The amount of #codeswitching by #boxing commentators in the #Philippines is fascinating. This fight with Mark #Magsayo is no exception. I've watched upwards of 50 fights where this is the commentary style. I'm not familiar with the linguistic behavior there outside of this domain, so I'm really curious how this works in other contexts.
