and I caught Lampley messing up tonight too There was one instance where Andy landed a shot yet he called it for Julio. Jim Lampley is the excitable village idiot of the HBO commentating team. I miss the days when George Foreman used to STFU him
Lamely will be silent. Merchant will be having a stroke. And Steward will be repeating, "This is going exactly the way I thought it would".
I have a feeling that if/when Mayweather-Pacquaio happen, Lampley would make sure the general public knows that Manny is winning even if Floyd would decisively wins most of the rounds. To this day, Oscar-Mayweather was still the most biased one-sided commentated bout that I've ever seen by HBO. I wouldn't be surprised to see Lampley screaming on the top of his lungs and scoring every rounds for Manny.
Not really, I think he did enough to edge him out, but there were alot of close rounds and he faded down the stretch.
it was not like bradley was coming on but pac talking off the 10th. 11th and 12th are close aside from rounds 2. judges giving 7th to bradley and some rounds in between the 3rd and 9th are questionable.
