Lampley was way out of line last night (on Margarito's "cheating")

People should be thankful Lampley is commentating. Would you guys rather have Lampley or Steve Farhood commentating?

I agree completely that Lampley was completely unprofessional and out of line that night. He had no right of making any accusations about something he didn't know any details about.

What made it sickening was that he immediately turned to the Cotto bout where he looked like a pansy cheerleader the whole time.

Almost as soon was Lampley broke the news of something (we're not sure exactly what yet) being removed from Margo's gloves, he straightaway went into "This HAS TO call into question Margarito's win over Cotto!!!" He was very irresponsible to do that. We don't even know the full details about this incident, and he's already proclaiming the Cotto fight being "tainted". If he was going to get riled up about something, it should've at least been the incident that just happened, the one that Margo is actually accused of. But instead, he glosses over this incident and completely fabricates another one and runs with it. Look at the pissed-off look on his face as he was discussing it, you could see the anger in his eyes. It's as if he's still steaming about Cotto getting upset (remember when he cried after the fight? LOL) and he's still desperately looking for any excuse to jump on.

Heck, why didn't he ask if he had cheated in other fights, period? Why was the Cotto fight the only one he mentioned and the only one he fixated on?

Not only that, but by implying (with no evidence whatsover) that Margo has "cheated" in other fights and thus is less of a fighter now without his "tools", he inadvertently took credit away from Mosley for his effort.

I'd love to see it come out somehow that the commission made a mistake and there was no illegal substance in Margo's gloves after all. That would make Lampley look like the ass of all asses (which he has always kinda been anyway IMO).

Lampley is a total tool IMO.

Why did he do that? Because Cotto was the latest HBO hype job Lampley and his fellow shills were pushing for their bosses, and Margarito upset their applecart.

HBO wanted revenge. It would not surprise me in the least if they set this whole thing up!
