Lampley on Barrera's nuts..?

[AllEyesOpen]

I thought that the nuthugging wouldn't be as bad as I had heard, but the whole HBO team was riding Barrera's ****, & I'm a huge Barrera fan, honestly I thought Marquez was taking over after round 5, If I recall correctly there was a point where it was obvious that Marquez was in control, but all they talked about was Barrera's jab & rhythm, Barrera would slow down, it was cause he was trying to counter punch, he picks up the pace & they would go crazy. Props to Steward cause he was the first to realize Marquez was throwing the harder shots, & taking over after the first few rounds.

"Marquez throws a flurry and Barrera lands a ->blistering<- left hook!"

he always says that

It wasn't just bad in this fight. Watch the Morales/Barrera 3 fight and you'll see the same ****. The way they kept riding Barrera's nuts was disgusting. I mean he did put on a great performance though the way they speak of 1 fighter in the ring, you forget their is another fighter in their with him. Then it plays out sort of like a bad guy type of deal. You got the guy HBO is riding the nuts as the good guy vs the guy they say like, Oh, he just tagged Barrera, that's not good. But Barrera comes back with a hard right! Right on the chin! I swear, it makes it sound like they turn the opposite HBO fighter into a villain for the broadcast.

Yeah there was many of times were Lampley wasn't giving credit to Marquez's punches and Barrera would land one punch and Lamps would go crazy. He has seen Barrera fight many times in big fights and all out wars so he probably has a lot of respect for him. It was definitely too much nuthugging.
