Lampley is the one who gave boxing a black eye.

    Jim "Bang Bang" Lampley is a disgrace, this was a close fight that honestly could've gone to Bradley, instead of being a neutral commentator he along with Lederman shamelessly cheerleaded and created a controversy with their extreme bias.

    It's not extreme bias when a vast majority of fans, fighters, trainers, media observers, and commentating personalities all consider it a robbery. If Bradley-Pacquiao was that close, practically any scoring outcome can be justified and there's no point in declaring a winner.

    I think the fight was very close.

    I'm not gonna say that those who think otherwise are ******ed but, I don't think it is such a big controversy.

    I think Lampley & Co. really lost it in that fight.

    (I think Pacquiao won)

    Yeah.

    I'm gonna be honest and say: When I watched it live, I had no problem with Pacquiao winning against Marquez.

    Then I rewatched it and decided to score it (seeing how opinions were different about the outcome).


    I had it something like 6-1 for Marquez after 7 and then I stopped...

    The coverage of the fight was extremely biased they showed no replay or gave any acknowledgement of Bradley's work, only showing Pac highlights, as well as citing bogus compubox numbers that claimed Pac landed as many shots as Bradley in the 10th. When Bradley was clearly beating Pac late in the fight there were long awkward pauses in the commentary, followed by more one-sided highlights, meant to sway public opinion.

    In other words most of the public was swayed by the commentary.

    Lampley does what others do, try to create a controversy all the time, even if one is unnecessary, and if one is deserved (like Pac -Bradley) he amps it up to raise ratings. Him and Kellerman are full of ****.

    I would say that's HBO's fault as a whole. It's strange because HBO dickrides emmanuel whether he's getting a clear boxing lesson and gift like the Juan 3, or having a competitive match where he's robbed.

    I'm curious to see what HBO commentating will be like for a Mayweather-emmanuel fight when Floyd is schooling emmanuel. Floyd and HBO the network for the most part have a good relation.
