    He probaly will, but the people watching the international broadcast and press row won't be hearing that so can't be affected by it, like in the first fight.

    I still have to hear that commentary, was it really that biased?

    Yes it was that bad, almost as bad as the infamous "Bang, Bang" in Pac-Clottey

    There were several rounds were Pac through hardly any punches, Bradley doing decent work for the majority of the round, last 20 seconds Pac throws a wild flurry, Bradley moves, ducks, spins, dodge, gets out the way. Lampley calls every thing a landed punch and then says Pac won the round. That's the first fight in a nutshell..

    lol this is true Lampley is terrible, as is HBO with their bias commentary usually bling to punches from fighter they are not hyping while Lampley comes in his pants for every punch their fighter lands...

    True story.

    For the record, I didn't think it was a robbery. It was a close fight. I had it a draw.

    Often said by Jim 'boom, bang' Lampley as Pacquiao threw and missed with a right and then got tagged twice by Bradley.

    Ringside commentator's have such a big effect on the opinion of a fight outcome I don't believe they should be allowed to call specifics. Especially networks like HBO/Showtime who have vested interests in one fighter or the other. They should be mandated to add words like "attempts, appears, looks to have" in reference as to whether shots thrown landed or not. Basically, something to let it be known they are not definitively saying something did or did not land until replay.

    And they definitely should not state who they believe won a round or not. I don't believe it's any coincidence that once a single ringside commentator jumps on the boat of a fighter, that the other's follow suit (they've got to get along) and often times the audience, no matter who they may be will follow suit if it falls in line with a fighter they like or dislike. Even other independent sources calling a fight are easily influenced by ringside commentator's, as no ne likes to look like an idiot and so they will typically go with what the ringside guys are saying.

    I think this is the reason so many people thought Herrera "dominated" Danny Garcia.
