THIS is how commentary should be.

Simple, descriptive to the fundamental level - and feels IN THE BACKGROUND.

Not constant "YOU SEE WHAT HES DOING HERE,, YOU SEE WHAT HES DOING THERE..???"

That Joe and Dom constantly try to steal the show and attention from us. Fuck that shit.

Commentating should be optional . half/half paying attention to, yet correct. And never obstrustive of our own interpretations of the damn fight,

Kudos.
 
It's certainly subjective, and they all bring something to the table. Granted, for me, how obnoxious some of them can be was part of the entertainment to me.

Like, does Joe really believe everything he is saying? I have my doubts..
 
I'm digging this basic true sport-like shit. Feels right.
 
Agreed. It's oddly pleasing NOT hearing Cruz (or Rogan) this go-around

Never thought of it this way, but good point. The Goldie effect.
 
I just heard that Anders needs to have a sense of urgency in the 5th round when he won every round except perhaps the first. I miss Joe...
 
Commentators always feeling like they need to "teach" us something and not just talk to us like WE FUCKING KNOW WHAT WE ARE WATCHING ALREADY gets annoying. I like these guys. They KNOW we KNOW what is happening. No need to get into the quantum level of the dynamics of what physical reality we are witnessing.

Honestly goldie and rogan did it best. Its a fact. Complete garbage that they got rid of Goldie.
 
48-47 Machida

Unfortunately I cant stand Paul Felders voice. He has no emotion and is pretty negative at times. I dont find many commentators being "obtrustive" on my interpretation. I know what I am watching.

Actually,
I like for commentary to be obtrusive, colorful, speculative and especially argumentative.
To me, that can be half the show.

Yep because Joe did not feel the need to get competitive with Goldie. They both knew he was better. So he only went "all out" here and there, which is just enough to keep it interesting during the slow parts of fights. Not constant fucking math problems throwing in our faces.

Right.
So biased pro-american, that I muted the TV, so I could make up my own mind.

Sorry, but they were terrible.
I can see the fight. I don't need someone telling me exactly what I am seeing.
I rather have someone who can say what is happening, what the fighter is attempting to do, why they do so, etc. That is what adds to the fight.
 
I really hope they offer streams without announcers soon. I really want to hear the gloves connecting and not much else.

Thats a great idea. I remember playing a ufc game and either you could turn the announcers off or it was a glitch but that was pretty nice.

I stream everything nowadays and I like how boxing has many different networks covering the same fight. I get tired of hearing Lampley run his mouth so I find the uk stream, UFC should do the same, not just for the spanish speakers.
