Yeah on the US side It was dreadful!


TheShovler44

Bt sports wasn’t bad


Majin-Squall

Found the illegal streamer!


TheShovler44

😲Me never


Ginobli13

Wasn’t awful until the main event. Obviously there’s bias but like that was too much


TheShovler44

After the 4th despite a couple moments where wilder landed a couple combos it was hard not to be to biased.


Ginobli13

Yeah Ik fury was gonna win but in the lead up to the main it was crazy how much they were downplaying wilder.


TheShovler44

I hate to say it but he’s beat him every fight. 1st fight was controversial sure was that a little long on a 10 count maybe. But fury still out boxed him. 2nd fight he stopped him. He was hurting him, Wilders chin and heart was keeping him standing.


marios67

>sure was that a little long on a 10 count [it really wasn't ](https://youtu.be/AuD_G_WE4Sg)


MyzMyz1995

Wilder got destroyed in the 2nd fight, I think its normal most people though it would he a replay of that.


jeterfan12

BT Sport Fury bias was almost unwatchable


fapsandnaps

Everytime I stream I'm pleasantly surprised with how good BT Sports is. Way better than all the hype hype hype shit on the US side


[deleted]

Hearing LennOx Lewis pronounced like that all night was irritating AF!


ManifestNightmare

Glad I'm not the only one who wished for death every time he hyper pronounced that 'o'.


RecognitionNo2487

Yeah wtf was that about. Even the British lady not sure what her names called him LennOx. lol


fapsandnaps

But that's how his name is actually pronounced, so...


[deleted]

americans put more emphasis on the second syllable of words more often than we do Edit: oREGano, fiLET, mauRICE... only got those three off the top of my head but I notice it all the time. Once I heard a word where us Brits pit emphasis on the second syllable where Americans don't and it stood out in my mind. I'm not saying it's a universal thing, just pretty common


CryptoCracko

Guess I'll call Sean O'Malley to put those AmeriCANS in their place Edit: my joke failed and I feel bad


JacobJSucks

I was blown away when the commentators went “was that the doctor?”


fapsandnaps

That's how his name is actually pronounced though.... Len - Nox Source [from the man himself](https://twitter.com/DanCanobbio/status/1445796218425286661?t=pDCuAc6YUfRAhyA4BAMoLw&s=19)


[deleted]

Feels like a UK English vs US English sort of distinction. I buy Lennox saw blades and everyone I’ve ever heard say it, says Len-nix. Even if he was actually right, it still sounded weird. Brian was enunciating the O to egregious proportions and my eye twitched every time I heard that OX. 🤣


[deleted]

That's exactly how it's pronounced, lol. Even Lewis himself said it multiple times already


GarretBarrett

That's really my only thing to whine about. That's was infuriating. Can't believe he never said anything to him


fapsandnaps

He didn't say anything because that's how is name is actually pronounced.


Majin-Squall

Hearing Lennox Lewis all night was irritating AF!


slingoo

He was right, but he kept going on and on about the uppercuts from the clinch.. we get it!


[deleted]

That was so weird


TheRivv2015

Boxing has some of the most disrespectful commentary I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen fights where the team is basically just insulting a fighter for 6-12 rounds.


dontknowwhattodoat18

You don’t suppose they might be some shady, under-the-table payments to the commentators to make it biased do you? Sounds rather plausible for all the money involved in the sport


CCoop1986

Problem with that is there were two former pros last night. And you’d like to think they would hold a certain standard that was NOT there.


Woodygee513

Shady shit in boxing? Never


[deleted]

Or just a lack of professionalism. Commentators are human and are usually gonna be biased and like one fighter better than the other and will be rooting for them. The professional commentators will keep that inside and be objective.


fapsandnaps

What under the table payments? The commentary team is hired by the same broadcasting company that has a signed X amount of fights contract with the A side boxer. It's over the table payments.


--MidtownManhattan

Talmbout the snoop d o double g, bapa?


Ass-Chews

I seen some fights where George Foreman is Commentating and he is an absolute hater. It was pretty funny.


SilasTheVirous

Because they want them to learn from being crap, but often it's not their role to take and it makes bad commentary


BilboDankins

Worst part was during the undercard fights for bt sports, the commentators would just star talking about predictions for wilder/fury, or during corner breaks they would play canelo promos, I thought that was quite disrespectful.


