Pharaoh- This reminds me of Rahman/Maskaev 2, Merchant had a panic attack when the ref kept warning Maskaev for holding, it was pretty funny as well.
I'm going to sorely miss Merchant when he finally retires. A HBO big fight just isn't the same without his hilarious drunken lines and hyperbole.
I love Max, he is legend in the making, I like when his eyes bug out when he's doing an interview with a black fighter, the guy looks like he's having an orgasm in his pants(RJJ interview)
Foreman: "If lucas could land one good shot he could turn this whole thing around" Merchant: "George, he has 12 knockouts in 34 fights, he doesnt have any good shots"
Jim Lampley: "How does a fighter like Bruseles get a shot at a fighter like Mayweather?" Lary Merchant:" Well...I guess the woman Floyd usually spar's with was busy."
" The best part of that round was their boxing trunks" after the 1st round of Ausitn vs. Vorapin where they both had fancy trunks.
PBF vs Castillo II: "Mayweather took me out of the fight too Jim" lol " I dont' wanna see the tour de france or the tour of las vegas" lol
I always feel happy knowing I've lived during the time of Larry Merchant. Him and Lampley are awesome at their jobs.
When Wladimir fought the Cuban exile Eliseo Castillo: "Castillo has used his arms more in paddling than boxing"
