"The Fight Game" Thoughts

.........lol

 

Bradley is a terrible interview... guy can't speak for ****

 

the whole canelo vs ggg talk is a big joke.

 

He's Top Ranks best cheerleader, I would rather listen to Kellerman or boxing voice any day.

 

lol :happy

 

Lampley is an idiot, but "The Fight Game" is primarily intended for non boxing fans, to get them interested in the sport.

As such, I think it's great. All that time devoted to topics that make the sport interesting, and Lampley, despite his lack of actual boxing knowledge, has a great voice & energy. He's very good at keeping you listening.

This series is sure to bring new fans to the sport. Exactly what we need.

 

I doubt non fans would watch, casuals want to see fighting not talking.

 

Casuals still flip the channels to sports shows to see what to look out for.

 

I'm all for building the sports-Alvarado Maidana-Lopez, Canelo-Trout and great promos would work much better than fight game

 

Any casual who turned that show on would have switched channels to a different sport and not come back for a while. It was all pissing and moaning about the state of the game and the network wars. Plus a terrible interview with Bradley.

One thing to watch out for though...going forward Bradley is going to be a dick. He's figuring out that the nice guy stuff gets him shat on by interviewers. You could sense his discomfort with what Lampley was saying to him. At one point it was something like "What do you say to those, myself included, who absolutely refuse to give you any credit for that decision over Pacquiao???" At that point you could see the thought of going off on him go through Bradley's mind. I wish he had. Bradley is going to step up soon.

It was a terrible show. I don't turn on CNN to hear them talk **** on MSNBC. Or to hear them talk about the ratings war between CNN and Fox or whatever. People don't care about that ****. Only hardcore fans care because we know it's important as far a bringing us the fights we want. Casuals are just like wtf I want to see people fight.

 

It was ok until Lampley said that Marquez's knockout over Pacquiao made people reevaluate the Pacquiao/Bradley fight. Who the fukk did that? What is he smoking? Pacquiao getting KO'd changes absolutely nothing about what happened in the Bradley fight, a robbery remains a robbery. It felt like he was told by HBO to suck up to Bradley now that their big star Pacquiao has fallen. Disgusting.

And this show only covers fights that take place in the US involving known fighters, it's not a proper boxing results/preview show. You can watch much more informative shows on Youtube made by fans. Fight Game is pathetic.

 

What was your score card, and was Pacquiao-Marquez 3 a robbery

 

Man I would have went off saying Lampley was biased toward Pacquiao

 

Lampley says some innaccurate things sometimes, but I like his energy and enthusiasm whenever commentating on fights. He just puts a nice vibe on fights with his tone. Larry Merchant on the other hand is not enthusiastic but his post-fight interviews are for the most part good.
