Makdessi got robbed.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I definitely saw it going Makdessi's way, but I'd have to watch again to be sure.

How is it that Olivia (Female commentator. I probably spelled her name wrong) seems like the only commentator that did more than the most basic preparation for calling the fights? And why does she seem to have a greater depth of knowledge of the game than the others?

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

The whole broadcast team sits down with each of the fighters during fight week behind closed doors and they ask them a bunch of questions so that they can get the info for their commentary. Olivi is just a pro and always does a really good job so she makes the ex-fighters look bad.

[–] YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Buffer said that Herb Dean stopped the fight… Not exactly
