During Trinidad-Vargas: Lampley: Kathy Duva is telling Fernando Vargas to take the full five minutes to recover from the low blow. Foreman: Can you imagine a woman is giving instructions? During Lewis-Grant: "That's it! He broke his leg!!!" Grant got up from the KD. After Mosley-De La Hoya 2 Foreman: Something funny is going on. Merchant: No, I don't think so. Foreman: Yeah but you don't know boxing Larry. You just see boxing and watch it. During Jones-Hall: Foreman: HBO's got the best. We got Larry Merchant, Jim Lampley. Harry Lederman, Hare...Harole...Harold..Is that it?
During Cotto vs Torres "The difference is that Torres can take Cotto's shots, Cotto can't take his". Before he finishes the sentence Cotto drops Torres with a right hand.
When Roy Jones came out to one of his fights (Telesco?) rapping: "Don't hate the player, hate the game" After Hamed-Sanchez: "HBO brings us everything. They brought us The Beatles on Ed Sullivan" After Shane Mosley stopped someone, I think Antonio Diaz: "Shane Mosley has the type of power we only see in the heavyweight division"

In the beginning of the Hopkins-Trinidad fight, Foreman said Hopkins needed to make Trinidad complain and look to the referee because "that referee's speach didn't impress me at all."
''i dont like the way the referee gave them instructions'' ''theres no way mosley gets the decision no siree''
When Trinidad was getting his hands wrapped before the Cherifi fightthey showed it in the locker room and george says "that is totally unacceptable. Way too much gause. You need for your opponent to be at risk of breaking his hands when he punches you
