HBO Commentators....

It was awful and I imagine it had to sway some folks to think it was wider than it was.

 

In one clinch they even said that it was bradley holding when it was clearly pacquiao!

 

I agree somewhat but not to the extent that they would attempt to purposely mislead viewers. it serves no purpose. viewers value the action that a fighter can generate. that's what keeps them coming back.

 

it sounds like you think bradley won the fight.

 

It did I'm sure... People should definitely watch it again with the sound off.. HBO gave Bradley almost no credit all fight for any body work or combos.. Kellerman mentioned a good exchange once in a while, while Lampley was only talking about the Pacquiao punches landed in the exchange. Steward mentioned both fighters blocking punches very well right as/after Lampley was giving Pacquiao credit for a punch blocked by Bradley as he reluctantly agreed. (I laughed). When Pacquiao was 'taking time off' during the first few minutes of rounds and Bradley landed they were either silent or carried on conversations about other things.. Pacquiao won the fight but the HBO bias was terrible. Closer fight than they lead people to believe, and their scorecard was too wide.

 

I agree with everything you've said OP. Last night was particularly painful to listen to, they were jacking off furiously to everything manny did in there last night, and didn't say **** whenever Timmeh did anything good. I don't know WHY the **** HBO keeps these old decrepit clowns. Even Kellerman was fapping like crazy with this "Pacquiao is the greatest fighter of this generation" nonsense he spewed about 3 times. Bring in some new guys, their cast seriously needs a revamp.

 

Couldn't agree more.

 

This is how they always calls their fights. I've noticed that since 2007.

 

Guys...just hit the mute button. Simple and effective. I have not heard Leddermans voice in YEARS.

 

Even Roach said Bradley was durable,they did exaggerate the power.. I think Bradley would have got on his bike if he could not at least handle Pac's power,even though he clearly was the stronger one.. You heard every time Pac landed and hardly when Tim landed,got a taste of his own medicine..

 

Did you hear him call the female judge ******ed?

 

he needed a wheelchair after the fight. close enough.

 

That was before the fight was it not?


Im not a great fan of Pac(well not since he fought Cotto anyway) but he won that fight. Pretty obvious Bob wanted a definite rematch.

 

yeah, he also said his daughter should have been brought in to replace her.

 

Did not watch this bout.....I have been seriously disgusted with ppv travesties so I don't pay for boxing anymore. Somehow robberies are easier to digest if they are free.
