Please watch the entirety of this video. Very well made.

On Box Nation they're always mentioning the bias and incompetance of HBO's announcers :p

I can recall watching one fight and getting fed up with them so I muted it and made my own decision about how it went rather than trusting those two bozos. Watching that does make me wonder about British boxing announcers now. The next time I see a fight I'll have to keep an eye out for any kind of bias or wrong call by the announcers. However I'm really not sure it's near the level of HBO over here. They seem pretty fair to me.

To be honest I've always liked the British commentating. Al Bernstein was one of my favorite boxing commentators also.
Usually HBO is good but when it comes to Pacquiao they can biased a lot, especially in recent years.

I mean at one point they were talking about Pacquiao's calves when Bradley was hitting him. <_<
I think Pacquiao won though, just not as wide as HBO. Probably something like 7-5.

I do think Manny won. Just not in a dominant or wide fashion.
