I hate this way of announcing the winner. How am I supposed to know what colour corner each fighter has?

Why doesn't he say their bloody name instead?

Yes, I can see how that would be hard for you.
Two colours two corners.

when was the last time they announced the winner by the corner? I cant remember hearing it recently...

Mark Burdis is the twat that primarily uses this awful technique.

He's the only MC in the pro's that I've heard say this, but he is awful in every department.

If you go to amateur shows, they always announce the corner colour, then the boxers name, it sounds ok in that context because everyone is used to it.

Maybe Fwank sent him along to some amateur shows in the hope that it would improve his technique.

Is it a major problem... he does say the name after.

It is an anti-climax. I don't immediately know who has won, and I have to work it out from the fighters reactions. The fighters themselves seem a little unsure of who has won, which results in a confused conclusion to the fight.

This technique was used by the M.C. of the Oakey vs Cleverly bout to announce the winner.

I didn't know I had to memorize the corner colours of both fighters at the beginning of the fight.

Do you always know which fighter is in the red corner and which is in the blue corner?

it ruins boxing for me, i'm turning to MMA

he does the scores wrong for me he say one one seven instead of one hundred and seventeen points.

Well is it me or do the scores on German TV give away the result before the 3rd one is announced (if its a UD)... they always seem to have the left hand score to the fighter who is on the left hand side of the split screen. Either that or it is rediculous coincidence most of the time.

Been a slow day?
