answer me this? before this fight was made it was widely believed clottey basically had a punchers chance. it was widely understood his work rate wasn't high enough and he didnt possess the punching power to stop pacman. yet in still the 3 stooges (lampley, steward, kellerman) somehow failed to adress this all night. they were calling this fight as if clottey had beat cotto. as if clottey had beat margarito, as if this wasnt exactly what was predicted when the fight was made. the way clottey fought this fight is EXACTLY WHY he got the fight in the first place. he doesnt punch enough, and when he does his arsenal is limited. anyone who knows anything about clottey knows this. i do believe boxing could use positive press. what i dont subscribe to is selling the sport at all costs. journalism that lacks perspective is not journalism. its propoganda.

Nice rant.

I have always thought lampley was bad but last night may be his all time worse performance. That bang bang bang thing he was saying when pac man was not even landing most of those shots was the single worse moment in the history of boxing commentary.
