Announcers on HBO tend to influence the judgement of viewers at home!

After Mosley admitting to being on something kind of makes you not care how bias they were in that fight.

 

Sky are pretty bad - sometimes Ian Darke is like a Hatton cheerleader.

The worst though was the McDermott Williams fight a few weeks ago - the nuthugging was so bad that even Johnny Nelson scored a fight to a white man.

FYI Nelson could be Robert Mugabe's love child the racism is that bad :deal

Ok - Williams could have gone in the fifth but showed amazing heart to get through and probably dominated most of the fight.

 

Another great example was/is...
Diego Corrales Vs. Justin Juuko, :scaredas: You would swear that Lampley was
calling a Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight instead...lol
Every other word out of his mouth was Mayweather Jr.

Corrales need's a jab Vs. a Mayweather jr.
Juuko had a limited training camp Vs. Mayweather jr....
Mayweather's "Straight lead right hand" would...
Mayweather dispatched Juuko a round earlier....
(I ain't gonna front, lampley made some good point's 'bout Floyd...
But why not try calling the action and the fighter's who are in the ring)

 

I thought Williams won that fight quite clearly and Jim Watt's commentary was terribly biased. The only controversy I can see is that Williams has three points deducted.

 

It was one of those fights where depending on your views, you could have had either fighter winning.

I had Williams just ahead - the point deductions were correct in number but for the wrong reasons. He should have been pinged for low blows much earlier, whilst the silly slap and gumshield incidents were harsh.

Sky have been pumping McDermott for quite a while, which I don't understand. The guy is a domestic stepping stone for up and comers, not fringe world class/Euro level fighters like a focused Danny Williams.

The Sky team seem to lack something - every journeyman is introduced as 'tough' yet he may have lost 50 of 55 fights, whilst young prospects get too much props for KO'ing bums and not enough for winning a tough 50-50 fight. Appleby vs Simpson was a good example. Young Appleby was moving up four or five levels in class and won a close fight - yet the reception was lukewarm at best. Had he blown away a chump in a round or two they would have been waxing lyrical.

That is where Setanta absolutely **** on Sky - they have some perspective.

 

most biased announcer I have ever heard is Colonel Bob Sheridan. He is a damn joke he is so biased.

 

I guess I have to watch the fight again. I was cheering for Tito that night and had a good amount of money riding on him and I still saw a virtual shutout by DLH. Even in some of the rounds where DLH was running, he was still outlanding Tito. I remember him landing double and triple jabs and the right hand at will. He had Tito busted up and bleeding all over the place.

IMO what happened that night is DLH had received some questionable decisions recently. The judges were scared to score any round for him in which he didn't completly embarrass tito so there was rounds in there that he was winning but were going to Tito out of fear from the judges of creating another scandal.

 

exactly:good thats why the commentary doesnt bother me

 

I have watched the fight many times and I can't see how Trinidad wins this.

The only rounds I gave Trinidad was 4 (very close), 11 and 12.

Round 10 could go either way but I feel DLH landed the better punches, but I could see someone giving it to Trinidad, I guess.

De La Hoya boxed beatifully. If it had been PBF in there people would be saying, "it's the sweet science", "hit and don't be hit, it's the name of the game", "smart bxoing gets no credit".

But DLH landed the cleanest punches through out the fight. The better combinations, and controlled the tempo of the fight.

Oscar had beatiful footwork through the 10th, and had stellar combinations through the 9th.

It wasn't a beating , but it was a boxing lesson Trinidad received.

 

Round 9 was all Oscar, and round 10 was close with Oscar landinig the combinations and cleaner punches.

 

IMO what happened that night is that DLH was afraid to get his Golden Ass kayoed, because he knew what guys like Feroz, David Reid, and William Joppy were about to find out. Thats why he ran like a *****. He didnt win every round. He won 3 rounds in a row, and Oscarsexuals across the nation were giving each other high fives.
