Lampley doesn't know that Kostya Tszyu fought in the US after the Vince Phillips fight!

Yes how dare he not know one obscure fighter fact!

 

Sure but at any given time there are literally dozens of champions & contenders. Knowing when one of them happened to have fought in which environs, if it isn't particularly germane to his job (ie impacting the fights on the network on which he calls boxing) isn't exactly the fulcrum on which to tear down someone's credibility and determine they DKSAB.

It's ignorance of one fact, not "everything outside HBO boxing".

 

Eh, I'll take it there. He was a cheerleader for HBO marquee fighters. Rarely did he call the fights fair. He never seem to have any great analysis about styles or strategies. Although I will say he was great at making the fights sound exciting.

 

You got it.

 

Tbf to him he said he couldn't recall not that it never happened. The guy is old and not as sharp as he used to be so give him a break.

 

Hes 74 and that was 20 years ago. I'm willing to bet Lampley doesn't spend his night reading boxing Wikipedia articles.

 

And a lot of Tszyu fights were on showtime iirc? Just imagine how many hbo places and fights he’s been to. The ones he doesn’t even want to be at, too.

 

Thie

 

Gotta be some age related confusion there I'm sure, all but 4 of Kostyas post-Phillips fights were in the US, including the Judah fight of course

 

Too busy sucking off Pacquiao and calling punches that d9nt land

 

I laughed at this.

 

Not to mention he would have commentated Kostas fights
