lifted from his tfn bio?[edit]

It looks like this was heavily based on his bio on The Fight Network site. An original rewrite might not be a bad idea. -- Intractable (talk) 04:49, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Early MMA Announcing in Pride FC[edit]

If you watch the Pride events which Mauro announced for, he would often call moves by the wrong name or suggest a submission was close when it was not. It was really annoying because he clearly had very little knowledge of MMA but was thrown into announce for one of the largest MMA organizations. Better yet, when Frank Trigg was his color commentator, Frank would call him out on his errors and make fun of him. I don't have a proper, written source for this which is why I'm not including it in the article, but I think his shoddy understanding of MMA is worth accounting. I just wish he would stop using that ridiculous 1950s radio voice. It is so annoying and condescending He sounds like a complete idiot! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.130.119.28 (talk) 18:13, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mauro is a highly respected and great announcer. mike goldberg in ufc makes just as many mistakes if not more. thats why they have another guy announcing for these instances. mauro and goldberg are more for color commentating. i dont know why you insist posting negative things about this guy. that was years ago when he made minor errors like your saying, hes much more knowledgeable of the sport now. your probably the only one that thinks he sounds like an idiot. i think he sounds great, know how the hype up the fans, and is extremely creative with the metaphors. i say we leave the negativity out, this man has done nothing wrong and is just doing his job. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.188.201.146 (talk) 20:29, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

if anything it should be noted that he is the best announcer ever. i mean i have yet to see an announcer more exciting and creative —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.188.201.146 (talk) 20:02, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe Mauro was green when he started announcing for Pride, but Joe Rogan STILL spouts off about guys being about to be submitted when they've already escaped. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.6.248.176 (talk) 10:52, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
