For those who dont like Jim Lampley..

Hopkins-Tito, round 10.

 

I have a memory that it was in the Mayweather vs Chavez fight but don't know why....is that it?:think

 

We have a winner. :good

This was also the fight where Lampley said, "Hopkins, imposing his will and his skill". Don't know if this was the first time Lampley said, "Imposing his will and his skill" in a fight though. Probably not.

 

Damn.....nice one man:good

 

His voice is synonymous with championship boxing. A fight w/o Lampley's voice simply is not the same. His dramatic inflection and his enthusiasm are major assets, HOW-EVA...
one thing I can't stand about Jim Lampley is that he frequently calls punches that don't even land. Let's say that Manny Pacquiao lands a glancing right jab on Ricky Hatton's glove, Lampley's call would be something like this..."a HUGE left hook from Manny Pacquiao!" That little peeve aside, Lampley's the man!

 

If I thought hard enough I could come up with it. Barrera/McKinney or Morales/MAB I.

 

Classic Lampley hitting the nail on the head as the 2 warriors brutalised one another :happy

 

That is so true. As a play by play man, he's alright but his value is as a set up man. As soon as the show starts, he perfectly presents and sets everything up whether that's posing questions to his commentators.

 

My only problem with Lampley is his blatant sack swinging, but that aside, an excellent caller of the action.

 

I think Jim's great, and him teamed with Merchant and Steward is the best team in broadcast boxing. Papa, Kellerman, and Lewis is amatuer hour.

 

lampley is the best. Papa cant hold a candle to lampley.

 

He's biaised like all the HBO crew, but I agree that when he leaves we will miss him (Merchant too). Imagine in 5-6 years it's gonna be Papa & Kellerman, boxing will die for sure...
