Too much "misses with what looked like a backhand". This rarely happens. Most fouls are caused by punching low.

I agree good one's 60s
Also sometime i would like to see
OH HE'S DOWN HE'S DOWN then the name of the fighter coming a second later. It can happen when a punch comes sort of out of the blue it would also add a little drama to the fight.
Another when a cut accrues its not always possible at close quarters to tell for a few seconds which fighter has been cut. Even more so with a head butt. SO
Looks like coming out of that exchange there's been a cut both fighters have blood on there face. PAUSE then
Its ALI Yes it looks like there is a cut over Ali's left eye. Yes Ali has definitely been cut.
If at all possible we need to add a little suspense for the reader just like the old radio days.
One thing we are never going to do is come anywhere near a good radio broadcast because its not so much what the commentator is saying ( we can do that with text ) But more its more the change in tone from quite to loud and the excitement that a good commentary can generate with his voice.
You can type Louis explodes with a blistering volley of combinations.
but it never match a live broadcaster excitedly saying the same thing.
Reading text can get a little boring after a while so it might be nice if to the reader for a second or so he had to wait to find out what exactly did happen at times.
Right now these are just off the top of our heads i am pretty sure with a little more thought we could improve on the present ones.
