HBO fair and balanced fight commentary

Yep, Steward was disgraceful( never liked Stewards commentary anyway ) and Lampley was Lampley

LOL Merchant didn't talk at all during the last 2 or 3 rounds....he was completely silent, and visibly sad during postfight interviews.

 

When announcers repeat the line "It's Hatton's style of fight" or something along those lines, then never actually say what PUNCHES are being landed, rest assured that they are not LOOKING for hat punches are being landed.

That's been a style in HBO commentary for a while. They're more apt to point out someone's pattern of movement, or the comfort/discomfrt on their faces, instead of what is being landed and missed in terms of punches.

You know, the IMPORTANT stuff.

 

The HBO crew was pro Hatton and anti Mayweather last night.

 

Correct, HBO seems extremely biased. I watched the PBF/ODLH fight at an extremely loud outside bar. Yesterday was the first time I re-watched on HBO and I was surprised at their bias. Same goes for last night.. what a mess.

I also like Bernstein, but the downside is that annoying Jim Gray. They need to lose that jerk.

 

Jim Gray is such a jerk, that i actually like watching his train-wreck interviews.
