Was HBO as shamefully pro-Taylor as i anticipated?

ya they do it way too much but ofcourse the one that stands out in my mind is Morales-Pac man they were goin wild for pacs missing flurries and sloppy ass punches but who can blamem Dayum man, I see no improvement on yer face. Keep on usin that ProActive shyt and maybe them pimples will go away along wit that cookin oil apprantly on yer face.

hell yea they was pro taylor ..taylor wasn't connecting clean and hopkins hit him with sharp quick short counters counters and hbo wouldn't say shit...only roy quietly in th shadows Leave it to an ex-fighter to show the old warriors still in the game some respect. Lampley, merchant and the suits at HBO treat the fighters like merchandise...out with the old, in with the new. In baseball that's fine, in boxing it's wrong and disrespectful, considering the risks these old fellas are taking.

I think Jones was actually laughing at some of Merchants jokes during the fight, so not this time. I agree, this time they behaved themselves. The only thing really was when larry reminded jones that nard was running out of time/rd's and that he should start boxing instead of waiting to try and ko him. Both larry and jim pointed that out a time or two.

This is another idiot that haven't seen the fight. But you know who won the fight. You little bitch, you make me sick. Gnostic is asking these questions because he hasn't seen the fight. All he is saying that he expected the HBO telecast to be pro Taylor like they are in other fights. DAMN YOUR AN IDIOT!

DId Jones and Merchant ever get into an uncomfortable exchange? That's wlways something to look forward to.

The HBO cheerleaders were at full force. Lampley was making me sick with phantom punches that Taylor was landing. Merchant we know already doesn't like Hopkins & was taking digs at him all night till Hopkins turned the heat on Taylor & that's when the commentary was quiet from him & Lampley.

Stop making the same threads about the same thing over and over again, how about that as a start? How bout i take one of those two plastic belts and shove it up your ass. :)

Any judge that should be question is Jerry Roth, He had Hopkins winning by 116-112. Jerry Roth has many strange scores since he's been judging. Roth should be investigated. All of you nutt-huggers should stop making excuses. Taylor is the new champion. Not Hopkins. That's not the point of this thread. Stop hijacking threads. Your trying to start an argument with a ghost.

Usually, they make me sick with their bias. I had a friend that doesnt like boxing at all watching it....after it was over, I asked him "do you think those commentators showed any bias towards either fighter...and if so, which one"...he said "maybe a little, toward that old guy-whats him name?". The only one that sounded the least pro-taylor was harold and that was when he was explaining his scores between rds. To hear Jones talk, poor ole taylor was being schooled, and b-hops inactivity in the first half was 'pure planned genius'...he kept to that theory until lampley finally informed him that hopkins was running out of rds in which to fully execute his so called "plan"!

ya they do it way too much but ofcourse the one that stands out in my mind is Morales-Pac man they were goin wild for pacs missing flurries and sloppy ass punches but who can blamem Yeah, i forgot how gung ho(e) they were for Pac in the early stages of thqat fight...thinking that pacman was going to mop the mat with Morales due to each of their last fights.

First, it was MGrant, then WKlitchko and now it is JTaylor. The extent to which these whores on HBO promote their "chosen" FIGHTERs is an embarrasment to the sport and to the idea of objective sports broadcasting in general. I had read the article on the front page of this site where he discusses this issue in depth. Is it your opinion that his observastions about the Taylor bias was as pronounced as stated in the piece? It definitely was! Punches that Taylor threw that did not land were recognized by yells. But counters & Hopkins great defense were not recognized at all. All they would say was how can Hopkins win rounds not throwing punches. Almost as good of a question as how can Taylor win rounds by throwing & not landing anything. Makes me wonder if HBO or DI BELLA HAD THERE HANDS IN THAT ONE JUDGES POCKETS? To score the last round for Taylor was ridiculous, while giving some of the early close rounds to Hopkins was not.
