I thought Larry was alcoholic and Jim was just a sucker and a guy who can't lose against women. There's no doubt Jim loves some fighters and boxing, happens that he may not have the right ideas and then he gets shocked live on TV. He will get over this Cotto loss.
i dont see the big deal... i think its touching actually. Hes obviously a deep person and so effects him deeply such moving things, If you were moved by seeing Cotto getting battered and destroyed, and with his kids and wife weeping ringside, then its the same thing, he just got moved more so.
He wasn't getting emotional because of the fight. He gets caught up for no reason at odd times. That's why it's funny.
Yeah i posted Jim Lampley getting emotional after the Cotto v Mosley fight. But it is good, shows passion. I like what he says in this video.. "Reaching deep" "Now Roy Jones become's RJ..!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HigWa8-ZHM8
last fight night...lampley was about to break down cuz REMEMBER , around the time margarito won, he got a call that one of the staff members, a good friend of his, was dieing from lukemia...if thats how u spell it...
I love comments like that. I like it when he saids, "Hard right hand by Hopkins." about a million times against Jermain Taylor.
Another assinine thread poking astick in Lampley's eye because the guy has a good heart. :huh :-( :verysad I just don't get it. WTF is wrong with some people in this world, I mean really? The guy was close personal friends with Jim McKay, a broadcasting legend, and while talking about him got choked up. BIG FUCCING DEAL! He's absolutely allowed to. He's human... and cares aout his friends. God help us, right? :huh What an awful thing that a notable sports broadcaster is actually a good guy that cares about others. You can't make this shyt uo sometimes, I swear.
The best was Ronald Winky Wright vs Jermaine Taylor..i think it was this fight... "Ronald Winky Wright is a semi - mobile armoured tank, that occassionl lets Rockets go...!" Out of nowhere, passionate comments like this just appear with Jim Lampley..
