    Spot on lads, that ''I'm from a rough estate'' stuff pisses me. First and foremost you probably was always fed, had a roof over head and clothes on back. They probably had central heating and mum and dad had a car. You see pictures of them as kids and they got adidas tracksuits on.

    Not all estates are run down and shabby, some are better then some streets in the UK. It's a common sterotype to say ''he's from a estate, must be tough''. It's not the bricks and malter what make the man a fighter it's what he's been through and how bad he wants it..

    Adam Smith trying to claim that Gary Sykes was brought up in one of the worst estates in the UK was cringeworthy stuff.

    Dewsbury Moor ain't great, but it's not even in the top 10 roughest areas in the West Yorkshire area.

    Nowhere near actually.

    Lampley's bias for the Pacquiao-Bradley fight was unbearable. calling imaginary shots for Pacquiao that didn't land, Pacquiao would throw a left to the head and two to the body that all missed only for Lampley to proclaim "4 left hands land for manny!" he was terrible in that fight.

    Don't know their names but the guy that commentated Mayweather/Ortiz on Primetime and just decided to change Mayweather's nickname to 'the Black Widow' :rofl. Then went mental saying he had a 'premonition' that Cortez would affect the fight, all he did was as McCullough what he thought of him.

    Also the commentary for Mayweather/Cotto, might have been Lampley, basically saying Floyd was toying with Miguel, by letting him land punches. I was ****ing raging duiring that fight, so biased and plain stupid.

    Bradley still didn't win by any objective scoring criteria.

    People try and make out Pacman vs Bradley was a one sided beating..? Pacman looked ****, Bradley made him look ordinary.

    Bradley's display was commendable. The damage to his feet would of seen lesser men pull out but that boy is ridiculously determined.

    I don't recall saying he did? :think

    That's got nothing to do with Lampley calling punches for Pacquiao that didn't land.

    Yeah i sadly had to deal with Benny Ricardo but i saw the clips of Lampley cheering punches that missed and blanking Bradley's work.

    Sad that commentators allow there personal feelings to come into there work like that. I felt the fight was closer then many do on here, Bradley rallied well in later rounds.

    I said at the time if you had listened to that fight on the radio with Lampley as a commentator you would probably think Bradley had just suffered the worst beating in boxing history.

    HBO should of fired Lampley after that fight.

    How the **** Lampley kept his job after that fight I do not know. it still pisses me off to this day, I ain't a Bradley fan whatsoever but for ****sake he didn't get a fair deal in that fight at all, the guy did a lot of good work in that fight and it was ignored.
