some of his scoring of fights is atrocious.
i've watched rds on there and been baffled by his scoring of em.
agree with both the above.. he waffles his way through the fights and generally does my head in most of the time.. his scoring of the 2nd Corrales/Casamayor fight seemed waaay off as i recall.. having said that, he does have to endure some lame bouts and does seem to have a good historical knowledge.. not my cup o' tea tho.
WHAT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER IS THAT NOT ALL THE COMMENTRY IS LIVE EVEN WHEN IT SAYS IT IS IVE SPOKE TO STEVE IN THE PAST AND HE SAID A LOT OF THE TIME HE GOES IN TO A STUDIO AND RECORDS THE COMMENTRY IN THE WEEK SO HE ALREADY KNOWS THE RESULT SO IT MUST BE BORING COMMONTATEING ON A FIGHT HE ALREADY KNOWS THE OUT COME OF

Why would it be boring even if he knew the result? I see a lot of fights I know the result of, but I don't find them boring.
