How commentators can influence the public

Don't know if this has been posted before but this is a real eye opener.

This is excellent. I originally watched this fight with the sound down and I had it very close. I was surprised when everyone was calling it a robbery.

I watched Mayweather - Pazienza in the States........(love needle fights).....and Mayweather won a shutout !!!

Watched the same fight over here with British commentary and they had pazienza winning (Gutteridge and watt).........

Geez what were they watching !!........

Eye of the beholder I guess...........I had Manny winning the fight by two.......Contentious not a robbery.

Manny & Floyd fights are the worst, IMO. In both the commentators always fawn over every little thing they do and totally undersell their opponents contribution.

When Alvarez "Fights like a zombie and is ordinary".......Then there isn't much to fawn over......You'd agree, Yes ??

Now now, it's early on a Friday, lets not get off on the wrong foot by being over-sensitive.

I was very keen to put Manny in there so it wouldn't cause you offence as the commentary on his fights is shocking. It is not Floyd's fault he also gets similar treatment and it is no slight on the man. But those TWO are the fighters I most consistently feel the need to lower the volume for.

I'm not sensitive......I regard you as a bit of a wum...

I'm basically writing down what you wrote the day after the fight..and putting you in your place.

1. I didn't write that, quote me if I did.
2. Your failure re pt1 means you have definitely not put anyone in their place.

If you want wummery, how about making up some false and spurious statistics to support your view.....

"I'm basically writing down what you wrote".......and you did write guff a long those lines ..You will admit that !!

Enough already.......Save it for CS..

Never said zombie, never said ordinary.

Said Canelo's performance was disappointing and that Floyd was exceptional ('masterclass' was the exact word I used, from memory).

Friday is looking entertaining already

Alright Jabby!

Have you submitted a p4p list?

This Halling moron........Is the world's worst.........Alex wallau could be biased but this guy takes it to a new level.......

I haven't but I shall Toppy

Are you drunk......?

WTf is the matter with you...

Watching JMM fight is always entertaining - The guy lands ten punches a round, and it's a counter punching masterclass....

Canelo's prowess according to commentators is funny - Barely lands vs Floyd - he was ineffective... Barely lands vs Trout - He won because he landed the bigger punches...

I watched the first 5 minutes of that video and when the guy slows the video down to show Pacquiao's punches are missing he is clearly wrong in his assessment on a number of occasions. The slowmo clearly shows some of Pac's punches are landing despite this Floyd-nut-hugging-video-editor claiming they are misses.


The best slow motion analysis of a fight I have seen is Floyd v Castillo I.

Watch Louis-schmelling 1 in slomo..

Just seen the video... Seems like a nut-hugger... Im sure a few didn't land, but most seemed to land after hitting the glove... if thats not a scoring shot, then most fights are secretly draws....
