Biased commentating? Rogan Goldie awful..
The best thing to do is watch the fight again with the sound off.
Rogan and Goldie were heavily rooting for Forrest in this fight, biased commentators often skew the audiences opinion at home.
They tried to make it seem like Forrest was winning every round, I even think I heard Joe say Forrest was winning round 1 until he got knocked down.
It was shameful commentating last night, I hope if they have a rematch that they won't be so biased again.

Didn't Goldie and Mike actually disagree on who they thought were winning?
And While I agree that the commentators have a lot to do with the way the people listening see the fight, they judges don't listen to the commentators, so it's hard to say that they can effect the outcome of a fight.

No but they can sway public opinion. And the judges are retarded anyway so there is nothing you can do about them.

Yea, I totally agree that Rogan and Goldie sway the way the fans see the fight going.
Not all fans, but most.

Goldberg was shocked when Rogan said Forrest was winning.
I do think the commentary is often biased.

Again...don't let facts get in the way. However, I am not sure that the OP actually did mean that it influenced the judges; just all of us at home who thought Forrest won.
