Yeah, that's one thing I notice alot (especially the Balboa announcing team) ... they really like to talk alot. I'm used to the EPL broadcasts where they talk when necessary but aren't afriad of silence. Marcel Balboa (or whatever his name is) seems to take particular pleasure in shouting out every little stupid event and often isn't even correct like saying the guy took a yellow card for dissent when the referee clearly indicated elbowing.
