I'm watching Garcia-Herrera, for the second time, and the first round which was pretty much Herrera keeping Danny off him with many jabs to the body and some up top and he jabs then smothers 2-3 times to get in inside shots safely, Garcia landing manily 1 good right hand to the body and one upstairs with 1 or 2 more glancing power shots. Garcia did get out jabbed.
But the bad call was when Al Bernstein while summarizing round one said "Herrera's jab was dormant for the first round" Jesus ****ing Christ... are they paid off to do this or are these guys just ****ing blind?
Does anyone remember the broadcast, I believe this year, there was a fighter from Afghanistan or one of the -stan countries.. and the fighter had his father killed due to bombings/warzone And Lampley was like
"(Fighter's name) had lost his father in his country due to bombings........ life in Afghanistan." I was ****ing dying, me and my friend were like 'he did not need to go that far.' :rofl:
Not the exact wording but the "life in Afghanistan" part had me rolling. :lol1:
Whoever the main announcer is on the Youtube Floyd/Cotto fight. I don't know his name, but he did the Top Rank feed of Cotto/Martinez and he is just total and complete sh*t. He said something along the lines "I don't care what anyone says I've judged 10 million fights, I'm right." That just screams everything that is wrong with boxing judges, the fact that this old geezer who refuses to change means he see's a guy backing up, he thinks they are boxing better. He even had Martinez winning 2 rounds against Cotto, he wasn't outboxed for 3 minutes the entire fight much less a round. I just hate that guy, him and Teddy Atlas.
I dont really pay much attention to HBO or showtime commentators but during the Guerrero-Kamgai fight, Mauro Ranallo said " this fight is like the dentist and the doctor, tooth and nails"
That had be dying :lol1:
I Agree with most of what people are saying here especially Jim Lampleys "BANG.. You want to trade? BANG!BANG!Bang! Want to shell up? BANG! Bang! What's the square root of 67? BANG! Bang! Bang! Lol. But in all seriousness they are what they are. Human. Al, Jim, Max, Rjj, maulo? Paulie etc etc They are our boxing commentators part of our community I take everything they say with a grain of salt. But trust me I've sat in front of the tv yelling out loud for them to please STFU too!
Mauro Ranallo: "...as he stabs him again with that piston-like jab."
I'm starting to like Mauro, but he says that like 7 times throughout the entire card
" I wish I can find my words so I can eat them"
That was the first time i see hopkins, just couldn't believe my eyes, i was 12 and doesn't know sheet about boxing. i admit i really thought trinidad was winning :lol1:
I think it was round 8 of the second Hopkins Taylor fight ,
Lampley said how he thought It was close and Taylor might have done enough to nick it then he says Harold lederman scored it for Taylor......then the punch stat graphic for the round comes up and lampley ignores it and it showed Hopkins out landing Taylor by a lot in power punches and total punches.
Provodnikov literally sending Bradley to hell on the ropes and Max Kellerman's out there sucking Bradley's balls, not showing any appreciation to Ruslan's offense.
I think he also compared some bum (was it Karim Mayfield?) to Mike Tyson.
I wish there was another provider of fights, similar to how Top Rank does their lowkey fights... Larry Merchant and the other two are a lot more calming to listen to than HBO/Sho.. it made the Cotto/Martinez fight much more enjoyable.
I wish they would just genuinely and directly call the action, stop beating around the bush, and sugar coating the action.
Somebody already brought up Jim Lampley's "bang bang bang."
So I'll say Larry Merchant saying Mayweather wasn't hurt by Mosley's right hands in the second round.
I ****ing want to shoot myself whenever I hear Mauro Ranallo speak..
Running away/backing up in fear = "Utilizing that footwork!"
And how he always yells some wannabe dramatic, cheesy ass, pre-rehearsed line right before the end of each fight. Sooooo awkward.
