Merchant and Lampley gave Zab no credit. The knock down in the 2nd round nothing. Just b/c he wasnt a HBO sighed fighter. All the replys were PBF. It really made me sick. If yoel would have ran in the ring first they would have DQ Zab for sure. Plus if anything Zab hit floyd with they would say the punch was blocked ECT. Thats why they fired Gorger Foreman. He would say it how it was. Merchant was so Biased and I have never seen lampley so Biased in a fight.

I had the fight a draw. if you score the knock down zab should have got credit for.

How'd you score the fight? There's no way Zab won more than 4-5 rounds. 5 is stretching it.

I had it 8-4 PBF easily...

Its funny HBO didn't like Floyd not to long ago either. Sometimes HBO gets too biased, it gets annoying at times.

What you care what the 3 idiots from HBO think anyway. It doesn't bother me when the kiss ass of Gatti like no other fighter, just live with it.

Lennox wasnt kissing Floyds ass, Merchant was doing the most. It was funny how Lampley tried to sound cool when he was talkin about Jay-Z. "I was hip". :chairshot

How should he have said it? Let's talk to the runner up. Let's talk to the second place finisher. Let's talk to the guy that almost won but didn't quite make a good enough showing.

i wanted to slap merchant so hard. he was bashing zudah and when zap would land a good shot he'd be like oh 3 missed or theyre grazing or its nothing. in round 4 mayweather got caught with some good shots. i wanted zab to win just so merchant would look like a fool talking to him in the ring. i want merchant fired.

I'm not a big Merchant fan but he does say some **** that will make you smile and scratch your head at the same time. Zab got dominated.

theres no doubt about it that Floyd dominated after the 4 or 5th round. But when Zab was winning the fight Larry MerchANT always had an excuse to bash Zab.

If Larry don't like you he don't pull no punches. **** Larry and Zab.

i want merchant fired.Without Larry Merchant HBO will suck, most of the times Merchant says some stupid things, but I do enjoy listing to him, maybe I'm used to his voice or something, he's by far the best guy on HBO or Showtime.

Both Hopkin Taylor fightsWrong, just watch some Gatti or Wlad fights from the past, then you will see how biased Lamply can be. I think in Hopkins fights he was neutral, he was biased towards both Hopkins & Taylor.

Before the fight it "flawless vs. jawless" and after the fight Merchant was still unwilling to give zab any props even though he did give Mayweather a tough test in the early rounds. Granted Mayweather completely dominated later on but he still struggled early and was forced to adapt and find a way to deal with Zab. Once he did though it was all over and Zabs character flaws came into play.

I think the fact that Larry Merchant gave Zab no credit after the fight was not because he was unwilling to praise Zab but more because he didnt want to be wrong...and he was slating Zab pretty bad before the fight.

Why do you hate Zab so much? Yeah he's resorted to low tactics and is immature as **** but your hatred seems slightly irrational to me. You didn't even see the fight but you're still on every thread *****ing about him...why?

hbo's boxing commentary would be enhanced with the removal of merchant and the addition of bernstein, atlas, or even farhood. merchants illogical analogies only make me laugh at how moronic they are and thats after alot of beers.

Laughed at by who? Yeah he can be a cunt but he mostly just embarasses himself. He's only one guy after all and you seem to be getting pretty worked up about him.

Ahhhh!!! That explains it all then. I thought you might be his spurned lover or something the way you were getting so angry about him...Carry on hating then... Creating orphans is just wrong.

Merchant never like Judah and he never will. I don't know why Judah would ever give a interview to merchant. Merchant bad mouths this guy at every chance. If I didn't know any better you would think merchant of DiegoFuego. Merchant likes the old school fighters and doesnt like this "street thug" in judah.

Would you have preferred if they introduced him as "the man who had fewer points than the man he was boxing with tonight...Zab Judah"?

What is there to like about Judah? Seriously. He gives ****ty interviews, can't put 5 words together to save his life, fights dirty, blames other people for his shortcomings, underacheives and is a daddy's boy.
Other than that he's a swell guy.

if you are in Merchants position, you are not suppose to be biased in your statements. IF judah did anything well he wouldn't say anything about it
