    I REALLY dont care for Lampley's "BAM" "BAM", even worse was in the fight vs Clottey where he did that for a full minute?

    Steward's inability to say Rigondeaux (he was obviously NOT familiar with the name, sadly) was very pitiful. Remember he's not a "professional analyst", he's a legendary trainer. I still love him.

    Max Kellerman & Lampley making cuts at Mayweather was pretty unprofessional and very biased & opinionated. Their frustrations about the subject was very apparent...

    d00d - YOU ARE AMAZING!
    take a step back and ACTUALLY check out what you doing. You are attacking/discrediting Pacquiao in a thread NOT EVEN related to him....
    i honestly pity you, brutha - cant even step into a subject w/o expressing some sort of hate towards Pac

    Mebbe ya outta take a hard look at yourself.... KEEP IT REAL, BRO

    I've always liked HBOs coverage.

    However I watched the Sky Sports coverage and it more than did the job. I'd have preferred Jim Watt on both commentary teams though. :deal

    And I love the way these guys for the casual boxing fan would bring up the way Floyds avoiding or waiting for Manny is the same way SRL waited for Hagler to slow down.

    Now this might be true, but. Ive never seen anyone ridiculed like Floyd last night and Merchant wasnt even there lol.

    Think about it, Floyd got more criticism last night than Margarito.

    I personally think Mosely may have heavier hands but it's not as clear cut as some make it out to be

    This thread was about last night's fight.

    Pay attention to Cotto's feet in the knockdowns. Him being knocked down had moar to do with balance issues and emmanuel's timing.

    Mosley had enough RAW POWER to KNOCK margarito down twice!

    They were trying to give Rios crap for being in their words "fat and out of shape" while saying he had a right to be since the fight was made on short notice. You can't have it both ways.

    emmanuel is clearly faster than Mosley at this point in their careers.

    Another **** move by HBO was blatantly saying over & over how much heavier Margarito was than Pac...
    (Even making sure to announce it several times thru the entire telecast & surprise surprise the day of weight mysteriously shows up!!!)

    What happened to the JMM Vs. Mayweather day of?
    (I guess it didn't fit their agenda)

    Thats right:lol: Like we couldnt see the size difference. The only thing they said that made sense last night was that Rigondeaux sucks ass.

    Weren't they saying Mayweather vs JMM was a mismatch? marg had absolutely no skills to trouble emmanuel, but no one dared mention that it was a mismatch
