Jim Lampley is the Absolute Worst

I was going to watch HBO first as I knew Kov fight was going to be meh, but my better judgment told me to watch Wilder first, when I heard Jim said who won, I was furious as I remember like 10 years ago, Showtime did the same. I am sure is not Jim who made the decision to call who won but his producers. ESPN and most sports channels come out with this huge red banner that says "Score ahead" or something like that, so you turn away or cover the bottom of the t.v.. I think it is a disgrace they do that, between the lack of stars, fighters wanting more money and fighting less and this type of shenanigas, Boxing dont need MMA or anything else to destroy itself.

This is why I always watch the better fight. You expect the network with the worst fight to try and undermine the ratings on the other network however they can. We all just need to understand Lampley is more company man than boxing guy.

Who booked that date first? HBO or SHO? If it was HBO, then no harm no foul, serves SHO right for going up against them with a competing card on the same night. I'm not a fan of Lampley. He's the king of calling phantom punches that are never thrown or landed. Ranallo is gaining on him though, he's called his fair share of phantom punches too.

Not only that, they put him on commentary on saturday. Yeah he was horrible, having to listen to him and the creepy public school boy is probably the worst combination

He’s one of the worst in the US along with Schuab and Stephen A. The clowns over here like Jonny Nelson, Bellew, Adam Smith, Froch, Spencer Fearon etc (essentially anyone on Sky) are the absolute worst.. ... but particularly Nelson, how he gets work as a pundit is beyond me. Not only that, they put him on commentary on saturday.

I don't get the big deal. Reporting boxing results during a boxing match. After it already ended. So? Some boxing forums used to have a strict no spoilers rule where you couldn't discuss a fight for 24 hours out of respect to people who couldn't see it live etc... Then someone realized they could just not visit a boxing website if they didn't want boxing spoilers. Problem solved. I know. I avoid all boxing forums and download boxing off WBVA and watch them in order of importance and save the best till last. Spoilers shouldn't be mentioned by commentators at all, though. Like football (soccer), the commentators usually say "to those who haven't watched the match on ITV 2 look away now" when they show highlights from another match and the results.

Blame yourself mate. Who in their right mind would choose kov vs a bum over the wilder fight You've got a point.

So, I planned my viewing schedule as follows: Brook, Kovalev, Wilder During the first round of the Kovalev fight Lampley says, "we've just learned Wilder just knocked out Ortiz in the tenth round" What an absolute cvnt. He obviously did it so people didn't switch the channel. why would u watch a kov tune up fight over wilder/ortiz.....now if kov fought bivol.....i would feel u on that.....but you made a unwise move big guy.......

That doesn't make sense. If he said that, that means the fight is done and people don't really have a reason to switch the channel. I see thread after thread of nonsense from the OP. I think there's something wrong with the guy. "So they wouldn't change the channel". Huh? The event took place. It was not possible to switch away and watch it live. If you planned to DVR it, then you must understand that life is hard sometimes. For people like you, it's only going to get harder...

At least he didnt cry when he told you

Your reasoning is flawed but I agree that Lampley is a total shyte bag.

That doesn't make sense. If he said that, that means the fight is done and people don't really have a reason to switch the channel. Exactly. What's the point in tuning in at that point lol. I guess he should have said " spoiler alert" first?

Should have watched the better fight first. You wouldn't have gave a fk if the Showtime guys told you Kovalev beat that irrelevant nobody he fought 😂😂

Lampley was a disgrace last night when it came to the Bivol fight and by the Kov fight I wasn’t even really interested in that garbage or what Lampley or Kellerman had to say about that sh.it fight When I got home I watched Wilder / Ortiz first which was a great f.ucking fight and got me amped then Bivol / Barrera which was Decent but hated the Bivol bias and then the Kov fight which was a sh.it fight

I'd call Lampley a f*cking tool, but that would be an insult to all the tools out there. He's the sh*t that tools sh*t out.

Yeah, no sympathy for picking such a sh*t fight over Wilder/Ortiz. I haven't even got around to the Kovalev fight as it's inconsequential.

Look, he did it on purpose. If the fight was happening later that night he wouldn't even have mentioned it, just like he's never ever mentioned a fight happening later on a competing network. He's a selfish, man-child who doesn't give a sh1t about fans. All he cares is about ratings. Like the time he dissed an MMA event (so unprofessional) live on air and Kellerman put him in his place.
