Anyone Notice Jim Lampley During The Cotto-Pacquiao Fight?

Lampley is the best ever! Dude is flat out amazing.

I hate listening to Lamply when Barerra and Cotto are fighting. When margarito had Cotto on the ropes and landed like 6 uppercuts he said nothing, but a few seconds later Cotto lands a good right, and then he screams "tremendous shots by Cotto". He needs to chill.

There is nothing wrong with it but it reminds me of his love for De La Hoya. That's no secret though, Lampley loves Trinidad, Oscar, and Cotto. In Boxing, it's tough to be 100% objective because at the end of the day they're fans of the sport too (commentators). I remember seeing him tear up when Cotto got beat by Margarito. Merchant's been kinda like that with Pacquiao though as well as Pac was coming up. It's not an oddity. You're telling me you've never heard NBA commentators nut themselves over Wade, Lebron or Kobe??

yea he was badly pushing for a 9/9 round.. lol.. he's in love with cotto.

its color commentating

also after the 2nd knockdown, lampley said "...and it ruins the round as cotto was on his way to winning (the round)..." merchant (the pachugger that he is) was probably thinking, "ruin the round? pac is about to finish this dude had there been a few more seconds."

well he is but whats wrong in beeing a fan? the commentators are human to, the can like some fighters and dislike others i don't see anything wrong in that There is nothing wrong with it but it reminds me of his love for De La Hoya.

Another good one was "Cotto has Pacquiao against the ropes, roach doesn't think this a very good idea. Cotto Pounding away!!!!!!!!!!!" Pacquiao hits Cotto with a combination "Cotto can take the punch he's not being knock back.....and Cotto with a body shot!!!!"

Yer, he is biased towards Cotto when calling the blows and the fight. No doubt about that.