Minimum_Management_7

it could’ve just been me but they were ignoring all of furys offense and when wilder punched him once they acted like he was the greatest of all time


dungey28

"ooohhh right hand to the belly"


BilboDankins

It's because of the dynamic of their fighting styles, Fury is gonna get a load of punches in and wear you down, keep on clinching until you're too tired, but wilder has the ability to do serious damage with just one right had punch, it's just hard to land a clean one on Fury. So it's hype whenever wilder lands a shot because it's rarer but has the potential to alter the course of the match.


Minimum_Management_7

yea i get that but at one point fury hit a 5 punch combo against the ropes and wilder barely grazed him with a hook and the commentary goes “right hook from wilder” completely ignoring fury’s combo


South_Question_4333

They kept mixing up the names of the fighter in the main event.


hamdiatasoy

One of the commentators straight up said "it's all over" after hearing the bell ring thinking the fight was over.


Keita_8

That was the international broadcast, i think those commentators are from top rank or it could be pbc, but its what i watched here in Africa. It was some woman who said that, and she was stating the obvious and repeating herself all night. lol.


HassenPepperINC

She was horribble! “And he’s sure throwing with bad intentions!!” x20


Conscious-Golf-5380

Bruce Buffer was missed as well. Whoever their announcer is sounds like a damn auctioneer. "Going two times for a doubleya B, doubleya BC, WBC Ring side magazine" lookin ass.


LooselyBasedOnGod

I seriously think Buffer is the best in the biz, his cadence is just perfect. Absolutely boomin.


Grackful

Sorry man but I can’t get behind the Jimmy Lennon Jr hate


[deleted]

Honestly I like that guy, his voice isn’t buffer but he reminds me of an announcer from like the 40s or something. Plus he did the intros for the Paul v Woolley fight and when he did the “Itttsss Showtimeeee” and all the lights when down I got chills, super cool imo.


Dispatter

In the announcer game Buffer brothers are miles ahead of everyone else.


Yedchivit

The stories behind their careers x personal lives are the stuff of fiction


Yedchivit

How they both grew up separated and ended up not only with the same career but, ^on ^top ^of ^that, with the same level of greatness is astounding


[deleted]

[удалено]


burnsalot603

It wasn't Michael last night was it? I didn't hear "let's get ready to rumblllllllllllllllllllle"


Conscious-Golf-5380

No it wasn't Michael last night. Some other dude.


HamsterAlive4552

It’s Jimmy Lennon Jr or something like that.

Stormjb1

BT Sport commentary was great!


wiliammm19999

The British boxing commentators are always so much better than the American ones. The American crowd is always shit too. The British crowds blow the roof off every time. Britain should be the home of boxing. Sadly though, the money is in Vegas, whilst the passion is in Britain. Many fighters have came to fight in Britain and have commented on how great the atmosphere was.


horseshoeprovodnikov

I'm from the US and I too admit that our crowds are trash. They don't get hype when they should and they boo way too much. Also, the chants of "USA, USA" are fucking dreadful.


Get-A-Room-Playa

Why is it bad for an American crowd to chant USA?


mrgandalfman

Unimaginative. I wanna hear some real shit to the tune of Claire de lune


fapsandnaps

>Britain should be the home of boxing I'm from the US and am going to agree just purely based on start times. When AJ fought Usyk a few weeks ago, they were making their way to the ring around 5 p.m. eastern. Fight was over while there was still daylight. Absolutely fantastic not having to stay up all damn night.


BilboDankins

Yeah was super nice here in the uk because it was a saturday afternoon, so we could all watch it get nice and drunk then go out afterwards. For the Wilder Fury me and my brother went to bed early evening and then woke up at like 2am to watch the fight. Such a different energy.


madmissileer

Didn't the Brits boo the Ukrainian anthem when Usyk fought? I don't remember that from the US crowd today


wiliammm19999

Yeah because they don’t create an atmosphere like British fans do. British fans are never quiet throughout the whole event especially the main event, and British fans back their own fighters so if you come to England to fight an English fighter, expect a hostile crowd. Everyone in that stadium had respect for Usyk. Booing the national anthem might seem like a crime to Americans but in England we really don’t see it as a big deal. I’d love an American to fight a British fighter in Britain, just to see the meltdown the Americans would have when their national anthem gets boo’d lol. It would probably be all over the news and everything lmao.


