John Rawlings

[Datsue]

Rawlings is such a terrible commentator that I decided to switch over to a Russian-language telecast.

You would rather listen to somebody speaking Russian ? - why not just turn the volume down/off ?

The option to have arena noise only and no commentary should be actively explored.

Yes please.

Thirded. Seconded. Whatever.

Someone who wasn't me got a stream for the Marquez vs Katsidis fight, it had full-level crowd noise & no commentary whatsoever. It was wonderful; every time Katsidis' trainer screamed out "Fair dinkum! Hit him in the body, mate! Like a dingo!" (which was about seventeen times a round), Marquez would whip in a left hook or wide right underneath, & then invariably follow it with an uppercut to the head from the same side.

Just got a copy of the Wilfredo Gomez v Lupe Pinter fight, with no commentary and just the crowd noise. It is something else, just get to concentrate on the fight. Which is superb if you've never seen it before.
