort of a sofa ale in hand. Pretty rare for me the last couple years when Saturday fight night usually means work night. That American Colonel chap is pretty laughable and shite. Don't mind the exboxers miss the old school Brits, Carpenter, Gutteridge even old Jim Watt. The best though for me was Ian Darke, him and a good expro, top notch.

    Realized it last week and a complete turn around imo..but Brian Kenny . He went from solid in studio work and sound back and forth with fighters, Teddy or Max on FNF and now goes all in pitching up brand guys on Dazn no matter what is actually happening. Goosen too. More hot or cold but top notch trainer..not so much on commenting.

    I agree completely about Brian Kenny. Goosen is alright. I don’t mind him

    El Bump. Also realized that Joe Tessitore over on espn grinds my gears at some points. Style wise he's ok but he gets caught up in over selling. Can'r go without mentioning Bradley but tbh he has reigned it is a little bit with the outbursts and wooo hoo hooos. Little bit more professional now. Chris Mannix on Dazn.

    Speaking of...is there any info on who is being brought in over on Prime? I've heard nothing as far as commentary. Have to wonder if any of the showtime crew will be back. I don't mind Al Bernstein on the call.

    i can't stand joe tessitore & his over the top screaming. tim bradley was terrible the other night, he kept saying things like he's letting him do this, as ray's face slowly swelled
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Dunno about least favourite

    But one of my favourite commentary was Howard Cossell in the Frazier - Foreman fight at 0.19 and his famous "Down goes Frazier, down goes Frazier" that's just classic and then at 1.15 "Foreman is going about his job"



    People think he and Ali had a close relationship. They didn't, really. It was more of a mutually beneficial professional relationship.

    Cossell and Ali made a great team as did Harry Carpenter and Frank Bruno.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