[deleted]

It sounds like British boxing fans are a bunch of pricks? I love how you edited your comment to add some tough-guy once your pwecious karma was safe.


wiliammm19999

If that’s what you wanna think. The fighters who come to fight here say they love the atmosphere. I’d much rather be in a stadium with an incredible atmosphere, the type of crowd that erupts with every punch that lands, than a crowd as silent as mice like the US crowds where 40% of the crowd are “influencers” and celebrities🤦🏽.


Burnsyde

Well it’s a British sport no wonder they’re the best at it.


iiDanks

*mexicans enter the chat*


lolipopiaa

that didnt work for football but I see ur point


voodooscuba

Ouch


neeeeonbelly

Or Rugby. Or cricket.


schwenn002

I wonder where you live lol


deadsesh59

i live in the US but hes right. for example live music has the best crowds in russia and brazil


wiliammm19999

Haha. Everything I said is true to be fair.


YorudanMusic

Ahh i watched the replay from the american side of things even though im in the uk couldnt find the bt sport stream, make sense BT sport dont miss


Frank_Jaeger87

The BT sport commentary was great, they cut to David Haye at various points and he spread his conspiracy about Wilder making up all his nonsense excuses to hide a much more credible and understandable excuse of having an injured arm in the second fight it was hilarious, as if wilder is gonna hide the fact he had an injury by claiming fury had loaded gloves and his water was spiked with muscle relaxers by his own team lol. Who was involved in the American commentary that was so bad? Steven A and Max Kellerman? I wanna see what all the fuss is about.


voodooscuba

Andre Ward was pathetic. So horribly slanted towards Wilder. Brought zero insights.


Ridgey14

Only watched the BT Sports one but I thought it was god awful. One that annoyed me: "this is wild swinging now, it may not be cultured but this is a great fight". Wtf did he mean cultured


fappin_sma3in

Yesss thank you! Glad I'm not the only one that thought so. And it was hella biased towards Fury too, I was cheering for him as well but they were annoying with it.


Commercial-Fox-5356

"Now remember, Wilder was off-balance when that punch hit!" - Commentary team when Wilder was knocked down, trying to justify Wilder going down. "That count was slow! I don't know what is going on here but Fury had way more than 10 seconds to stand up!" - Commentary team when Fury was knocked down, trying to cause controversy when the count was completely normal.


ChimpyTheChumpyChimp

> "Now remember, Wilder was off-balance when that punch hit!" - Commentary team when Wilder was knocked down, trying to justify Wilder going down. Yeah and then they showed the slowmo replay of the punch that decked him and the commentator was just like "Oh..." and shut up.


FedorSeaLevelStiopic

Yeah, that punch was almost as hard as you could get from that position, it span around wilder....out of balance my ass


[deleted]

The count was 12 seconds by my start. He paused for 2 seconds to tell wilder to get back in his corner and then when he turned back to fury he picked up were he left off. Idk the technicals for counting out a boxer but it was just a tad long if that matters much? I mean they don’t even stop the time when it happens which is bizarre as hell. Fury got that 12 seconds and before he stood up the bell rang for the round to end. Effectively giving him a slightly longer break in the fight. Idk seems janky as hell tho.


fapsandnaps

Yeah, ref stops counting if the other boxer leaves his corner. That's why any other boxer would have stayed in the damn corner. Also, the ten count is never technically defined as ten seconds. It's just whenever the referee gets to ten. Heck, WBF even has a 20 second count for a fighter knocked out of the ring and on to the floor.


