blan89 159 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 i wouldnt question any commentators boxing knowledge,but tbh i wish they were only allowed to speak between rounds,it just annoys me especially when most the time they biased to one fighter or another. i usually end up turning the sound down.

The days of great commentators are gone....Reg Gutteridge,Harry Carpenter and another who people forget was Eammon Andrews..... brilliant commentators with bags of knowledge,entertaining and who could add to the atmosphere as well as the understanding of a fight.
