Never thought...........

I'd be so happy to hear Jim Lampley's voice....

It's been years of abysmal commentary, and this takes me back to the good ole days of HBO boxing!

 

I take Barry Tompkins over Lampley. Barry didn't talk as much as Jim, and didn't come across as a know-it-all like Jim.

 

It's true. The new fighter and/or celebrity heavy commentary teams both dumb down the sport and make it seems trashier and less grand IMO.

I think Chris Algieri would be great if he got on with some of the bigger shows.

 

Agreed.

 

hope he can have some more gigs soon

 

I hope he takes over DAZN
Better then Todd Grisham

 

Pay him what it takes..

 

Jim's voice was the highlight of the card.

 

what about Tarver?

 

I agree. The good old days. Lamply and Merchant. It was really awesome. Merchant really knew how to break down a fight. Plus he nearly got in a fist fight with Floyd Mayweather, live, on HBO. I'll never forget that.

 

Can't speak English.

Decent color commentary otherwise though

 

The fight was awful, but hearing Lampley and seeing Neit ringside just made it a tad magical.

 

Jim's voice was the best thing about the card

 

Al Bernstein/Jim Lampley would be such a good combo

 

It felt like a big fight again