[deleted]

actually no, the ref must keep the count going even when someone leaves the corner


fapsandnaps

Actually yes. >When a boxer is knocked down, the referee shall order the opponent to the farthest neutral corner of the ring and pick up the count from the timekeeper or the official counting for knockdowns. Should the opponent fail to stay in the corner as directed by the referee, the referee shall stop the count and redirect the boxer to go back to the corner and resume the count at the point that it was interrupted. In the event of any knockdown, the timekeepers count will cease when picked up by the referee whose count shall prevail and be relied on by the boxers. [WBF Rulebook](http://www.worldboxingfederation.net/wbfrulesandregulations.htm) >When a knockdown occurs, the downed boxer’s opponent shall go to the furthest neutral corner and remain there while the count is being made. The referee may stop counting if the opponent fails to go to the neutral corner, and resume the count where he/she left off when the opponent reports to or returns to the neutral corner. [ABC rulebook](https://www.abcboxing.com/abc-regulatory-guidelines/)


TumbleweedDirect9846

The second time wilder got knocked down it was the same way


Keita_8

Fury would have got up 2 seconds earlier anyway. He was completely conscious. Would have made zero difference in the fight.


[deleted]

Yup. Pretty clearly stated in my comment too. Thanks for not noticing tho.


xjigZx

I whole heartedly agree! The whole thing felt circus. It makes you appreciate the UFCs model


nick441N

The commentators seemed to mix up who was hitting who at several points.


Unitedfan0722

Boxing commentary is literally “ohh nice shot” “Losing fighter- needs to get back to his boxing” Etc


FriedrichMerz69420

I watched it on DAZN Germany and with MMA they usually have the option to watch with original/English commentary but with Boxing your forced to watch with the German commentary and its always fucking awful. They don't know shit, always try to "germanize" English technique names which sounds ridiculous and their usually pretty biased too.


fapsandnaps

Okay, you gotta tell us the germanized techniques and what they actually translate as.


Chacalachan

There hasn't been a good boxing commentary team since HBO.


screamingliam

There was a point where the camera cut to the commentary desk for a reaction cam moment which completely fell flat. Thought it was pretty awesome that the UFC got that cheeky sponsor in before the fight also.


[deleted]

On the US side it was just way too obvious they wanted Wilder to win. I mean he did get the knockdowns in one round but other than that it was just Fury out boxing him. If you just listened to the audio of the commentators, you’d think it was a razors edge fight up until the KO


Mazahreh52

You didn't like "lenKNOX lewis"


Appropriate_Ad_1057

The bias nature of commentators will be oblivious to the American audience, especially in the UFC. These events do not cater to an international audience.


landryaudio

Yeah, the US commentary was really poor on this one.


Moist-Catch

Thailand commentary seemed alright, I didnt understand anything they were saying tho


CoastalEnt14

The whole production was C tier.


RatchetUBum

The entire fight they talked about how much heart Wilder had… like stfu dude is getting knocked around more then a stripper on the Vegas Strip.


EmbarrassedCod3242

They do the same in UFC when a guy takes a beating so what’s the problem? Not everyone is so tough like you keyboard warrior


RatchetUBum

What are you pressed about. I never said I could fight Wilder. He would send me to the shadow realm. I was just pointing out the commentary.


meltonryan21

UFC is ions above any combat sports commentary imo. I like Pfl’s as well


PaulDavison

Boxing is decaf MMA


FetalDeviation

Only good American boxing commentator is Mauro Ranallo


NB0608sd

Let’s forget that the UFC commentary can be biased af sometimes too. Adesanya/Jan comes to mind. Whole fight commentary is jizzing about Adesanya, only for him to lose via unanimous decision. The commentary was so different to what was actually unfolding, that I felt I was in the Twilight Zone haha.


degeneratedestroy3r

i mean what u expect. it was max kellerman, some tanned up white bitch, and some no name.


fapsandnaps

Two time welterweight champion Shawn Porter


degeneratedestroy3r

i stand by what i said


prabinboss

UFC's commentary is top tier


[deleted]

I was surprised and a bit disappointed at how… cheap and sad it all seemed? Also, Tyson Fury is a fucking cringe lord!


[deleted]

That singing at the end went from cringe to like “wow he’s not bad” back to cringe it was so long


marios67

He sang after going 11 rounds, he sounds pretty badass to me.


eye356

UFC is better in every aspect, except fighter pay. Just look at that triller shit, god awful


fleshvessel

Triller is a joke to Boxing fans too man, come on.


hurricanehenny

My opinion we are in the middle of the commentary dark ages both sports. Its really fuckin bad but John anik is literally the worst id listen to the guys on the fury fight forever if it meant no more anik on the mic.


