Someone who complimented fighters on low blows or other fouls. This may be difficult in general since few boxers intend to be heels, but in a fight where there was one, what do you think?

I think one could get over if he did it with humor. Certain fighters are known for their tactics and if a commentator would cheer it on and point out the tactics -- complimenting him for cheap rough house stuff I think it would be entertaining. Some people use to watch fighters like Andrew Gollatta just to see him throw low blows or rabbit punches. Even Tyson in his later days became more of a "freak show" where people watched to see if he'd do something crazy especially after the Hollyfield incident. I think it would work for these type fights at least.

Mike Tyson would be great, get him hopped up on coke and stick him at a cage so he can't bite anyone with a microphone. You know full well Larry Merchant would egg him on... like he does with everyone. Between Larry Merchant's and Mike Tyson's mindless pointless babble it may not work, but definatly worth a shot, what the heck. I'd green light it.

It worked for Jessie the Body before he went into politics, but that was wrestling. Larry Merchant is pretty caustic, and he gets over doing it, but actually clowing about fouls wouldn't work for the boxing ring.
