Always loved the HBO commentary, Lampley, Jones & Merchant for the Barrera-McKinney fight. Roy was clearly partial to McKinney, but as the fight went on he seemed to come around because that fight was a war.

1. naseem hamed vs kevin kelly - perfect commentary by lampley, foreman and larry.
larry: hamed is supposed to have some power of his own with his quickness, we havnt seen the evidence as of yet
lampley: ohhh down goes kelly, theres the power!!
later on, foreman: you dont want to be mixing up with kelly because he can punch
lampley: down goes hamed!!
2. margarito vs cotto 1 - steward from round 1 was saying how difficult it will be for cotto to handle the pressure and size, boy was he right.

Manny kept saying that Cotto couldn't keep punching and moving against someone like Margy and that although Cotto was hitting Margy more, Margys one shot out of 3 were hurting Cotto more. Great stuff.
Also Lampley in Pac v Barrera when after the first 4 rounds or so, Lampley started to talk up Pac's chances of becoming a star, he could see the end was near for MAB.