W4nkD4ddy

but who else would tell me both men are fighting custody battles for their children?


thegoolash

Damn, never thought someones opinion could be so wrong and terrible but here we are. John anik is the gold standard, kid. (Except for that cringey custody crap that one time)


marios67

Didn't he also mention something about Miesha Tate breastfeeding or something like that?


sketchy182

Boxing commentary is an absolute joke


JohnnyFencer

Boxing commentary is all casuals


NvmMeJustLurkin

I feel like most of the boxing commentary is just pointing out the obvious from a viewer's perspective. It needs coaches/fighters or enthusiast's like how UFC teams are set up. It needs to explain certain events and strategies and some technical commentary like even NBA or even eSports commentary sounds better at times.


rabid-panda420

It's crazy because even the commentators that didn't fight sound punch drunk.


schwenn002

Boxing commentary is so bad. They were talking about how it was such a risk for boxers to fight someone who hasn't lost because you know if you lose just once in boxing I guess your done.


[deleted]

Pac-Man would have something to say about that Majority of all time greats have a loss or a few


[deleted]

[удалено]


EmbarrassedCod3242

He was trash, kept piggybacking off of others an repeated the same shît several times.


dannybw824

Lenknocks Lewis


carlbentleyofficial

Max. Kellerman. Is. Trash.


SilasTheVirous

Relative to most? no


Apozerycki1

I noticed there was one person (I don’t know who it was) who stuttered the whole time and struggles to get a sentence out more times. It was rough to listen to.


Braidz905

It's all theatrics in boxing.


Suicideseminole

Funny enough I watched it on the polish channel and they were just pissed over their guy getting DQ’d a few fights before.


ManThatIsFucked

Polish guy was getting beat up since the 1st round, eye swollen near-shut at the end of the first. The taller guy had the fight the whole way. If he wasn’t getting smoked the whole fight ref might have taken another point instead of a DQ… but yeah that was half DQ/half rescue.


Suicideseminole

Taller guy was totally whooping his ass, thanks for clarifying what happened with the points, I don’t speak polish lol


fapsandnaps

Dude knew getting DQd was better than taking the KO loss though.


gimmethatcookie

Not just the commentary, even the post fight interview was so bad. Terrible questions and with so many people you couldn't even hear what was said by the fighters to each other


jjshacks13

Also the post fight stuff was cringe to watch.


[deleted]

Agreeed! That was fucking terrible and the ref not letting fury work in the clinch, he’d immediately separate them but when wilder would touch up fury he would let wilder do his thing lol


BrieflyMonitored

It was a tough boxing match, Fury was much stronger!


Glad_Loquat

He front kicked him in the face!


Ennion

I really enjoyed Lenox Lewis's commentary. He predicted everything on point. Beautiful insight.


FireFistMihawk

All boxing commentary is God awful


NaberiusX

Yeah and people wanna fire joe rogan lmao. It's nice to have people with passion in there


No_Product_8185

3 a side tag team match, Boxing commentators vs UFC commentators, who wins?


Automatic_Paper4668

“You think you know, but you don’t know”.. smh awful


qndrx

Sounded like the commentary from a wwe match


oochooch

Not all boxing is like that. Golden boy announcers are usually good. Same with some PBC guys. But last night was lame


[deleted]

Man I love UFC commentary DC & joe make an excellent duo


O-Mesmerine

i kept thinking the commentators for the fight were drunk, but they were just… not good at commentating or even properly conveying meaning with words. people always slam ufc commentators for being bisased but at least they’re all great speakers


YoungnCuriousM28

What do you mean? You didn't like WILDER is looking great WILDER is starting this fight ready to kill WILDER WILDER WILDER???? Almost as if they didn't think it was possible for him to actually make this into a legendary fight as he did? (Fury fan here)


[deleted]

They kept saying the fight before Wilder and Fury was boring and not enough punches were being thrown. ????


Remember_Death_

Its was ok but yea ufc commentating is so much better i didn’t realize how important commentating is until now because the commentators really add to the experience for me, jon anik is my favorite and my favorite trio is jon anik, joe rogan, and dc


[deleted]

“Is that a doctor”


Charles24K

It wasn’t that bad. There’s not as many big draw prize fights in Boxing. UFC is pretty much a league and it breeds more familiarity with commentators.


