Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

Looks like turk trying to bring back the HBO crew

imo best would be the old Showtime cast.

Lampley was often annoying trying to push a narrative regardless of what was happening but you know what, the current commentator teams achieved that I’m crying them back.


I can’t believe there’s no better talent to call fights than the current lot.

Forced banter between Mora and Mannix is the worst, they must have thought it would be a good “buddy comedy” like banter element in the commentating but instead it’s just super awkward and sounds like Mannix would constantly try to bully Mora who can’t say a comeback to save his life.

And then I didn’t even get into the UK casts where they have a supernatural talent for calling in some of the least likeable pricks of ex-fighters who you never wanted to listen to ever again after their career has concluded to come and commentate (eg. Froch, Bellew )

im not understanding why no one brings back antonio tarver...antonio tarver on the pbc on spike broadcasts was literally the best for calling the fights...roy as well
