HBO bum Announcers!

I miss Larry Merchant, Lampley exaggerates sometimes when there is action, Stewards knows boxing. But somebody needs to tell Emmanuel that his confusing Filipinos with Thais, heard on the stream that Manny again refered Concepcion with big calves due to kickboxing.

Why do the announcers make all of you fill with rage?

they were terrible, they stopped talking everytime margarito landed punches because they didnt want to give him any credit at all. it was amazing how bad lampley and kellerman were. when tony doubled over cotto in the second round with body shots they said nothing about it, it was insane. Well said .

all their Mayweather hating turned them crazy. I think Kellerman is the only one who likes Mayweather and even he probably wanted to see Cotto smash him. They all had their dreams ruined when Margarito showed them Cotto wasn't anything special after all. Margarito got no love all night from the announcers .

Completely disagree. They are horrible when compared to Steve Albert and Al Bernstein. Bernstein is the most knowledgeable guy in the sport today. Albert always has good calls. Neither of them ever shows a bias either. I will give them their due... they have their moments but I hate Grey with a fire of a thousand suns. I hate him when he covers the NBA and then Showtime hires him. :grumble: It is like making a brownie and within the ingredients you add a little bit of crap. He ruins it for me. Love Lampley or hate him, I think he has given of the best lines in boxing during the fight. I don't care that he is biased. I also like the fact that he creams over the sport alot. He might be an emotional mess at times but I think that is a reflection of his love of this great sport. No where else do you get someone so invested in a sporting event.

They all had their dreams ruined when Margarito showed them Cotto wasn't anything special after all. Is there anything sadder than a paranoid Mayweather fan? To imagine he was responsible for the commentary of a fight he wasn't in or even at. Flomomania at its worst.

They are better than Showtime and good lord I hate Jim Grey.

Imagine if the bout was being judged by the way the announcers call it, every single round will be for Cotto except for the last 2 rounds...

I honestly don't try to critique the announcer's very much, even though I agree Lampley can be biased to certain fighters. It seems after big fights though that usually there are always some people that are bitching about the announcers.

I thought Max and Manny did very good jobs. Lampley was shit and was commenting on Cotto's misses and ignoring Margarito's connects. I agree 100% with every word of this.

we demand larry merchant
