He only commented when Kessler landed. And was kinda dick riding Kessler. Froch would land a combination and Kessler one punch back, and hed scream about it. Its become annoying with the bias they show. Even Andre Ward had to correct one of them and state, Froch landed 3 punches Kessler landed one. Ive always liked Lampley but he's becoming unlikeable.:gay:
I have many complaints about Lampley but I thought he was pretty fair towards Froch, he did say that Froch's punches were doing more damage than Kessler's. Also said that although Kessler had a good 11th round he needed a KO to win.
Commentators will often make out the fighter losing is doing better than he is to make the fight seem more competitive and exciting. You have to remember they are trying to sell something.
Lampley is still much better (brighter, wittier, etc.) than Roy Jones and Andre Ward.
very very annoying, he dont none about boxing n he acts like douche, every time i seen him at the fights live he acts so damn important lol, he combs his hair for like 20 minutes with somebody holdin the mirror
Bang bang bang bing bang bang
Watching that "BANG BANG" video was horrible.
This,Lampley should have been let go..He's a HOF and a great play by play guy,but his time is up..

I knida agree..He also seems to make everyone he works with very uncomfortable..
It was funny how many times Lampley said they didn't get the full coverage or something for this fight, he seemed like a sad second choice girlfriend or something
Yeah, I think the word is resentment. His nose seemed out of joint about something, you'd think he'd just enjoy the crowd, atmosphere and fight itself instead of looking for things to whinge about.
After Lampley read the punch stats he started trying to make an argument for Kessler winning the fight...until Ward basically told him to shut up and that Froch won clearly. Lampley needs to go, he's awful.
He did seem to be going down that road. I think Lampley had his winner picked before the fight started and I'm not sure it was for boxing reasons.
Lampley seemed very "anti" the British crowd from the outset, he kept referencing the effect of the crowd and how Kessler wasn't getting credit for his shots. He didn't really want to give any credit to the winner at the end either.
Max semi-arguing and trying to correct Andre Ward is annoying too although Kellerman was a lot better tonight than he usually is.
Overall they didn't speak very much during the commentary compared to usual, there were long periods of silence.

I think I just hate most commentators. I can not stand Lampley Kellerman Lederman or any of those guys no matter what. I would rather hear Roy or Ward. Showtime is annoying too.
Whole HBO commentary team was terrible, they all were dick riding Kessler. Just to show how much their commentary affects peoples opinions the text poll for who won had 39% of people voting that Kessler won. "peeleft:
No it's not it's quite clear he meant a friend, if the first thing you taught was gay then I'd guess your gay and just don't want to admit it with your self.
Or your a complete and utter cunt who doesn't deserve to live.
but thats about it.
exactly what i was thinking ... it dont bother me one bit lol **** like that was when i i was a 5th grader smh but that mindstate don't leave people some times sadly even when they grown
Anyone who is shocked by a company (HBO, Showtime, Sky Sports, Box Nation, place any name here, etc etc etc.) showing its bias through their representatives (Lampley, Bernstein, etc.) on their own network is an idiot. Take it for what it is, listen to them or don't. You can still form your own opinion?
