Just watched the HBO version of the fight and all Jim Lampely and Emmanuel Steward did was try justifying Harold Ledermans ridiculous scoring of the fight.
And I've noticed how quick he is to criticise different trainers. He cursed out Nacho Beristain for telling Marquez he was winning the fight in the championship rounds, btw i had Marquez winning rounds 10&12. Then he says Beristain should have been more conscious of the judging because the judges would be looking into the future for a May-Pac fight? Is this guy for real?
So he critisizes Beristain for not assuming that the judging could be corrupt. I'm sure had he assumed this, he'd have opted to fight elsewhere.
Steward is a joke. He goes on as if he's gods gift to boxing training. If it weren't for Wlad fighting bums, steward would be out of work. He was the head trainer of both Jermaine Taylor and Kermit Cintron when their careers were basically destroyed. I think he needs to be reminded of this.
The HBO team is getting worse and worse. I prefer the SHOWTIME team any day. They should sack these guys and make Kellerman, Roy Jones and Lennox Lewis the main anchors.
And in NO WAY did Pacquiao have a greater ring generalship than Marquez. Considering Pacquiao fought Marquez's fight; really says it all.
They just kept trying to justify Ledermans ****ty card. I'd love to hear how Larry Merchant scored the fight.
About time someone calls him out. Everybody has been ****ting on Merchant, Lampley, and Kellerman, but never said anything about Steward. He was extremely biased last night.
