Roy Jones bleeds intelligence about boxing and he can disect every move about every fighter and when the other crew is on they seem to just ARGUE and its hard to listen to
RJJ, Lampley and Steward would be HBO's A-team IMO.
I know they don't have two experts in their, but this is what I would've preferred. Max could do the interviews.
Steward is incompetent. He reminds me of the average ignorant boxing fan who just changes his opinion every 30 seconds depending on whats going on in the ring.
RJJ is the best expert commentator HBO has ever had and should be there permanently.
totaly agree. steward should be replaced by jones.
Medved, he stuttered a word. No one gives better insight during a fight than Roy Jones Jr. I've been watching boxing since the early 90's.
I agree, but dont forget this is the main PPV HBO has done. Do they really wanna risk RJJ start stuttering and freezing?
I love RJJ to death and love when he commentates but dont forget who the end users are.
and BostonGuy, its the sad truth :( I wouldve been happy if he retired and stuck to commentating, every time he gets KO'd he loses brain cells, its science.
Find a copy of a HBO telecast from one of RJJ's earlier casts and the most recent ones, u can see the progression of his speech. Its very sad :(
he belongs on HBO/ HBO WCB / HBO B.A.D / HBO Small PPV (Dawson - Hopkins). But for an event like this? I dont know man
I like the team with Steward, Larry, Jim
RJJ cant even speak english half the time, he got so much brain damage that he stutters every 5 words
Jones had brain freeze in that instance. That happens when you're under pressure with a camera in front of you. Moreover, I wouldn't criticize the guy for having brain damage or other neurological disorder related to prize fighting. After all, you're a fan of boxing and you enjoy watching guys get punches and knocked out. Now your gonna criticize a man because of that?
Not good Medved...:no:
Steward is incompetent. He reminds me of the average ignorant boxing fan who just changes his opinion every 30 seconds depending on whats going on in the ring.

Roy Jones should replace Merchant and Stewart, all they ever do is argue amongst eachother while a guy like Jones knows what he is talking about
Lampley, Roy Jones, Max Kellerman <---this is who should of done the fight, HBO crew is getting too negative
Insinuating that steward doesn't know what he's talking about, great. Fans are as divided as the back and forth bickering between eman and Larry/Jim. That's the purpose, to have opposites so commentary doesn't become too bias.
STeward is there for that
You really dont need both. LArry has been in boxing for decades and seen it all.
Plus RJJ doesnt do interviews
WHy are people so upset that a man actually speaks his mind?!
