    Even if you don't like him.. you can never get tired of this...




    "And that right hand hurt Taylor"

    "Taylor is stunned"

    "Left hook, knocks Taylors head up"

    "Uppercut has Taylor in big trouble!"

    "Down Goes Jermain"


    "Steve Smoger is going to stop the fight!"


    "And that is correct, we have a brand new middleweight champion, hes from Youngstown, Ohio!"



    Unless of course, you are a Taylor fan.. :yep

    I always liked Lampley altough lately he had some not so good performances.The thought that Papa might replace him is terrifying.

    I think Lampley is the greatest play by play man in boxing history. He's special. A presence. Invaluable to HBO Boxing. We take him for granted. When he leaves, his absence will be felt.

    dont like him. he always says something weird like mayweather's beautiful smile, and this boxers beautiful body. oh yeah and he beats his wife's ass.

    i know he has a job but i find his announcing extremely biased and you can tell who his favorite is from the way he calls the fight.

    I love Lampleys play calling. His excitement makes for a special memory when a fight is stopped or a brawl is happening.

    Trivia: Can you guys guess in which fight Lampley said his famous, "What an awesome show. What a great, great fight!" that is said in the HBO WCB intros?

    I think he's a great commentator. Miles above any that we have here in Britain. His voice helps build up a sense of occasion. I think him and Manny Steward with Larry Merchant are the perfect team. I don't like when Max Kellerman commentates though, he's annoying and offers little insight for me.

    I dont mind him, but if it wasnt for 'compubox numbers' he'd struggle.
