While Merchant was hating on Martinez, Lampley would answer back in defense of Martinez, and Merchant would basically sound like he got owned and calmed down.
For example, in the 3rd round Merchant's "Uncertainty in Martinez's face" comment, Lampley answered back with "Well I see an uncertainty in both fighters faces, I don't see Macklin in any sort of command either".
Then Merchant says "Martinez is the champion, the 10-1 favorite, 3 KO's in a row, he called this fight a KO" *Lampley interrupts* "But does that mean that it would have supposed to come by now?".
Merchant: No, no it doesn't. Even he didn't say 3 rounds. Then Lampley mentions the Barker fight and how Martinez looked lousy at first but then still got the KO.
And Merchant ends it with "Point well taken".
Lampley: GOAT commentator, and underrated boxing intelligence. And this was not the first time he put Merchant in his place, just the most recent.
