?*. Everyone’s talking about reasons for 45 to keep Showtime and no one is mentioning Dexter?!?!?”

Ah, Dexter. Great show! I heard that it might be going to CBS. How would it go on CBS? it’s WAY to violent and there is cursing. Oh well, South Park and Degrassi went to UPN, so there you go.

Mauro is definitely better than Goldberg, at least he exhibits knowledge

Mauro is certainly better than Goldberg. He’s quite clever. He’s still got that pro-wrestling voice, but at least he digs for his analogies instead of rehashing the same five adjectives repeatedly. Both are paid to sell the product, but one does it better.

It’s like the Seinfeld episode where the girl wouldn’t stop referring to the person as “my fianc-ay (fiance)” – and equally as obnoxious.

Tomer Chen:

Good point about Solie. I didn’t think of Solie. But Mauro kept saying the word THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THE FIGHT! Even during many points where Choi wasn’t doing any suplexes. You could tell Mauro just likes saying suplay.

The Scott Smith KO was impressive but I have no respect for a guy who continues to punch a fighter who is clearly unconscious. That shit is fucked up.

His weird pronunciations (watch him covering a Choi Mu Bae fight in pride, and Mauro calling Choi’s “suplaighs”)

Technically, he’s correct. Suplex derives from the French word ‘Souplesse’ (often written as ‘Suplay’), so either version is OK, really. But the more likely reason he pronounces it as such is because that’s how arguably the most famous Pro Wrestling commentator of all time, Gordon Solie, pronounced it and given that Mauro is from a Pro Wrestling commentary background, it’s not a shock.

Andrej, yep. I actually agree with you regarding Butterbean. I sincerely doubt that Shaw would allow his guy into the same cage with Esch anytime soon.

Although his MMA game is harding well rounded ( OK, small pun intended, so sue me : ) ), the ‘Bean CAN punch & his mix of sheer size & power would be an X factor that I doubt Shaw would gamble Kimbo’s career on.

Very entertaining night of fights.

My favorite Mauro moment last night was his reference of the Stock Market Crash of ‘29.

Haha, classic.
