I'm getting tired of listening to this guy commentate. He always thinks he knows what's going to happen before it actually happens. And when the outcome does not match his prior prediction, he starts making excuses.
He's also biased as all hell and unlike George Foreman and Roy Jones, I don't learn shizzle about the sport of boxing when he commentates.
Can we please get an intelligent ex-boxer on the HBO staff to commentate the damn fights? LOL! Is that asking too much?
Lennox is actually worse than Emmanuel. His commentating is atrocious, but I can tolerate Lennox b/c he doesn't come off as a know-it-all jackass like Steward.
I wish they could get Roy Jones back. I always felt like I learned more about the sport when I listened to Roy (and George) call the fights with Lamps and Merchant.
Steward was saying how Clottey was dominating the fight in the first round, and acted as though Clottey was never on the mat. While Clottey was falling Manny was still talking about how he was controlling the fight.
He acted as though Cotto had no chance from the opening bell. I would be afraid to have Steward as a trainer if he liked the guy I was fighting more, he would tell me to give up at the weigh in.
Steward said that he had clottey on every round after the ko till rd 11!!! WTF?? How could you possibly not give Cotto rd 6?
Bring back Roy! If not Bhop, I second all ya'll and that was some horrible Clottey licking going on. I thought it was flawless watching floyd videos on youtube.
Manny can get a bit annoying but he acts like a know it all because he is the man knows more about boxing than 99% of the people that post on these boards will ever know.
Yeah? The SAME Emanuel Steward that gave a detailed analysis as to why Andy Lee would completely wreck Kelly Pavlik?
Just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same Emanuel Steward.....lol

Whats worse is that alot of times even if the outcome does not match his prediction, he changes up and says "this went exactly as I expected". lol
It cracks me up that there are at least a half dozen retards in this thread who don't even realize his last name is StewarD with a "D" at the end.
How many hundred times have you dipshits got on here and talked about how stupid Manny StewarT is? I bet you if he was gonna take the time to diss you on an internet forum he would at least spell your name correctly.
I tell you one thing, he could fart more boxing knowledge than you morons will ever acquire so long as you walk the earth. Not only is he articulate, well spoken and good at what he does, he also sh*ts all over you guys as a human being.
who here thinks he would ever root for a white guy?
He openly supported Gatti against Mayweather, after Floyd made a comment about Bhop being boring.
Anyways, I usually like Stewart but he really seemed biased toward Clottey, and at the same time, Lampley was sucking Cotto off the whole night. I wish Max didn't have a voice problem that night, because he's usually spot on with his assesments.
Honestly, if Lampley ever rooted against the house fighter, I would be shocked.
He's an awful play by play guy. Some people like him because he's dramatic and all that jazz, but he can't call a fight for shit.
Precisely, well put!

I like Steward, the bottom line is if you go watch the fights in which he commentates, he is often correct in his predictions of the fight. I think he and Merchant and Jones are the better commentators that HBO has had. You have to remember that he has trained and still does train top boxers (Tyson in the past, Cintron, Wlad Klitschko, Jermaine Taylor) so he has seen a lot in the ring.
I guess sometimes he can sound like a know it all but at least he speaks his mind like Merchant and does not lick the sacks of the fighters that HBO promotes like Lampley does. Lampley is only real after the fights are over once he has sold the HBO guy during the fight's broadcast. Kellerman gets on my nerves at times but he is getting better at being more fair in his commentating he often rides fighters rods instead of calling the fight he is on TV for.
No, Manny just pointed out when Clottey was doing well. He was fair to Cotto at the end.
Kellerman wasn't being fair to Cotto, he was openly rooting for Clottey.
Funny how you never mention Lampley and who he obviously "roots for". Kellerman has never been that bad.
r u serious????? he had clotteys balls deep in his throat the whole fight:boxing:
No, he just didnt have Cotto's balls in his throat like you and Jim Lampley. This was a repeat of Margarito-Cotto when Lampley was cheerleading while Kellerman and Stewart called the fight the way it should have been called.
Chris Byrd did some fights on BDSSP, he was good.
James Toney from a few years ago would have been my pick..he's not as easy to understand anymore. If you watched the riddick Bowe Vs Billy Zumbrum fight were James did color, it was hillarious.

Steward was telling the truth, lamply went into cheer leader mode and brought out him pom poms, and sounded like he was going to cry and wanted to see Cotto quit based on his cut and go to the cards. Dude is a fagg.
Steward damn sure was telling the truth.. he even said " i dont see how any judge can have cotto winning this fight" that was the 7th or 8th rd i believe.. than at the end of the fight.. seems like they told emanuel to get back on the wagon.. Steward than started saying he fell in love with cotto in this fight.. pure bs
whats getting annoying is lampley's outer space comments like" thats true manlove"QUOTE]
that shiet had me lmfao!!!!! :439: "manlove" who the fock says that???
