HBO Commentating

You think? I thought showtime did great tonight. It felt more like I was listening to them talk about the fight itself, then the fighters. Which usually is how it is in HBOs case, not always though. I thought Showtime were good overall, what I was saying is that Jim Lampley is better than Showtime's lead commentator.

lol are you guys retarded

I didn't think they were too bad. Talk over each other too much. One thing I will say is going from Lampley's lead commentary to the Showtime guy is a major step down in listening experience.

Thought they gave Murray his just due tbh.

They are like that alot towards their stars. I love the fact that Marquez knocked the **** out of Pac because they were also giving Marquez no credit before that. HBO and compubox are bull****. I honestly believe they are told to be lenient to their big money/up and coming fighters. Who can forget lampleys Bang bang with Manny. I have rewatched Chavez Taylor and when Chavez starts landing in the late rounds there are times where there is no Commentating for a good 20 sec. Yet when Taylor flurried they would call it.

The HBO commentators gave Murray plenty of props (e.g. noting solid connects, mentioning after 8 rounds that the scorecards may start looking 'very English', mentioning in the post fight interview with Murray that he was landed more cleanly and did more damage) and spent half the fight talking about how bad Sergio looked.

You guys cry about HBO commentary way too much.

jones was alright he called it right, even when they did the replay and they could have changed that slip to a KD (which it was) and they ruled it a slip, he just did a lil laugh and said no comment

I thought the HBO team gave too much credit to Martinez in the first 4-5 rds then it became obvious that Murray was doing so well that they could no longer ignore the work he was putting in. RJJ was the most fair imo.

was TERRIBLE for the Martinez fight. Gave Murray no props. As usual talking about irrelevant **** throughout the fight and not calling the actual like it happened. Awful. Martinez looked past his peak. Slow. He was being a primadonna though out the fight. You're seeing things. They were very clear that the title was up for grabs. :wtf1:

Don't know what your talking about. HBO commentators were praising Murray's hard and solid shots and even said the fight was up for grabs.

Roy Jones CALLED WHAT HE SEEN, the other two called the fight like Martinez Fans I like how Steve Bunce called them out on their BS lol

GAVE MURRAY NO CREDIT!? They were tugging his dick all night. Usually I wouldn't defend HBO here, but to say that was biased towards Martinez is just insane.

I don't usually like Steve Bunce, but for any of you that watched on BoxNation, he was absolutely right in saying that they didn't give Murray the credit he deserved. Just because someone from Europe put in a good, solid performance against one of the world's best, doesn't mean that Martinez is suddenly washed up. Give Murray credit for going to the man's own country in a different continent and almost coming away with the win.

lol seemed like Kellerman wanted to **** Murray. Roy was calling it good. Wasn't paying too much attention to them though

i thought it was even through 4. of course hbo had it 4-0 martinez. i knew it was gonna be a long night...

Roy kept it real throughout. Martinez has slowed considerably....

Just shown the second KD on Boxnation, feet weren't anywhere close to being tangled.
