Legit LOL at Goldy calling that a body kick. wtf is this dude watching
I wonder if there will be nostalgia threads for Goldie once he's out of the UFC in 2017. "He is the Michael Jordan of submissions!".
I don't understand why people hate on Bas Rutten. Used love his cocaine fueled rants during Pride shows. People make fun of Bas Ruttan but think HBO boxing guys are great - WTF? Lampley has always been dumb fucking twerp going back to when he did college football scores on saturdays in the early 80s and Larry Merchant is annoying as fuck with his 3 second delay comments that he thinks are so profound (Leonard peppers Halger with 10 punches, crowd goes wild, Larry Merchant "none of those landed").
@RR, speaking of boxing commentators here is how I see them.
Great:
- Bert Sugar (ultimate knowledge)
- Bob Sheridan (classic)
- Howard Cosell (self absorbed but iconic)
- Emanuel Steward
- George Foreman (I'm just a big fan of big George)
- Gil Clancey
Very good/good:
- Sugar Ray Leonard
- Al Michaels
- Al bernstein
- Alex Wallau (used to hate him early on)
- Tim Ryan
- RJJ ( the few times I've heard he is good)
- Teddy Atlas
Terrible/Annoying:
- Barry Tompkins (the kid who got beaten up each week in HS)
- Larry Merchant (self absorbed tool)
- Jim Lampley (the kid that follows you around in HS)
- Ferdie Pacheco
