That new guy is terrible and extremely boring.
I miss the super enthusiastic "OKAY Jim, I have it 5 rounds to 2....Jim, I gotta tell you, this Crawford guy is truly something special"
Whenever Lederman retires, he deserves a special send off. Like him or not, he is an icon in the sport of boxing. Larry Merchant deserved a lot more recognition than he received on the way out as well.
I can't find anything online that confirms that Lederman has retired. In fact, there's this tweet from just 17 hours ago:
Harold Lederman @shotfighter26 17h
@andreward - Happy Fathers Day, Andre. I can't wait to work with you again on HBO. All my best wishes.
I think what happened is that Weisfeld is now the "unofficial judge" for the BAD crew, whereas Lederman remains the guy for the WCB crew.
The new guy does sound boring, but at least he knows how to score a fight
I'd take that over "OKAY JIM I GOT IT THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED"
Lederman favors aggression over effectiveness
Lederman is pretty good. He had Abril beating rios and praises the one judge all the time for getting it right
Yeah his scores have been on point so far. He just doesn't have a personality like Lederman but honestly who cares, he's just a guy that reads his scores every few rounds and offers a quick assessment.
If he continues to be an accurate and fair scorer, I'll take that over wacky Lederman any day.
ok satan!
i gave rounds six seven and eight to horton and terrel, because i thought the bosslady nudes really hurt MIB.
five rounds to three to the brothers.
satan!
