    R.I.P.

    The only one at HBO who kept it real about the two Canelo-GGG fights

    He had both fights 116-112 for Golovkin

    RIP Mr. Lederman.

    I read he absolutely loved the sport and would watch as many fights as possible, even when he wasn't judging them.

    With respect to all who have died before him, this 10 second count of silence will hurt the most.

    Maybe HBO moving away from boxing gave him nothing to do and at his age that is the KISS OF DEATH

    “It was one of the greatest privileges of my broadcasting career to work with Harold Lederman, whose unique humanity and lifelong love of boxing brought joy to the hearts of millions of fans, show after show after show.

    They waited for his moments, they were thrilled by his insights, they gloried in imitating his voice. No one in the sport had more friends, because no one in the sport was more deserving of friends. As deeply saddened as I am by his passing, I am equally deeply joyful that he made it to the final bell on December 8. Nothing was more important to the legacy of HBO Boxing, so in that we can all take solace.

    Now his scorecard is complete.”

    — James Lampley

    JL is extremely poetic. What a fitting tribute.
