The Fight Game seems a bit more honest than what they sell through commentary on HBO.
They had Ward at P4P #1 at the table and that's something I'd probably never hear during commentary for their fights with GGG. Talked about Gonzalez being iffy about being #1 because of his size.
Seems much more honest than their commentaries. Lampley even owns up to his self-hyping commentary.
Great show for casuals, likely won't like it if you're smart enough to formulate your own opinion and think for yourself and you understand the sport of boxing because you watch it just as much as they do. I think that is who HBO is targeting anyway!
I like B-Hop and Kellerman, don't care for Lampley and that Beadle chick who don't know sh1t about Boxing and just seems to be their for more Camera Time. Never seen her at a Boxing Gym, rarely see her at boxing events (that she can get into :lol1: ), could have gave that spot to Crystina Poncher or Michelle Joy Phillips or Michelle Rosado the few ladies I see at least covering boxing. Her interview with Cotto was terrible, seems like she don't even know what to ask him.
Not sure who their target is, but it's good that there is even a talk show for boxing! The U.S. doesn't have anything like BoxNation which really sucks. Anytime boxing came up on ESPN it was related to May-Pac and very few guys know anything about boxing at ESPN.
ESPN's First Take with Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless were cringe worthy when it came to boxing.
They should get Rosie Perez on the show. She's at every New York boxing event I've watched.

Yeah I'm not too sold on where Ward is going yet either. Really hope he gets active so I can go watch him fight in Oakland sometime.
Also, nice sig lol. That lanky guy got the Paul Williams treatment :lol1:
I hope Ward gets 3 fights next year and that includes Kovalev and a couple other well ranked LHWs.
Thanks lol Just by chance that I found tha tgif
No he doesn't he is just sarcastically responding to Kellerman.
But they made some good points on this show but it's news to me that Ward is officially at LHW. He looks months away from a title shot and is continuously calling out MWs or SMWs. So that needs to be confirmed.

You will also notice that Lampley gave a ton of credit to a few recent fights on PBC on the last The Fight Game.
I will never agree with his reasons for Andre Ward being number 1 P4P. How can anyone, especially someone as experienced and a member of the boxing hall of fame, use 4 year old accomplishments to put a fighter at the top of a ranking in 2015? That was a disgrace.
