    The new Larry Merchant and Jim Lampley? How do they compare to previous commentators?

    Neither of them is in Lampley’s role.

    I like both better than Merchant. I don’t like either as much as Steward or Kellerman or Jones.

    I think having two fighters on the team results in them not disagreeing with each other.

    Lampley was the lead, like Osuna tonight or Mauro on Showtime or Brian Kenny on DAZN.

    Merchant was able to articulately express his thoughts, no?

    Yes but he actually was not a true boxing fan. He didn’t know enough about the fighters and generally wanted everything to be Gatti/Ward or else he would hate on it.

    I liked Kellerman way better because he respects different styles and knows boxing history.

    Kellerman was born a shill, nothing more, nothing less.

    Ward's a dummy that has studied boxing idioms.

    Merchant was an old wannabe boxer with an extreme bias that he could not contain.

    Yeah, he's pretty dumb. Basic, unoriginal observations. But he has a farcical knowing tone of voice.

    Kellerman is a shill, but at least he's intelligent.

    He was a cheerleader with no actual experience

    You may hate ward but he gives reasons insight from his experience as a fighter
