I gotta say, Kellerman was great on Cotto/Margarito... Lampley couldn't be more bias.

    I tough from the start of the fight that Kellerman was making some great points, and was predicting the outcome from round 3, whenever he spoke it made a lot of sense and you knew he was right, Unlike Lampley who keeped giving Cotto credit even when Margarito was getting the best out of him.

    I was really dissapointed with the way Lampley called that fight and it seems to a pattern for him in recent fights... he usually tries to make the favorite, more marketable fighter seem like his winning,

    Kellerman was great and I know he gets a lot of **** from fans but this guy keep impresing me more and more with his comentary every fight.

    Yeah I agree... Especially how he was saying that Margarito is like a wall that keeps on closing in no matter when Cotto does to push it back and that is suffocating Cotto.

    It was exactly like that.

    But Lampey's voice and presence just made the whole night feel great.

    He is not always right, remember Calzaghe vs Kesssler ? I think it was round 4 or 5 where Steward was saying Calzaghe is beginning to pick up the pace and that Kessler would had problem, Kellerman said something like *I dont have that impression Emanuel*.

    It was ****ed up when HBO showed Cottos crying wife and family at the end. Very uncalled for

    Fair game.


    Lampley's bias in the Marquez-Pacquio II fight was just as bad. Around the 10th round saying "No shame in stopping the fight" because of a cut around Marquez's eye. He was scared.

    Exactly......in round 11 of that fight, Lampley begrudgingly is noncommital on a clear as day round that all three judges scored for JMM, yet toward the end of that round, Lampley says that JMM winning that round was "iffy!":rofl:rofl:rofl
    ......not to mention that during or right before that 11th round Lampley had said that JMM seemingly needs a KO to win!:patsch:nut

    Larry Merchant at the start of the 12th round proclaims he has the fight 6-5 in favor of JMM, then at the end of the 12th who Lampley who had ridden Pacquiao's balls all night had called clear for JMM, Merchant proclaims the fight to have been a draw!:lol::lol::lol:

    ....just nonsense stuff like that throughout the whole night of both those fights.

    the end broadcasting of that PPV was just as bad

    Lampley was talking as though it was the end of boxing that night.

    They also did it during the Mayorga-Mosely fight. They were pretty much making fun of Mayorga's style as if he was getting destroyed when he was winning rounds.