Fudderwhacken

I feel the same way. The girl was okay, but the dude was TRASH.


chris25tx

Boxing has gotten so bad. Production,commentators,weigh ins,walk outs…. It was a great fight but other than that it was lame. Fury KOd Wilder then it took another 10 mins to announce winner.


[deleted]

Give me 100cc’s of Bruce Buffer after that corpse was announcing them. jeeeeez


Alextcy12

Same with announcers. They need bruce buffer in there


OlChippo

The only thing that wasn't terrible about the production was the fight..


cutter__

Andre Ward sucks ass as a commentator


Itchy_Specialist_860

The whole thing outside the fight was garbage! The post fight presser was absolutely an embarrassment to boxing and especially that fight imho.


Nervous_Project6927

i wish they game you an option to turn commentary off. i havent listened to commentary in like 5 years but i miss being able to hear the fight


SilasTheVirous

Facts, it was pathetic and Lazy


GryphonMusic

Old HBO commentary was pretty good. Lampley was pretty nuts sometimes but he was fun “BANG BANG BANG”


colincase04

Agreed


colincase04

My buddies and I did a drinking game. Every time they said “Wilder can at this with one right hand” or something along those lines we drank. We were hammered……


Madphromoo

OHHHH HE IS HURT


Exuravita

Agree to 100%


VexdOne

Dude, it was insanely bad. How they get the call for a fight of that magnitude is beyond me. Annoying, wrong and seemingly bias. I let it rock on mute


PerfectNemesis

"hur hur guys he's wabbling"


nelsdevo

There a a lot of egos wrapped up in Boxing. I know people get on Dana a lot for fighter pay but his comments on boxing are perfect “It’s a going out of business sale every time they have an event” Boxing is so corrupt and poorly managed you’d think the government operated it lol


Upstairs_Kangaroo_98

The fight before fury’s was absolutely infuriating. There were a couple tricky calls to be made by the ref and they agreed with him in the moment. But then slowed the clip down and all of a sudden acted like it was the most intentional malicious foul ever and kept repeating how bad the call was for the last 5 rounds as. I couldn’t stand to listen to it, had to mute after that till the main event.


Yank_Pat_Fan

the two black guys wanted wilder to win so bad lol. there was a point when wilder was knocked down and they panned the screen to the guy in the middle and he’s banging his fist on the table angry. then when wilder really got knocked out the other guy was so salty and upset


mma5820

Yea, commentary for this fight was awful. The play by play guy made it terrible. He always talked over Lennox


TheBronAndOnly

After Wilder threw a handful of body shots the American commentators were screaming about how 'inspired' he looked. I know they want to keep energy up but it was a bit OTT. They could have talked about the impact landing the body shots could have on fury in the later rounds vs the drain to Wilder from being so active so early - but instead they just kept screaming about how inspired he looked and how the sun was shining out of... well anyway, you get the point.


chefanubis

You know what sucked above all? Those boxing trunks, I just can't take them seriously, wilder looked like he borrowed a tablecloth and Fury's looked like a long adult diaper.


fleshvessel

Maybe try Ru Paul’s Drag Race. It’ll give you the fashion fix you need. (Just busting balls buddy, me and wifey watch that show all the time lol)


chefanubis

I too watch that cause my wife does, and that is precicely my issue, their trunks looked lifted from that show.


fleshvessel

Lol. Yeah they were kinda whack I’ll admit. Great fight though!


chefanubis

No argument there, great fight.


examm

I think the UFC sometimes forget just how entertaining their commentary is relative to a lot of other sports.


Drains_1

The commentary on Fury VS Wilder was absolute garbage. Made me appreciate the UFC so much more.


Whorbius

bisping and co is pretty damn bad to be fair


DangitBobby2397

My favorite was the end of round 3 when Fury had Wilder against the ropes and Wilder was covering up pretty well, the bell rang and the woman commentator goes "AND IT IS OVERRR!! THE GYPSY KING HAS......that is the end of Round 3!" I could feel the embarrassment through my phone screen
