Al Bernstein

 

I like BOTH "Lamps & Bernie"............... I'd be cool with them two guys working with the going senile Lawrence Merchant on HBO, but political correctness will not go for it in 2009.............. We gotta have a "Other Than White" person working in the mix now for political satisfaction............... I say: "BULL**** TO THAT!" Just go ahead and hire the BEST guys for the job and see where that leads to............ Let it come naturally instead of hand-picking people for paper-work needs.............

Lampley. I don't like Bernstein at all.

 

Bernstein.

 

Bernstein is a smooth announcer who can do play by play and color commentary. Lamps knows the sport very well, and might be able to lend more drama to what's taking place in the ring, but in terms of versatility I'd give the edge to Bernstein.

 

Lampley is just a clown. While Bernstein is far from perfect, he at least comes up with good insight now and then, which Lampley seems completely incapable of.

 

Bernstein is more of a true boxing fan and follower of boxing who only has interest in calling the fights, while Jim Lampley is a well rounded seasoned sports announcer who can adjust and even call ***** / women sports like Tennis and make it sound exciting......

I too, prefer Bernstein cuz he and I only concentrate on the fight game.........

I also like pro football, but that's in a distant 2nd place on my hit list.......

Baseball is in at # 3....... But only late in the season....... Opening day means NOTHING to me.....

Basketball----SUCKS!!! I hate that ****............ Too much fouling and delaying the game bull****..........

Hockey?? I'll pass..... But the film "Slapshot" is killer...........

Golf?? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!

No better dramtic blow by blow announcer than Lampley in my opinion. Emanuel Steward and whoever else is with them, Lennox Lewis, Max Kellerman who whoever is supposed to provide the boxing insight from a technical standpoint. Bernstein is a knowledgeable boxing guy, but his position at Showtime fills two spots that you get from HBO which usually carries a three man team. Both are good, but do different things. I prefer the team at HBO over Showtime anyday.

 

Showtime has ALWAYS been # 2, while HBO is # 1 all the way................... Not even Showtime's ringcard broads can sway me................ HBO generally has the better card / production.............

MR.BILL

 

Agreed with every word. :good

 

**** all the haters.. I am gonna MISS "Lamps & Merchant" after HBO releases and cans both men in the near future............. Jim and Larry will prolly be all done by 2012.........

Bob Papa, Max Kellerman and a former fighter / trainer will become the 3rd man on the microphone........ That's how my crystal ball see's it coming.........

MR.BILL

 

Lampley is more entertaining, but Bernstein brings better insight. If you're a bigger boxing fan I think you would prefer and appreciate Bernstein. Both have their value, though. The HBO team in general is better, though.
